Grieving father stops son visiting late mother’s burial site in run-up to crucial test so boy can focus on studies.
A 19-year-old has moved millions of people online by wearing a photograph of his late mother while sitting for the most important exam of his life.
Chen, from central China’s Jiangxi province, took China’s national college entrance exam, also known as “gaokao”, from June 7 to June 9.
His father, Li Wenbo, said Chen wore black, a symbol of mourning, on the second day. On the last day of the test, he wore his late mother’s photo on his T-shirt.
Chen said he wore it in a position close to his heart so that his mother could sit the exam together with him.
