Mother seeks job transfer due to disruptions caused by internet users wanting to see her and her son
A street cleaner in China who tied a string from the wrist of her mentally disabled son to her own while she worked has gained significant attention on mainland social media.
However, this new-found fame has disrupted her life, as online influencers have flocked to film her, with many inquiring about the donations she has received, according to Fujian TV.
In early July, a video clip captured by a pedestrian, featuring a female street cleaner and her son near a popular tourist site in Xi'an, Shaanxi province, went viral during a heatwave that saw temperatures exceeding 35 degrees Celsius.
“This is a mother and son. One hand holds the broom that sustains her livelihood, while the other holds her son,” the passer-by captioned in the video.
