Despite his limited physical abilities, Zhang Xiaodong can take care of his father, who had a stroke several years ago. The 36-year-old was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis in 2008. Since then, he has only been able to move his arms and hands. He recently started sharing videos of their daily life on social media platforms to earn money for joint surgery which may help him walk again.

huge respects to the son taking care of his father while having his own disability's such a caring son
And taking care of that cute little kitten too haha
Yeah
Aaamen bruh.🙏🏻☀️

@@readmychanneldescription1237 But your channel description automatically makes you identifiable as a troll anyways, so thanks for telling us that
Even the people who are not disabled were not taking care of their parents but this man he's is just amazing..
Can only move his arms and hands but he is still cooking everday for his father ?! He is cleaning every room, is going to grocery shopping, is doing chores as well and even helped his father with washing his face ?
And he is still worried about him being a burden to his family ?
This man is doing something that majority of people nowadays *wouldn't even do for themselves* like cleaning and cooking everyday, let alone taking care and respecting the older ones.
This man is truly a role model !
you are absolutely right
@@readmychanneldescription1237 Don't spread such foolishness nothing about BLM is anti anything let alone Asian
Well, if you got something thats not so obvious, not diagnosed properly, a rare disease, or a mental illness, then society gonna be hard for you.
@@readmychanneldescription1237 BLM is irrelevant with this video. What an idiot u are!
This makes me not want to complain about anything ever again. I have a lot of respect for the both of them! Beautiful!!
I think it's ok to be upset about things but just do what you can to help the situation as complaining I find doesn't improve or solve anything. Seeing this video, I think the son given his condition and his care for his father is amazing ♥️
Here in the free west we complain alot, its in our blood as its our right. But that said.. the rights is only to protect us, it doesnt mean its the "right" thing to do..
This man is a total boss. The physical and mental strength it must take, I'm blown away. 💜

Yup, this real top g
This man went from a completely normal life to severely disabled in 3 months and still takes care of his dad. Bless his heart.
I'm both disappointed and disgusted with his relative, leaving him alone with his father when they both just needed helps, I mean, what if he fell down or worst, how could those relative just abandoned them like that
@@gambler942 easier said than done. You're not in their shoes so you don't know what they're going through, at least they (the relatives) took care of them for some time, maybe life was just so hard that they can only take care of themselves. I'm sure most people would be "selfish" if they're going through tough time
@@AnhNguyen-bp1qk then at least hired a nanny or someone
@@gambler942 Ah yes. Clearly they're a rich family. Yes... Hire a nanny. Are you willing to donate to hire a nanny for this poor chap?
@@murimurimrui I try and do it in a heartbeat, what about you, would you do it, would you donate aswell

Legit question, you got me
I hope surgery is an option for him. He struggles, yet he gets it all done. So glad to see volunteers are coming in and hope they keep helping the both of them. You never give up because of your parents.
Spine surgery is very risky operation
They said about joints, not spine.
@@user-fs6fr1un4fAS affects the spine and sacrum joint mainly, and spinal surgery is always risky.
I would volunteer too, it is blessing, be part of helping make their life easier.

These are people who have a valid reason for a gofundme campaign. Not the usual ones requesting money for bogus expenses or because someone hurt their feelings and people donate out of sympathy. The caregiver needs care too. This really touched my heart ❤️

As a med student, I just learned about ankylosing spondylitis. The interesting thing is that as I'm learning about these diseases, I never fully appreciate the importance of the information since there's so much to learn in a very short time. Videos like this help put things into perspective and humble me. I never knew the condition could be so debilitating. All I knew was that it can be caused by some sort of breakdown in the gut microbiome layer, that then causes IL-17 and and other cytokines to inflame the spine, resulting in a "bamboo" like spine, and leading to back pain, pain at tendon insertion sites, etc. No where did I take time to actually step back and think about patients with this condition until now- just the text book definitions of how this condition may present. Thank you for your video and for inspiring me to step beyond the books more. Your incredible strength and mental determination also inspires me beyond medicine and for this I'm grateful.
You're absolutely right. I'm an optometrist and we learnt about ankylosing spondylitis and the other HLAB27+ diseases which because they're heavily associated with anterior uveitis. So we always have to rule out those diseases when a patient has uveitis. But I had no idea it can be so debilitating to the point of being wheelchair bound.
"I can't be selfish." He's a true example of resilience. Wishing Zhang and his father all the best they desire. In this messed up world, it's refreshing to see some people hearts are pure gold.
The fact that he even knew that his relatives needed to take a break, so he moved out 😭 and took care of him AND his father! My heart broke.
@DON'T READ MY PROFILE 🤓
This right here is absolute love and respect and going far beyond what sons do for their parents. Amazing
This son had to have been well taken care of by his Dad. Now he is honored to return the care. How courages.🙏🏽
It's part of their culture.
They love and respect their elders, whether be their own parents or other older folk in their culture.
They were taught not only by saying its the thing to do (love respect and include their elders in their lives) but it was and still is shown in their lives to this day.
The family always include the parents/grandparents along with children and in most cases uncle au ts.
There are parents who are much better off than this father yet abandon their child with less disabilities than this son. There are children who are much able than this son and yet abandon their parents. This duo are heaven's blessings for each other. I hope they remain healthy and safe.
Absolutely!
Amen! Amen! AMEN!!
They aren't real parents just selfish rotten human beings,you never abandon your child for disability reasons just never.
This man can't walk talk or even use anything other than his arms and hands and he still does more for his paralyzed father than most spoiled children in america would do for their ageing parents,they rather just ditch them in a somber old people home where they often get abused aswell.
@@KimchiYeo
Your comment is just perfect.
I couldn't agree more with you.
Says those who never look after a disabled person before.
This makes me feel my daily “problems” aren’t problems at all, and to be thankful for everything.
Very true. I feel the same
So true! I’m literally crying thinking about it 😔
❤️
The way he feeds his dad is priceless ❤️
And the way his dad eats from his son is also priceless ❤️
I couldn’t watch without tears !!
Same!
You really can’t make an excuse after watching this man. If he can do this literally anyone can. Mad props sir.
The worldcwould be an amazing place to live if more people followed this mans selfless example .
He literally has his "own" disability, and just finds a way to put it aside for his father's benefit. Huge respect!
Jesus is so proud ♥️✝️👍
@@rosegold799 yep. he will be so rich in rewards in heaven
He is more useful as a disabled than half of the able-bodied people I know. Also, he's got a huge heart. Love will really make us do the impossible for those we care about. I hope father and son are living better.
Right? All these able bodied people going around saying they can’t work and this guy with ALS is taking care of his hemiplegic father and doing all the chores! It just is so inspirational and should make lazy people feel ashamed smh
Amen...that is SOOOO true.

What an inspiration this man is. It has really given me a reality check. Caring for himself with a debilitating condition/disability hadn't stopped him caring for his father and sweet rice ball. Total legend! Very sad that he can't afford a carer.....its the least he should be given.
I'm glad there are people who are willing to help him and his father even though they get nothing in return. I hope everyone lives long and gets blessed.
This is very humbling. Makes me think of how shallow and petty my "problems" are. What an incredible display of love, sacrifice and the strength of the human spirit.
I feel the same way Maria. I think a lot of people reflect when they see stuff like this. It humbles us and hopefully afterward we make some sort of change in our life to help ppeople. Some people see this and , it doesn't phase them at all.
Everyone is different and i recommend to take care of yourself and then others. How can you help others if you do not care for yourself first? Your problems are not petty, everyone deals with different problems everyday. Please take care of yourself!!
Stop invalidating your problems
@@justinwinnthesecond she/he isn't invalidating her/his problems. She's/he's only reflecting about the situation showed in this video (the guy which is an super hero ❤️) what helps anyone to be more humble and grateful about even the minor things in life. Some of our problems are insignificant and we tend to complain about everything, this kind of reflection help us to be a better person, with more integrity. It's a healthy process so stop projecting acceptance of a miserable state (built in ungrateful behavior) and work for a new positive perspective.
Well Said👏🏾
So heart warming. Dad is lucky to have a son like this.
Indeed!
Yeah to of a kind that is nice 👌
Yes😢😢
@@abyss6681 yeah
Man!
This guy restores my faith on humanity!
This is the most insane son ever, even if he has disabilities he still has to help his PARALYSED dad.Respect
This man is a true hero. Hope I'll remember him when having any "problems".
Most times I dislike social media, but this kind of stuff makes me thankful for it! Words cannot describe how much respect I have for the son. Just wow.
Same last name as me
Me too
@Noogle Noodle Nice way to rub it in
Couldn’t have said it better💯
Just when I wanted to give up after spending 3 months at hospital. Thank you for this video!
Get better.
Please put up a donation link for ppl who need help so we can donate ❤🙏🏼
This takes "Where there is will, there is a way" to a whole new level.
I agree, I know someone who can do so much, but uses her mental illness as an excuse to even learning cooking (when she can work and doesnt have any physical disabilities). Spent almost million on hospitalizations, only to stop meds, and literally waving her illness even tho no one ask if she has one

@@readmychanneldescription4406 Ok but why does that matter here
Nothing but the highest respect to him,the volunteers and the doctors.

This is a real man. Just inspiring. I really hope he can stand again.
That father raised an incredible man and now that man is returning the favor. There is so much love, devotion, understanding, and respect there.
I'm so touched and ready to cry.I never see a loving son to his paralyzed dad.For me he is the most abled man that shows so much responsibilties.I would love to share this video.

UNBELIEVABLE selflessness and determination. If only everyone in the world were like this, it would be a much better place.
I agree :)

I disagree. If everyone were disabled and had kids the world would be a worse place.
This warms my heart ❤️❤️❤️
@@NickoGibson Excuse you? Even if everyone was "disabled," the world would just need to think harder. What would you think if you were disabled and you saw this? Being born disabled or having it is something no one can prevent, so it's not their fault if they were born or have a trait that makes them "disabled."
I guess the dad when he was healthy also take care the son very well. So now the son can take care the father very well too.
Huge respect I hope they get more help
I think so.
He is one of the most ABLED HUMAN. he truly is the kind of person the world needs compassionate competent inspirational most of us are disabled compared to him.
What a kind heart he has. We can all learn something so valuable through him
So much respect to the son despite his disability he taking care of his father. I know how hard taking care of his father because when my dad still alive I was the one who took care until he died. I never regret that's how I love my father.
It's already hard taking care of someone paralyzed, but you yourself having a disability makes it harder but you're still staying strong through the challenges! Stay strong and hope you can get the surgery soon! You deserve it!
@KINDLY HELP ME REACH TO 100K SUB And wow, you type rudely in all caps. So in regards to your screen name, no.
What breaks my heart is that the man is the epitome of filial piety. At first, I was annoyed wondering why the relatives were in an economic bind and was too stressed out to help. But then when it was explained said relatives were his elderly aunt and uncle who were childless, I immediately took my assumptions back (I thought there might be cousins dodging responsibility).
I do hope he gets the surgery to fix his medical condition but I'm still sad with an able body, he would look after 3 people instead of one. It makes perfect sense for him to look after his aunt and uncle, but he has to make sure he gives himself enough post operative recovery period or else he can stress his body and cause further medical downtime. 😓
Какие хорошие люди, какой заботливый человек!
We need more people like him! BLESSINGS to him and his family.❤ Thankfully, social media has helped him get the help they deserve 🙏
Being disabled doesn’t mean helpless. This son is using his abilities to help his more disabled father. What a blessing he is! We have a similar situation in our home.
You do what ya gotta do or you just quit. For most of us, quitting is simply not an option...it's just not in us.
@@lucylulusuperguru3487 Preach!
Even with his condition, he only thinks about others (his goal is to take care of his father, uncle and aunt). He was raised well. Such a selfless man. I hope life gets better for all of them...
Respect for you not giving up on your father.
Definitely Surgery will be Successful.
This is those kind of stories that remind me how bless I am. It just melt my heart seeing this...
I'm a caregiver. Even if I wasn't being paid, Id help this family out. Even if it was just once a week out of kindness to ease the burden. This is the sweetest thing I've ever seen
agree

Amazing. Not only him, his dad too doesn't show an ounce of giving up. They way he took the spoon and feed himself. This man must've feel all kinds of feeling when being diagnosed, leaving their relative's house, every morning even...yet so strong willed.
*удивительно*
Why is it that people who try their hardest and deserve to live always have to suffer like this?
These guys deserve to live more than I do. I'm embarassed and ashamed of myself as a human being.

I am ashamed of the many complaints that I make about my very privileged life that I have 😟😫.
Dont worry.... I think all of us feel the same way too.
I with you, I feel pretty ashamed myself for thinking I have problems, seeing this makes my problems look like sand next to a rock 😵💫😢☹️ MAY THE LORD CONTINUE TO BLESS THIER HEARTS TO KEEP TAKING CARE OF EACH OTHER‼️🙏 what an eye opener 😳😯🤔
Im also ashamed of my "spoilt" life compared to this amazing man, everything at my finger tips and i still complain at times. I wish i could give him my strength and use of legs to better care for himself and his father.
What an incredible man!!! His father and family are so lucky and have raised him well. Remarkable effort and love displayed in action.
He’s such a strong man & he’s helping his father to😩❤️
It's also very wholesome that he remembers the relatives that helped him and includes them in his goals.
Most people would have acted differently.. Like as we were a burden for them, I'm going to show them we do fine without them
I have never seen anything so selfless in all of my life. We whine and complain, but this man takes it (life) like a champ. What a wonderful human being.
that guy is real man! he was loyalty family! he doesn’t complain about himself he only care about father more important than himself he just seen okay with it he had my respectfully!!!!
Unglaublich starker Mensch/ Sohn. So viel Liebe.
The son was raised properly by the dad. When you think your life is hard…just watch this video as a reminder.
This is touching yet sad at the same time. Taking care of someone for long term is no easy feat even as an abled person, and this man manages to take care of his dad AND himself while disabled. I'm glad some volunteers are doctors are helping them, but the government should have provided sufficient help to the most vulnerable members of society in the first place.

Its a pure love not a duty. A person who needs help is helping his Dad. What else world is doing War , hatred , selfishness , bias etc.. 😔😔😔
Because he remembers how his loving Father took care of him. What a lovely son.
I literally don’t have words. He an incredible man
My son has ankylosing spondylosis also, its not as bad as this man's yet. He does however lend a lot of support to caring for his autistic brother. He fights to combat the disease every day. Its truly is heartbreaking. Kudos for this man's ability to overcome the obstacles.
His father raised him right. This is probably the first time I ever saw a disabled son take care of his father like that. Too many kids take parents for granted but the son is extremely amazing. He is disabled himself but that does not stop him from taking care of his father and he refuses to be a burden to other people. Huge respect to the son.
You two are amazing. I have so much respect for this. Bless you both.
