Dad's 71-day trek to see son in prison
The man walked for 71 days from his hometown at Taihe town, Anhui province, to the prison at Lianping town, Guangdong province.
The pensioner, whose name was not disclosed by the Southern Daily, had planned to take the train but had his savings stolen shortly after leaving home. The father, who walks with a stick, says he begged all the way, and sometimes ate rotten food from bins during his two month journey.
"I didn't see him for two years. I am here to visit him and tell him not to worry about me and transform himself for good, while in prison," he said.
Prison wardens were so touched by his story that they even bent the rules to allow him to see his son.
"We usually need the visitor to show us his ID card, but his was stolen along with the money," said warden Liu Guanghui.
The son, Xie Fei, revealed that his father is actually is his adoptive father, as his real parents died when he was ten.
"He adopted me and loves me very much, but I have nothing to repay all this," said Xie.
His father made the return journey home in much less time - after wardens clubbed together to buy him a train ticket.
The story in Bahasa..
Kakek tua itu menyusuri jalan langkah demi langkah dengan tongkatnya selama 71 hari. Usia 72 tahun lengkap dengan rambut putihnya tidak menghalangi niat mengunjungi putra tercintanya di penjara.
Tidak ada pilihan selain berjalan kaki. Tukang copet telah mencuri niatnya semula untuk menumpang kereta api.
Cinta si kakek yang tinggal di Kota Taihe, Anhui, Cina, benar-benar diwujudkannya selama perjalanan. Dia rela mengemis dan mengorek makanan basi di tempat sampah agar bisa bertemu putranya di tempat yang jauhnya 600 mil di Kota Lianping, Guangdong.
"Saya sudah 2 tahun tidak melihatnya. Saya ke sini untuk bertemu dan memberitahunya agar tidak mengkhawatirkan saya dan agar berubah menjadi baik selama di penjara," kata si kakek.
Rasa haru menyelimuti petugas penjara yang mendengar kisah kakek tua itu. Akhirnya mereka melonggarkan peraturan supaya sang kakek bisa bertemu putranya.
"Kami biasanya mewajibkan pengunjung menunjukkan kartu identitasnya, tapi punya dia hilang waktu uangnya dicuri," kata petugas penjara Liu Guanghui.
Masih belum takjub? Cerita tentang si kakek belum selesai.
Anaknya, Xie Fei, ternyata bukan anak kandungnya sendiri alias hasil adopsi. Xie Fei pun mengakui betapa besar cinta si kakek pada dirinya.
"Dia mengadopsi saya dan sangat mencintai saya. Saya tidak punya apa-apa untuk membayar semua kasih sayangnya," kata Xie.
Usai menjenguk Xie, si kakek bisa pulang ke rumahnya tanpa harus bersusah payah. Petugas penjara yang bersimpati patungan untuk membeli tiket kereta buat si kakek.
