In Xiaolong Junior High School, Huichang County, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, teachers and students often see such a warm scene: a classmate carries a classmate who has limited mobility on his back to go upstairs and downstairs, eat and fetch water, and go to the toilet.
He is Liu Yu from the ninth grade (3) class of the school. Since the seventh grade, he has liked to be the "leg" of Xu Huai, a classmate suffering from poliomyelitis, to help him get to and from school. This back is three years.
In 2019, Xu Huai and Liu Yu were divided into the same class after being admitted to Xiaolong Junior High School.
Xu Huai was unable to walk normally due to polio.
On the first day of the seventh grade, Liu Yu was still in the classroom after school, when suddenly he heard someone say to him, "I'll carry you downstairs and go home!" For Liu Yu's first help, Xu Huai still fresh in memory.
Every day to and from school, from the carport to the classroom, from the classroom to the carport, the scene of Liu Yu and his classmates carrying Xu Huai back has become a unique landscape on the campus.

And it was this sentence that tied the two teenagers who didn't know each other together.
"When I saw Xu Huai's difficulties, I felt very uncomfortable. I just wanted to help him." Liu Yu said that although the two were neither brothers nor relatives, but seeing Xu Huai who was inconvenient, he took the initiative to take the responsibility out of sympathy. From then on, he carried Xu Huai up and down the stairs every day, and even carried Xu Huai to the toilet.
Xu Huai's home is two kilometers away from the school. Because his parents have to work to earn money, he usually rides an electric tricycle to and from home and school by himself.
After arriving at the school, Liu Yu called the carport and carried Xu Huai on his back, walked across the playground and climbed up to the classroom on the third floor; when school was over, Liu Yu would carry Xu Huai downstairs, came to the carport, and put Xu Huai on the electric tricycle.
"When I first started carrying it, I still found it difficult. I occasionally took a breather on the second floor." I saw Liu Yu, who had just finished training in the morning, skillfully pick up Xu Huai from the school carport, and quickly cross the playground and climb the stairs. When he arrived at the classroom, he gently put Xu Huai on the seat.
"In the past three years, I haven't fallen once. With his back, I'm also very relieved." Xu Huai said gratefully.

Nowadays, carrying Xu Huai to and from school has become Liu Yu's unstoppable habit every day.
"We usually start the morning exercise at 6:15. After our morning exercise, Xu Huai just came to the school. He put the electric car and waited for me in the carport, and then I went to the carport to carry him. After a few years, we all formed A tacit understanding, no need to remind others." Liu Yu said.
Liu Yu's actions gradually attracted the attention of teachers and students. They were moved by Liu Yu's behavior and were subtly affected. The students in the class and even students from other classes also consciously joined the team to help Xu Huai.
"Help others and be happy with yourself." Soon, Yuan Caiyou, a classmate in ninth grade (1), also took the initiative to participate in the action of backing Xu Huai.
"The child is disabled due to illness, and as a parent, he is still worried about his life at school. Now, we have so many enthusiastic classmates to help him solve many problems in study and life. We are very grateful." Xu Huai's father Xu Zhen said.
Liu Yu, Xu Huai and their classmates had lunch together.

Liu Yu and Xu Huai also became good friends over time and established a deep friendship.
Whether in study or in life, Liu Yu tried to help him as much as possible.
"I hope we are still classmates in high school, and I am willing to continue to carry him to school." Liu Yu said.
"It's very simple to do this thing for one day, but if you want to stick to it for three years, you have to rely on his perseverance and a kind of love from the heart. This spirit of helping others is invaluable." Zhang Jinghui, the head teacher, said that Liu Yu not only Willing to help others, also very hard to study, good at research, is a positive and motivated child.
Another afternoon, when the school bell rang, the ninth grade, class three, and students walked out of the classroom one after another, leaving only Liu Yu, Yuan Caiyou, and Xu Huai in the classroom.
Xu Huai packed up the books, Yuan Cai helped carry the schoolbag, Liu Yu carried Xu Huai downstairs and walked to the carport behind the playground, and then put Xu Huai on the electric tricycle. After a little adjustment, Xu Huai could ride back by himself. Home... (End)
