    A father who was disabled at work and abandoned (抛弃) by his wife brings his daughter on his takeout routes.

    The 39-year-old man from Yunnan Province lost his mother when he was a teenager, He experienced a serious accident in 2012. And his wife abandoned him and their daughter three years ago.

    But Li Bangyong didn't give up.

He has managed to support himself and his girl by delivering takeout over the past two years.

    Li moved to Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province to find a job but lost it after a machine crushed(压碎) his right hand.

    He started delivering food with his baby last year. He put a safety chair on hise—bike. His girl wears a special coat to protect against sunlight and a quilt to keep warm. He works this way from 7：30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. with only a 10—minute lunch break. He feeds his girl bread when she cries and slows down when she falls asleep. Li always carries her when he takes the food to customer's doors, although he often has to climb many stairs.

    He faces hardship but finds comfort in his work.

    And many people have offered support to Li after reading his story.
