Kind young Chinese pupils rush to help crashed delivery rider, pick up scattered lunchboxes
A group of school pupils in China have moved internet users by supporting an electric bicycle and picking up lunchboxes left scattered on the road after a food delivery worker crashed while working.
The touching scene was filmed by a camera worn on the chest of delivery man Dong Ziheng while he was riding the electric bike in an alley in Xingtai, northern Hebei province on June 3.
Dong fell off the bike as he tried to avoid hitting another electric bike coming in the opposite direction.
After the fall, a young boy wearing glasses ran towards him and offered to help.
With his bike now standing up, Dong looked back to check on the food he was delivering.

He was taken aback to find that the boy and several of his schoolmates, all dressed in their school uniforms, were collecting spilled lunchboxes from the ground and putting them back in the basket on the back of his bike.

Daddy cool: how Hong Kong fathers are building ‘unforgettable' bonds with kids
Younger generations of Hong Kong dads are increasingly eager to engage more with their children, but often face challenges due to limited time and parenting skills, an NGO has said ahead of Father's Day on Sunday. Allen Ha Wing-on, co-founder of the DADs Network, said that traditional expectations and busy schedules posed obstacles for local fathers. 'Traditionally, not just in Asia, fathers are expected to provide financially, but are not necessarily very engaged relationally,' said the father of two, whose organisation has spent a decade advocating for a more prominent role for dads. 'Even though the young generations of fathers are very keen to be involved, they find it difficult to navigate between work demands and meaningful family engagement.' He further explained that the high pressure and long working hours, combined with children's busy schedules, including after-school activities, often resulted in 'weak and unsustainable' bonds between children and fathers. He added that, unlike mothers, fathers did not naturally get together as a community. This observation motivated him to establish an organisation in 2015 dedicated to creating a networking platform for dads, alongside arranging father-child activities.
