An old man in search of his mentally challenged son was seen sleeping on a tricycle at night on the street in Zouping County, east China's Shandong province, on Sep 13. The younger brother of the missing man said his father had been looking for his elder brother for 3 years ever since he went missing in 2014. The younger brother said his father only took short breaks back home when he felt really tired and continue searching after he got some rest. The brother said the old man did not listen to others who tried to stop him and sold all the sheep he raised to fund the search. Riding a tricycle and carrying with him blankets, the old man could not help keeping looking for his son because he was too concerned to let go. Some people who were moved by the old man's determination provided him with food and other necessities to express sympathy for his loss.
