Hu Ming is an associate professor who works in the School of Economics at Guizhou University in southwest China. His 85-year-old mother has Alzheimer’s disease. So he has to take his mother to class with him. And he has done this for four years.
Maybe you will say he can have some other people take care of his mother, such as his sisters, or nurse. Indeed, he has three sisters. But they couldn’t take care of her because his mother only recognizes him and follows him wherever he goes. He also tried a nurse, but failed.
"My mother’s symptoms were so severe that she drank dishwater, and was unable to tell sugar, salt or washing powder apart," explained Hu, who is 58. "She was unable to be without me and always made me worried, so I began to take her with me to class." With his mother in sight, he was able to pay more attention on teaching, Hu added.
His mother was unsettled at home, sometimes making such a mess that he had to spend a whole day to clean up. However, she kept quiet in class. Both the students and the university sympathized(同情) with Hu and were moved by his filial(孝顺的) action.
According to teachers, the school neither supported nor opposed Hu’s solution, so long as the mother did not cause bad effect to his classes.
