When it came time for Zhao to go off to college, he just couldn't leave his father behind in the care of others. Instead, he moved his dad into the dormitory room at the university at Luoyang, so he could be a caregiver for his paralyzed parent.

Zhao is just starting his college career, but the lessons his father taught him about caring for family already puts him at the top of his class in life.
