On October 16, 2024, in Changyuan City, Henan Province, a man has been working as a security guard at the school where his grandson has been studying for the past 8 years in order to protect him. The news about this heartwarming story went viral on Weibo on October 15, attracting a lot of attention.
A video titled “Where Grandson Goes to School, Grandpa Works as Security Guard” has been circulating online recently. The video shows the grandfather in security guard uniform greeting his grandson at the school gate, with the grandson voluntarily handing over his mobile phone and the grandfather giving him pocket money.
According to a report by the Nine Realms News, the person who filmed the video, Ms. Yang, shared that her father, who is 65 years old, has been working as a security guard at his grandson’s school since the grandson started primary school. For the past seven to eight years, the grandfather has been wearing his security guard uniform every day and using a three-wheeled bike to pick up and drop off his grandson to school.
Ms. Yang mentioned that her father earns a monthly salary of over 1,000 RMB as a security guard at the school. After work, he also works as a three-wheeled bike taxi driver to earn extra money, most of which is spent on himself and his grandson. As all the other nephews and nieces live elsewhere, this particular grandson who stays with her father receives special love and care from him.
In a casual conversation, the nephew once asked, “What if I get into Peking University?” Ms. Yang’s father replied, “If you really manage to get into Peking University, then I will do everything to move to Beijing.”
Ms. Yang expressed her heartfelt admiration, saying, “The love my father shows towards children is truly meticulous and thorough.”
The video has sparked discussions online. Some expressed concerns, saying, “It feels like a bit of excessive control.” “Too painful.”
However, some netizens believe that in today’s unsafe society where accidents happen frequently, the grandfather, in his own way, has built a strong wall to protect his grandson, safeguarding his childhood and accompanying him towards the future every step of the way. This warm guardianship will become a treasure in the grandson’s heart forever, inspiring him to move bravely forward in life. “Grandpa, in his own way, has created a safe sky for his grandson. In the corner of the campus, the image of the grandfather has become the warmest presence. This unique affection is truly touching.” “My previous boss, her close friend, wherever the daughter goes to school, she arranges to work as a teacher there, in elementary, middle, and high school.”
