Dad's 71-day trek to see son in prison

A 72-year-old Chinese man walked more than 600 miles to visit his son in prison.

The man walked for 71 days from his hometown at Taihe town, Anhui province, to the prison at Lianping town, Guangdong province.

The pensioner, whose name was not disclosed by the Southern Daily, had planned to take the train but had his savings stolen shortly after leaving home.

The father, who walks with a stick, says he begged all the way, and sometimes ate rotten food from bins during his two month journey.

"I didn't see him for two years. I am here to visit him and tell him not to worry about me and transform himself for good, while in prison," he said.

Prison wardens were so touched by his story that they even bent the rules to allow him to see his son.

"We usually need the visitor to show us his ID card, but his was stolen along with the money," said warden Liu Guanghui.

The son, Xie Fei, revealed that his father is actually is his adoptive father, as his real parents died when he was ten.

"He adopted me and loves me very much, but I have nothing to repay all this," said Xie.

His father made the return journey home in much less time - after wardens clubbed together to buy him a train ticket.
