A book recounting the stories of Hong Zhanhui, whose bravery has
touched countless hearts in China, will be published next week.
The book, "Chinese Boy Hong Zhanhui," will include articles
written by Hong himself, photos of him and his family, remarks by
classmates and teachers, media reports and comments, and even part
of his diary, according to Hunan People's Publishing House.
Hong, a 23-year-old student in Huaihua College of Hunan
Province, has touched countless hearts in China with his story of
raising an adopted sister for 12 years while looking after his
mentally ill father after his mother walked out.
Twenty thousand copies have already been ordered by bookstores
across the nation, and the publishing house is planning another two
books, "Diary of Hong Zhanhui" and "Stories of Hong Zhanhui."
