A heartwarming moment captured at a train station in Fuyang, Anhui, has been making waves online. A video released by CCTV on August 27 shows a 108-year-old mother waiting for her 78-year-old daughter, and it’s a scene that truly tugs at the heartstrings.
Just imagine that for a moment—the simple yet profound act of a parent waiting for their child. It’s a joy that’s difficult to express fully. When the daughter finally sees her mother, her face lights up with a beaming smile, and despite her own age, she rushes toward her. You can almost feel the happiness radiating from her; it’s the kind of joy that feels almost tangible.
It’s no wonder this video has resonated with so many people. The comments section is filled with admiration and a touch of longing. One viewer even remarked that this moment felt like a blessing “comparable to winning a lottery of 100 million,” and it’s easy to understand why. The chance to have a parent live to such an advanced age is a rare gift, and for a 78-year-old to still have her mother waiting for her—that’s a happiness that’s hard to come by. Many also noted how vibrant and healthy the mother appeared, which only added to the beauty of this touching reunion.
One comment that stood out expressed that simply being able to call out “Mom!” and have her respond at that age is the greatest joy imaginable. Another person likened that feeling to something “far more valuable than a diamond the size of a fist,” and I wholeheartedly agree. After all, diamonds can’t give you a warm embrace.
