Brothers and sisters are as close as hands and feet, as the saying goes.
For nine-year-old Zhou Dingshuang from China, she is literally the hands and feet for her disabled brother who has had difficulties using his limbs since birth.
The skinny girl carries her elder sibling to school every day in the rural Yunnan Province - rain or shine, snow or sleet.

The pair have to cross streets and climb up stairs to reach their classroom, but the incredibly determined girl has made sure that she and her brother are never late for any lessons - no matter how bad the weather is.
After they finish school, Dingshuang also helps her brother with his homework before doing housework for her parents.
Dingshuang has already become the backbone of her family at the tender age of nine.
According to the report, Dingshuang and Dingfu's parents are both disabled. As a result, Dingshuang does most of the housework at home, including washing vegetable, feeding pigs, cooking and hand-washing clothes for the family of four.

Dingshuang's story has touched millions of hearts in China and the school has offered help
After Dingfu reached school age, his parents worried that he couldn't walk to school. Dingshuang didn't want to see her brother being left behind, so she volunteered to carry him on her back every day.
Liu Yan, a teacher from their school, told the TV reporter that the school had arranged a dorm room for the brother and sister to live after noticing the difficult situation their family are facing.
Teacher Liu said the school had also reduced or cancelled some of the fees for the pair in order to help the less-fortunate family.
Dingshuang and Dingfu's dorm room is about 500 metres (1,640 feet) from their classroom.
Dingshuang continues to carrying Dingfu to school every day.
