00:00This boy shoved a grasshopper into a mailbox and laughed loudly, then slammed the lid shut.
00:04The grasshopper died instantly, but the next second, tears welled up in the boy's eyes.
00:08He realized he had ended a small life.
00:09His mind was like that of a three-year-old child.
00:12Doctors said he probably wouldn't live past ten, but he had an older brother who deeply loved him.
00:16His brother bathed him every day and tucked him in every night.
00:18Even when playing hide-and-seek, his favorite game, his brother would always cooperate,
00:22pretending to be scared when the boy suddenly jumped out, making him laugh.
00:25One day, his brother was busy with work and left the boy alone in the shop,
00:28but the boy snuck away.
00:30Before long, he climbed to the top of a water tower.
00:32The whole town gathered to watch.
00:34Police shouted for him to come down, but he climbed even higher.
00:36Then his brother began singing his favorite song.
00:38The familiar melody calmed the boy's heart, and he slowly climbed down.
00:41He wanted to sing with his brother.
00:43Faced with the police's angry scolding, his brother never complained,
00:46only looked at him with patient and caring eyes.
00:48To train his younger brother, the older brother tried letting him bathe alone.
00:54Thinking everything was fine, he went to see his girlfriend.
00:56But the next morning, when he woke up to wash his face, a terrifying thought flashed through his mind.
01:01The boy had been sitting in the bathtub all night and was shaking from the cold.
01:04The brother quickly wrapped him in a towel.
01:05The boy complained to their mother about it.
01:07Although his brother kept apologizing, the boy refused to forgive him.
01:10After some time, the boy went missing again.
01:12His brother searched everywhere for him.
01:13But the boy had climbed to the very top of another water tower.
01:16With police assistance, he was safely brought down,
01:18but he had a proud smile on his face, as if he'd accomplished something remarkable.
01:21His brother pleaded with the police again,
01:23But this time, the officer pushed him aside and took the boy directly to the police station.
01:27Learning of this, his mother decided to go to the station herself.
01:29It was the first time she'd left home in years.
01:32Standing at the police station, she said firmly,
01:33The police finally had no choice but to release him.
01:38When they got home, the boy was filthy.
01:40His brother wanted to bathe him, but the boy struggled desperately and pulled his hair.
01:43His brother finally couldn't take it anymore and slapped him for the first time,
01:46knocking him to the ground.
01:47The boy was completely stunned.
01:48The next day was his birthday, and the family threw him a party.
01:51His brother sat in the car, hesitant to go inside.
01:53But after a moment of uncertainty, he got out.
01:55When the boy saw him approaching, he deliberately ran away.
01:57His brother knew the boy was playing with him.
01:59He hid in the tree as usual.
02:01When his brother called out looking for him, the boy nimbly jumped down,
02:04appeared in front of his brother, and greeted him.
02:05This time, his brother's surprise came from his heart.
02:08Finally, his brother held him tight, and the boy forgave him.
02:10But not long after, their mother's body finally gave out.
02:12She looked at her older son and said,
02:14You are a true warrior.
02:15When the boy discovered his mother, he called out to her again and again,
02:18but she never opened her eyes.
02:19To preserve his mother's final dignity, his brother set the entire house on fire.
02:23It was their way of saying goodbye to their mother and to their former life.
02:25So if you also had a little brother like this,
02:27would you still protect him with patience and love?
