A man surnamed Ma in Shaanxi Province faces attempted murder charges after he dumped his disabled mother, surnamed Wang, in an abandoned grave and left her to die. Fed up with taking care of his 79-year-old mother, who is paralyzed, Ma loaded Wang on a wheelbarrow late on May 2 and dumped her in an abandoned grave. When asked where she went, Ma claimed he had sent Wang to visit a relative. After the family’s three-day search for Wang, Ma’s wife reported him to police. When Ma confessed, police rushed to the grave site where officers said they could hear her faintly shouting for help. Wang received treatment and has recovered from the ordeal. Ma is potentially facing charges of intentional homicide. According to family members, Wang does not blame Ma and instead fears for his future, an unconditional love that netizens said may be the very reason behind Ma’s brutality.
