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."
