Heartwarming Viral: Chinese Border Police Moved to Tears by Mother's Surprise Dumplings

On February 17th, a viral story emerged online about a Chinese police officer who was unable to return home during the Chinese New Year. Yang Rui, a Superintendent First Class police officer stationed at the China-Myanmar border for over 15 years, was deeply moved when colleagues surprised him with dumplings made by his mother. As soon as he tasted the dumplings, Yang burst into tears, saying, 'These taste exactly like my mother's... this is definitely my mother's cooking.' His colleagues revealed that the dumplings were indeed made by his mother, who couldn't travel due to family obligations but had recorded a video message of support. The surprise didn't end there. His wife and daughter also traveled over 4 hours by plane and car to deliver food to his police station, waiting to meet him. Despite motion sickness, his wife immediately prepared additional food for him upon arrival. The viral story reflects the sacrifices of officials working far from their families and the unbreakable connection of 'home's taste' regardless of distance.
