On July 30, 2023, a touching scene unfolded in Zhengzhou, Henan, central China, when a young girl fell deeply asleep on a bus traveling to her ballet performance at a local television station.

The exhaustion from her trip was evident as her teacher had to carry her from the bus because she could not be woken up and her eyes firmly shut.
