India, May 25 -- Millions across China have been profoundly touched by a graduation photo taken by students from a school in Sichuan province. Instead of celebrating their final day of junior secondary school in the usual way, they chose to come together to support their classmate, who was critically ill in hospital. As reported by the South China Morning Post, on May 17, more than 50 students, along with their teachers, walked over two kilometres from their school to the Yilong People's Hospital. There, they gathered to take what many have called "the most special graduation photo in the world" with their 15-year-old classmate, Ren Junjie.
