    Sorry, but I can’t just believe every extraordinary claim that I see on social media, so I had to double-check it. In this case it seems to be true (although not his father but a “village strongman”) and happened in Vietnam: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/kids-cross-river-in-plastic-bag-school-video_n_5002877 https://vov.vn/tin-24h/chui-tui-nilon-vuot-suoi-lu-den-truong-nguoi-trong-cuoc-noi-gi-809014.vov Although quite old, so not sure if it’s still happening.

      Imagine being a village strongman. Sounds awesome and annoying at the same time.

        ‘Hey Strongman, a banyan tree fell on my grandma again. Haha. If you don’t mind’

        ‘It’s ok. Hrrrrrhhhhhh’

        As a tall person, I kind of understand the experience. Whenever I put my mighty powers of slightly longer torso to the benefit of others, I like to make sure to announce to those who have benefitted that I am a “Friend to the littles”.

        I do it already for fun and sport. Do I get pay and/or elevated status?

          People will totally be grateful to you! It’s like being a firefighter light: you get to help people, it’s impressive, and it’s kind of a hassle a lot of the time. I was going to say it’s a lot safer, but given the picture, I don’t know if that’s a given

        I’m the only man in my family under the age of 60. It’s my job to lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk.
