Zu Wenbao, 23, who has autism spectrum disorder, sings with the band My World, which is mostly made up of children aged around ten years old, during a practice session, at the music studio of 38-year-old teacher Chen Shensi, Beijing, China August 21, 2022. “The village youngsters all go to work or school, so without music and the band, he wouldn’t have any peers to socialise with,” Zu’s mother, Zhao Guorong, said. “Even though the kids taking music classes are younger than him and half his size, they all take care of him like he’s their brother.” REUTERS/Tingshu Wang
