On the afternoon of December 22, at Qianlingshan Park in Guiyang, a foreign couple briefly left their twin babies—appearing to be under six months old—in the care of a park security guard while they rode the cable car. Bystanders gathered to soothe the infants, and when one cried continuously, a female tourist was asked to help change a soiled diaper. The parents soon returned and expressed gratitude. The guard, Chen Daying, said she kept watch for over an hour. The episode drew praise online for kindness but also debate over the wisdom of leaving very young children with strangers, even in a safe setting.
