The heart-melting clip unfolds from the crowd of a moving train passing through a subway somewhere in London, England. While the other commuters were busy on their own, an old man can be seen struggling to translate the newspaper he was reading. The person is known to suffer from Parkinson’s disease, a disorder of the central nervous system.
Dopamine levels decrease as a result of neuronal damage in the brain, leading to Parkinson’s symptoms. Parkinson’s disease often begins with hand tremors. Other symptoms, such as slowness of movement, stiffness and loss of balance, appear later. However, the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease can be managed with medication.
When entering the video, the person’s right hand was shaking due to the illness, causing difficulty in holding the newspaper properly. Then a younger woman sitting in the opposite seat helped him turn the page of the newspaper. One of their fellow travelers filmed the incident.
In the comment section, many users praised the woman for her act. Some of them also referred to the tragic consequences of Parkinson’s disease.
A distraught viewer commented: “With so much negativity in the video, it’s refreshing to see someone help.”
When the video shows so much negativity, it’s refreshing to see some kind of help.

A woman suffering from the same disease admitted: “I have Parkinson’s disease. It’s a hard road sometimes. You often attract unkind remarks because the symptoms can make you appear drunk or on drugs. So this is pretty amazing to see.”
