It's misfortune for the family, but also shows depression of the society.

The author felt lost.

The author was touched to cry. His father tried so hard to climb up onto the railway platform only for some oranges for his son to eat on the way.

The highlight and most important sentence of this prose. This are words from his father, saying that he was going to buy some oranges and let the author stay there waiting for him. Then comes the action description from the sight of the author. This seems to be a very normal thing with normal words but this part shows the great emotion change and attitude towards his father.
