Question

Fu Yuan has been left at home since he was one month old. His parents left to work in Fujian. For the past eight years, Fu has only seen his parents three times although they sent home 500 yuan every two or three months.

Fu Xiaoyu, 16, has to live alone since her grandmother died three years ago. Her parents didn′t want to give up their jobs in Guangdong. Also they couldn′t afford the cost of sending her to a school in the city where they work.

These are just two of the 29 kids interviewed last summer in a village in Sichuan Province.

In the poor village, 582 adults have left to look for work, leaving 156 children without parents. Among these kids, 88 percent of them live with their grandparents, five percent live with their uncles or aunts and seven percent have to live on their own.

To our surprise, 80 percent of the children say they love going to school, even though some children have to walk along the mountain roads for two hours to get to school However, for these children, studying is not their main thing. Doing housework and taking care of younger sisters or brothers take up most of their time.
