Chinese Premier(总理) Li Keqiang has visited the “left-behind” (留守) children whose parents are working in cities before Children’s Day.
During a visit to northwest China’s Shanxi Province, Li visited the home of Yang Saike, a primary school boy in a village of Xingping City.
Yang, whose parents were working in Fujian, thousands of kilometers away, was cared for by his grandparents. His parents fail to go home even once a year.

“You are so pretty,” Li said to Liu Mengqi, a seven-year-old girl living with her grandmother. Liu’s parents were also working in the city.
“Have you been to school yet?” Li asked two other girls.
“We are going to the pre-school class,” said one.
“Mom and dad at home?” Li asked. The children shook their heads.
“Children cannot see their parents very often, which is a new problem in the countryside. We should give them more care and love,” said the premier.

When spring comes, some wildflowe come out in the ditches(沟渠) along the highway where I travel daily to work., I’ve noticed one special blue flower. It blooms(开花) only in the morning hours. For the afternoon sun is too hot for it. Every day for nearly two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers.
