Left Behind Children

Posted on 28 December 2011.

"Today I heard a programme mentioning that the decline of children's academic performance is caused by family problems. I think of many problems that arise when children are left behind in our country. I remember an interview in which a left-behind child said his parents had gone to work in other places and he was afraid of being abandoned by his parents. The child added that he was scared while he was sleeping at night. So he cried under his quilt alone. This case really makes me feel sick, especially as I myself have become a parent recently. I understand that a child needs to be connected closely with his parents very much. That is also my personal experience. Please pray for those who need mercy, both physically and psychologically in our country."

It would be hard to speak of highs and lows, because each part was so different, so special, so interesting - from the farm project to the children's work, to the language school, to the university work. It was all so fascinating and challenging. Thank you, Lord, and thank you AM-CCSM for the adventure."

"Today's China is a bullet-train racing through a thunderstorm - and we are all passengers on board," wrote one Chinese blogger, following last year's major train crash. The blogger was describing the breakneck speed at which China is developing economically.
