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.
The premier held Yang in his arms and looked through his exercise book and praised him for his hard work.
Li talked with many children and asked them many questions about their schooling and life.
“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.
With fast economic (经济的) development, more people in the country chose to work in cities and left their children with grandparents or relatives back home, said Li.

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.
This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard,. I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers.
Every day I drove past the flowers thinking “I’ll stop on my way home and dig them.” “See. I don’t want to get my good clothes dirty.” Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them.
One day on my way home from work. I was sad to see the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself. “You wanted too long. You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring.”
A week ago we were shocked and sad to learn that my oldest sister-in-law(夫或妻的姐妹) was badly ill. She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven’t been as close as we all would have been.
