More and more parents leave their homes and come into the big cities to make money. But their children can’t go with them because their children have to go to school in their hometown. They are called home-left children留守儿童. The problems of home-left children become more and more serious. And it becomes a big burden of our society. The main problem is that some home-left children become very lonely when they don’t have their parents’ love. And they are too young to tell right or wrong in many things. So they are fooled very easily by others.
Xiao Mei , a 14-year-old girl, is a home-left child. Her parents are both in Shanghai. She is in her hometown with her grandpa. She likes playing games on the Internet. Her parents and grandpa only give her money and food. They hardly ever care for her studies. One day, she had no money to pay for the games in the Net bar网吧. So she stole some money from her neighbor. Just at that time, Xiao Fang, a 9-year-old girl saw it. Xiao Mei was afraid that Xiao Fang would tell others about it. She cut Xiao Fang’s throat with a knife, and then she went to school just like nothing happened. Luckily, Xiao Fang was saves by doctors. When she opened her eyes and wrote the fact to the policeman with a pencil, everybody was very surprised. This sad story reminds the parents to care for their children no matter how busy they are.
Are you one of the home-left children? What do you need from your parents? Food, money or love? I think most children need love mostly. Let’s care for the group together.
