在中国。有多少这样的孩子？
How many kids like this are there in China?
I captured this picture in my grandma’s new house. Dad’s fixing up there.
The kid is the worker’s son whose is fixing up the floors in the house.
These workers in China have a special name “Migrant worker”. That is, with their agricultural citizenship, they cannot be treated as city citizens do.
They spend all their time working and working to earn money for their living, but in fact they do not have a big budget on essentials, what are their main outcomes are the education fee for their children. Fortunately, the government has remitted these fees, their children can get a free 9-year education.
Sounds good?
Nope. the government can only give them a free 9-year education up to junior high. what about their senior high? their college? what can they get if they just finish their junior high? nothing, just following their parents’ way. In fact the kid above relatively has a better family income, there are still many Migrant worker families having problem affording foods. there are still big bosses refusing to pay them salaries when they finish their work.
what a terrible situation my homeland is having. perhaps things are getting better but who knows?
what i can do is just praying, that hope these children could have a good childhood and become successful when they grow up.
