Left Behind: Young Children on Their Own in China

WSJ’s Andrew Browne reports

1/16/2014 10:30PM

In some of China’s poorest regions, millions of adults have fled their villages in search of work, leaving behind young children who must fend for themselves. WSJ’s Andrew Browne reports.

Watch BBC Video: China’s ‘left behind’ children

This is the story of a girl who lives in Anhui province where NCLS Support Education team will go next Spring.  She has not seen her migrant worker parents for eight years (yes, it is years, not months), but is determined to study hard, pass college entrance exam and go to college, buy a big house for her parents and transform her village to a city where parents can find jobs so there will be no more ‘left behind’ children growing up without parents.

She has competed in a speech contest. I guarantee that you will be amazed and moved by her beauty, grace, intelligence, idealism and resilience.

BBC News: China’s ‘left behind’ children: 1 October 2012,

For many people in China, the mid-autumn festival and National Day holiday, falling within days of each other this year, means a week off work and a chance to spend time with friends and family.

But for millions of China’s migrant workers, this is a working week like any other.

Many of them have young children back in their villages and do not see them for months or even years on end.

One Beijing organization, the All China Women’s Federation, estimates there are some 58m of these “left behind children”.

This is the story of just one girl, Tang Xiaoqian from Anhui province in central China.

从中国来的支教反馈信息

从中国来的支教反馈信息
(牛顿中文学校支教工作小组, 周津平执笔)
伴随着新年的钟声和春节的欢庆,牛顿中文学校的支教活动也已经进入了第六个年头的募捐及筹集活动的繁忙阶段。 此时, 支教小组欣然闻知,我们赞助的中国贫困学生不仅如愿完成高中学业, 有许多孩子还顺利的考上了大学, 踏上了丰富人生经历为社会做出贡献的新的人生旅程。
过去五年中,牛顿中文学校先后支持了中国四川大桥中学,江西昌江一中和云南永胜中学三个学校近百名贫困学生。 对于这些受赞助的学生来说,我们给予的资助数额虽小,却是足以改变他们整个人生的巨大能源。我们带给每个受赞助的贫困学生不仅是学费,更多的是牛顿中文学校全体师生以及广大在美华人对他们的关注和爱心,让他们感受到的是温暖和希望。因为如果没有这些支持,他们许多人就会因贫困而不能完成高中学业,更谈不上追求高等教育的梦想。对于在美国的华人孩子来讲,上大学就算不是天经地义,也几乎是自然而然的人生道路。更多的家庭只是在为孩子上什么大学,怎么上更好的大学而操心。可是,对于支教活动赞助的中国学生的家庭来讲,因为贫穷,支付不起仅几百元学费而使孩子缀学放弃高中学业却是难以避免的严酷现实。牛顿中文学校的支持就是给予这些孩子们一丝阳光,一个机会,一分希望,一度梦想。
我们看到这些从中国反馈来的信息,心中无比的激动和高兴。这份硕果属于牛顿中文学校全体家长,老师, 同学,校行政和董事会。
在此,我们再次感谢所有支持牛顿中文学校支教活动的有爱心的人。让我们在已经取得的成绩之上,把支教计划做得更出色。
