n e r d l i h C e n o l a e m 5 Ho This is a letter sent by a village child in Gansu, China, whose parents now work in the cit y. The ruralurban migration has engulfed the country to such an extent that the phenomenon of village children being left home alone is fast becoming a norm, especially in the impoverished areas in the west. The Ministry of Agriculture estimates that only ten per cent of migrant workers bring their children along to the city: nationally, there are as many as 70 million children ‘left behind’. If these kids live with anyone, it tends to be with their grandparents, who may be conscientious about taking care of everyday tasks, but who often do not sense the children’s emotional needs. Many children feel that they have no one to talk to, heart to heart.

In a recent survey, about onequarter of the left-behind kids say they rarely have a conversation with their guardian, nine per cent have no contact with their parents, and about two-thirds talk with their parents on the telephone every once in a while, with the call often lasting for less than three minutes.
