children are innocent; whatever language, whatever nationality. it pleases me to see some laughter, some smile despite their hardships...

The China is not communist nor capitalist it is slavery. The parents make much higher values than what they get paid. For the hard work of 12 hours 7 days a week or even more they are not able to effort decent living.

Why does not the state care for its people if it states to be communist. What is communist in china except the dictature?

Gosh ,i feel so lucky to be able around my children everyday, it is so sad when you have to part away from family ,specially with kids have to part away from their parent.

POOR GIRL CRIES, IF THAT GIRL WERE A BOY, AND THE MOM WOULD NOT TREATED KID LIKE THAT. THEY LOVE BOYS MORE THAN GIRLS IN CHINA IN GENERAL.

God bless these teachers! :)

The presentation appears just a bit slanted, especially the first part; however, the presence of clean classrooms, clothes that look like they fit, teachers, food, and shelter does not lessen the impact of parentlessness to these children. I'm encouraged that they (at least the ones presented) are schooled; however, I still do not understand why they can't follow their working parents.

@MarcellusTheGreen

1.They parents' working in city either may be on 24 hour shifts, or abnormal working hours.

2. Living condition (safety, security and sanitation) for their parent in city are bad

3. Parents can't afford the school tuition in city

4. There isn't much room left for they, and city schools are already over crowded

5. Parents are moving to different place quickly to different place for job, they may lost job quickly

I love these kids! Sure, they are poor and lacks their parents' attention, but you can feel the Chinese soul in them. We might lack money and material wealth as a nation now, but at least, our children has not lost their souls.

LOL at 1.10-1.20 is like dont fucking call me unless there is a problem

[aznlalaland]

@bildoz Yeah, that mom was a bitch... Despite her attitude, however, at least she's working to support her daughter.

[hiddenshadow118]

so sad!;( i wish i could adopt these kids and bring them up in a better life;(

[MissKristineX3]

While i feel for the children, it bothers me how the poor grandparents are cast aside like terrible up-bringers. They try their best to provide the children with a stable environment and food and shelter. There should be at least some love and recognition in that, right?

@MissKristineX3 : in addition, i feel so annoyed and sad by how the couples affected by the 1child rule spoil their kids and so much is spent on them... they should adopt one =\ or something

[photophetish]

@MissKristineX3 I think that's true, the grandparents are trying their best. Sometimes though the grandparents might not be trying their best. It is a possibility; they might resent the fact the parents left. It can go both ways.

I really enjoyed watching this documentary. It really makes me think about how lucky I am. I can't believe how brave this kids are =[ I hope their parents come back.

Excellent video - it's so difficult to imagine how hard this life is for the students, particularly the girl who phones her mother, and the mother scolds her. I wish I could send love to each of them.

[clostsin]

@ichigatsujohn the mother scolds only because phone call cost money in china and for those who have to leave to find work every cent counts. Its hard to imagine what life is like for these people who struggle not to live better but just to get on with daily lives.
