June 1 day is Children's Day, which is celebrated all over the world. I wonder if children in the war-torn Middle East can smell the fragrance of holiday flowers? I wonder if African refugee children who are hungry and cold can taste delicious cream cakes? I don't know if the orphans and abandoned girls begging in the street will get a new dress to keep out the cold ... but I know that not all the 300 million children in China are happy angels. When some children are holding Barbie dolls, eating KFC, playing games with their parents, visiting parks and enjoying festivals, how many inexperienced children are suffering from the hardships of life and the vicissitudes of the world.
At present, the problem of left-behind children in rural areas has become the focus of social attention. A large number of rural women who are unwilling to be poor have entered the city with dreams and longings, leaving behind their children and cutting off family ties. According to the survey of the All-China Women's Federation, there are currently 20 million left-behind children in rural areas, accounting for more than 20% of the total number of local children, and 60% of migrant women have left their children in rural areas. What a shocking number!
Left-behind children in rural areas have been separated from their parents for a long time, and they are not taken care of in life and feelings, leading a miserable life without food and clothing. These children who have lives and no one to raise them, like immature weeds, grow up lonely and indifferent in the emotional desert without sunshine and rain all day long. Who is brewing this ruthless and family-oriented social leak? Some people say that the acceleration of industrialization and urbanization in China and the rapid transfer of rural labor force are inevitable, but in my opinion, it is the devil of interest who directed the tragedy of separation of flesh and blood, and it is the cruel existence reality that eroded the maternal extinction of these rural women who protect calves and lick babies!
I remember the old man who rewrote the history of China once said earnestly: "The construction speed would rather be slower, but we should also do a good job in education." . However, when our economic construction train is accelerating, it just leaves education far behind. I once said in the article "Education is a hungry tiger, housing is a wolf, and I died when I was seriously ill": Education in China is a hungry tiger with a smile, cruel and naked! The heavy burden of education makes countless poor families who are short of money worry about their inability to raise their children.
According to relevant data, there are about 654.38+0.8 billion students in compulsory education in China, including 27 million out-of-school children. If we add the children of migrant workers, extra-born children and statistical errors, it is conservatively estimated that there are about 50 million out-of-school children, accounting for 27.78% of the total number of students who should receive compulsory education. Among more than 2,000 counties in China, the per capita annual net income of farmers in 679 counties is less than that in 300 yuan, and they are completely struggling to maintain the basic survival. Although tuition and miscellaneous fees in compulsory education have been reduced or exempted, all kinds of hidden expenses under various excuses are still unaffordable for these families. Going to school is a distant dream for the children of these poor families. They don't have enough food and clothes.
Everyone has a childhood, some people are as sweet as glucoside, and some people are as bitter as coptis. How many children from poor families have fallen into the quagmire of life prematurely because of life. In those underground coal mines, teenage child laborers dragged heavy baskets with immature shoulders, hunched like slaves in Africa and crawled hard; In hair salons and karaoke bars all over urban and rural areas, Ni Qiang, a minor Xiangniu village, smiles, gets involved in self-pollution, sells his youth cheaply and overdraws his life in the hustle and bustle; In the streets of the city, many children who drop out of school follow their laid-off and unemployed parents to set up stalls, sell breakfast and fruit, and endure the hardships of life in poverty; At school and at home, our children are under great physical and mental pressure to save energy for tomorrow, reading in the morning and reading at night, hot and cold summer, sweat and tears intertwined …
What is a dream childhood? Childhood is innocent and romantic, childlike innocence, blue sky and white clouds, birds and flowers, bright smiles and crisp singing. However, today's children's young minds are cast a shadow of the cold world and have suffered endless survival. In this happy day for children in the world, think about the suffering children who are forced by life to drop out of school to work, look at the helpless eyes of those children who are eager to learn, and listen to the sad cries of those left-behind children who are hungry and cold. Isn't it shameful for every conscientious China person to ask himself?
Therefore, I want to shout loudly: For tomorrow, for the future, please give love to the crying children in the festival!
