“Mum，I hate you. I don’t need a new schoolbag or clothes. I’m not afraid
of being hit by you. I only w ant you to come back.”
When Chen Jiuying read her daughter’s letter，she couldn’t help crying.
Chen and her husband are now working far away from their hometown, so Xiao Li’s grandparents ar e looking after her. Like Chen， many migrant workers(外来务工
人员) are dreaming about a better life， so they have to leave their children
behind.
According to a survey，there are now about 61 million left-behind children(留
守儿童) in poor in China. This has brought about many problems. These children
care little about others. They do not do well at school. They lost confidence.
Luckily many Chinese are now thinking about the life of the left-behind
children and actions have been taken to help solve the problem.
A charity took place in Beijing before Children’s Day. Its purpose was to
raise social awareness (意识) of left-behind children. The event was held to rai se
money from businesses and the public to prepare “love bags”. Inside the bags，
these are things for children including books，envelopes and stamps so that
children can write to their parents.
The event was started by Chen Weihong，a television host in Chi na.“The
left-behind children don’t have enough parental love and family care. They need
to be in touch with their parents. We hope our love bags will help them communicate
with their parents，and make them happier,”he said.
