The Orphans of Liangshan 2

In privious blog, i have mentioned the the orphans of Liangshan, now, i will give more their real situaion.

Rizha: 13-year-old, her father addicted to drugs and died three years ago, latter, her mother remarried to another village, according to custom of village, her mother can not take her children when she remarried. So, Rizha and her 2 younger brother become the orphants.

Her oldest brother is now a second grade boarding school pupil and goes back home during long vacations. The youngest brother is age six but looks like a three year old. He usually follows Rizha to the field, or walks silently from one end of the village to the other, his head bowed and his eyes avoiding contact with strangers.

Rizha feels that without parental love and care since the age of one hasn’t affected him, because "He is still too young to know about what heart-break is".

Rizha gave up further study after graduation from primary school and stayed home to take care of her brothers, cook food, clean the house, grow crops, feed pigs, and chop firewood – like the “mother” of the family. But, she is only 13 yeard old.
