Tens of millions of parents in China have left their hometown, mountainous areas and big cities to make a living and earn more money to improve their own or their children's quality of life.
As a result, companionship has become an extremely extravagant thing, whether for parents or children.
Another point that cannot be ignored is that in many rural areas of China, even if parents don't go out to work, adults who work at home don't have much time to spend with their children.
Some of them really can't spare extra time because of heavy farm work; Others regard "companionship" as a "nanny", just living together, and will not take the initiative to really participate in the upbringing of children, or even have no discipline.
Slowly, unruly children get used to loneliness, and adults get used to having nothing to say.
Dashan Li, a junior high school student in Lianshui, Yunnan, is in grade three, and most of the children of 8 1 1 grow up secretly where their parents can't see them.
The children here are very quiet. Even if their parents go out to work, they won't cry or make trouble.
Xiaosuo, 12 years old, male. He is the youngest in the class and doesn't talk much. His best friend is the calf at home.
Junior high school is in town. Because the mountain road is far away, Xiaosuo can only choose to live on campus. Some of his classmates live on the opposite hill.
His parents asked him if he wanted to buy a mobile phone. He said it doesn't matter whether you want a mobile phone or not. It's unnecessary. It's of little use.
Xiaoyun, 12 years old, a girl, a classmate of Xiaosuo, lived alone for two years, buying food, cooking and washing dishes all by herself.
Two years ago, her father died in a car accident, leaving only mother and daughter. My sister is in college and attending a free normal school. My mother went to Guangdong to work and didn't come home for the New Year.
In the stereotype of the public, rural children are playful, naughty, noisy and giggle all day, but in fact, many children have no one to talk to.
Teenagers, when their minds are getting crazy, swallow all their emotions and don't tell them. How did they do it?
In China, the fate of many children is related to the college entrance examination.
There is usually such a requirement for Chinese composition questions in college entrance examination: "Style is not limited, except poetry."
However, Lianshui Middle School, a rural school, takes poetry as a compulsory course.
Learning poetry is not helpful to teaching, and there is no extra point in the exam. So, what is the significance of poetry class?
The first poetry lesson in life, children go outdoors to see, listen, smell, touch and think.
Write down the first poem in life—
Of course, some children can't write anything, such as 12-year-old lock.
After the first poetry class, Xiao Suo seems to have little change. He still talks less, lives in a humble house halfway up the mountain, walks a long mountain road, and prefers to stay with his calf.
However, because of poetry, a seed sprouted secretly in his heart, and he saw more.
Because of poetry, other children and adults in the mountains and people outside the mountains have the opportunity to see the flash of this group of children.
On an ordinary night, my parents were not by my side as usual. Kang Yu, the founder of the charity "Shi Guang Poetry", gathered a group of children and talked about such a topic: What kind of father or mother will you be in ten years?
Children write it down, read it out in turn and share it with you.
Xiao Yun wrote:
Because, she thinks, her mother left too much love to her sister who is in college.
After that day, she got up the courage and told her mother what she thought. The distance between mother and daughter is a little closer
"In fact, poetry can't change anything. You can't move your family from the mountains to the town, and you can't let your parents accompany your children.
Poetry is more like a translator. Children can express their emotions and feelings through poetry, so that outsiders can see these children shining. "Kang Yu said.
The children said:
I think, poetry is like a trash can, sad and sad … all emotions can be written into poetry.
Like a bridge, it can take me to many places I can't see.
Like a tree, like a letter ...
Just like everything.
It's true that college students don't study poetry, but children who have studied poetry won't break the glass.
Poetry cannot change a person's fate, but it can.
