a 4-year-old boy cleans the streets for his mother
An article which is about a 4-year-old boy in Sichuan cleans the streets for his mother spreads widely in the internet.Many netzens doubt its reality,so the journalist of Huaxi newspaper begins to investigate.
The article is in consisted of 6 pictures and some passages.In the pictures,the boy wears a red jacket and black trousers,and his cloths is kind of dirty.Some people get moved,but at the same time,they question,is the boy just playing?how can a 4-year-old boy be able to clean the streets for his mother?
The one who posts the article on the forum names Leijun,whose hometown is Rixin town,now working in Beijin.He says:"At first,I think the boy is playing."At 6 PM, 27th January,Lei went back to Rixin Town with his friends,and found the boy .One of his friends told him,that the boy is very famous in the town,for he helps his mother to clean the streets more than 6 months.Lei was touched,and could't help himself capturing it wich his camera.
It was dark at 7 PM,in the middle of the street,the boy was cleaning.He was so small,that he could not control the broom good.Seeing somebody taking pictures of himself,the boy droped his broom and ran to the oppsite of the road.There was another boy cleaning the streests.He is his brother.
Their Mother was getting the rubbish into the rubbish can. In the light of the shops,they collected the rubbish into bags.After they finished,mum went back with her two sons by her side.
They are poor and have nothing good to eat.The Father is working out of the town,only comes back once a year.When the journalist asked the two boys,why they clean the streets with their mum.They boy was very shy and did not say anything.But his elder brother answered the question, their mum could not finish two streets on day if they did not help.
The owner of a bakery says,the kids behave well and insist to help their mother,what is more ,they did it well.The boys have develped a good habit,they will pick up the rubbish on the street when they see it.
The major of the town says,he is trying to help the family.Lucky for them, from next month,they will receive financial support of 140 per month from the government.
I think,the boys are nice to be helps,but their study is the priority.Their work are not supposed to be in their way of studying.I hope they can change their lifes with their knowledge.Let's wish them good luck!

Good writing. I was touched.. :'(
There's also a boy like that in Indonesia and his family's condition is worse. His name is Muhammad Aditya. He's the only child, his mother is paralyzed and his father is working out of the town. He has to cope with this condition since he was 1 y.o. He takes care of his mom, cleans clothes, cooks, etc all by himself. He doesn't have much time to play with his friends.
They're so poor. His parents don't afford to send him to school. Because of this, although he's 5 y.o now, he still can't recognize letters. Even so, he admitted he doesn't feel inferior and often asks his friends to teach him.
I can't hold my tears when he was asked what his dream is; he said with his innocent face "I want to go to school". I hope I can help him.. :'(
