Mother feeding

"My husband has a construction job in Beijing but has earned nothing for the whole year but debt to the Contractor for his accommodation and meals. He has not a single penny to make a call to me. He has fallen ill and needs money to start his way home. I have no money, either...."

The poor rural mothers in scholar 's eyes: In the Chinese rural area, there is a special group of people - mothers in poverty. Many of them live in extreme poverty, don't have enough food, and can't receive any social welfare, such as essential education and health care. A large number of them are illiterate and poor in health. More than half of them are suffering from women's diseases, according to the official Chinese report. For their children and family, they endure all these pains and are suffering all the economic difficulties and hard labor.
