Feb 2- Once in a while, we would come across a story that touches your heart. This one is by far one of the hardest one take in my view. Ah Long, a six year old boy in China is an orphan and his parents left something for him before they passed on, which is HIV. Just for this reason, he's been treated as an outcast and is forced to fend for himself all alone. He cooks, washes his clothes, raises some livestock and does things pretty much like an adult. The government doesn't gives shit about him, grandmother comes once in a while to deliver goods but doesn't want to keep him at her home, and the schools would not allow a child with HIV to have a proper education. That's for the better i guess because all schools treat children like lab rats.
I'll end this post by asking you whose reading this....What were you doing when you were 6?
Ah Long lives alone at his home, as you can see from the picture above not a fancy one. Yet he never complains, and continues to see out the remainder of his life which is sadly would be cut short. This just rips my heart. You could never find a character like this in a 6 year old, when kids these days complain for the smallest of things here's Ah Long playing with a tarnished bike. The only bright side in life is his only companion Lao Hei, which is his pet dog. Another reason why dogs would never judge who you are and what is your background.
