CCTV high-profile propaganda netizens blame the Chinese Communist government
On April 14, CCTV, the mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party, reported the story of Zhang Pengcheng, an 80-year-old rural elementary school principal in Zhoukou, Henan Province, in a high-profile report. According to the report, Zhang Pengcheng sat on a chair for more than ten years, wore a piece of clothing for ten years, and spent his salary on the school and the children left behind. Zhang often swiped his credit card to improve the children’s food, and sometimes the credit card swiped can not be repaid.
In the CCTV video, Zhang Pengcheng choked up and said, “Children in rural areas always need someone to accompany them.
This CCTV report, which promotes positive energy, reveals the plight of children left behind in rural areas. At a time when Internet speech is fully controlled on the mainland, netizens followed the report with follow-up posts, with one netizen saying, “I read the news today to encourage the full liberalization of childbirth, and I hope that the problem of left-behind children will be solved first while encouraging births.”
Some netizens said, “Look at the heart warming, after a little chill.”
Netizens also blamed the government, “regulatory failure, to teachers themselves to get money to subsidize students, what is this?!” “The greatness of the principal cannot hide the incompetence of the authorities.”
There are also netizens slammed that the local government should give support to this kind of teaching and education place from time to time to pay attention to visit, “parents are poor, the government is poor can not be poor children, poor education, so that good teachers are scared away by the poor living conditions but do not dare not want to go to the countryside, so that children in the countryside can not go out of the mountains to lose hope, breaking the link with the era of progress! “
The public: the persistent problems of the Chinese Communist system cause children to be left behind
Mr. Wu of Jiangsu Province said in an interview with Epoch Times that the current situation of left-behind children is caused by the social system of the Chinese Communist Party. In the rural areas, there is basically no social security, and they can’t earn much money in their lifetime.
Mr. Li, a migrant worker from Hubei, told the Epoch Times that the life of children left behind is very miserable, and now if they go out to work, they try to leave a parent at home with the children, there is a trend, but places like Anhui and Jiangxi are particularly poor, and there are more children left behind.
He also worried that these left-behind children will cause character defects and other psychological problems, such as low self-esteem, autism, reluctance to communicate with others, and do not know who to tell when they are bullied.
Mr. Wu also said that people with a little conscience, we all appreciate that these left-behind children have deep psychological trauma and do not have the care of their parents around. Chinese officials do not care about the lives of the people, is to help the poor is also a show, a year issued two bags of rice and a barrel of oil, but also to take pictures to keep the evidence.
According to current affairs commentator Chen Simin, the plight of China’s left-behind children, which the mainland Chinese media cannot speak about, and the long-standing discrimination against their migrant parents, is fundamentally a result of the household registration system developed by the Chinese Communist Party, which has long divided people into urban and rural hukou, with no free movement between urban and rural hukou, as well as differences in public services, such as security, childcare benefits, education and exams, etc., due to differences in status.
According to a 2015 UNICEF report, the number of left-behind children in China is 68.77 million, including 40.51 million in rural areas, when defined as those with at least one parent working outside the home and under the age of 18. About one out of every five children is left-behind.
In 2016, the CCP changed the definition of “left-behind children” to “both parties go out to work”, and the number of children left behind in rural areas dropped to 9.02 million in 2016, and by the end of 2018, the CCP’s Ministry of Civil Affairs counted 6.97 million.
A 2017 report by the Chinese charity “On the Road to School” on the “State of the Mind of China’s Left-behind Children” shows that more than half of China’s rural left-behind children see their parents less than twice a year.
According to the 2021 Civilian Care for Left-behind Children in Rural Areas survey report, rural left-behind children are often abducted, injured in accidents, or left out of school. Due to the lack of affectionate care and proper family education, the growth and development of rural left-behind children are more likely to deviate from the normal track in terms of thinking, behavior and psychology.
