Street children’s death questions society’s bottom line (2)

(People's Daily Online)

15:18, November 23, 2012

The future of society lies in the happiness of children, both in urban and rural areas. Owing debts to the children is owing debts to the future of the nation, which is irresponsible for the country.

Who is responsible for creating space for healthy growth of children? This is a question facing society, but also a test for the governmental departments. “Respect and care about children” should become conscientious acts.

In this sense, Xi Jinping’s speech at the meeting with journalists is more thought provoking. He particularly mentioned children, saying, “People want their children to have sound growth, have good jobs and lead a more enjoyable life.” Will we feel like sitting on pins and needles thinking of the street boys and students packed in old and shabby school buses?

We should never allow children be hurt, no matter how heavy the burdens are, how complex the contradictions are. This is the bottom line of this society.
