Kid abandoned by family in a kindergarten for 3 years
When other nine-year-old children lead a care-free life; this boy in China longs for his family, the family who abandoned him in his kindergarten three years ago.
The boy, Xiao Xia, has made the kindergarten in Changchun, north China's Jilin province, his home after his family left him there in 2013.
The boy says his wish for this Chinese Lunar New Year is to see his parents again, the People's Daily Online reports.
According to the owners of the kindergarten, the boy's parents are divorced. After his father remarried, he was left in the care of his grandparents.
The boy had been attending kindergarten at the age of six and his grandfather took him every day.
However after one month's fees ran out, the boy's grandfather left him at the school gates one day three years ago and never returned.
Xiao Xia reportedly lives in the kindergarten and sleeps on a bed made of sheets and duvets in the school's cloakroom after the other children go home.
According to Chinese media, the principal of the kindergarten managed to contact the grandfather. However the grandfather said that he has no money and no way of raising the boy.
The principal says he told the grandfather that Xiao Xia needs to attend primary school.
Speaking with reporters in China, the boy says he doesn’t remember how his parents look like. When asked what he liked doing, the boy replied: 'I like to learn'.
The principal has since tried to contact the boy's grandfather, but he doesn't pick up the phone and has said to have moved out of the house where the boy remembers living with him.
