There are more than 61 million left-behind kids(留守儿童) in the poorest parts of China. One or both parents have worked in factories, hoping to make enough money to help the family to live a better life. They've left their kids in the hands of the other parents or grandparents in the village. The kids will feel lucky if they get to see their parents once or twice a year.

Earlier this year, the death of four left-behind children left the nation in shock. They were from age 5 to 13, in southwestern China. And it's believed that they lost their lives because they were not good at swimming.

A psychologist at the University of Southern California Oyserman wondered whether this would change if these kids could overcome such feelings by doing well in school. They should communicate more with teachers or review every day. Being left behind is such a common thing that all the kids know what it is. 

For left-behind kids, she suggests that parents should tell their kids, "Our fate is not good but we're taking steps toward the future. It's possible for even young children to understand a family working together toward a brighter future."
