At age 7, a Chinese village girl called Yi Miaomiao now shoulders the responsibility of caring for both her aged and sickly grandparents. Following her father’s death in a car crash last year, she decided to stay at home when her mother offered to take her along on her exodus to another province.
Yi Miaomiao’s grandparents, in their 60s, are both affected with medical conditions that prevent them from being able to look after their granddaughter. In addition to attending school, Miaomiao has to do virtually all the housework.
