It is not easy to enter the hearts of left behind children and gain their trust. Lu Jie recalled that when they first met, more than 10 children in Luwu Village dared not speak due to a lack of security, and some even hid under the table. Regular home visits, school visits, weekend tutoring, and volunteer activities... Lu Jie devoted herself wholeheartedly and provided emotional comfort to the children, earning their trust. The seed of love, deeply buried in the heart, now takes root and sprouts, bringing infinite surprises and warmth.
"Nothing can compare to the gaze my father gave me." "That hug and that sentence have always given me strength." Once, a left behind child's essay "I Love That Gift Too Much" showed people lonely souls longing for companionship. Lu Jie said, "I used to be a left behind child, so I can understand them very well.". Accompanying left behind children and filling gaps in family relationships is precisely the responsibility of "child companion mothers". At the same time, Lu Jie's story also inspires us: caring for the delicate and sensitive spiritual world of left behind children, giving them a warm harbor, and giving them a beautiful childhood is a common responsibility of the whole society.
Caring for left behind children reflects a warm humanistic care and is a conscientious and social project. Left behind children are not a vague group, but countless living individuals. We have launched various care policies that also touch every specific child, providing them with spiritual care, spiritual comfort, and growth protection. The Opinion on Strengthening the Care and Protection of Left behind Children in Rural Areas clearly proposes to "improve the care and service system for left behind children in rural areas", and to weave a "care network" from the perspectives of families, governments, schools, and social forces; The Opinion on Further Improving the Care and Service System for Left behind Children and Children in Difficulties in Rural Areas proposes to strengthen the construction of grassroots children's work teams and establish "child directors" at the village level. At present, there are 667000 "child directors" in China, basically achieving full village coverage. They are the closest people outside of their families and schools to their children, and they are also a crucial part of the "last mile" of care services for left behind children.
In reality, some left behind children urgently need material assistance, while others call for psychological counseling; There is a need for safety education and a demand for rights protection.
