place where Ya fei was living was extremely poor and filthy
Family
Background:
Ran Ya fei's parents were married
in 1996 and got divorced in 1999. Her mother had many health
problems including lung cancer and hepatitis B. She died in
2001. After the divorce her father never visited her. She
was living with her grandparents who received $16 a month
from the government because of their poverty. Their living
conditions were so filthy. The boards and blankets - everything
stenched terribly. They had a pig and did some farming.
The teacher in the countryside
said Ya fei did very well on easy tasks and on more
difficult tests was able to make at least 80%. She was
also active but a very good girl in class. She would
leave for school at 5:30 to 6:00 every morning and return
home around 5 PM at night.
Ya fei has proved to be a lovely active
little girl with loads of energy, smiles and happiness. She is unselfish
and loves the other children.
