FAMILY BACKGROUND:
We
first met Wang Cong kai in 2005 but his grandma was living and wanted
to care for him. Since she died we were contacted and went to see
him in June of 2008. His father, Wang Xi Po and mother,Qin Hua feng
both died from fumes from heating their home on April 26, 2000.
His grandpa died around 1997 or 1998. After Cong kai's parents died
his grandma (Zhang Niu) took care of him until 2008 when she was
diagnosed to have lung cancer. She stayed in the hospital for a
while and was brought back home and died 20 days later.
This
little boy has two aunts. Neither of them wanted to take care of
him although both of them live in Xinmi. Cong Kai also has a sister,
Wang Xiao Kai, who didn't get to finish middle school; she was working
in another city but she has never called and cared about this little
boy.
When
we visited him in the countryside he was staying with his neighbor.
He seems to be a good little student with a math score of 95% and
his Chinese 86% He said he ranked #4 among 30 students in his class.
He seemed to be a very lovely, open and honest boy. He didn't hide
his feelings at all.
