FAMILY
BACKGROUND:
At the time of coming to
our home:
Yan Long fei's mother ran
away 4 years ago before we visited his home in the countryside.
Since then he and his little brother had been living with their
father and grandparents. In February of 2012 their house caught
fire because of poor wiring. His father was terribly burned and
he lost both of his legs but he survived. He had been in taken to
the hospital daily for intravenous treatment for a year and then
we were contacted that they needed to take more of what had remained
of his legs. They had a big but very dirty, empty and impoverished
house . It had been given to them by the government who bought the
old property of all those in their village and leaving them without
jobs. The life of the village depended on their l coal mine which
was illegal and thus closed down. Their grandfather used to serve
in the army but since they now had no income and no money they had
to borrow much from other people.
