Many Chinese kids, known as "left-behind" children, hardly ever see their parents,because their parents are migrant workers.

Li Ling, 11, is a left-behind child. Her parents have been working in Zhejiang for 10 years, while she lives with her grandparents in Guangdong. She was reunited with her parents last Spring Festival. As the number of migrant workers in China increases, the number of left-behind children is rising fast. Li is one of the 61. 02 million left-behind children under 17. They account for 37. 7 percent of rural children and 21. 88 percent of all Chinese children

The large number of left-behind children has already become a social issue. If left unsolved, it will cause serious problems, Wang Zhenyao, director of the China Philanthropy Research Institute, told China Daily. The education level of adults supervising（监管） these children is generally not that high. They can only take care of the children's personal safety and daily living, being unable to care for their educational and spiritual needs. Meanwhile, the absence of parental support will make some left-behind children lack self-confidence. They may be slower in physical and emotional growth than their peers. Others may even become "problem youths".

To solve this problem, the government is taking action For instance, 30 provinces and cities have allowed certain children to attend school and take the college entrance exam in the city where their parents are However, Wang suggested that the country do more, such as making policies encouraging migrant workers to work in their hometowns. He also said that a well-balanced child welfare system is needed. "These children are the future of the nation, so they deserve our loving care and protection," Wang said.

Not many were surprised when Dustin Sherrard was chosen, among a team of five, to represent Ontario at WorldSkills Competition in Leipzig, Germany this year.

The event, once known as the Skill Olympics, symbolizes the top of excellence in professional training where young skilled people from around the world compete in the skills of their various jobs measured against demanding international standard, which is hard to reach.

The 21-year-old, who grew up in Englehart, Ont, didn’t get a medal but the experience did wonders for his confidence. Sherrard had passion for carpentry (木工) and showed promise at a very young age. “I first got interested in woodmaking when I was in Grade 10,” he says. “I had taken wood shop before but it never became a hobby of mine until my school started to get hard wood into the shop classes.”

“I realized how much fun woodworking was and took all the wood-shop classes I could and started spending time in the shop after school,” he says. “I got a summer job working with my uncle and used most of the money I made to buy woodworking tools and quickly turned my dad’s little shop into my own woodworking shop.” His skills and knowledge were sharpened and tested in the woodworking program.

All this went a long way in preparing him for full-time employment and taught him what to expect when he started working.

“The biggest challenge to secure a good job with my training and skill set would be to keep up with all the different products and new designs,” he says. “I have only been in the industry for a few years but even my boss, who has been doing this for many years, is still learning new things all the time.”

Sherrard’s passion for his skill has brought him this far but his thirst for learning keeps pushing him further. He’s already planning to go back to school to study engineering.
