'Little migratory birds' on the move again

Huang Kai and his mother eat noodles as they wait for a train to Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region where the boy's father works at a railway station. During the summer vacation, many children from rural areas visit cities where their parents work, or leave cities for their hometowns because their parents have no time to look after them. The group has been dubbed "Little Migratory Birds", meaning they move between places during the summer and winter vacations. (Photo: China News Service/Chen Li)
