Nearly every reader of Internet news has expressed the same intent in their online messages: I want to donate some money to her and her family after learning their story.
Liu Huizhen, an 11-year-old girl in Dancheng county, Henan province, is the only healthy member of her family of five. She does all the household chores and looks after her senile grandparents, both in their 70s, as well as her paralyzed father.
According to a local media report published online the day before yesterday, Huizhen gets up at 6:30 every morning to help her half-paralyzed grandfather put on his clothes and guides her grandmother to the toilet. She cooks breakfast and spoon-feeds her father before going to school.
After school, she cooks supper, washes the clothes, brings her grandparents outside to get some sun, and massages and cleans her bedridden father. After supper, she does her homework.
During the night, she gets up twice to help her father urinate while in his bed. She places the three beds of her grandfather, grandmother and father around hers so that she can get up immediately to attend to the groans for help from any of the three.
The old saying goes: "A poor family's child takes over the household management at an early age." For Huizhen, that age is only too early. She started living like this since the age of six, when her mother deserted the destitute family.
After reading her story, many people asked about the girl's address so they could send money. They also questioned if the local government would do anything to help the poor family out of their plight.
