A
Li Du is a 6yearold boy. But his world is far removed from his contemporaries(同龄人). His mother died of AIDS in 2009 and his father, suffering from a terrible cough and fever, went off last summer. The HIV-positive boy lives at the end of a path on topof the mountain in his windowless, furniture-less, gray-brick house. His parents movedto the top of the mountain six years ago after both being diagnosed as HIV- in torn clothes, Li Du's only relief is Lao Hei, his dog.
The boy washes his clothes and cooks his own food at an age when his contemporaries are still being fed by their parents. Putting some rice and green vegetables into a potand placing it on a stove made of several blocks, he starts a fire with amazing speed. Heuses no oil or salt but still eats his meal with great enjoyment and sets aside a bit for hisdog.
Li Du is HIV-positive but has no clue what those letters mean. All he knows is thatthose who were once his friends have deserted him and doctors refused to help him whenhe accidentally tipped boiling water on his hands.
"But my grandmother es to see me, " the boy says. However, his 84year-old grandmother will not say why she has not taken him to live with her and his uncles and aunts.
He often sits in the open area in front of his home staring at the path that leads tothe outside world, hugging his dog, lost in thought. He was in school but only for oneterm. The local primary school allowed him to take the preschool course for one term,but then they had to ask him to leave after his father was gone, considering the feelingof the other parents. He often takes out his old textbooks, touching them like littletreasures.
The latest news is that an old couple has decided to adopt Li Du and Lao Hei, aswell as the chicken he is raising. The local Red Cross Association is also talking aboutproviding proper medical care for him. Bu
