The leading boy in these black-and-white photos is called Luo Fei (flying) who is under 10 years old. His home is at some county of Sichuan Province. When his parents married to different persons after their divorce, Lou Fei was cold-shouldered by them. Neither of them wanted him to stay with them. Therefore, Lou Fei went to Beijing by taking a train with free to find his own way to make a living and find his sky to fly.
At the beginning (showed in black-and-white photos), he slept on the square of Beijing West Railway Station and pick up some costly rubbish from rubbish heaps to change for money together with some other waifs. However, few months later, he began to follow a hooligan to steal the telephone cards. The reason is not clear, maybe because he was threatened by the hooligan, or because he was attracted by that man's richer life.
One month ago he was arrested by police Wang according to the information provided by the casualty Ms. Jiang , a teacher. Wang and Jiang sympathized with Fei very much. They began to take care of him and some of his young fellows. They send them clothes and take them to dinner when they have time and on holidays.
Fei is a child younger than 10 years old. He is still pure, easily moved and educated. Little by little, he became friends of police Wang and Mis. Jiang, he even provided clews to the police. However, it is difficult to change him in only a few days, he needs more help and love from the whole society. Recently, Wang is trying to send Fei to a welfare house of Beijing,swheresFei can get better growing environment and more protection.
