ZHU SHAN ZUI, China -- Ou Lanying was six months old when her parents left this small rural community two hours east of Changsha, capital of southern Hunan Province, to find work in the city. She's not seen them since.
The solemn 12-year-old has spent her life with her grandparents and it's been a difficult experience for all of them. Ou is sullen and unsmiling. Her grandparents are struggling, almost too old now to care for her.
Enter Dai Chaowei. He's a short, solidly built teacher at Shantian School who can't stand seeing what is happening to "left-behind" kids like Ou.
He watched them get into trouble, cut classes and drop out of school, but the situation came to a head when one after the other, two students at the school died -- senselessly. One was killed in a fight in 2003; a year later, a young girl, drank poison after she found out she was pregnant. Neither had parents at home to look out for them.
"Those incidents really shocked us," Dai says as he sits in the teacher's room between classes.
He's of an age where he could have been father to either student and as he quietly talks it is evident how moved he was by them -- moved to action, that is.
Ou is now firmly under his wing. He's raised money for her tuition and living expenses, but more importantly, he makes time to see and talk to her every week. She isn't exactly thriving yet, Dai laments, but "her heart is more open."
Shantian School is experiencing in microcosm one of China's most tragic social problems. Of the 716 students at the school, 275 have two absent parents, migrant workers who sometimes send home money, but rarely, if ever, make it back themselves.
Across China there are an estimated 20 million left-behind kids growing up without their parents.
No one here blames the parents for leaving. The tiny plots of terraced rice paddies that climb the foothills into the Mufu Mountains can't support them.
Those who stay barely eke out an existence.
Jobs in the "new China" are in the big cities. Mega cities like Shanghai and Beijing are being built with the sweat of 150 million migrant workers.
Shanghai, for instance, has an official population of 17 million, but anyone on the street will tell you it is actually about 22 million if you include migrant workers.
