A campaign was recently launched in Yaoan County of Southwest China's Yunnan Province to provide loving care to children left at home to live with grandparents or other relatives while their parents leave their hometowns to seek employment in big cities.
Earlier this year, local authorities in charge of women and children's welfare distributed nourishing food worth 5,000 yuan to about 40 such children aged below six years, and also provided free physical checkups for 19 children.
This activity is just the prelude to the intensive campaign, which expects wide social participation in order to achieve its goal, said a local government source.
