At Sanyuan Children's Village in Shaanxi province, traumatized children of imprisoned and executed parents get the chance to heal their emtional wounds. |
Hei Dou was 3-and-a-half years old when his mother killed his father with a hammer. His mother later testified the heavy drinker had for years abused the toddler, his 5-year-old sister and herself. That night, Hei's father told his mother he had sold their daughter to pay off gambling debts, it was too much for her to bear.
