Sadness of Life

Long lives in a small village in Guangxi province. He was an orphan - and the mother and father died of AIDS. A-Long wouldn’t. By himself, he washes his laundry and makes his meals. Alone, he feeds the chickens and raises the dog. Alone, he studies and learns to read. Alone, he goes to sleep. A-Long never feels it sucks being himself, even though he is only 6-years-old this year.
