Are the lives of city kids the same as those in villages? In lots of ways, they are very different. But what are the differences?
Hu Peng of Wuhan and four friends decided to find them out. Earlier this month, they went to live for a week in Caidian, a village near Wuhan. Hu and his Junior 1 classmates went door to door in Caidian and asked kids there lots of questions. They wanted to learn more about village kids’ everyday lives, so they asked questions like—Do your parents teach you how to do housework? How much money do you usually spend on dinner? What would you do if a thief came into your house? They also asked 150 city kids the same questions.
On April 12, the team gave a report to their class. They told about lots of differences between children’s lives in cities and those in villages. The biggest difference is independence(自立，独立). Hu’s team saw that 60 percent of city kids can’t do much housework, but 90 percent of village kids can care for themselves.
City kids told Hu they cared about school a lot, and they had no time for washing clothes or making their beds. Village kids said they helped their parents with a lot—They cook, clean house and feed pigs. Hu’s team also saw that village kids had less pocket money. Many never use computers. They play in rivers or on mountains. Some don’t really like to make new friends.
Hu and his friends said their trip gave them more self-confidence because they were doing something by themselves. But it also worried them a bit because they saw they still had a lot to learn. “When we grow up, our parents can’t take care of us,” Hu said. “We have to learn to take care of ourselves.” Shen Guanquan, one of Hu’s friends, said, “When people learn to care for themselves, they learn to do lots of difficult things.”
