沈阳住在墙洞里的“小人”
沈阳住在墙洞里的“小人”三个无家可归的男孩——一个8岁，两个17岁——来自沈阳不同的家庭，像兄弟一样一起住在火车站附近一堵镂空的墙里半年了。他们的“家”只有半米高，2米宽。
Three homeless boys – one aged 8 and the others 17 – who come from different families in northeastern China's Shenyang city, have been living together like siblings in a hollowed-out section in a wall near the city's railway station for half a year. Their shelter is half a meter high and 2 meters wide.
All of their parents are divorced, and some say that their family background is partly to blame for their fate.
| This photo taken on April 23 shows Xiaolai, 17, helping his friend Xiaoning, 8, climb into a hollowed-out section in a wall where they have been living with a third boy, also 17, for half a year. |
Xiaoning, the youngest of the three, lived with his father after his mother left them several years ago. However, his father would apparently never return home until late at night – for reasons that remain unclear - and never worried if he did not see his son at home.
Xiaoshuai, another of the boys, said his mother left home when he was 4, and his father left him 6 years later.
The third youth is Xiaolai.
