On the 23 of November these two boys were reported missing and a picture of their hiding spot underneath a bus has caused a major outcry.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words and this picture says a lot. The boys were so thin and fragile that they were able to easily fit inside the undercarriage. On a mission to find their parents, the two young boys traveled about 50 miles to find them. The boys are from a poor village in southern Guangxi, and their parents work in a neighbouring Guangdong province.
According to an article from St. Lucia Times, the boys are still unidentified and are age 9 and 10. The day they went missing, relatives were notified and thankfully the boys were picked up the same day.
When questioned by authorities the boys were a bit reluctant but were very adamant about traveling so far and in such manner to find their parents. The story has shone light on China's poverty level and the " dream " that once was.
In order to find work many have to travel to surrounding cities to provide the little bit they can for their families. Leaving loved ones behind with relatives all the while instilling the meaning of their way of life to their children.
