Chinese New Year and China's orphans
As Chinese people all over the world celebrate Chinese New Year on 14 February, 2010, welcoming in the Year of the Tiger, for millions of orphaned and abandoned children in China there will be little or no positive difference to their harsh, daily struggle for survival. About 85 percent of China's orphans in state care die before reaching adulthood. From this we can estimate that millions of orphans in China have died prematurely over the years, due to lack of proper care and love.
