Liu Mingxiao,13,is pretty and smart.She comes top in her class.But many students try to stay away from her because Liu's mum has AIDS(艾滋病).Liu's father has died of AIDS.Luckily,Liu didn't get it.
AIDS means fear(惧怕)for most people.“Nobody wants to play games with me.They call me bad names behind my back.Even a teacher who used to like me turns her back on me now,”said Liu.
Liu's mother didn't know what happened to her daughter until one day Liu came home with her nose bleeding(流血).“(1)She fought with a boy who said something bad about her father,”Liu's mother said.“My heart really hurts.My daughter did nothing wrong!”
For many of these children,the biggest problem they now face is how other people look at them.Many of them have to drop out of school(辍学)because they can no longer stand others' indifference(冷漠).
“People ale afraid of AIDS because they know little about it,”said Wang Chongran,head of a group to help children living with AIDS.Wang went to the villages and gave lessons about AIDS to the people there.
“Many of these children are just as healthy as others,”Wang said.“(2)Even if they have AIDS,it's still safe to eat and play with them.They need our love and understanding.A friendly smile means a lot to them!”
