童年的时候，你在做什么?跟爸爸撒娇要买玩具，被妈妈压着去学外语，拿着奶奶偷偷给的零花钱，和小伙伴分享刚买的泡泡糖……当自己的要求得不到满足的时候，会像小大人一样叹气：“做小孩好辛苦!”可是阿龙不会。他一个人洗衣做饭，一个人喂鸡养狗，一个人读书认字，一个人入睡。阿龙从不觉得自己很辛苦，尽管他今年只有6岁。

　　一个人的“家”

　　柳州市马鹿山脚的牛车坪村是一座依山而建的村落，水泥路从山脚向上蔓延，两边都是一栋栋的楼房。越往山上去，路越窄，楼房的规模也就越小。到了半山腰，就只剩一条尘土飞扬的泥巴路，路边杂草丛生。道路尽头是3间修建得很随意的青砖平房，甚至连窗户都没有。11月2日，在村委工作人员的陪同下，记者看到了上面的场景。

　　这里，就是6岁阿龙的家，一个人的“家”。

　　其中一间独立小屋的外侧，因为有几块青砖摞成的“灶台”以及装了陶瓷便盆的“厕所”，“设施”相对齐全，于是就成了阿龙的“主卧”。另外两间相连的平房，破烂不堪的木门象征性地掩着，没有门锁。据了解，阿龙曾住过其中一间，不过因为父亲在这里去世，如今再没有人靠近这两间房子。阿龙也没有再进去过，只是经常在门口走来走去。“是不是觉得爸爸还在里面睡觉?”阿龙没有回答，犹豫了一下，摇摇头跑开了。

　　小屋前有一片很大的空地，是阿龙平时活动的主要场所。而他最常做的事，就是搂着那条叫“老黑”的狗，望着通往外界的那条路发呆。父亲过世后，阿龙就没再下过山。

　　远远地看见熟悉的叔叔阿姨，阿龙显得很高兴。村委工作人员拿出盒装饼干和香蕉，非常自然地放在房间里，并叮嘱阿龙不能把饼干当饭吃，显然这不是第一次给阿龙送东西了。听到叔叔的话，阿龙乖巧地点头，咧开嘴笑了。

　　一个人的未来

　　工作人员告诉记者，阿龙的情况很让人揪心，但是村委能做的，只能是确保他一时的衣食无忧。虽然已经帮他申请了低保，但阿龙的成长光靠每个月70元的救助以及热心人的接济是远远不够的。“没有吃的穿的，我们可以买，但在阿龙的医疗、教育、抚养等方面，我们能做的并不多。”

　　其他部门又是如何做的呢?

　　柳州市疾控中心艾防科相关负责人告诉记者，对于阿龙的病情，涉及到使用抗艾滋病毒的药物都是免费的，但是在此之外的药物，他们就无能为力了。

　　城中区民政局的工作人员给阿龙送去了两床棉被，以及一本低保存折。工作人员说，阿龙申请的是农村低保，现在每个月有70元，明年会涨到每月100元。另外他们也会经常给阿龙送些生活物资，确保他不会挨饿受冻。然而，由于阿龙的家庭情况比较复杂，社会福利院无法接收，只能继续与阿龙的亲属沟通，为阿龙争取权益。

　　教育方面，虽然阿龙是适龄儿童，但要想和其他同龄小朋友一样坐在教室里上课，困难重重。

　　据了解，阿龙曾在马鹿山小学上了一个学期的学前班，但后面就终止了。校长陈喜友说，学前班的管理与小学不同，当时学前班正好有空位，就允许他来读了。

　　陈校长说，阿龙父亲去世后，阿龙父母因为艾滋病而死的消息就在村里传开了，而阿龙的检测又证实其本身为艾滋病病毒携带者，如果阿龙真的来到学校上学，他们学校的压力也很大。“学校学前班加上一二年级有一两百人，这么多同年纪的小孩子，难免平时发生些小打闹，其他学生的家长会怎么想?”

　　据知情者透露，9月份开学后，阿龙的奶奶曾想送阿龙来读一年级，有家长得知后，联名上书表示抗议，校方迫于压力没有答应让阿龙入学。

　　“ 考虑到他的实际情况，我们学校马上就以书面报告的形式向上级教育部门汇报了这个事情，上级教育部门、民政部门和村委都已经集体开会讨论过阿龙的事了，但目前没有一个定论。”就在校长说话间，旁边有学生家长插话说：“如果他真的来学校上学了，那我只能把自己的孩子转学去别处，心理压力太大。”

　　几经周折，记者联系上位于南宁的一个关爱艾滋病孤儿的民间组织。该组织工作人员表示，他们确实可以接收艾滋病孤儿，但是要看阿龙的条件是否符合。工作人员说，因为他们是实行寄养的方式，但这并不是对儿童最好的养育方式。如果阿龙有亲属，他们还是希望能说服亲属领养阿龙。“家庭的温暖，亲人的关爱是寄养无法给予的。”同时，工作人员也表示，他们会进一步了解阿龙的家庭情况，如有必要，可以为阿龙提供帮助。

　　一个人的依靠

　　据了解，阿龙的父亲是牛车坪村的村民，母亲则是从外地嫁来的。6年前，阿龙的父母在山上搭了房子，一直住到去世，留下阿龙一个人生活至今。

　　当年阿龙的父母为什么会突然搬到远离村子的山上?村民们对此都讳莫如深。

　　知情的村民说，阿龙的父亲年轻时有十几年的时间不在村里，据说是坐牢去了。对于刑释人员，大家总有一些排斥心理，“可能就因为这样，与大家的关系不是很亲”。

　　和阿龙比较亲近的只有84岁的奶奶。奶奶时常来看他，但不是每天都来。当天下午，奶奶刚好过来了，于是阿龙就不用喂鸡，也不用自己摘菜，可以多玩一会儿。奶奶在房子旁的空地上种了两块菜地，一块是菜心，一块是韭菜，她说这些够阿龙平时吃的了。

　　奶奶住在另一个儿子家，走路到阿龙这里大概要15分钟。她一般是下午来，为阿龙做好饭就走。至于洗澡洗衣服这些，阿龙说他自己会洗，他能洗得干净，晾的时候只要站到凳子上就够得到晾衣竿了。

　　记者问奶奶，能不能住在这里带大阿龙?她犹豫地说自己有点害怕住这里。能不能把阿龙带到他叔叔那里住呢?奶奶不说话，低下头整理刚摘的菜心。

　　村里的工作人员也是阿龙接触较多的人，他知道这些叔叔阿姨真的很关心他。每次来看他，都会带好吃的和新衣服。前段时间突然降温得厉害，一位阿姨还连夜送来了棉被和冬装。除此之外，还有很多不留名的热心市民也会来看望阿龙，但是几乎没有人提起阿龙的抚养问题。阿龙说经常会有人给他钱，不过他不想用，都收起来了。“他需要的，不仅仅是物质上的帮助。”一位工作人员说。 一个人的悲伤

　　梁女士所指的“出事”，不仅仅是因为阿龙没有双亲管教，更重要的原因是——阿龙是一个HIV病毒携带者。

　　据知情人称，去年阿龙母亲去世前病得很严重，整个人变得很瘦削，当时大家都以为她是得了肺结核。然而不久后，阿龙的父亲也出现了同样的症状，一个健壮的男人很快瘦得只剩下一层皮。这时村里开始流传，两人得的是艾滋病。传言在阿龙父亲住院时得到证实，大家又对阿龙产生了怀疑。不过这一切，年幼的阿龙还不能明白，他只知道爸爸得了和妈妈一样的病，并且快要死了。

　　据村委工作人员介绍，阿龙的父亲去世前，虚弱得无法下床，更不要说照顾阿龙。那时阿龙还不会自己煮饭，就靠邻居施舍几口。阿龙的父亲是在7月的一天中午走的，当时除了守在一旁的阿龙，没有一个人知道。直到晚饭时，邻居梁女士没有看到阿龙出现，才发现老友死去多时。

　　据当时在场的工作人员回忆，他们接到消息后立刻赶来，一直陪着父亲的阿龙听到动静迎了出来，口气平静地告诉他：“叔叔，我阿爸死了，和阿妈一样……”小小的阿龙并没有哭，安静得让所有人心碎。

　　后来，由于相关协调问题，阿龙父亲的遗体直到第二天才被送往殡仪馆。在此期间，阿龙依然静静地呆在父亲的房间，守着遗体度过了整整一夜。从那以后，阿龙没再提起“爸爸”。

　　据了解，当时有人想收养阿龙，然而就在一切都准备就绪的时候，阿龙被检测出HIV抗体呈阳性，也就是说阿龙是个艾滋病毒携带者。

　　好心人退却了，村民们害怕了。

　　阿龙不知道什么叫“艾滋病”，他只知道，原来一起玩的小伙伴不敢再靠近他;眼看就要读一年级了，却被告知“在家等通知”;手被烫伤，医生不敢处理伤口;就连惟一可以依靠的奶奶，也不愿跟他一起住。一如既往跟着他的，只有老黑。

　　仿佛就在一夜之间，阿龙长大了许多。尽管接连遭遇家庭变故，阿龙却没有掉过眼泪。年仅6岁的他，学会了煮饭洗衣，学会了看时间做事，学会了自读自写，学会了独自活下去。

　　一个人的快乐

　　面对陌生人来访，起初阿龙还有些腼腆，但毕竟是孩子，很快就兴奋起来，对着记者的相机不停地摆姿势。玩得兴起，甚至还表演了一套“中国功夫”，一招一式颇有模样。不敢相信，如此天真活泼的阿龙，竟是一个失去双亲独自生活的孤儿。

　　阿龙并不认为他一个人生活有什么不好，因为他有“老黑”。

　　“ 老黑”是一条黑色的雌性土狗，阿龙养了好几年。自阿龙懂事起，“老黑”就陪在他身边，如今更是阿龙最亲密的伙伴。晚上睡觉时阿龙从不关门，“老黑”有时和他一起睡在房里，有时睡在门口，为他守护。“老黑”不喜欢叫，面对突然出现的陌生人，“老黑”甚至有些害羞地躲进了房间。不过只要阿龙一声呼喊，“老黑” 就会立即跑到他的身边，亲昵地绕圈圈。阿龙抓起“老黑”的两只前腿，头挨着头，笑得很开心。一人一狗无法言语，也无须言语。

　　6 岁的小男孩应该有很多一起调皮捣蛋的伙伴，可是阿龙没有。记者问阿龙，平时跟哪些小朋友一起玩?他沉默很久，小声地说有个姓梁的小孩偶尔会来跟他玩，但是他以前的同学都不跟他玩了。阿龙也不想出去跟村里的小朋友玩，因为跟他们不熟。虽然这样说，可是阿龙却盯着外面的那条路，眼神忧郁。

　　梁姓小孩是梁女士的亲戚。她告诉记者，是家里人不让他来跟阿龙玩的，因为怕“出事”，“其他小朋友应该也是担心这个”。

　　一个人的晚餐

　　天将黑了，阿龙开始准备晚餐。

　　“你会自己煮饭?”阿龙点点头，并抬起左手给记者看。只见左手虎口处的皮肤结了一个很大的疤痕，在小小的手显得触目惊心。阿龙却满不在乎，说是前几天煮饭时不小心烫到，不过现在快好了。

　　“当时去医院看了没有?”阿龙没有接话。一同前来的工作人员则很无奈：“受伤时没有人知道，第二天知道后才带他去卫生所，可是别人不愿医，只好擦点红药水……”

　　此时阿龙在“厨房”里忙碌，往小铝锅里放米、倒水。记者提醒他：“水放多了吧?等下要煮成稀饭的!”他没有吭声，自顾自地将锅架在“灶台”上。阿龙生火的速度令人吃惊，将几根干柴折断塞到锅底，接着点燃一团废报纸塞进去，几秒钟干柴就燃起来了。

　　过了十几分钟，估摸着饭快熟了，阿龙揭开锅盖，丢了几根菜心进去。之前多放的一点水，刚好可以把菜心煮熟。很快，晚餐就出锅了。白饭拌菜心，没有油，也没有盐，更没有其他作料，阿龙大口大口地吃得津津有味。他说，一个人吃不完，剩下的就给“老黑”吃。

　　虽然没油没盐，但有晚餐的日子对于阿龙来说已经很幸福了。最近阿龙刚收到好心人给的20公斤米和5公斤面，够他吃上一阵了。然而碰上断粮的时候，就只能靠邻居梁女士一家接济。梁是阿龙父亲的老朋友，3年前在阿龙家旁开辟了个做水泥砖的场地，阿龙平时见得最多的就是梁女士一家了。

　　“自从爸爸去世后，阿龙自己也不出这个院子了。有好心人来看他给他钱，我们就让他自己去外面买点吃的，他也不愿去。有时他会在我们的门口张望，我们估计他是没有吃的了，就会让他拿碗过来，给他装一碗饭菜，平时买了苹果就给他几个。”梁说。Aaron 6-year-old story of AIDS orphans
Source: Southern China Morning Post Time: 2010-11-09 10:32
AIDS is relentless, however, 6-year-old Aaron is innocent, leave him to face the pain caused by AIDS and torture of a civilized society a step backward.

Childhood, what are you doing? Spoiled with their father to buy toys, pressing my mother to learn a foreign language, holding her grandmother secretly to the pocket money, and small partners to share just bought bubble gum ... ... when their demands are not satisfied, will be the same as small adults, sighed: "To be very hard for a child!" But Aaron will not. He had been cooking and cleaning, a dog who feed the chickens, a person to read, a person to fall asleep. Aaron never feel that they are hard, even though he is only 6 years old this year.

A person's "home"

Village deer foot carts Liuzhou is a hillside village, spread upward from the foot of the cement road, one after another, both sides of the building. More to the mountain, the more narrow way, also the smaller size of the building. To halfway up the mountain to only a dusty dirt roads, the roadside weeds. End of the road is three brick cottage built a very casual, and even the windows are not. November 2, in the village committee, accompanied by staff, the reporter saw the above scene.

Here is the 6-year-old Aaron's home, a person's "home."

One of the outside of an independent house, because there are a few brick pile as the "stove" and installed ceramic urinals in the "toilet", "facility" is relatively complete, then Aaron has become the "master bedroom." Connected to the other two bungalows, dilapidated wooden door symbolically over her, no locks. It is understood that one of Aaron had lived, but because his father died here, and now no one close to the two houses. Aaron did not go off again, but often walked in the door. "Is not that Dad was still sleeping inside?" Aaron did not answer, hesitated, shook his head and ran away.

There was a big shed, open space, when the activities are the main places Along Ping. His most do, is round the piece called "Old Black" dog, looking at the road leading to the outside world a daze. After his father passed away, no longer been to Aaron Hill.

Yuanyuandekan see familiar aunts and uncles, Aaron looked very happy. Out of the village committee staff boxed biscuits and bananas, very natural in my room, and told Aaron not to eat biscuits, obviously this is not the first time for Aaron to send things. Hear the words of his uncle, Aaron clever nod, grinned.

A person's future

Staff told reporters, Aaron makes the situation very worried, but the village committee can really do is to ensure that his temporary enough to live comfortably. Although applications for the minimal needs to help him, but Aaron alone to grow 70 per month, the relief and aid to enthusiastic people is not enough. "There is no food and clothes, and we can buy, but in the Aaron's health, education, upbringing, etc., is not much we can do."

Other departments is how to do it?

Liuzhou CDC HIV Prevention Division, told reporters responsible for the Aaron's condition, involves the use of anti-HIV drugs are free, but beyond this drug, they can not do anything.

District Civil Affairs Bureau, the city staff to Aaron sent two quilts, and a minimal needs passbook. Staff said the application was rural residents Aaron, now 70 yuan a month, next year will rise to 100 yuan per month. In addition they will often give Aaron to take some daily necessities, to ensure that he would not starved. However, due to Aaron's family situation is more complex, social welfare can not receive, can only continue to communicate with Aaron's family, fighting for the rights to Aaron.

Education, although Aaron is a school-age children, but to be sitting in the classroom, like other children the same age classes difficult.

It is understood that Aaron Hill Primary School in Red Deer on a semester of pre-school, but later annulled. President Chen Xiyou said the management of preschool and primary school is different from pre-school was just a space to allow him to read.

President Chen said that his father after the death of Aaron, Aaron's parents died because of AIDS spread in the village news, and Aaron also confirmed its own testing for AIDS virus carriers, and if Aaron really came to school their schools are under great pressure. "Second grade school with a preschool two hundred people, so many of the same age children, will inevitably place some small usual slapstick, the parents of other students think?"

According to insiders, in September after school, Aaron's grandmother wanted to send Aaron to read the first grade, some parents, after that, signed a letter of protest, the school is not under pressure, agreed to let Aaron schools.

"Taking into account his actual situation, our school immediately in the form of a written report to the higher education sector reported the matter, the higher education sector, the civil affairs department and the village committee have been meeting to discuss collective Aaron thing, but no a conclusion. "to the principal Yuehua Jian, next to the parents chipped in, said:" If he really come to the school to school, I can only transfer their children to go elsewhere, too much psychological pressure. "

After many setbacks, the reporter contacted in care of AIDS orphans in Nanning, a non-governmental organizations. The organization said they do can receive AIDS orphans, but depends on whether the conditions for Aaron. Staff said, because they are implemented the way foster care, but this is not the best child rearing. If Aaron has relatives, they still hope to convince the relatives of adopted Aaron. "The warmth of the family, foster family care is not given." At the same time, the staff said they would learn more about Aaron's family, if necessary, provide help for Aaron.

Rely on a person

It is understood that Aaron's father was the village carts Village, the mother is married come from overseas. 6 years ago, Aaron's parents take the house in the mountains, lived until his death, leaving Aaron a person's life so far.

Aaron's parents, then why the sudden move to the mountains away from the village? Villagers are reticent about this.

Informed of the villagers said, Aaron's father was young, there is not more than ten years time the village is said to go to jail. For prisoners, there are always some people reject, "may be because of this, and our relations are not very close."

And relatively close to Aaron's only 84-year-old grandmother. Grandma came to see him often, but not every day. In the afternoon, my grandmother just came out, so Aaron would not have chickens, do not have their own pick vegetables, you can linger a little longer. Grandma in the house on the open space next to the two kinds of vegetable, one is a cabbage, a piece of a leek, she said, when A Longping enough to eat.

Grandma living in the home of another son, Aaron here is probably to walk to 15 minutes. She would come this afternoon, for the good meal and left Aaron. As for the clothes these bath, Aaron said he would wash, he washed clean, dry time is enough as long as the stand on a stool by a laundry pole.

Asked Grandma, can not live here with a big Aaron? She hesitated to say that they are a little scared to live here. Could put Aaron into his uncle to live in? Grandmother did not speak, bowed his head finishing just picked cabbage.

Aaron is also the staff of the village contact with more people, he knows the aunts and uncles really care about him. Every time to see him, will bring good and new clothes. Sudden cooling badly some time ago, an aunt also sent blankets and winter clothes overnight. In addition, there are many unnamed member of the public will come to see Aaron, but almost no mention of the custody of Aaron. Aaron said that people often give him money, but he did not want to use, are close up. "He needs not only material help." Said a staff member. A person's grief

Leung is the meaning of "trouble", not only because Aaron did not parental discipline, more important reason is - Aaron is an HIV virus.

An informed source said that before his mother died last year, Aaron was seriously ill, the people become very thin, when we all thought she had tuberculosis. But shortly after, Aaron's father also appeared the same symptoms, a robust man soon left with only thin layer of skin. Then the village began to spread, they have the AIDS. Aaron father in the hospital when the rumor was confirmed, and everyone had a doubt on Aaron. But all of this, young Aaron could not understand, he only knows the same father and mother got sick and dying.

According to the village committee staff, Aaron's father before he died, too weak to get out of bed, let alone to take care of Aaron. Aaron also was not cooking for himself to charity by a neighbor a few mouthfuls. Aaron's father was one day in July leaving at noon, when the addition to keep the side of Aaron, no one knows. Until the dinner, the neighbors did not see Aaron Leung appeared, only to find old friends died a long time.

According to memories of the staff at the scene, they came immediately after receiving the message has been heard accompanying his father Aaron was greeted by a movement out of breath and calmly told him: "Uncle, I father died, and the grandmother as ... ... "Aaron did not cry a little, quiet, to keep everyone apart.

Later, due to problems related to coordination, Aaron father's body was only sent to the funeral home until the next day. In the meantime, Aaron continued his father's room, stay quiet, spent the whole night guarding the body. Since then, Aaron has no longer mention "father."

It is understood that some people want to adopt Aaron, however, everything would be ready in time, Aaron was detected positive for HIV antibodies, that Aaron is living with HIV.

Well-meaning people give in, the villagers fear.

Aaron did not know what "AIDS", he only knows a small partner of the original play did not dare to close to him; appeared to be reading a grade, but was told that "at home notice"; hand burns, the doctor can not wound treatment; even only can rely on the grandmother, do not want to live with him. As always with him, only the old black.

Seems like overnight, Aaron grew up a lot. Despite the series of tragedies hit home, Aaron did not shed tears. Only 6 years old, he learned to cook laundry, learned to tell time things learned from reading from writing, learned to live alone.

A person's happiness

The face of a stranger's visit, Aaron is also a little shy at first, but after all the children, and soon excited, facing reporters kept the camera pose. Have the rise, and even performing a set of "Kung Fu", one by one and quite like. Not believe Aaron is so innocent and lively, was actually an orphans lost their parents to live alone.

Aaron did not think he has anything wrong with a person's life, because he has "Old Black."

"Old Black" is a black female dog, Aaron raised for several years. Sensible from Aaron, the "old black" to be with him, and now is Aaron's closest partner. Aaron never closed during night, "old black" and sometimes slept in the room with him, sometimes sleeping in the doorway, his guardian. "Old Black" does not like to call, in the face of a stranger suddenly appeared, "old black" or even a little shy to hide in the room. But as long as Aaron heard shouting, "old black" immediately ran to his side, affectionately around the circle. Aaron grabbed the "old black" front legs, head next to head, smiling happily. One person, one dog can not say, without words.

6-year-old boy should have a lot of mischief with a partner, but Aaron did not. Asked Aaron, with which children usually play with? He was silent for a long time, and softly whispered the child has a surname beam to play with him occasionally, but not his former students play with him. Aaron did not come up to talk to the village children to play, because they are unfamiliar with. Having said that, but Aaron was staring at the road outside, their eyes blue.

Leung Leung is the surname of a child relatives. She told reporters the family would not let him play with Aaron for fear of "trouble", "other children should also be worried about this."

A person's dinner

Days will be dark, and Aaron began to prepare dinner.

"You cooking for himself?" Aaron nodded and raised his left hand to reporters. I saw the skin of the left tiger's mouth at the end of a big scar, shocking look at the little hand. Aaron was nonchalant, saying it was a few days ago without careful hot to cook, but now almost ready.

"It was not read to the hospital?" Aaron did not take words. Staff to come together is really frustrating: "No one knows the time of injury the next day, after that take him to the clinic, but others do not want medicine, had to rub point red syrup ... ..."

Aaron at this time in the "kitchen" in the busy, to the small aluminum Guo Lifang meters, some water. Reporter reminded him: "has too much water? Wait for the next to be boiled porridge!" He did not say anything, just keep the pot rack in the "stove" on. Along Sheng alarming rate of fire, dry wood will break a few stuffed pot, and then ignited into a mass of waste paper to a few seconds to ignite firewood come.

After ten minutes, reckoned instant rice, and Aaron opened the lid, throw a few cabbage inside. A little extra water before, just to Cook heart cooked. Soon, dinner on the pan. Rice PICKLES heart, no oil, no salt, and no other condiments, Aaron breathing to eat with relish. He said that a person eat, give the rest of the "old black" to eat.

Although no salt, no oil, but the days of dinner for Aaron is already very happy. Along Gang recently received well-intentioned people to the 20 kg rice and 5 kg of noodles, enough for him to eat a while. However, without food, when hit, you can only rely on a financial aid Leung neighbors. Beam is an old friend of his father Aaron, 3 years ago, Aaron has opened up to make a home next to the cement blocks of the site, Along Ping Leung is when we prove that one of the most.

"Since my father died, Aaron he is not out of the yard of the. Has good people to see him give him money, and we let him go out and buy their own food, he would not go. Sometimes he would in our the gate to look, we estimate that he is not eating, it will let him take over the bowl, give him a bowl of food equipment, usually buy Apple gave him some. "Liang said.
