6-Year-Old HIV-Positive Boy Forced to Live Alone in Rural SouthWest, CHINA. The life of a six year old, anywhere in the world should be filled with bubbles and love and comfort and caring. For poor Ah Long, an HIV carrier from Guangxi Province, China, life is difficult and extremely lonely. Both his parents died of AIDS and the poor child is too much on his own, doing his own washing, cooking and studying. His 84-year-old grandmother has planted vegetables for him and visits frequently. She cooks for him, but will not live with the child. Everyone else in his world, including the nearby primary school has rejected him. His only friend and companion is a dog named Lao Hei. He receives 70 yuan of subsistence allowance per month from the local civil bureau plus periodical material supplies from kindhearted people, but he still lives alone without a guardian.
