On May 25, Wang Shijia accompanies her grandmother cutting wheat in the wheat field.

Wang Shijia's home is in Dengshan Village, Shibapan Township, Ruyang County, Henan Province, deep in the Funiu Mountains. Her father works away from home, and throughout the year, little Shijia can only see her father during the Chinese New Year and on her birthday. The gift that 7-year-old Wang Shijia wants for International Children's Day is: to see her father. The special circumstances have given little Shijia strong self-care skills from an early age. She not only keeps her own affairs in perfect order, but also helps her grandmother with housework and farm chores.
