Orphans' lives and growing state are getting wide attention in communities.
In the 1990s, Linda Shum, a retired teacher from Queensland, went to China to help orphans there for 20 years, which is respected and appreciated in China.
Xiaoyuan Shang, an associate professor in Social Policy Research Centre of UNSW, is an expert in the areas of social welfare and child protection in China. In her view, what were the changes of the situation of Chinese orphans during the past 20 years? What is the best way to raise orphans? Is there any difference between China and Australia in this regard? Associate Professor Xiaoyuan Shang first introduced how many orphans China has.
