The Book: Messages From an Unknown Chinese Mother by Xinran
"The children were just left to cry all day. She mostly fed them on rice gruel, and kept them clean by sluicing the urine and excrement off the mat with cold water. By night she slept squeezed onto the mat with the babies, at the mercy of the mosquitoes just as they were." Page 244

Carol, it is sad and that's not the worst of it.

Fredamans, it is good. The subject is very emotional, all the more because it's true.
