According to official statistics, which vary from one source to another, between 8,000 and 15,000 children, of which three quarters are male, disappear every year in China. They are victims of "human trafficking", which is half-heartedly fought by the authorities.

The kidnappers, who earn up to 8,000 euros per child, are rarely arrested and those who buy the children are rarely convicted.

The victims are migrant workers, cut off from their families in remote towns. Poor and overloaded with work, they have maintained the tranquil customs of their home villages, leaving their children - always an only child - to play in the streets and the dormitory towns, where they cram in, in their thousands.
