　　The Chinese government has issued new guidelinesto protect children in rural areas whose parentshave moved to cities to work.

　　中國當局已出台新的指點文件，以此來掩護那些屯子地域怙恃進城務工的留守兒童。據估量，中國留守兒童總數已達6100萬。因為許多人僅能享受其故鄉的大眾辦事，農人工的後代只得留守屯子持續學業。

　　Rural governments will be asked to monitor the welfare of children who live alone. Parents will beencouraged to take their children with them when possible. In 2013 a spate of sex abuse casesinvolving "left-behind" children shocked China.

It means migrantswill be entitled to use public services, such as health and education, where they live, ratherthan in the villages they come from.
