Love runs deep between orphans and prairie mothers 03-12-2021
A heartwarming Shanghai-produced series “National Children” started being rebroadcast on Dragon TV from yesterday. Based on touching true stories, it tells of how 3,000 orphans from southern China were adopted and raised by nomadic mothers in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region during the 1960s.
Produced by the Shanghai Film Group, the series stars veteran actor Liu Xiaofeng and is set against the backdrop of the late 1950s and early 1960s when the country was suffering from natural disasters and severe food shortages.
Many parents from Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui Provinces had no choice but to leave the children they couldn t feed at orphanages in Shanghai in the hope they would survive and be cared for. This became such a heavy burden for Shanghai that it sought assistance and support from the central government.
