Text: There is material in the big core
Edit|Big core has material
In 2016, a photo went viral on the internet of a white tourist and a skinny, small African child who was holding mineral water to feed the African child.
The photo caused a lot of buzz on the Internet at the time, and everyone was very sympathetic to the poor African child's plight, because he looked skinny and didn't know what he had been through.
At that time, the tourists saw that the boy was already in a very bad state, so they fed the child the mineral water in their hands and took out food to feed the little boy.
So why did this African kid end up on the street on his own? Where did his parents go? And what about the little boy now?
Terrible customs in backward places
Africa was originally one of the cradles of ancient civilizations, with a long history and a vast land, but with the passage of time, Africa has become poor and backward.
When people think of Africa today, their first impression is probably the dry environment, the backward economy and the dilapidated houses.
Especially in the past 100 years, it seems that good fortune has never favored the land of Africa, and poverty and hunger, hardship and despair have always enveloped the African people.
We can see on some video websites the image of some children living in Africa, most of them are thin and small, because that place is relatively backward, the economy is not up, and because of the environment and other reasons, the food harvest is not very good, so in some particularly poor places in Africa, some children are still in poverty and hunger.
In fact, Africa is not only poor and backward, but there are also some places where there are some strange customs. This superstitious behavior is also a reflection of Africa's backwardness.
One of the most perverted customs is that when a child is about to be born in Africa, the child's parents and elders will invite a shaman to their home to perform the child's practice.
That is to say, it is equivalent to the fact that the child has not yet been born, and it will be judged by the wizard whether it is a witch child, and if it is identified as a witch child, then the child is very innocent, obviously not doing anything wrong, but will be abandoned by his family after coming into this world.
Because their families believe that witch children bring misfortune, they will casually discard the children identified as witch children on the side of the road and leave them to fend for themselves.
Poor African children
Therefore, this kind of abandoned children are relatively common on the streets of Africa, and after they are abandoned by their families, they are too young to have any means and ability to earn a living, so they have to fend for themselves on the streets.
This phenomenon of child abandonment is more common in African families, because of their economic backwardness and relative poverty in poor regions, which also limits their thinking.
Therefore, they listen to the words of the shaman, believing that a child who has not yet arrived can bring bad luck to the family, and it is this ignorance that creates the tragedy of the African witch boy.
Under this outrageous and terrible custom, as long as the child is recognized as a witch child by the wizard before he is born, then he will be ominous in the eyes of adults.
Adults will abandon this innocent child for their own interests, and after being abandoned, he can only be a wandering street child.
These street children are really pitiful on the streets of Africa, they are too young, they should have been pampered by their families in the palm of their hands, but now they are forced to wander the streets, and there is no means of making a living.
These children live in this world with their tenacious vitality, looking for food in the garbage heap when they are hungry and holding water on the ground when they are thirsty.
Adopted by well-wishers
One of the scrawny African children we mentioned earlier was one of the outcasts. Now that all these years have passed, what is the condition of this child?
At the time. The boy was very young when the tourists met him, just over a year old, but he had been wandering for a long time.
After he was abandoned, the little boy had to rely on handouts from roadside people to get by, and then went to the trash can to find food.
On the day he met the tourist, he hadn't eaten for a long time, hadn't drunk water for a long time, was on the verge of life and death, starving, and, because of eating this germ-laden food for a long time, the pain also wrapped around his young body.
When this tourist saw this wandering African child, she felt a deep shock in her heart, she did not expect that there were such poor children in Africa.
So she brought out food and water for the little boy to eat. Seeing the boy gobbling up, and seeing the boy's clear and begging eyes, the tourist was very sad.
At that time, the people who traveled with the female tourist were reminding the female tourist that this African street child was a witch child, which would bring bad luck and make the tourist stay away from the child, but the kind female tourist did not listen to what the people around her said.
She took the little boy to the aid station, and looking at the innocent child's clear eyes, she couldn't bear to take the little boy in, and the little boy's fate was changed drastically because of the good deeds of the female tourist.
A change of fate
After the African boy was adopted by the female tourist, he had a new name called Hope, because the female tourist wanted the boy's future to be promising.
Because the boy had a long-term wandering life at a young age, the boy's physical condition was very bad and he was riddled with diseases.
Many years have passed now, and the thin, small boy has become a healthy child, just like a normal child, no longer so thin. And he is now raised chubby and living a happy life.
At that time, when the photos of the boy and the female tourist were posted on the Internet, everyone was very sympathetic to the boy's plight, very sorry for him, and very worried about his future situation.
But fortunately, the boy met a soft-hearted tourist, not only adopted him, but also gave him a good life, and he is now living a very happy life, which also put everyone at ease, and things finally have a happy ending.
However, the tragedy of this boy is due to the ignorance of Africans, as well as some outrageous and terrible African customs.
In Africa, there are many more people who have been innocently abandoned like this boy, and they are not as lucky as this boy, so this little boy is very lucky to be adopted.
