    Little reporter: How are you, Uncle Liu? I am glad to meet you.
    Uncle Liu: How are you! Welcome you to my home!
    Little reporter: Uncle! Today we come mainly to know the circumstance of your home and outside circumstance. Could you introduce something?
    Uncle Liu: Okay! I am 49 years old. There are 4 members in our family: our couple, a son 24 years old and a little daughter 19 years old. We are all farmers.
    Little reporter: could you tell us something about your children’s study in school?
    Uncle Liu: my two children have good marks at school. But for limited circumstances in home, the elder child stops schooling before the graduation of primary school. The younger daughter finishes junior high school under support of the whole family. Now they all work at home.
    Little reporter: What is the main source of your economic income?
    Uncle Liu: the first several years ago, our whole families work on farm, but for restriction on geographical condition, farm goods can't be watered; rain water is excessive or is dry. So, we plant ginseng fruit under the help of government besides grow plants.。
    Little reporter: after having ginseng fruit, you should have more income compared with before, then how about your family income now?
    Uncle Liu: for ginseng fruit hasn't stable market, and its price changes with season. Removing related expenditure, the income of ginseng fruit in a year is about RMB 5000 Yuan. On average, each person has less than RMB 1300 Yuan. Nevertheless, I believe tomorrow will be better.
    Little reporter: now economic condition becomes better, then what do you think of your children study in the future?
    Uncle Liu: they all have not finished study, I felt very sorry before, now the same. At that time, the family can not afford them to go to school. Home income is low and their mother is ill. I have to stop the elder study to help me ay home. After younger sister finishing junior high school, we have no ability to continue her further because the junior high school fees are too high. Now, they have no opportunity to continue their study, we want to make great effort now and let all children complete them of studies.
