I interviewed the parents of the kid who was all bundled up while he was in surgery (see below). They are really nice, genuine people. Ding translated for me, and only a small part of our talk was on camera, but I wanted to get some footage for the blog. These folks are very poor, and the clothes they are wearing are the nicest they own. When they came to Chongqing they didn't want to be seen as poor by us or the other families. What they lack in money they make up for in pride and dignity.
