Move to the Orphanage

送到福利院

当我八岁的时候，我的寄养父母把我送到了一个地方。我觉得那里是一个福利院，但我不确定。

我知道我会去“福利院”的，因为在我住在寄养家庭的时候，他们有时候拿这个开玩笑。但我根本就不知道这是啥意思。我不知道为什么既然他们那么舍不得，他们还是要送我到那儿。虽然我从爸爸那儿听说过“福利院”这个词，但是我不知道这个词是什么意思，也不知道那儿是什么样子。我还是不知道我是孤儿。这一切对于我来说都是一个迷。

有一个叫柏西春的男孩儿也很舍不得离开。然后我们开到福利院。车上里的小孩儿不是很多，有些人我是从我村里认识的。

当我们到了北京福利院的时候，我们区里的小孩不是很多。那里只有两个阿姨，然后我们都是睡在一个屋里。

第一天我们吃了饺子，我最喜欢饺子了。我能吃很多个饺子。

白天我们就玩电脑和玩游戏。我不记得我们有午睡，或许阿姨对于午睡不是很严格吧。

白天的生活不是很复杂，但我很想念我的寄养父母。别的孩子也很想他们的寄养父母。

When I was eight years old, my foster parents drove me to a place. I think it was an orphanage, but I'm not sure. At that place I said goodbye to my foster parents. My foster mom cried.

I knew I was going to "an orphanage," because sometime we joked about it when I lived with my foster family. However, I really didn't know what that meant. I didn't know why they sent me there if they really didn't want to. I heard the word "orphanage" many times from my foster dad, but I didn't know what that word meant and what it would be like.  I still don't know that I was an orphan. It was all a mystery to me.

There was another boy named Bai Xichun who really didn't want to leave too. Then we drove to the orphanage. There were a few children in the car, mostly boys. Some of the children I knew from my village.

When we got to the Beijing orphanage, there were very few children in our area. There only two nannies and all of us slept in the same room.

The first day we eat dumplings, it's was my favorite. I can eat a lot of them.

During the day we mostly played computer and played games. I don't remember if we have nap in there. It could be the nannies weren't really strict about that.

The day was easy and simple. However, I missed my foster parents a lot. So did the other children.
