1937年7月7日,卢沟桥事变爆发,日本帝国主义发动了全面侵华战争。日军的长驱直入,国民党在军事上的抵抗无力,给战区人民带来了深重的灾难。数千万同胞沦于日寇铁蹄之下,家园毁于战火,财产化为灰烬,生命毫无保障。为了生存,为了抗日,人们或扶老携幼,离乡背井,走上逃难之路;或抛妻别子,愤然奔赴战场,由此产生了一大批失去了父母亲人、孤苦伶仃的难童。难童是战争的直接受害者,难童问题在当时即引起了国民政府和社会各方面的极大关注。 July 7, 1937, Lugouqiao Incident broke out, the Japanese imperialists launched an all-out war on China. The long-drive plan of the Japanese army and the weak KMT resistance in the military have brought deep disaster to the people in theater. Tens of millions of our compatriots fell under the brigands of the Japanese invaders, their homeland was destroyed by the war, its property was reduced to ashes, and its life was without protection. In order to survive, in order to resist Japan, people either help their children and help bring young children to their homeland and embark on the road to flight; or they throw their wives into their own hands and run to the battlefield angrily. As a result, a large number of children who have lost their parents and are lonely are left alone. The hard-won children were the direct victims of the war. The issue of the young child caught the great attention of the national government and various sectors of society at the time.
