"Only when we treat children as belonging to the whole society and nation will we generate the sense of responsibility to protect them. It would shame the nation if it fails to protect its children."

Chen Yunying, an expert on special education and a National People's Congress deputy, in an interview with China.com.cn on Friday. She advocates inclusive education without excluding homeless children and children left behind in rural areas by migrant-worker parents from society's benefits.
