Makes me jealous, I'd have loved to have that job at his age!

I used to work with a number of Chinese college students in Lansing, Michigan. Nice kids. They'd take on American names to make it easy for us to pronounce.
Most were from wealthy families. In China it was common for parents to send the kids away to school at an early age. They hardly even knew their parents. I taught one Chinese guy how to swim. I was almost like a father to one Chinese girl. Most never had an adult take an interest in them.

I audited facilities in China for a very large aircraft company. The procedures required checking the work table legs for evidence of tethers, ropes and chain as well as any blood stains. Also verify the roof, basement, and outbuildings were not dormitories for kids. I found several 12 year olds building assemblies (forced) for navigation and comm gear. (Airbus planes are full of them.) BTW, the kids were also used for other things. It is real. Buy American.
While he is quite young - 6,7,8? - he's no toddler.
Not all that unusual in any country's rural communities. Drove my first tractor at 8 years old. I wasn't operating a front-end loader, though. As a matter of fact, I wasn't accomplishing much other than trying to maintain a straight line. The lines were fairly straight, but, do crisscrossing furrows count?

That is no toddler! He is 5-6 years old at least! Oops, Wolfsong beat me. :shock:

My dad quit school at 12 to work in a machine shop (depression). He started sweeping but the guys taught him machining and by 14 was a full time machinist. Did tooling design at Saginaw Steering Gear from about 1938 to 52 when we moved to Calif where he ended up being an aerospace manufacturing engineer for Convair, AeroJet and back to General Dynamics and finally Carrier. Taught manufacturing techniques in college and finally graduated HS in the late 70s. His boss at Carrier didn't think it was right for him to be teaching college without a HS diploma.
At 5 he was taking the bus by himself from Saginaw to his aunts farm in Midland to work.
China is where we were in the 20s and 30s. They are 100 years behind but it won't take them 100 years to catch up - since they are using our money and ideas.
