Reporter: Aaron is only 6 years old this year and lives in Liuzhou, Guangxi. He was previously diagnosed with HIV. With the help of many enthusiastic people, Aaron's living conditions have been greatly improved. , but currently Aaron’s enrollment problem is still unresolved. After his father passed away, the news that Aaron was HIV-positive spread in the village. In September this year, Aaron's grandmother sent Aaron to school for first grade. After learning about it, some parents wrote a joint letter of protest to the school. These opposing voices eventually blocked Aaron from the school, and where exactly Aaron should study became a problem for the local authorities. If Aaron is placed in an ordinary school, the feelings of other parents and children must be taken into consideration. However, there is still no educational institution specifically recruiting special children in Guangxi, and the issue of Aaron's enrollment has been put on hold.

Dr. Weng Yuqiu from the Liuzhou Center for Disease Control also told reporters frankly that in today's AIDS relief work, all work pressure actually comes from discrimination. The views of netizen "A Thousand Trees and One Leaf" also represent the aspirations of many netizens. He said that there may be many Aarons in this world. Compared with netizens' individual combat, a complete rescue system is actually more important to them. , and for each of us, overcoming fear and no longer being isolated and discriminated against may make Aaron truly feel warm.
