In China's darkest secret, millions of innocent "black children" live in shadows, products of forbidden affairs between Chinese women and African men. Branded as "tainted blood," these children face a lifetime of discrimination, rejection, and poverty. Unloved and forgotten, they are hidden from view, their existence a shameful reminder of a taboo past. Society shuns them, families disown them, and their futures are bleak. As children of shame, they navigate a world that offers them little hope or dignity.
