LJUBLJANA, May 7 (Xinhua) -- A record number of 42,680 Slovenian and international marchers have attended the 60th annual Walk along the Wire in Ljubljana in memory of the barbed wire that kept the city under the lockout during World War II.

The three-day event culminating on Saturday came to memorize the Victory-day of WWII in 1945, according to the report by Slovenian Press Agency (STA).

Some 9,700 hikers walked on Saturday the entire 35-kilometer circular trail tracing the wire around Ljubljana, with 3,200 taking shorter sections of the path.

The Saturday event was after thousands of kindergarten and school children walked smaller sections of the Walk around the Wire in the previous two days since May 5.

Apart from the people of Ljubljana, the event attracted visitors from Slovenia and abroad, as well as some celebrities, including Slovenian Prime Minister Miro Cerar, who walked a section of the route on Saturday morning.

Before heading out, Cerar issued a statement on his Twitter account saying the event was in memory of the tough times in which Slovenians rose up bravely against those who tried to crush them.

"I am confident that we are willing to join forces courageously again today," Cerar was quoted by the STA report.

The barbed wire around Ljubljana was put up in 1942 by the Italian occupying forces in order to stop supplies to the Partisan resistance.

Ljubljana was the only European city at the time to be locked out in such a way, a regime lasting for 1,170 days until the end of WWII in 1945.

Put up within three days in the length of almost 30 kilometers, the wire was lined with bunkers and minefields and patrolled by 2,500 troops.

CHENGDU Hydro Flask Coffee Pas Cher , Dec. 18 (Xinhua) -- An 8-year-old boy was banished from his home after more than 200 villagers in Xichong County, Sichuan Province, signed a joint petition to have the HIV-positive child removed.

Kun Kun (not his real name), received medical treatment in 2011 after his eye was injured.

"He had three blood tests and the doctor said the results were 'abnormal',"said his grandpa, 69-year-old Luo Sheng Hydro Flask 10 OZ Wine Tumbler Pas Cher , who had been taking care of him.

Bad news travels fast and soon the entire village knew of Ken Ken test results.

While his exile is controversial, family members and villagers both insist the child's destructive behavior, was the driving force behind the petition.

"He set fire to the hill," said a neighbor surnamed Wang. "He torched our haystack last year, and even attempted to set fire to the oil well."

Kun Kun's grandfather,who signed the petition first Hydro Flask 18 OZ Wide Mouth Pas Cher , while in the company of the child, recalled an instance when Kun Kun set fire to their own home. "Fortunately the fire was put out quickly," he said. "Otherwise, we would have nowhere to live."

He also accused Kun Kun of "stealing money from him and his niece".

Villagers warned their children to stay away from him. "They don't play with me," Kun Kun said. "I play with myself."

In the eyes of other villagers, he was a wild child.

"Kun Kun is a time bomb Hydro Flask 32 OZ Wide Mouth Pas Cher ," said He Jialing, who also signed. "Our kid is about the same age as him and now we have him live in the boarding school. Kun Kun is too dangerous. What if he bites our son."

Even Luo's elder son, who was with Kun Kun's mother at the time of his birth, seemed to have given up on the boy, ceasing to send money after he was found infected with HIV, Luo said.

Luo had no idea whom Kun Kun's actual father was. The mother was already three months pregnant when Luo's adopted eldest son met her.

After his birth Hydro Flask 40 OZ Wide Mouth Pas Cher , his mom went to work in Guangzhou together with Luo's son. It is not known whether they are still together.

His exile sparked an outcry in China on Thursday, with many protesting the move and urging people to stop discrimination against those living with HIVAIDS. Many internet users voiced understanding of the villagers' anxiety, but felt sorry for the boy.

Xu Wenqing, a specialist with the United Nations Children's Fund in HIVAIDS and children welfare, noted that it was the bitter reality that some Chinese people lack knowledge about the epidemic.

"One will not be infected simply by playing with Kun Kun," she said. "And the chance of getting the disease was next to zero even if one got bitten by him."

There were 497 Hydro Flask 64 OZ Wide Mouth Pas Cher ,000 people living with HIVAIDS in China at the end of October, and 154,000 had died following infection.

Xu recalls the situation ten years ago when discrimination against people living with HIVAIDS was a big issue. At the time, people perceived it as a "disgraced" disease, and infected people faced isolation.

With more education, however Hydro Flask 18 OZ Standard Mouth Pas Cher , the situation has since improved across the country. "But Kun Kun's story reminds us that more work is to be done," she said.

"In this case," she continued, "the biggest concern should be the boy's health condition. He should be given necessary medical treatment."

Li Hui, party chief of Kun Kun's village, told Xinhua that the civil affairs bureau of the Xichong county offered the family 600 yuan (about 96.5 U.S. dollars) a month from 2013 as living allowance. At the beginning of last month Hydro Flask 21 OZ Standard Mouth Pas Cher , the amount rose to 1,100 yuan.

"We also asked his family members to have screening each year," he said.

Wang Yishu, another village official, hoped that the boy would be accepted by a "special organization".

"We deeply sympathize with him," he said. "But it is scary to have such a boy in our village."

But Xu Wenqing said that the boy should grow up in his own home.

"We have had nursing homes for the HIVAIDS orphans Hydro Flask 24 OZ Standard Mouth Pas Cher , but later we found problems," she said. "They have no social connection and feel lonely. When they reached the age for schooling, no school would accept such a large group altogether."

"If Kun Kun's grandpa insisted on expelling him," Xu said, "he needs to go through a lega.
