Meet tragic little Huang Doudou.
At the tender age of just seven she is forced to work four nights a week as nightclub dancer to support her disabled parents.
While her schoolmates are tucked up warm in bed, Huang dons a leotard and high heels to perform in front of guests at the seedy club near her home in Urumqi, Mongolia.
Off to work: Seven-year-old schoolgirl Huang Doudou earns £80 a month to support her family working as a nightclub dancer

Wearing heavy make-up and performing four Latin-style routines a night she earns around £80 a month.
 
Huang was forced to step up when both her parents were left disabled - and she now supports the whole family.
Brave Huang said: 'It's fun but I don't finish until 11 o'clock at night and then I have to do my homework for school the next day.
'I like dancing and sometimes I get tips which helps pay the bills. Sometimes I get tired but it is a very good job.'
Doudou waits with her mother before going on stage at the seedy club. she performs four times a night, four nights a week for £80 a month

Poverty: Huang's mother does her hair before they set off on the hour-and-a-half journey to work. The family live in a small rented flat that is less than 12 square metres in size

Huang's mother cannot work after injuring her left leg in an accident while her father suffers from chronic gastritis, which makes it hard for him to find a job.
The family live in a small rented flat that is less than 12 square meters in size and is divided into two rooms.
Four times a week Doudou and her mother travel by bus to the restaurant where she dances, a journey that can take over one and a half hours.
She goes on stage at around 9pm and dances three numbers before heading back home and finishing off her homework.
