0447 Torch of Hope
Children are amazing things.
How amazing is that?
In fact, most people who can ask this question have never seen those magical children. The magical thing about children is that they are fearless.
The ignorant are fearless. This sentence is reflected in the children to the greatest extent. They dare to catch all kinds of bugs in their hands and show them to you.
They dare to do anything that adults dare not do or are unwilling to do, including rolling in the mud. It is worth mentioning that the water in the mud comes from the children's own excretion system.
The children in Nagaril are similar. Every child in the orphanage is a little clay egg.
The director of the orphanage is a woman who looks to be in her fifties and wears clothes that have turned white after washing.
She also stood timidly with the children, facing the foreigners who got out of the car.
Yesterday evening, the local police chief found her and told her that important people from foreign countries would come here to see the children and donate some things, so that she could prepare in advance.
She had tried her best to get ready, taking out the clothes she usually couldn't bear to wear and putting them on, but she was still careless.
In just a blink of an eye, those clean children turned into little clay eggs again, and she was a little scared.
Witnessed by reporters, people, and cameras, Lynch walked up to the timid dean and stretched out his hand, "Nice to meet you, Madam dean."
The female dean stretched out her hand and looked at it. In fact, her hands were very clean. At least there was no dust visible with the naked eye. However, she still put her hand behind her back uneasily, rubbed it hard, and then held Lin Qi's hand. " Me too, sir."
Her voice is very gentle, but it actually bursts out sometimes, especially when the disobedient children make her mentally and physically exhausted.
Lynch felt her uneasiness and quickly let go of her hand. Then he looked at the people around him and introduced them, "I knew this place before I came here, and I learned a story that touched me very much."
The people around Lynch, the police chief, some local cadres, sergeants and some people in his company all showed expressions of listening attentively.
The reporters were also busy writing. Fortunately, Lynch's pronunciation was still standard, and it was clear that they would not be too late to write.
The people surrounding the door and those riding on the wall were all looking at Lin Qi. They were all curious about what Lynch, a foreigner, had to say.
"In order to take care of these children, Madam Dean has not married until now. This is great and touching, so I am here today."
"In today's society, whether it is the Baylor Federation or the United Kingdom of Nagaril, there are always some people who, invisible to us, silently give everything they have to this society."
"They don't want to move anyone, including themselves, with their silent efforts. They just think it's their responsibility and obligation."
"They are like torches, lighting up the darkest corners for us and sending warmth into the abyss of despair."
"Their actions made me see my insignificance. They are giants in the spiritual world, and I am just a small person."
"I can't do what they do, but I respect them, their attitude, their actions, their sense of responsibility."
"I can only help them in my own way, including more people who need my help!"
Lynch was not saying these words to the dean, nor to the ruling class around him. He was explaining to reporters and ordinary people the differences between himself and other foreigners.
"I want to donate a lot of things to the orphanage, some daily necessities and food. I hope these can help them."
The trucks not far away were unloading, and the workers moved very slowly, as if they were afraid that others would not see them.
As boxes after boxes of things were moved out, people kept exclaiming. Especially when some food and meat were moved out, there was even a circle of swallowing sounds around the orphanage.
Many people may only eat meat a few times a year. If bugs, rats, wild dogs and the like are not included in "meat", then they may only eat it once or twice a year, or two or three times a year.
There are also those bags of wheat kernels and gray flour, these things are full of temptation.
After demonstrating his generosity for a while, Lynch's voice brought people's attention back.
"In addition to these, I will also build no less than 20 hope schools locally and in all cities in the province."
"These schools will provide school-age children with the opportunity to attend school free of charge. They do not need to pay a penny to enter the school and receive education."
If Lynch's previous statement about donating things to the orphanage only made people feel some less obvious emotional fluctuations, then this sentence immediately made the emotions of the people outside begin to change.
Reporters were also stunned by the news, as the ruling class in Nagalir is typically devoid of money.
They gathered the wealth of this society and put it in their pockets, but they never thought of feeding back the society. They never provided any valuable and effective medical and educational services.
Even some of the public facilities they built became some kind of venue for distinguishing classes.
Only those in the ruling class and the privileged class can enter public facilities and enjoy "public" services and equipment.
No one has ever mentioned free education. If the number of schools had not become an assessment criterion, the management in some backward areas would not want to build schools.
If what Lynch said was not a lie, people would cheer the news enough.
People loudly asked Lynch if he meant what he said, when he would build the school, or if he was just talking...
It is never a lie that knowledge changes destiny, whether in the Federation or in Nagaril, although sometimes people have some misunderstandings about the meaning of this sentence.
At this time, Lin Qi suddenly lowered his head, and other people's eyes followed his lowering of the head and looked at his lower body.
A child, about two or three, or three or four years old, was dirty and couldn't tell whether he was a boy or a girl. He was shirtless and wearing a pair of obviously modified shorts.
He was not wearing shoes. Consumables such as shoes were a luxury for children. His left foot stepped on Lynch's shiny leather shoes.
A black and dirty little foot, even ordinary people would not think it was clean or cute, it soiled Mr. Lynch's leather shoes.
What's even more terrifying is that one of his dirty little hands grabbed Lynch's pants.
Will he suffer?
Seeing the rapid change of expressions on the police chief's face, and seeing the completely different expression changes on the faces of those around Lynch, everyone was worried about the child.
Lynch's hand has already reached out to the child, and people seem to be able to imagine that he picked up the child and then threw it away!
This is their understanding of foreigners. They love cleanliness, hate dirty children, and get angry over trivial things.
People prayed not to let bad things happen. The dean wanted to explain something, but was stopped.
But... the frightening scene did not appear. Lin Qi touched the child's head with his hand, then squatted down and picked up the child in front of people's surprised eyes!
He didn't push him away, he didn't hit him, he didn't scold him and tell him to get away, he just squatted down and picked up the child.
He calmly looked at those who had lost their composure, including the dean, and smiled softly, "I haven't had time to say just now, the reason why I named these schools Hope is because they will become our, the Nasdaq." Galil, the hope of becoming a famous nation."
"Children can learn advanced knowledge more systematically from an early age. They understand the world more clearly than we do, and they have the opportunity to change their destiny."
"What will change is not just their destiny, but also that of their families, as well as the entire nation and country. The destiny of everyone will change bit by bit."
"So I call them schools of hope. They are the torch of hope, carrying the flame of hope for this nation."
Lin Qi touched the dirty face of the child in his arms, which was covered with plaster, "This is the fire, this is the future..."
What he said was thought-provoking and touching. The dean even thanked God for sending someone to save her and the children. The reporters were also very moved. Except for those around Lynch, everyone seemed to Very touched.
Of course, at such a touching time, there are still people who find fault.
"Mr. Lynch, I noticed that you only donated some worthless things. Don't you, a rich man like you, plan to donate some money?"
There was a bitter sarcasm and ridicule in his tone. Food and daily necessities are indeed very important and expensive for ordinary people, but for rich people, these are really not valuable things.
The sergeant took a step forward and prepared to have the man searched out, but Lynch stopped him.
Still holding the child, he turned to face the gate and the ordinary people on the walls on both sides of the gate, who were also looking at him.
He didn't have the slightest fear, his eyes were magnanimous, "That's a good question, and I'm willing to answer it."
"There is a saying in my hometown that wealth not only makes people progress, but also makes people fall."
"It's stupid to donate money to the dean and these children in an orphanage without men or security guards. It will only serve as an inducement to push some people into committing crimes."
“But not food and groceries!”
"Some of you won't kill someone for stealing a morsel of food, but stealing money will make some of you do that!"
"I'm not stingy with the meager amount of money, I just don't want to get hurt or even lose my life because of money."
A reporter on the side could hardly help but praise, "You are such a kind gentleman!"
