Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

No matter how future generations judge education, there is no doubt that going to school is the only shortcut to success for children from mountainous areas or poor families.

But the poorer the place, the more ignorant parents are, or it is not ignorant but more realistic. It is undoubtedly worse for families who are not already wealthy to pay their children's school fees. However, if the children do not go to school and do some farm work at home, it can also reduce the family burden.

.

You can't accuse these parents of being short-sighted, after all, they are still hungry. You can't expect them to have too many fantasies about the future. Filling their stomachs is their first need.

Therefore, aiding Hope Primary Schools in impoverished mountainous areas is not just about building the school and finding volunteer teachers. If parents nearby cannot send their children to the school, then the built school will be meaningless.

Every time a Hope Primary School is built, how to recruit students is a major difficulty in supporting education projects, because even if tuition and miscellaneous fees are waived, many parents are still willing to let their children work at home or herd cattle, rather than sending their students to school.

As for the nine-year compulsory education stipulated by the state, in their view, as long as they do not kill someone, it is not a crime, and there is not much deterrence in the legal understanding. It is natural for their own children to be beaten to death at their own discretion.

After trekking through mountains and rivers for more than four hours, Yang Dongxu, Yu Yi and others finally arrived at a place called Xiaotun Township deep in Liangshan. The township is actually a slightly larger village, with a population of thirty or forty households and

A small market.

After walking through the market for about ten minutes and walking up a gentle slope, you can see the red-brick and white-walled Hope Primary School. The five-star red flag is flying on the flagpole in the center of the school. It’s just a school that originally gave people hope at first sight.

, the wall to the west has some signs of being demolished, and now the gap is blocked by a wooden fence and looks like a scar on the white snow.

"What's going on?" The panting Yang Dongxu put down the heavy package he was carrying. Inside were exercise books, pencils and stationery, which were very heavy.

"The villagers demolished it." Yu Yi sighed.

"Huh?" Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows. He had personally participated in the volunteer education and Hope Primary School projects, and was familiar with some of the conflicts and even encountered some, but this was the first time he had heard of the demolition of the school.

"A villager's house fell down. He saw that the school building was quite strong, so he demolished some and went back to build the wall. He secretly demolished it bit by bit at night, and when he found it, it was already in this state. The school asked the villagers

The cadre negotiated and wanted to bring back the bricks he stole and put them back on, but he didn't agree. It wasn't worth carrying the bricks in from the outside, so we had to make do." Yu Yi said with a sigh.

It is not easy to build a house in the mountains. It is a big problem to use local materials and polish it with stones, and it is very troublesome to build a building. Therefore, when we aided in the construction of Hope Primary School, because the roads were different, tens of thousands of dollars were made to build the entire school. Bags of cement and

Each steel bar is carried or carried into the mountain from the outside of the mountain little by little by manpower.

Therefore, in order to repair such a hole, it is not worthwhile to carry bricks and cement from outside. And even if you carry them, they may not be used to repair the wall.

During the construction of the school, nearly one-third more building materials were used than expected. Why did the original accurate calculation exceed so much? Naturally, it was stolen by nearby villagers, who even hired nearby villagers to carry these building materials.

It's nothing new for them to carry it directly back to their homes instead of sending it to the construction site.

In their mind, since it is a donation, it is reasonable to use it to build a school or build a pigsty for their home. It was not until later after consultation with the local village cadres that they said that this is a government project, and those who steal and break the law should be shot.

The evil trend of petty theft and taking advantage has been suppressed, but from time to time things will still be lost in the school.

You can't blame anything for this phenomenon. It's useless to talk about these poor households who are still hungry in the fields. They know etiquette when they are in the barn, and they know honor and disgrace when they have enough food and clothing. They are still hungry.

When they are hungry, the only thing they think about is how to make themselves full. Everything else is meaningless to them.

When Yang Dongxu came to school, he didn't see his brother Leslie Cheung. After asking, he found out that three more children from deep mountains dropped out of school last week. After waiting for several days in school without seeing each other come to school, his brother went to the school in person dozens of miles away.

I went to the village to personally counsel the parents of the children.

"No, no, how can I charge money for the things my children use for school? If I accept them, I will get stabbed in the spine." The wrinkles on the faces of several people who look very thin have traces of time, but they bear the heavy burden of a family.

The man waved his hand, gave in to Yu Yifa's money, and left in a hurry without waiting for Yu Yi to say anything else.

Some people like to take advantage and steal things from the public, while others are so kind that it makes people feel bad. Maybe they don’t have enough to eat or wear, but if you explain the truth clearly and let them understand that going to school is for the benefit of their children, it can make their children have a better future.

Even when you can walk out of the mountains and have a full meal.

No matter how hard or tired they are, these parents are willing to grit their teeth and support their children in going to school. Some of them sneak home carrying building materials on their backs. Others don't pay a penny to build a school for their children, as long as they can manage the water.

"Next time you have nothing to carry, treat them to a meal in the city." Yang Dongxu waved his hand to stop Yu Yi from pursuing him.

"It will get better in the future, right?" Yu Yi turned her head. For the first time, Yang Dongxu felt from her red phoenix eyes not the coldness and charm of a different kind, but the trembling fear of the future like a frightened little animal.

Hope.

"It will be fine, as long as this generation can read and read, and go out of the mountains to see the outside world. Then their lives will not be nailed to the ground, and their children will live a better and more hopeful life." Although.

Every year, funds are allocated to the Yunyu Fund, and more and more are allocated every year.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But there are some things that you can’t see or experience with your own eyes. You will never be able to feel that heart-wrenching feeling. Although he hasn’t seen his brother yet, Yang Dongxu seems to understand that

Why do big stars come to this isolated depths of the mountains and never want to leave again?

The conditions of the school are very difficult. Although the school has been built, there are only three teachers assigned to support teaching. Including my brother, who has volunteered to help, there are only four teachers, but they manage five classes.

It is normal for a teacher to hold half of the class in this classroom, and six students to study by themselves in the second half of the class. It is normal for them to go to another classroom for the second half of the class.

When Yang Dongxu and Yu Yi arrived, the children were having physical education class in the afternoon. They looked at the smiling children chasing a football on the playground. After the physical education class, a child carefully wiped the football clean and put it back.

original place.

He couldn't help feeling that his nasal passages were a little sore, and he looked up at the blue sky. He seemed to have a deeper understanding of the need for high-level officials to develop the economy even if they made huge sacrifices. Poverty is a disease that plagues a country.

Only when this disease is cured can you have the capital to talk about other things.

When it was getting dark, my brother rushed back from dozens of miles away, accompanied by three children whose clothes were somewhat damaged, but whose eyes were so clean that they could see their own reflections clearly.

"When did you come?" He saw brother Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and asked the child to go back to the dormitory and walked over.

When building the school, we considered that it was very dangerous for children in mountainous areas to walk dozens of miles on mountain roads, so the school built student dormitories and had a canteen to minimize the time children spent traveling back and forth.

"Just arrived this afternoon."

"This batch of stationery arrived very timely. The children's pencils are almost used up and there is not much chalk left. If I hadn't gone to the mountains today to persuade parents to send their children to school, I would have gone to the town outside the mountains to carry them myself." My brother laughed.

Then he patted Yang Dongxu on the shoulder.

Compared to Leslie Cheung, who is dashing on the screen and the handsome brother in various award ceremonies and commercial performances. Now he is wearing a somewhat old Chinese tunic suit, with slightly longer hair lying on the top of his head, and his handsome face does not have that

Charming and unrestrained, with unconcealable weariness and exhaustion, but the smile on his face is so genuine.

"Didn't we arrange for someone to deliver it regularly?" Yang Dongxu frowned.

"There are not many ways for people to make money in the mountains. If there is such a fixed income, everyone else has an opinion. Some parents are kind-hearted and do not want to accept money. It is not good to bother others if they don't give money. After all, they still have money.

There is a lot of farm work to do and I have to support my family, so I carry it myself when I have time. Anyway, it only takes a day to go back and forth, and one carry is enough for a week."

My brother smiled and said, "What do you want to eat tonight? I have learned several good local dishes, especially the yellow sesame leaves and the ones learned from the villagers are very delicious."

In addition to being a teacher to his students and a coolie who traveled dozens of miles to the mountains, he was also a cook in the school cafeteria. Using his not very good cooking skills, he occasionally added some vegetables to the children who brought steamed buns or sweet potatoes from home as their weekly ration.

"Well, it tastes very good, especially the big dumplings." Yang Dongxu suddenly felt that it was unnecessary for him to persuade his brother.

"Expert." The elder brother turned around and glanced at Yang Dongxu unexpectedly.

"Don't look down on people, okay? I am also a child from the countryside. If it comes to yellow sesame leaves and pickled wild vegetables, my skills are definitely better than yours. I often help my mother do these things when I am at home."

Yang Dongxu rolled up his sleeves.

Yu Yi and the two village women hired to help started picking vegetables. In addition to a large number of stationery and books, the things they carried to the school this time also included hundreds of kilograms of flour. The children can have a good meal of white flour today.

Vegetable dumplings. How to find ways to keep children well fed is also one of the focuses of the school.

It's just that this kind of subsidy fund is too huge, even if Yang Dongxu increases his investment in Runyu Charitable Fund every year. Aids in building schools, paying teachers' salaries, free of charge for poor children, various books and stationery, etc., the amount is increasing year by year.

Annual expenses are high, so in terms of how to ensure that children have three meals a day, we can only do our best to the best of our ability, but we cannot fully guarantee it.
