Chapter 712： There is only one disease in this world that can never be cured, and that is the disease of poverty

In 1937, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, Ludao University was relocated to Changting, a small town in western Fujian.

But after moving there, there was no electric light in the whole city, and there was no electric light for the students to study. The then principal, Mr. Sabendong, removed the engine from a car allocated by the government to generate electricity.

"My car doesn't matter, but there must be light for the book to continue," Mr Sabendong said.

What is a teacher, a teacher is like a beacon, illuminating the way forward for students.

Secretary Meng Bin is not the teacher of the children in Daluo Village, but he is their life mentor, allowing them to go to school.

"The flowers in the mountains don't care whether you look at it or appreciate it or not, and it will definitely bloom as scheduled next spring."

Secretary Xu Yonglin resolutely said: "Only by reading can children in the mountains get out of the mountains and get rid of poverty."

As he wrote on the application for joining the party at the beginning:

"Only when personal pursuits are integrated into the party's ideals will the ideals be more lofty. If a person wants to live meaningfully and live with value, he must not only live for himself, but use his own strength to serve the country and the nation. , contribute to society.”

Secretary Meng Bin completed half of the poverty alleviation in Daluo Village, and the remaining half was his lifelong dream.

The next step for poverty-stricken villages to get rid of poverty is rural revitalization. He will take root in Daluo Village until Daluo Village realizes that the old can be depended on and the young can be taught.

"Secretary Meng Bin's story reminds me of a person." A person appeared in Chen Hao's mind.

"Who?" Secretary Xu Yonglin asked.

"Mr. Tan Kah Kee."

"Mr. Tan Kah Kee?"

Chen Hao sighed, what happened in Daluo Village was a microcosm of what was said in the form back then?

"On July 13, 1919, Mr. Tan Kah Kee delivered a speech on Ludao in the history of advocating the establishment of Luda: Today's national situation is as dangerous as eggs. Therefore, the only people who rely on it to maintain it are the education of the Fang Xing and the hearts of the people who are not dead."

The meaning of this sentence is: the national crisis, the national situation is in danger, when the country is in danger, the only way to save China is to revitalize education and immortal people's hearts.

The core is "education to save the nation".

At the opening ceremony later, Mr. Tan Kah Kee also said a classic saying:

[The people's hearts will not die, and the nation's veins will still exist. With a nation of 40,000,000 people, there is absolutely no reason to be willing to live under the people. If you don’t reach today, there will be days to come. If you don’t reach your body, you will still have descendants, such as Jingwei’s reclamation of the sea, and Yugong’s moving mountains. 】

Chen Hao said slowly: "The prosperity and strength of a country depends entirely on the people; the development of the people depends entirely on education; if education is poor, industry will not thrive."

Mr. Tan Kah Kee founded Ludao University in Ludao to revitalize the country with education;

Secretary Meng Bin actively promoted the establishment of kindergartens and primary schools in Daluo Village, and wanted to use education to revitalize Daluo Village.

Why does the country attach so much importance to education?

Education is the cornerstone of a country.

Those who claim that "education is useless" are both stupid and bad!

The two talked all the way, and they didn't feel tired when they climbed the mountains. On the contrary, Xu Guangtai kept up with the politics class and benefited a lot.

In my heart, I made up my mind that if I have a child in the future, I must let him study hard and become a person who is useful to the society and the country.

Just over an hour after leaving the village committee, Chen Hao and Xu Yonglin finally arrived at their destination.

Secretary Xu Yonglin has been in Daluo Village for four years. The situation of every household in the village is deeply imprinted in his mind. He stepped forward, knocked on the door, and shouted:

"Monkey, I am your Uncle Xu."

After a while, the door opened, and a short-headed boy wearing a Hongxing Erke logo T-shirt appeared.

Looking at Xu Yonglin, the other party's eyes have obvious dodge.

"Uncle Xu, Er and Erhu are not here with me."

Xu Yonglin and Chen Hao looked at each other and both laughed.

Guys, don't make a fool of yourself!

"I haven't even opened my mouth yet, but you already know what I'm going to ask?"

Xu Yonglin frightened and said: "Monkey, if you don't tell me, then I will sue your father. When he comes back from work, I will beat you up!"

Ji Kequyi's neck subconsciously shrank, and his consciousness shook, but he finally gritted his teeth: "Uncle Xu, I really don't know where Erhu is!"

"Hey, this kid is quite righteous," Xu Yonglin laughed angrily and greeted Chen Hao directly: "Principal Chen, Erhu is probably hiding here, let's find it ourselves."

Chen Hao nodded, "Okay."

The three of them went straight in to look for A Zi Rijie's figure.

As for Ji Kequyi, who just stood aside and watched, he had done his best before he spoke anyway.

ten minutes later.

Although the Jikqu family is a brick house, it is like that. The three guest rooms and one living room have no painted walls, and the red bricks are exposed, maintaining the original Syrian style.

Because there is nothing, it is basically difficult to hide people, but Erhu still could not be found.

"This stinky boy, where did he hide?" Xu Yonglin stood there and turned around, it was really strange.

Even the latrines were checked, and there was no one at all!

Chen Hao walked over with Xu Guangtai, "Secretary Xu, where is the monkey's family not searching?"

"I've searched... Wait!" Xu Yonglin's eyes lit up, and he said quickly, "I know where this kid is hiding!"

"where?"

"sheep pen!"

Chen Hao's eyes widened, the sheep pen was so dirty and smelly.

But when the three of them came to the sheepfold next to the brick house, they found each other in the corner.

"Pain Pain Pain!" A Zi Rijie, who was pulled by Xu Yonglin's ears, shouted in pain, and a mask of pain was put on his face.

"Uncle Xu, let go, it really hurts!"

Standing at the door of the brick house, Xu Yonglin snorted coldly, "Then you still drop out of school?"

"Just drop out of school!" Aziz Rijie shouted stubbornly.

"How did you promise before your grandfather died that you would study hard and walk out of the mountains, and now you have changed your mind?"

Xu Yonglin was really annoyed, he let go of his hand and roared at Aziri: "And Secretary Meng Bin, when you had a high fever in the middle of the night, who was carrying you to town under the heavy rain and risking his life on his back? The health center?"

"You are the first student after the establishment of Daluo Primary School, and you have the best grades. If you drop out of school, will you be worthy of your grandfather, Secretary Meng Bin, and everyone?"

"The tuition is not enough, with your Uncle Xu!"

"Why did you drop out of school?!"

The boy standing in front of Xu Yonglin was already in tears at this moment, and two lines of tears flowed silently.

"I know I shouldn't drop out of school, but my family is poor, my grandmother is in bad health, and my father is unreliable."

"There is no source of income at home, so I can't always rely on Uncle Xu and the uncles and aunts in the village for relief."

"I'm 16 years old, I'm an adult, I want to go out to work, I can also support this family!"

"I can't lose my grandma any more!"

Aziz Rijie bit her lip did not cry.

But the persistence in his eyes was so determined.

Grandpa passed away, his father was a gambling dog, and his mother ran away early again. A Zi Rijie was left with only one grandmother to depend on each other.

Xu Yonglin's eyes were red and his eyes were already wet. He opened his mouth, but said nothing.

What can he say?

He is just an ordinary person, with four elders above and children below.

Facing the situation of A Zi Rijie, he was completely at a loss.

There is only one disease in this world that can never be cured.

That is poverty.
