In the backcountry surrounded by mountains, a winding road runs through the forest.
The road has been in disrepair for many years and is in a dilapidated state, so it has been difficult to do. Recently, it coincided with the rain, and the road is more muddy.
On one side is a steep mountain wall, and on one side is an abyss. Even when the weather is fine, the driver does not dare to carelessly drive on the road, not to mention that after the rain, although there is no danger, but still be careful.
One after the other, two off-road vehicles slowly drove on this muddy mountain road.
Yang Yang and Su Ye sat in the back row of the latter car, bumping all the way.
They came to Yunnan two days ago. After spending a day out, they started off yesterday and headed to the mountainous area of northwest Yunnan.
First, I arrived in a county. After a night, I set off early in the morning today, but I ended up with a distance of 50 to 60 kilometers. I arrived in an hour in an area with good roads. It ’s muddy and hard to say. There was a traffic jam on the road. Walked all morning long.
Originally, both he and Su Ye were full of leisure and interest in the surrounding forest scenery, but gradually, they lost their interest.
This time, they were in the mountains following the expedition.
The investigation team belongs to a charity in Beijing. Their purpose of this trip is to go into the mountains and inspect a mountain elementary school.
The person in charge of this charity is a student of Su Wenhong. The senior student of Su Ye, named Shen Jun, is in his thirties and has a good family background. After graduating from university, he once taught in the mountainous area. Children improve the school environment and have regular contacts with Su Wenhong.
At the beginning of the year, after Su Ye signed Armani, he filmed three dramas and several advertising endorsements one after another. His income was very high. After consulting with Su Wenhong, he decided to pledge to a school with an investment of about two million yuan.
This time, they came to investigate the school.
...
In poor mountainous areas, there are very few outsiders coming all year round, and suddenly two big cars came. Although the road was covered with mud, it quickly attracted the attention of the whole village.
According to the information provided by Shen Jun before, there are about 3,000 people in this village, and there are three villages within a kilometer, but the scale is smaller than here, and there are probably more than 1,000 people. But the children in these four villages are basically all Study in the same elementary school.
The average annual income of the surrounding villages is about 800 yuan, and the life is very poor, but the enrollment rate is very high, reaching 100%, so there are many students in the school, about 300 or 400 people.
In recent years, as more and more adults come out of the mountains and go out to work, students gradually become left-behind children. Many even have no adults at home and are boarding in schools, but the school conditions are extremely poor.
Just after the Spring Festival, most of the villagers have not yet gone out to work. As soon as they heard that the charity organization that assisted in the construction of the school came, all of them chased to see it. The village cadres and school leaders came to receive it.
Yang Yang and Su Ye both wore cotton caps and masks. They were not afraid of being recognized. They just froze when they saw the school when they got off the bus.
Sometimes the expression of language is very limited.
Along the way, Shen Jun told them a lot about the school, and they had imagined it, but when they saw it with their own eyes, they still found themselves underestimated.
According to the school leaders and village cadres, this school has been in existence for more than sixty years. Thirty years ago, the current teaching building was built with brick-wood structure, that is, the walls are made of bricks, and the roof is made of beams. watt.
Due to long-term disrepair, Liang Mu has been decayed and damaged, and many walls are also inclined, with cracks everywhere. This is also due to the frequent maintenance of villages and schools, otherwise it may have collapsed long ago.
Yang Yang stood on the playground and looked at the two-story teaching building from afar. The wall was mottled, the windows were broken, and the ceiling gave people the feeling that they might fall down at any time. People look a little scared.
The school leaders have a big heart, or they are used to it. They smiled and said that it would not hinder them. They had just reinforced it the year before.
Next to it is a single-storey long row of brick and wooden bungalows, which are the dormitory of the school teachers and students.
There is also a small bungalow that is a kitchen and a dining room. Yang Yang probed it and found that the kitchen was burning wood. The ground was just swept a layer of cement slurry. The white walls on all four sides were yellow. There were oil stains everywhere. Nowhere to talk.
When Yang Yang walked to the other side of the playground, he noticed that there was a small earth **** behind the teaching building. A wall was made of stone for reinforcement to prevent the mud on the hillside from sliding down in rainy days. The wall seems to be crumbling, and God knows whether the next heavy rain will wash it down?
And if this wall is broken down, the mud that flows from the hillside will directly rush to the place where the students play in the classroom downstairs.
Yang Yang and Su Ye looked around. The harsh conditions here far exceeded their expectations.
Shen Jun, accompanied by village cadres and school leaders, took his colleagues around to take pictures, because after they went on a field visit and decided to build a school, they would immediately draw up a plan for aid construction, make a budget, and announce it Fundraising online.
This time, due to Su Ye's pledge, they don't need to raise funds externally, but the process should still be followed, and it will still be announced, but Su Ye's name will be hidden.
...
When Yang Yang and Su Ye returned to the playground, Shen Jun and others returned.
"The conditions here are really bad." Yang Yang frowned.
But Shen Jun shook his head, "Here is good, according to their own, there are still worse in their county than here, so the county government has given the budget and money to others, they will be behind."
"What's worse?" Su Ye was surprised.
She has lived in Beijing since childhood, and even if she had heard of it before, it was only heard, and the photos she saw were only a glimpse of the leopard. After the field visit, she really felt the poverty here.
"I don't know about other places. In the schools that we have field surveyed and aided, the conditions here are indeed relatively the worst." Shen Jun shook his head and sighed.
"Every time we go to a place to investigate, the more talented people we can realize the limited manpower, there is too much help needed, but our ability is so little, we can only be within our power and have a clear conscience.
Yang Yang and Su Ye glanced at each other, and they were all very close.
After reading it on the paper, I felt that I could only feel the poverty of the motherland if I really came to the scene.
"What are you going to do next?" Yang Yang asked with concern.
"After the field visit, I will continue to stay in the county and negotiate with the county leaders to determine the initial plan as soon as possible. After that, we will select the site, invite the construction company to plan and design, and bid for and accept the project."
When talking about this, Shen Jun looked at Su Ye, "After the original preliminary plan came out, we should have to raise funds online, but now Ye said he wants to pledge, and some steps have been saved in the middle. Look, two million should be enough. "
Su Ye nodded, "That's good, if not enough, you tell me."
Shen Jun nodded with a smile.
"Brother Jun, I heard that many elementary schools in mountainous areas are now being merged, is it true?" Yang Yang asked.
Before he came, he also did some homework, including knowing Shen Jun and his charity organization through Wei Zhen, and Shen Jun and Wei Zhen brothers also knew that Shen Jun was indeed a kind person who was enthusiastic about charity. .
Now, Yang Yang does want to know more about it.
"The situation you said is true, so there will also be some private donations, the school is built, and the result is that it will be withdrawn shortly afterwards, and the phenomenon of people going to the building appears, I think this is also a problem."
Yang Yang thought deeply.
Kindness is worthy of recognition, it is useless.
"Our situation is special, because we are connected with national charities, but we have no way to determine which ones will be merged, so we can only choose the ones that will not be merged, and there is a need in this regard. Schools, to ensure that every penny we use is where it is needed. "
"For example, the school we are seeing now, several villages around, just one school here, they have been studying here in the past few decades, we also have a preliminary understanding with the county, they promise that it will never The merger, and more importantly, the enrollment and promotion rates of children here have reached 100%, and almost no dropouts. "
Yang Yang nodded again and again. He felt that Shen Jun's ideas were relatively mature, and he almost took into account all the issues that could be considered.
"Actually, we originally had a plan to train teachers in aided schools, such as going to schools in Beijing to study, or inviting well-known domestic teachers to take classes in schools to improve the level of teachers. Improve teaching quality. "
"This is good." Yang Yang and Su Yeqi nodded together.
Shen Jun shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Without funds, our fund-raising channels are still relatively limited. In addition, we have insufficient resources in all aspects, so many ideas cannot be implemented, and we can only take it slowly step by step."
Yang Yang got it.
Manpower is always limited, there will always be times when there is more than enough, but the most important thing is to do your best and be conscientious.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt like he understood something.
Is n’t Shen Jun ’s situation very similar to what he is facing now?
Isn't Yang Yang facing such a dilemma?
He wanted to help Liverpool and wanted to show a better performance, but the result has never improved.
He was very anxious before, but the worse it was, the worse he was, and he was also under heavy pressure and burden.
But now I think about it, and indeed, as Shen Jun said, the manpower is limited. You can only take it slowly step by step, do your best, be conscientious, keep a normal heart, let the nature go, maybe you can find yourself more status.
When he looked at Su Ye again, he suddenly felt that he seemed to have discovered the other side of Su Ye.
He didn't know about Su Ye's pledge to the school before, and she never said.
