In the remote and remote land surrounded by mountains, a winding road passes through the mountains and forests.

The road has been disrepair for many years and is dilapidated, which is difficult to move forward. Recently, it has been raining again, and the road is even more muddy.

There are steep mountain walls on one side and abyss on the other side. Even when the weather is sunny, the driver dares not be careless when driving on the road. What's more, although there is no danger after the rain, you still have to be careful.

One in front and one behind, two off-road vehicles slowly drove on this muddy mountain path.

Yang Yang and Su Ye sat in the back row of the rear car and were jogging forward.

They came to Yunnan two days ago. After a day of outing, they started to set off yesterday and headed to the mountainous area of ​​northwest Yunnan.

I first arrived in a county. After a night, I set off early this morning, but it was a distance of fifty or sixty kilometers. I arrived in an hour in areas with good road conditions. Not only was it muddy and difficult to walk, but I also encountered a traffic accident and congestion on the road. I walked all morning.

Originally, he and Su Ye were both full of leisure and leisure for the surrounding mountains and forests, but gradually, they both lost interest.

This time, they came to the mountainous area with the expedition team.

The inspection team belongs to a charity in Beijing. The purpose of their trip is to enter the mountain and inspect a mountain primary school.

The person in charge of this charity is a student of Su Wenhong. Su Ye’s senior, named Shen Jun, is a man in his thirties and has a good family background. After graduating from university, he once went to the mountainous area to teach. Later, he has been engaged in charity and is committed to helping children in mountainous areas improve the school environment and often interact with Su Wenhong.

At the beginning of the year, after Su Ye signed Armani, he filmed three movies and several advertising endorsements in succession. He earned a lot. After discussing with Su Wenhong, he decided to pledge a school, with an investment of about two million.

This time, they came to inspect the school.

...

In the poor mountainous areas, few outsiders come all year round. Suddenly, two big trucks 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, there are about 3,000 people in this village. Within a radius of one kilometer, there are three villages, but the scale is smaller than here, with only about 1,000 people. However, the children in these four villages are basically in the same primary school.

The average annual income of the surrounding villages is about 800 yuan, and their lives are very poor, but the enrollment rate is very high, reaching 100%, so there are many students in school, about 300 or 400.

In recent years, as more and more adults have gone out of the mountains and gone out to work, students have gradually become left-behind children. Many of them have basically no adults at home and are all boarding in schools, but the school conditions are extremely poor.

Just after the Spring Festival, most of the villagers had not gone out to work. When they heard that the charity organization that assisted the school was coming, they all followed them to come and came to see it. Village cadres and school leaders came to receive it.

Yang Yang and Su Ye both wore cotton hats and masks, and were not afraid of being recognized. However, when they got off the bus, they were a little stunned when they saw the situation at the school.

Sometimes language expression is very limited.

Along the way, Shen Jun told them a lot about the situation in this school, and they had imagined it, but when they saw it with their own eyes, they still found that they still underestimated it.

According to the introduction of school leaders and village cadres, the school has been around for more than 60 years. Thirty years ago, it built its current teaching building, which uses brick-wood structures, that is, the walls are brick-built and the roof covers are beams and tiles.

Due to disrepair, the beams and wood have long been decayed and damaged, and many walls are also tilted and cracks are everywhere. This is thanks to the frequent repairs of the village and schools, otherwise they would have collapsed long ago.

Yang Yang stood in the playground and looked at the two-story teaching building from afar. Not to mention the mottled walls, the windows were broken, and the ceiling gave people a feeling of being crumbling and might fall off at any time, which made people feel a little scared when they looked.

The school leaders are very heart-wrenching, or they are used to it, and smile and say that it is not in the way. They just strengthened it before the New Year.

Next to it is a single-story long brick and wood bungalow, which is the dormitory of school teachers and students.

There is also a small bungalow with a kitchen and canteen. Yang Yang looked over and found that the kitchen was made of firewood. The floor was just a layer of cement slurry. The white walls on all sides were yellowed and oil was everywhere. There was no way to talk about sanitation conditions.

When Yang Yang walked to the other side of the playground, he noticed that there was a small earth slope behind the teaching building. A wall was built with stones to reinforce it to prevent the soil on the hillside from sliding down during rainy days. However, in the age of time, the stone wall looked shaky. God knows whether the next heavy rain will wash it down?

If this wall is destroyed, the soil flowing down from the hillside will directly rush to the place where students play during class downstairs.

Yang Yang and Su Ye looked around and found that the conditions here were so harsh that they were far beyond their expectations.

Accompanied by village cadres and school leaders, Shen Jun took his colleagues to take photos everywhere because they were on-site inspection and decided to build a school, they would immediately formulate a construction plan, make a budget, and publish it online for fundraising.

This time, because Su Ye pledged the donation, they no longer needed to raise funds from the outside, but the process they should go and will still be announced to the outside world, but Su Ye's name will be hidden.

...

When Yang Yang and Su Ye returned to the playground, Shen Jun and others also came back.

"The conditions here are really bad." Yang Yang frowned.

But Shen Jun shook his head, "This place is good. According to themselves, there are worse things in their county than here, so the county government first gives the budget and money to others, and they have to line up behind."

"There are even worse?" Su Ye was surprised.

She has lived in Beijing since she was a child. Even if she had heard of it before, she was only heard of it. The photos she saw were just a glimpse of the leopard. After field investigation, she truly felt the poverty here.

"I don't know about other places. Among the several schools we conducted on-site inspections and assisted, the conditions here are indeed not the worst." Shen Jun shook his head and sighed.

"Every time we go to a place to inspect, the more we can experience the limited manpower and too many help is needed, but our ability is only a little bit, and we can only have a clear conscience within our ability."

Yang Yang and Su Ye looked at each other, feeling sad.

Reading on paper is always shallow. Only when you really come to the scene can you feel the poverty of the motherland.

"What are you going to do next?" Yang Yang asked with concern.

"After the field inspection, I will continue to stay in the county, negotiate with the county leaders, and determine the preliminary plan as soon as possible. After that, we will select a site, invite the construction company to plan and design, and bid and accept the project."

When Chen Jun said this, he looked at Su Ye, "After the initial plan was released, we should have raised funds online, but now Ye Zi said he wanted to pledge, so he saved some steps in the middle. From the current perspective, two million should be enough."

Su Ye nodded, "That's good. If it's not enough, tell me."

Chen Jun nodded with a smile.

"Brother Jun, I heard that many primary schools in mountainous areas are now being merged. Is it true?" Yang Yang asked.

Before he came, he also did some homework, including knowing Chen Jun and his charitable organization through Wei Zhen, and the brothers Chen Jun and Wei Zhen also knew each other and confirmed that Chen Jun was indeed a kind person who was enthusiastic about charity.

And now, Yang Yang really wants to know more about the situation.

"What you said is true, so some private donations will occur, and the school was built, but it was merged soon. The phenomenon of people leaving the building empty is also a problem."

Yang Yang deeply agrees.

A kindness is worthy of recognition, but it is useless.

"Our situation is quite special because we have connections with national charities, but we have no way to determine which ones will be merged, so we can only choose schools that clearly will not be merged and have this need to ensure that every penny we spend is needed."

"For example, the school we see now is surrounded by several villages, and there is only one school here. Over the past few decades, they have studied here. We have also had a preliminary understanding of the county. They promised that this place will never be merged. More importantly, the enrollment rate and admission rate of children here have reached 100%, and there are almost no dropouts."

Yang Yang nodded repeatedly when he heard this. He felt that Chen Jun and his team had a relatively mature idea and had almost taken into account all the issues that could be considered.

"In fact, we originally had a plan to train teachers in the aided schools, such as studying in schools in Beijing, or inviting well-known domestic teachers to school to improve the level of teachers and improve the quality of teaching."

"This is very good." Yang Yang and Su Ye nodded in a row.

Chen Jun shook his head and smiled bitterly, "No funds, our fundraising channels are still relatively limited now, and we lack resources in all aspects, so many ideas cannot be implemented, so we can only take it step by step."

Yang Yang understood.

Manpower is always limited, and there will always be times when you have the will but lack the ability, but the most important thing is to do your best and have a clear conscience.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt as if he understood something.

Isn’t Chen Jun’s situation very similar to what he is facing now?

Isn’t Yang Yang also facing such a dilemma?

He wanted to help Liverpool and to perform better, but the result was never improved.

He was very anxious before, but the more anxious he was, the worse he was. He was still carrying heavy pressure and burdens.

But now, as Chen Jun said, the manpower is limited, so you can only take it step by step, do your best, have a clear conscience, maintain a normal mind, and let it go. Maybe you can get back your state.

When he looked at Su Ye again, he suddenly felt that he seemed to have discovered the other side of Su Ye.
