Chapter 835: Seeing Fang Zhongda
Cheng Dong "reported" to Liu Lang about his work, and he was still a little restrained at the beginning, Liu Lang asked some small questions from time to time, and he answered them, so he became more and more confident, and his nervousness was gone.
In the past six months, the foundation has done a lot of things, in addition to bringing in a financial office on Hong Kong Island, it has also vigorously promoted itself, and held two "Hope Project" photo exhibitions in the capital, most of which were taken by Wang Nan with Ling Feng Many people feel that they are living a very hard life, and they can't eat meat if they want to, but the children in these photos don't eat meat, they rarely eat fine grains, and the food in their bowls is rice bran and weeds, and this kind of food is shocking even in China in the 80s.
There were a lot of photos in a conference room on the second floor, and Liu Lang deliberately went upstairs.
Liu Lang saw a picture of a child walking on a mountain path with a bundle of firewood on his back, the child looked like he was only seven or eight years old, thin and withered, and the firewood on his shoulders was stacked up almost higher than him, he raised his head to look at the camera, his eyes were as pure as a pool of clear water, a child who should have gone to school could only help his parents work in order to live, and if he didn't work, they probably wouldn't be able to survive.
There is also a picture of more than a dozen children sitting in a broken grass house with worn-out books reading aloud, seemingly studying, but the grass house grabbed the camera, because it has no roof, the roof was blown away in the wind, and it has not had time to renovate, in order not to delay learning, these children are studying in this house without a roof, and the principal went to the mountains to cut down trees, and must take advantage of the noon break to repair the roof quickly, otherwise the children will have no place to study when it rains.
There are too many such photos, even if Liu Lang is reborn in his first life, he is shocked at this moment, and Sun Hu on the side is even more dumbfounded, he knows that the life of the peasants is very hard, but he never thought that the life of the peasants would be so bitter, this is the real family with four walls.
Even Liu Lang was shocked by the photos, and others were even more indescribable.
"Mr. Liu, these two exhibitions let many people know that there are still so many poor people in our country, and we can still afford to eat and go to school, but these people, even survival is a big thing, and going to school is even more extravagant, because of these two exhibitions, the foundation has received donations from people from all walks of life and enterprises, and there are more than three million yuan in just half a year, which can allow tens of thousands of students to return to school. ”
Cheng Dong explained on the side, his tone full of pride.
"Yes, our country is a developing country, far behind those developed countries, but we are a united country, all ethnic groups are united, one side is in trouble and all sides come to help, as long as every city person gives a dollar to help them, these children can eat, go to school, maybe in 20 years, some of them will become scientists, become entrepreneurs, and contribute to our country and our nation. ”
Liu Lang said softly.
China now has a population of one billion, of which nearly 800 million are peasants, and most of the 800 million peasants live in poverty, and it is almost impossible for any country in the world to solve the problem of poverty for so many people in a few decades, but China has done it, from seven or eight years of reform and opening up to 20 years later, hundreds of millions of people have been lifted out of poverty throughout the country, and after 30 years, the life of peasants has made people in the cities yearn for it.
By solving the problem of poverty among 800 million peasants alone, China's reform and opening up is a miracle in the history of the world and something that other countries dare not even think of.
When Liu Lang left, he told the other party that if Wang Nan had something to do in the future, he could call his home, or he could go directly to Fucheng to find him.
Liu Lang returned to the capital on the fifth day, he took a special car to the core of the country again, the country will hold a celebration of reform and opening up in October, there are many seminars before, will invite many other countries to the political leaders and entrepreneurs to attend, Liu Lang came to participate in the high-level discussion of this year's economic stability of the meeting, he is a special guest, of course, many people think that he is an economist, can make a special speech.
The last time Liu Lang came here to preside over the meeting was Zhao Hongyang, and this time he has retired, and Fang Zhongda has become the helmsman of the country.
It was not the first time Liu Lang had seen Fang Zhongda, he had seen each other the last time he came here, but at that time he was still the chief official of the capital, and the two had not spoken.
Fang Zhongda is almost seventy years old, his hair is gray and gray, his spirit is very good, and he is very energetic, too, being able to become the helm of the country is the key to physical fitness, without good physical fitness, you can't sit in a position at all, and meetings can exhaust you to death.
"Liu Lang's children, you're finally back, we've been looking forward to it for two years......... old guys!"
Fang Zhongda was also very enthusiastic when he saw Liu Lang, and personally stepped forward.
"Hello Grandpa Fang!"
Liu Lang still considers himself a junior, he is a child, such a title is absolutely omnipotent, and it can make anyone feel kind.
"Haha, okay, okay, come, come and sit next to me!"
There is a special stool next to Fang Zhongda, which is taller than other stools, obviously for Liu Lang, a child, but now Liu Lang has grown up, and his height is more than one meter five, and he looks like a teenager, he is almost the same size as some of the old people present, so sitting on this specially prepared chair is almost the same as Fang Zhongda.
"Little guy, you're really a big kid now, and you're about to catch up with me in height, right?"
Sitting on the other side, Bai Weiren patted Liu Lang's shoulder, feeling that this little guy's body was also stronger.
"Yes! Liu Lang became the top student in the college entrance examination at the age of three, we all think that we have found a genius, as long as he studies hard, he will definitely become a scientist when he grows up, but his growth is too fast, far beyond our expectations, only five years have passed, he graduated from graduate school, and he has made such a big name in the United States, made a lot of money from them, and now he is back to develop the country's industrial undertakings, I can't imagine what he will be like in the future, who can imagine it?"
Fang Zhongda was in a very good mood and joked with everyone.
"We can't imagine it, but it shouldn't be a problem to win the Nobel Prize!"
A minister spoke.
"I don't think the Nobel Prize is nothing, many people around the world get this award every year, Liu Lang is unique, there is no second like him in the history of the world, right? When he grows up, he must be the best scientist in the world, just like ......... It's like there's a guy in America who loves what he loves!"
The other laughed.
