Chapter 381: Charity and Public Welfare
When Zhou Sheng arrived, it was more than two o'clock in the middle of the night, and the train was three and a half hours late.
They came from the filming location very few times, one direct train a day, all the others had to be transferred, the most powerful one had to be transferred three times, and one of them was the legendary slow train.
Zhou Sheng can drive, his driving skills are quite good, they brought too much equipment, it was inconvenient to transfer trains, and they couldn't buy direct tickets, so they asked Zhou Hao to pull a relationship, went to the army to borrow a car for them to send to the provincial capital, and then they could go directly from the provincial capital.
Of course, the car was not borrowed for nothing, it happened that the army had a propaganda mission, and their battalion commander was familiar with Zhou Hao, so he directly asked them to help follow the patrol car to walk around the sentry post and take a lot of photos.
Not to mention, what professionals shoot is completely different from what their army's own propaganda officers shoot, just like the gap between straight men's aesthetics and movie propaganda films.
The chief watched the effect of the finished film, finalized the case, and discussed with Amusement that the next promotional video would also be handed over to their team to do.
Although the amusement team rarely receives unit promotional videos, the military is different from other units. Yu Le has a special affection for soldiers, he himself was not able to be a soldier, if he can do something for them, he is very happy and feels honored.
The propaganda film of the military region has been almost filmed, but there will be a recruitment propaganda in the second half of the year, and various selections at the end of the year also require the troops to submit their own annual summary report, including video materials.
This is the idea of the chief, the location of their troops is very difficult conditions, but it is not obvious from the photos alone, but the propaganda photos taken by them break their inherent concept. The different framing, and even the different focus of the characters, can show the impact of the harshness of the environment on the fighters from the side.
It is said that they will shout that their mother's children have milk to eat. The same is true for the troops, there are as many soldiers as there are many sentry posts in the country, and the conditions are even more difficult, and it is not impossible for ordinary people to spend as much energy and effort as possible from the limited funds to improve the conditions for the soldiers' living, training, and housing.
They also specially photographed the greenhouse vegetable fields reclaimed by the soldiers themselves. The soldiers used their rest time to carry soil from afar, and then made planting boxes one by one out of waste wood and tin boxes, and built greenhouses with abandoned military tents, even if they only planted some drought-resistant vegetables, they could add some other colors to their lives and improve their vitamin deficiencies.
The camp is not large, with a concrete floor and two simple frames, which are the only physical activities in the soldiers' free time. You can't everyone squeeze together to play ball, so growing vegetables has become another way to relax.
On the contrary, no matter how big the wind and sand are, no matter how hard it is to carry water and soil, they look at the flowers that bloom with their nails, and they are all smiling like children.
The only photo taken of a soldier crying is in the vast edge of the Gobi, where all the woods that the soldiers had worked so hard to plant withered and died. The three newly recruited soldiers who took over the plantation knelt on the gravel and wept with tears on their faces. They said that the forest was left to them by the veterans who left last year, and that there were still 13 surviving saplings when they took over, but now there are no more, and they don't know how to explain to the veterans.
When this photo was taken, Zhou Sheng was still in the team, and he never thought that three tall young men would cry for 13 small saplings that would not survive if they looked at it.
After learning about the tradition of the soldiers planting trees to pass on to the new soldiers, Zhou Sheng made a decision, he planned to raise some funds when he returned to buy saplings that would easily survive and transport them to this outpost.
Amusement told him that in fact, many public welfare organizations in China are doing this part of public welfare activities. And planting trees in the desert doesn't happen overnight.
Zhou Sheng knew the meaning of amusement, and the other party wanted to tell him that doing public welfare is not a process where you want to do it today and tomorrow and you can see the results the day after tomorrow, this is a long-term, maybe a few years, more than ten years without seeing hope.
"In any case, it is possible to succeed only if you do it, and if you are not willing to do it, how can you have any hope of success?"
After listening to Zhou Sheng's words, Yule gave him a contact information, which is a public welfare organization specializing in desert afforestation. The other party has been doing afforestation for many years, and they are also very experienced, they are cooperating with local herdsmen, and the public welfare organizations help to buy tree seeds, and then plan how to plant them scientifically, and finally the herdsmen will implement them. With their help, the warriors should not be like this, planting a tree for several years and not surviving.
Zhou Hao and Zhou Wen drove to pick up their younger brother, and after receiving him, Zhou Sheng told Zhou Hao about it while he was still in the car, hoping to withdraw a part of the funds from his own income and allocate them to this public welfare organization.
"Okay, you can decide for yourself, as for the money, it's your sister Xin who is in charge now, just tell her directly. Are you sure that non-profit organization is reliable? Do you want to ask Sister Xin to help you inquire?"
"No, this is what Mr. You told me, I don't think Mr. You will deceive me in this matter, and he said that the non-profit organization is also in contact with the relevant state departments. ”
There is no mature and effective private foundation in this area in China, and even if there is, in this long-term environmental protection action, the power of the individual is still different from the power of the organization, so Zhou Sheng is willing to hand over the money to the public welfare organization to do unified planning and management, and does not want to hand it over to the private operation, and finally does not know whose purse it will fall into.
"It's good that you think clearly, and tell your sister Xin directly if you need anything when the time comes. I think it's a good thing to do charity, it's much better than you guys taking it to play in a car or something. ”
Zhou Hao also heard from a few of his good friends that now many second-generation officials have nothing to do, they play with cars when they have nothing to do, and they also play with some things that can't be touched. Then when something happened, he said that the elders in his family were so-and-so, as if they could be above ordinary people.
Zhou Hao has never met such a person, his friend who works in Kyoto encountered a fight a few days ago, both sides have a little bit of identity background, and in the end it became a competition of background strength.
Now that reform and opening up have achieved initial results, most of them are good, and people's lives have gradually become richer, but at the same time, some things that were rarely seen before have also emerged.
Zhou Hao had no way to manage other people's children, so he could only repeatedly emphasize to his younger brothers and sisters that he could not do something illegal and undisciplined under the sign of the Zhou family, and if he knew about it, he would definitely not leave them any affection.
The Zhou family's tutor is already very good, and the elders also pay attention to this aspect, and the children of the Zhou family, except for the youngest Uncle Zhou's daughter, have basically graduated from college and started working. Zhou Yu and Zhou Sheng are freshmen in society who are about to graduate, but their personalities are not the kind of arrogant and inappropriate gentlemen, although they are arrogant, they will not deliberately cause trouble. In contrast, I'm afraid Zhou Xiaomei is more likely to do some bad things.
