Chapter 127: True and False

The more Johnson listened, the more serious he became, and as a person who experienced many things, he felt more deeply, but when he heard it face-to-face, he still had mixed feelings in his heart.

"I have received several groups of expert teams, two of which are teams led by master's supervisors from well-known universities in China. I had a painful communication with them, I don't want to remember the specific process, and the whole thing feels like a classic historical story......"

"When Emperor Sima Zhen of Jin Hui was in power, there was a famine, and many people starved to death. Emperor Hui of Jin was in the deep palace, and after listening to the minister's report on the starvation of the people, he proposed a solution: the people have no corn to satisfy their hunger, so why not eat minced meat?"

Ding Wei said with disdain: "Some so-called experts are very similar to Emperor Jin Hui, he lives in the deep palace, and he doesn't know the inside story of the industry and the first-line hardships at all. I have designed a lot of plans behind closed doors all day long, and after preaching many times by myself, I really think it is the truth?"

"If they only say something that is not grounded, it is not terrible, what is terrible is to do research on behalf of the relevant departments, and they will also make plans for the relevant departments, and these plans are to be used to directly guide practice. Later, I read the plan they made, and my heart was so cold. ”

"It's very similar to the economic companies behind some stars in the entertainment industry, who will use the news to hype up after a while, and use scandals if there is no news, anyway, they must maintain exposure in the eyes of investors and the public, which is conducive to receiving film contracts and getting higher salaries. ”

In the end, I can only get a sad conclusion: no matter how big or small the experts are, it is good to be down-to-earth, it is better not to mislead the relevant departments, it is best not to mislead the public, and it is absolutely the conscience of the industry to keep their mouths shut and not speak. ”

After hearing this, Johnson couldn't help but smile bitterly, and a sense of sadness arose.

"Experts actually know very well in their hearts that what the relevant departments really want is not a report on discovering problems, analyzing problems, and solving problems, but the authority, reasonableness, science and correctness behind the report. ”

"If this expert doesn't know how to do it, he must write his own insights in the report, so that the relevant departments are not easy to solve, difficult to operate, and can't get off the stage, it can only mean that this expert is a stunned young man, but will the real stunned young man be mixed with experts?"

"Usually you are well versed in the world, people invite you to come to play a play, you are so uncooperative, can everyone still play happily together in the future?"

"No one is stupid, he knows it, and happily takes his master's and doctoral students around the country, and he doesn't have to do the work himself, just show his face. I do a few projects a year, and I can easily get two or three million of them, which is called project fees, consultant fees, and project fees, which are actually the remuneration for acting!"

Ding Wei let out a long breath, and the two fell into a short silence, and then came back to their senses and said: "In fact, any industry, after a period of development, will be multipolarized. The public welfare industry is no exception, but this differentiation of the domestic public welfare industry seems to be too fierce and the contrast is too great. ”

"Some institutions and practitioners seem to be above the clouds, while we, the grassroots, are under the abyss, everyone is busy with their own things, the clouds do not know the suffering of the abyss, the abyss does not know the cold of the clouds, and the day does not know the darkness of the night. ”

SC Johnson understands that the so-called cloud mainly refers to institutions or funds with official backgrounds, while the abyss is a grassroots organization that is struggling to survive. The former is tall, the latter is short and poor.

To be able to work in foundations, especially in international foundations, foreign languages are usually a basic requirement, and master's and doctoral degrees are also common. For many grassroots organizations, those who have been struggling for a long time to survive and have no food to eat are the ones who are willing to endure hardships as long as they have two legs, those who can breathe and are willing to endure hardships.

"At the end of 2014, the non-public foundation development forum was held in Beijing, and an industry boss swore that if there was an earthquake here today, the domestic public welfare undertakings may be set back ten years!"

"It's ridiculous that around the same time, a group of grassroots NGOs are gathering to see themselves as the mainstay of the industry. For example, in the past few years, it was difficult to raise funds for children's projects, but later on a major disaster, a lot of fundraising, so the fund has since greatly reduced children's programs and focused on disaster relief projects. ”

"In our grassroots view, isn't the main consideration for the strategic adjustment of your foundation just money? For the sake of money, you can stop the projects that were packaged all the time, and then change yourself into such a tall and tall dress, so what is the difference between doing things and profiteers pursuing profits?"

"In the United States, the annual salary of the head of certain foundations is higher than that of the president. In China, the annual salary of a fund manager may be counted in 100,000 yuan. And this may be the annual operating expenses of a grassroots organization, not to mention the team, work environment, circles, and connections...... Not a level at all. ”

Ding Wei shook her head and said helplessly: "Forget it, even if you listen to this kind of big truth, it is of no practical use." ”

Johnson stood up, poured a full cup of coffee, and asked, "How do you screen the recipients?"

Ding Wei took it with both hands, expressed her gratitude, and said seriously: "There are usually several standards, and children who dare to take the initiative to provide student ID, teacher's contact information, household registration book, and contact information of the local police station have a high probability of being in dire need of money to save their lives." ”

"Having food is far more important to them than privacy, and as orphans with four walls, there is really nothing to be cheated of, except in the case of human traffickers. ”

"Children who cry that they have no money to eat are 100% liars, because children in distress have been in trouble for a long time, in fact, it doesn't take too long at all, and the embarrassing environment of a few months of life soon becomes a serious lack of self-confidence, wooden speech, unclear speech, and chaotic logic. ”

"I still remember that the first person I rescued was a ten-year-old peacock, the little girl in the picture. Ding Wei took out her mobile phone, showed the photo and said: "Her mother is missing, and her father is severely disabled and can't do anything." Despite the four walls of the family, the girl is still the pearl of her father's palm. ”

"That infatuation is something that no one who is a father can fully understand. Even though he was penniless, he still believed that only the best in the world was worthy of my daughter. ”

"Every winter, there is not even a little heating equipment at home, and in the northern region, every day is as difficult as a long winter. In the end, he had no choice, and the father posted on the Internet to give the child to others to raise. ”

"posted twice in a row, God has mercy on the father and daughter, no one wants to adopt the little peacock. Later, my father found me hoping to help solve the heating problem, and the next day I mailed the Midea oil wattle electric heater on Taobao, considering that the electric heater is a large piece and the express delivery cycle is long, and Taobao sent thermal underwear and hot water bottles on the same day. ”

"In the middle of this incident, there are two things that impress me: the little peacock father is not greedy at all. After sending these heating supplies, I asked him if he lacked anything else. I thought he would say that there is a shortage of this and that, at least the electricity bill is ironclad, because electric heaters are very expensive to heat. ”

But in fact, he always answered very simply: there is no lack, nothing is lacking. But I'll still send things that I think they might be lacking. In contrast, some of the children who came to me later, every time I asked him what he lacked, the answer was money. ”

"After paying a lot of tuition, after investigation, I finally realized that I was not an orphan at all, at most it was a little difficult at home. ”

Ding Wei looked at the girl's satisfied smile in the photo, and said emotionally: "Dad always only mentions his daughter, never mentions what he needs, as long as his daughter is well fed and clothed, he will be satisfied." Hey, he may be just a humble and severely disabled person in the eyes of others, but as a father, he is absolutely great!"

Johnson's eyes suddenly turned red, and he felt that he couldn't help crying, so he quickly gritted his teeth, held on, and clenched his hands tightly.

Ding Wei sensitively found Johnson's abnormality, after all, when they met for the first time, they didn't dare to ask more, so they could only change the topic and say: "Do you know what the children in the underdeveloped areas of the volunteer teachers think of the volunteer teachers?

"On the first day, I came to the mountains full of hope and passion with the dream of changing the children's lives, but on the first day of work, I was directly asked: Teacher, when are you leaving?"

I said, "I'm not leaving!"

Students: No!

I was puzzled and asked: why not?

Students: Every teacher in front of me is leaving in a few months.

I promised: I'm not like them, I'm not leaving!

The students were silent for a long time and said in a low voice: There were teachers who said this before, but in the end they all left......

We can't believe it......
