Chapter 123 Xiang's Hope Primary School
"As the CEO of Xiang's company, Xiang's company will take out 10% of its profits every year to do charity, and continue to support public welfare undertakings. ”
Applause rang out below. The two cheongsam beauties held out an enlarged photo board, which was an enlarged version of a * bank remittance slip. It's very dazzling to have so many zeros, and those who have good things really count how many zeros there are. The audience cheered. Applause rang out again.
"As the president of the Xiang Charity Foundation, the Xiang Charity Fund was established at the same time as the Xiang Company last year, with the strong support of the parent company Xiang Company, and the care of the majority of caring people, the Xiang Charity Foundation has achieved remarkable results, raising 6 billion yuan last year, of which Xiang Company donated 5.6 billion. ”
"Wow, Xiang's company is too good. Everyone in the room gasped. Xiang's company has been established for only a year, and it has donated 5.6 billion yuan in the Dragon Kingdom, which means that Xiang's company has earned a lot of money. They all have more assets than many companies, groups, and enterprises present.
The No. 1 leader was smiling slightly, and he praised Sun Ting's speech. Xiang Ming was also very happy when he stood next to him. Sun Ting did not live up to her expectations and did not spend her money indiscriminately, and the reason why Xiang Ming established Xiang's company was to do good deeds. Those who accumulate merit for themselves.
"Xiang Charity Fund has built 200 Xiang Hope Primary Schools in the past year, and there are 800 Xiang Hope Primary Schools under construction, and after receiving a donation of 5 billion US dollars from Xiang Company, it plans to add another 3,000 Hope Primary Schools. Let more children in remote mountainous areas have a good learning environment. Let's take a look at a short video, which is the Xiang's Hope Primary School that we have put into use. Sun Ting said proudly.
In a mountainous area in the west, there are majestic mountains and cliffs, and the river valley between the two mountains is forty meters deep above and below, and the river is rushing. Those present felt their scalps tingle when they saw this scene. If you are in normal times, you must think that this is a beautiful place, a favorite of travelers to explore. The camera changes to a ropeway across the river valley, and elementary school students row over the ropeway one by one to go to school on the other side of the river.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this primary school is located in the mountainous area of southern Qiannan, and this school has 220 students. It is the only teaching point within a radius of 6 kilometers. They had to climb mountains to get to school in the morning. We took this set of videos before we went to build the school. Isn't it bitter here? The villagers here have to walk more than 20 kilometers of mountain roads to catch the market. Below is this video called Liujiacun Hongqi Primary School. The narrator added a narration on the side.
A tiled school, the building of this school is still the kind of adobe tiled house built in the 60s of the last century. A dozen low-rise tiled houses are arranged in a circle, with a small playground in the middle. After all, on the top of the valley, there is very little land here, and this slightly larger flat land covering an area of 1.5 acres can be developed. The walls of many classrooms have cracked. In the south, the winter is very wet and cold, and the students have braziers in the classrooms. As soon as the camera turned, lunch began, and each student went to the large steamer in the cafeteria to get a square aluminum lunch box, which boiled the water and steam into a large wooden rectangle, two meters high. Width 2.5 meters. A steamer one meter deep. Each student brings an aluminum lunch box, and after reading in the morning, they put this lunch box inside, of course, they first wash the rice they bring and put it in the lunch box. After getting it to the big wooden steamer and lining it up, the teacher in the canteen of the loser began to boil the steamed rice.
At the end of class at noon. The students came here to eat their own lunch boxes. The guests present, and even the No. 1 chief, saw the students in the video dining and burst into tears. My heart is very unsettled. People who have not lived in the countryside have no way to appreciate the hardships of people somewhere. Not to mention the 10-kilometer mountain road you had to walk in the last school, it was a big risk to walk the winding mountain paths, cross the river by ropeway, and climb those cliffs. In many places, people are numb to watch. Not to mention that the conditions in this school are difficult. Bad food. Didn't you see that most of them are pickled vegetables and rice? In this Hongqi school, there are 220 students, only one principal is a formal teacher, and the other four are private teachers, and the salary of private teachers is less than 600 yuan a month. Five teachers teach 6 grades. One can imagine how onerous the task of teaching is. is both a Chinese teacher and a math teacher, and a part-time physical education teacher, a music and art teacher, anyway, he is an all-rounder. After class in the evening, students have to climb mountains and wade to rush home, especially the 5th grade students want to study in the evening, these students are even more difficult, why do they need to study late, in developed cities, to junior high school do not need to study late, that is, their teaching conditions are good, in the daytime classroom to learn, in the remote mountainous areas, the teaching conditions are poor, to change this backward teaching, can only use time to make up. Even if it was so hard, it did not stop the students from pursuing their studies.
Most of the students who studied at night did not go home, and it was dangerous to walk the mountain road at night, so they had to stay in the classroom, and they put the old desks, two or several together, and spread the quilts they brought with them to sleep.
All the guests present to watch this video were already in tears and breathing heavily. None of them spoke. In addition to the sound played in the large LCD TV in the lobby. There was silence. Silent.
The video turned. Exciting music plays. A bulldozer bulldozed a corner of Hongqi School. At the groundbreaking ceremony of this new school building, it was a sea of people. People who could come within a radius of several kilometers came, and the education bureau in the town, the county, and even a deputy county magistrate of the government also came to preside over the groundbreaking ceremony. The Xiang Charity Foundation will build 20 Hope Primary Schools in this impoverished county in Guizhou Province at once. Can it not attract the attention of the local government and attach great importance to it? Nearly 20 million yuan was invested, which is equivalent to several years of investment in education by the local government.
"Pat at it. The hall burst into applause. It's intense. "Okay, great. What Xiang wants is good. The guests in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, Xiang made a move, and there was hope for those students who studied in a difficult environment.
As soon as the video turned, it was already the inauguration ceremony of the new teaching building four months later. Red flags. The sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers shook the sky, and the three floors of this school were crowded with people who came to attend the inauguration ceremony.
The footage played in the video. A new three-story school building appeared on the hillside of the original school's small playground. There are 7 classrooms on each floor. The staircase is in the middle, and on each side there are three classrooms, as well as a classroom office. On the other side is a public restroom.
Not far from this school building, that is, on the other side of this playground, there is also a three-story complex building, which is very functional, and there is a hall on the first floor. This is the restaurant. The canteen hall of more than 100 square meters is equivalent to the size of two classrooms. This is the place for the students to eat. Didn't you see that this cafeteria is completely arranged according to the school cafeterias in the eastern region? Next to this complex is a one-story kitchen. There are more than 50 square meters. The kitchen is connected to the cafeteria hall.
The video screen turns. Hundreds of students, as well as faculty and staff, eat in this cafeteria hall. That's in order.
On the one-meter-high platform that was responsible for distributing the meals. Arrange 8 large dishes filled with white rice, as well as 3 dishes and 1 soup.
"At present, the three meals of Xiang's Hongqi Hope Primary School are provided free of charge by the Xiang's Charity Foundation, and the standard of meal supply for each student is 6 yuan. Lunch is two vegetarian and one meat, and the standard of the faculty and staff is the same. ”
