Chapter 242: Walkers Without Borders 52

After finishing the charity trip in this impoverished mountainous area, Chen Feng did not return home immediately. And continue his own itinerary, and go deeper inland, but some areas in the central part of the country were temporarily changed by Chen Feng and placed at the end of the itinerary.

Chen Feng's reason is simple, because poverty in the inland areas is more serious and there is a greater need for assistance. And the people in the team had no opinion on Chen Feng's reaction after the stimulation of this second stop of the field trip. To do charity to help others, of course, is to help those who need it most.

Obviously, the poor mountain villages they have visited and seen before are not the poorest people in China who need the most help. The whole team knows this after so much popularity. Many people know that the current poor areas in the country are in the southwest region.

Therefore, Chen Feng did not arrange the itinerary according to the distance of the distance this time, but directly led the team to the Guiyun area in the southwest.

It is located on the plateau, and the karst landform of Stert is widely distributed, the land is scattered, barren, broken, and the cultivation conditions are poor. And the poorest in this region is the Mong Oo Mountains. This mountainous area spans more than 30 counties in three provinces, and can be said to be the most concentrated extremely poor area in China.

Chen Feng's convoy traveled for more than 20 hours before it reached this mountainous area. But at this time, except for Chen Feng, it can be said that everyone is sleepy and tired, and their spirits are very tired, even Haruko, who is a ninja.

As a result, Chen Feng had to order a rest in the nearest town. Chen Feng has been conducting such high-intensity on-site visits and inspections for more than a month, and the personnel of the entire team have been "reduced" by almost one-fifth. This is also a matter of no choice, although the people selected this time are basically in good physical condition. But after all, none of them are special forces. Such a high-intensity activity down. Climb and walk on these mountains every day. Even the local mountain people couldn't bear it.

Fortunately, Chen Feng actually doesn't need too many people on his side, and there are also reserve personnel to replenish, and those who have been temporarily reduced can still come back to continue their charity trips together after recuperating and recovering. And these will not give up until they are seriously injured or simply can't hold on. In addition to being able to carry out activities with Chen Feng, a big star, it is worth showing off. What's more, they are now following Chen Feng and feeling that this is a great feat that is very meaningful and even worthy of lifelong remembrance.

They were able to personally participate in this grand event initiated by Chen Feng. Undoubtedly, they are all very lucky, and they are also worthy of pride and pride. Naturally, it will not be missed in vain. Therefore, many personnel who have been temporarily reduced will return to the team as soon as their bodies recover, for fear that their places will be occupied by others.

Chen Feng's own team is working so hard, not to mention the domestic and foreign reporters who have been following their team. At the beginning, many reporters could still insist on following his ass for on-the-spot interviews because of the news of Chen Feng, a big star, and went to the poor mountainous areas where Chen Feng had been to conduct interviews.

But after Chen Feng arrived at the mountainous area of the second stop, these uncrowned kings couldn't hold on. Chen Feng's second stop was only halfway through, and the reporters who followed him were defeated and retreated more than half. Among them, domestic journalists are the most numerous, but foreign journalists are the only ones who take the initiative to retreat. Thinking about it, many of these foreign journalists sacrifice every year, and they have the spirit of not being afraid of death or hardship. Sometimes, for the sake of news, they can't even care about their own lives. This point of suffering is naturally no longer a problem for these reporters stationed overseas.

Correspondingly, some domestic reporters still eat imperial grain, and they often lose their motivation and fighting spirit to make progress and ensure their harvest during droughts and floods. Moreover, because of the special national conditions, they cannot have as much freedom as foreign journalists, and it seems that they are a little pampered.

And now Chen Feng has come to the poorest area in China, and it is such a long journey, which makes many reporters who have followed him even more miserable.

Chen Feng didn't pay much attention to the reporters who followed him, and the first thing he had to think about now was how long he would stay in the poorest mountainous area, and then how to implement the plan that only he knew about the most important destination of the charity trip.

It's just that not long after Chen Feng settled in this town, the local steward rushed over after hearing the news, and he took the lead or the first and second leaders in the county. Chen Feng has experienced this situation many times before, and Chen Feng has begun to get a little tired of it, but he also knows very well that if he wants to get better charity assistance in the local area, he cannot do without the support of these local stewards. Therefore, I can only cheer up and deal with it. just politely refused their banquet, saying that he would enter the mountain early tomorrow morning. If they want to help, they can help find a few local guides.

Chen Feng also declined their request to personally accompany them to climb the mountain. Chen Feng has experienced many times before, and he has been dragged down by these pampered stewards during the journey. Most of these mountainous areas are not accessible to traffic, and the better ones can also go up by motorcycle, and most of them can only walk on two legs. Those of them who are accustomed to sitting in the office can not stand to follow the mountain for several days in a row. In such a situation, many local stewards can only hold out for a day at most, and then they make excuses not to accompany them.

But in this way, on the first day, it also dragged down Chen Feng's entire team's itinerary to some extent, not to mention that there would be a few dead-eyed managers who insisted on following. That is even more of a burden for Chen Feng's side, and even when conducting on-site inspections, it will be a little in the way, and even some behaviors and tones of speech will cause disgust to those poor households in the local area, and even Chen Feng's side will be damaged and angry.

Therefore, later, Chen Feng simply refused to accompany these local managers.

After resting in the town for one night, the whole team immediately followed the information they had collected and the map to visit the mountainous area with the largest concentration of extremely poor households in the country.

Because of the road. Naturally, four-wheeled vehicles are not allowed to enter the mountains. A mountain road where motorcycles can barely pass. And because of the insecurity, plus so many of them. We had to give up, and we could only walk on our own feet into this large area of unsightly ravines and ravines at the beginning.

The first stop is to let everyone walk for more than two hours on the mountain road to arrive, here is actually to say that the straight-line distance from the town is not very far, according to the map, that is, five or six kilometers of appearance, but because the terrain here is basically "three miles and five flatlands", the mountain road leading to the village is winding and winding, and it is extremely difficult to walk. And everyone can clearly perceive that the mountain road here is more primitive than the two large mountains that everyone has done before. Basically, they have not been effectively repaired.

In the two mountains that we have walked before, at least most of the mountain roads are paved with stones from the mountains, but just now, most of the mountain roads here are just very primitive mountain dirt roads, not stone roads. This kind of road is basically very difficult and dangerous to walk on a rainy day, muddy and slippery, and you can roll off the cliff if you accidentally fall.

Fortunately, this time they came, and it was a beautiful day, and it didn't rain on the same day. It's a cloudy day.

But when Chen Feng and his entourage came to this first village, the scene they saw in front of them was even if everyone was mentally prepared. I couldn't help but be deeply shocked. It can be called dilapidated, completely like a primitive village, there are only a few brick houses in the whole village, and the rest are dilapidated mud houses, and there are not many such houses covered with tiles, most of them are paved with thatch. Even many houses are thatched and wood-paneled houses.

There is not even a hint of modernity in the village, the roads are all potholes, and there is no place to see where there is cement. Such a scene, similar to what everyone saw in the other two mountainous areas before, made everyone a little unbelievable and unacceptable.

Compared with the situation here, the extremely poor villages you have visited before are really the difference between Europe and Africa.

Everyone was shocked for a while before they came in, and even if they couldn't believe their eyes, they couldn't help but believe the facts before their eyes.

This village is equivalent to two completely different worlds from the town they came to before, and compared to the provincial capital where they were only more than an hour away from this town, it can be said that there is a difference between geography and paradise.

In fact, the geographical distance of the provincial capital here is not very far from here, and it even belongs to the administrative jurisdiction of the provincial capital, but in the provincial capital is completely a place of drunken money and high consumption, and here everyone sees such a dilapidated and poor scene, this difference is too big, so big that everyone dare not imagine.

After more than ten minutes, everyone slowly collected their moods, and walked into this village comparable to a primitive tribe with a heavy heart, and at the entrance of the village, everyone first saw a group of dirty mud monkey-like children, the oldest was only ten years old, and the youngest seemed to have just learned to walk. There were more than a dozen of them, but none of them were dressed cleanly, only the difference between very dirty and dirtier. Their image is even more sloppy and dirty than those homeless people occasionally seen in the city, and they can't help but feel sad when they see this group of people with such an image.

Children are always the mildest weakness in people's hearts. Talking about children was originally a kind and warm thing, but when everyone walked into this poor and backward ravine and saw such an image of children, poverty became a heavy topic. The children in the city are the treasures in the hands of their parents, and they are afraid of falling in their hands and holding them in their mouths for fear of melting. The children born in this remote and impoverished mountainous area, they have become good friends with the soil, crops, fields, mountains, and frogs since they were young, they began to worry about their livelihood at a very young age, they began to help their parents with farm work at a very young age, and they knew how to feel sorry for their parents and siblings at a very young age...... Despite their efforts, they often don't have enough to eat and don't have enough clothes.

There are hardly any adults in this village, and these children are undoubtedly so-called left-behind children. There are very few women in the team, looking at these dirty children looking at them with all kinds of innocent eyes with curiosity, timidity, and envy, and they can't help but moisten their eyes on the spot. Even some of them cried softly on the spot.

Everyone's mood suddenly became even heavier, only the accompanying guide from the town was normal, and he stepped forward to ask the children in the local dialect on the spot, and asked them to call the village cadres over.

A few older children agreed, and ran to a few people. The rest stayed and looked at the group curiously.

Several women saw two of them, only three or four years old, eating baked sweet potatoes with dirty hands, and couldn't help but take out the potato chips they had brought for them to eat. Immediately, it attracted the envy of several children around to swallow saliva.

Seeing this, everyone did their best to bring some snacks to distribute to this group of children. The happy group of children is like the New Year.

Now the people on Chen Feng's side also have some experience, and every time everyone enters the mountain, they will spontaneously bring some snacks or daily necessities in advance, so that they can help these poor people in the mountainous areas as much as they can. To be able to see the heartfelt smiles and gratitude of these poor families.

After more than ten minutes, a few adults came out of the village, basically all of them were elderly. The first one was the village party secretary in his fifties, and the village chief and other village cadres had already gone out to work. The rest of the adults were among the few adults in the village, and the youngest of them was in his early forties. The rest are still in the village, and they are much older than them.

Under the introduction of the village party secretary, the adult population of their village was originally about 500 people, but there are about 34 adults in the village at present, most of whom are over 50 years old, and there are at least more than 100 underage children, all of whom are left-behind children, and basically they are less than 10 years old. Because children who have passed the age of ten on their side can be regarded as laborers, and they have to support themselves, and most of them go out to work with their parents or relatives.

On average, there are several children in each family. They are all ethnic minorities, and the policy is that they can have two. But in fact, they usually have at least three or four children in their families, and as for superbirths or something, they don't care at all in a ravine like them that they are too poor to wear clothes and have enough to eat. The State also has no effective way to deal with them in this regard. can only be allowed to be so vicious superbirth, and the more they are born, the poorer they become. (To be continued.) )
