Chapter 18: The Great Philanthropist
Unexpectedly, this orphanage was actually built in Paris, probably because it is the most convenient transportation there! It is also unthinkable that there would be such a place in Paris.
Gray building with a small sign with a church cross hanging in front of the door. If it weren't for this brand, Tang Yunyang couldn't believe that this would be Paris, the most comic Paris in the world.
This gray hollow-shaped building looks dilapidated and shabby in the holy and beautiful suburbs of Paris, which are covered with snow everywhere. Some of the glass that was shattered during the war was not installed, which cannot but make people worry about how the people in the house survived such a bitter cold.
Seeing this, although he claimed to be an atheist, although he was somewhat reluctant because of his opinion of the "Marian" grandmother, Tang Yunyang began to feel cold at this time. Not only did this cold come from the depths of his heart, but it even made him shiver.
"What if...... Just ......"
It's a simple sentence, but what kind of threat is it to those underage children in such a cold winter? What kind of encounter does that mean?
It really makes people can't be compared, and the cruel scene of war is actually reflected in the children in the end. This roughly shows that war is a thing invented by human beings, but in turn it is aimed at the people whom human beings care the most. I'm afraid that a certain target is smashed?
As the car drove into the patio-like space, Tang Yunyang saw an even more surprising scene. The youngest of the children is only 6~7 years old, and the oldest is only 14~5 years old.
Those over the age of 16 have now managed to go to church schools or find ways to support themselves. As for the smaller ones, I'm afraid they're still in the nursery or something.
I remember that in the articles or movies I read when I was a child, I talked about how the evil capitalist "Baby's Hall" destroyed children, and now I can't help but laugh when I think about it. At the very least, these children still have people who care about them, and at least there are people who run and pay for their safety.
"All evil"? Who is more evil?
The power of the Church is always limited, especially in the immediate aftermath of the war and the majority of the population is confined to abject poverty. Churches that rely heavily on donations to cope with their vast philanthropic work are even more in trouble. Therefore, they do not have to devote their limited resources to these children who are more in need.
It can be seen that in the cold wind, the shivering children seem to be warming up because of the morning run, and the malnourished faces are flushed with some unhealthy ruddy colors.
Here, Tang Yunyang surprisingly didn't see the unpleasant, sharp-toothed "Marianne Mama". They were greeted by a bald priest with a white collar dressed in a black robe.
The two eyes are probably "heavy eyelids" because they are often worried. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes stretched all the way to his graying sideburns.
Approximately, his eyes observed Tang Yunyang and Jane. Merlin was watching, and the children were jogging in the morning in the small patio. It seems that for the thin clothes on the children's bodies, and even some children's shoes can see the frostbite on their feet. There were also many children, dressed in German or French uniforms.
Although, their small bodies look a little funny under those big unorthodox clothes. However, when such a cold winter comes, it is obviously a good outfit to have such a rear military uniform. Minimally, thick military uniforms that can help protect them from the cold.
Obviously, these things shocked the seemingly wealthy couple. The priest (France is a Catholic country) had a sad and hopeful expression on his face.
"There's no way around it, you know, the war in Europe has just ended, and we know that the public doesn't have enough power to help all the children. So, we had to try to give some ...... to all the children."
Based on the clothes worn by the visiting couple, he guessed that they probably belonged to the kind of people who had a lot of property. In particular, the performance of the Chinese made him even more acceptable.
After all, after the end of the war, as the rising "Chinese Association" of European countries, they not only recruited all immigrants from foreign countries, but also formed their own business and employment system. Even the trade union organizations in France have asked the French people to pay attention in the newspapers that the "Chinese Association" is thinking of replacing the status of the trade unions to some extent.
Although the French government is also worried, industry, business, and the church prefer these people. Not only do they provide more business information, cheaper and more reliable employment, but they also tend to get ahead of other groups when it comes to charity fundraising.
Therefore, at least in this case, the actions of the "Chung Hwa Association" will be affirmed by the church.
"So, we need more people with good intentions to help! You see, the kids are now only able to eat two meals a day, and they don't have enough clothes for the winter! …… Alas, fortunately, the war is finally over, and I think everything will slowly get better! ”
At the end of the day, the elderly priest choked visibly in his throat, and it was clear that there was no better way to deal with this situation than to ask the children to continue to be patient.
In contrast, among the philanthropic undertakings that have been established by Green Rose, the "Tzu An Church", although not part of the church, is managed in much the same way as the church orphanage. So children under the age of 6 will be sent to live there.
For those who are 6 years old, they enter a school that arranges a system from elementary school to high school graduation, as well as a school named "Nozomi" with dormitories and school buildings that comply with Kotoshima's building codes. After graduation, they can go to a technical or military school that provides student loans or scholarships to start their own independent life.
Fortunately, there have been no large-scale wars in the country, and there are not many real orphans. At least not comparable to the number of war orphans in Europe, which died almost 10 million people.
As always, Jane, who has an angelic heart. Merlin was immediately shocked by what was in front of him. His slender fingers covered his mouth, and his eyes were filled with tears.
Imagine that in Batavia, she could still have love for the women and children of the barbarians. Then, France, as her motherland, naturally cannot be abandoned.
"Yunyang ......!"
She turned her head to look at her husband, who realized that although he was a soldier, he was not a cold-blooded person.
Of course, at this moment, Tang Yunyang had already thrown away the strange "Marian Mama" and disappeared, however, the donation was not as simple as it seemed. It is not that the collection of love scattered among the people accomplishes what a wise politician should consider.
"Let's watch the first release together, please support genuine reading, and support the author's creation" Don't laugh and give birth to a group: 35761481; Mailbox:.
Why? Keen grasp of the essence of the problem from the perspective of the big picture is a test of the insight of a politician. Tang Yunyang saw at a glance that there were at least 500~700 war orphans in this orphanage. If you guess, not much in the whole of France, there will always be 5000 war orphans.
If you consider the same Europe, there are always 2~30,000, and if you add the war orphans of Russia near China, I am afraid it will be an astronomical existence. And if you want to save such a number of children, the money you need will probably be extremely terrifying.
This is a problem, if the source of living expenses of the orphans is temporarily put aside, then it can be said that the economic development of these orphans living there will be caused.
Hum! I am afraid that people will ridicule it as too utilitarian or too whimsical, but in fact it is a lack of understanding of economic laws. If you have studied economics systematically, you should know that the most basic solution to the economic crisis is to increase government projects.
Back then, Franklin. Roosevelt also used this method to solve the economic crisis of the U.S. government, and at the same time built a relatively complete transportation system in the United States.
You can think about the tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of orphans or poor students, what kind of demand will be caused by the city where the school is located. The expenditure on "food, clothing, housing and transportation" in just four aspects is about enough for the economic impetus that a city needs.
Tang Yunyang stretched out his hand and patted Jane. Merlin's arm in the crook of his arm.
"Don't worry, it's hard for me to feel at ease that they can live in such an environment. I will do what a philanthropist should do for their lives and growth, and I will send all these war orphans back to Qindao! I think they must be able to live quite happily there! ”
"Really, are you really willing to pay such a price?"
Tang Yunyang smiled slightly, and said the following words in front of the old priest on the side.
"Rest assured, my dear, children are not guilty, and if we can do something for them, then we are willing to do it to the best of our ability!"
Tang Yunyang's commitment to make Jane. Merlin was overjoyed, she could hardly believe that Tang Yunyang would actually do such a generous good deed. And Tang Shaoyi, who came with him on the side, was also worried about China's ability to bear it, while he was also worried about these war orphans.
I'm afraid that the only one who really understands in my heart is Dai Li.
"The chief's methods are really different! Tens of thousands of European students, it should not be difficult to pick a spy of his hundreds of European blood in the future, and China's reputation among the European people may be better, as for other aspects, ......"
In the end, Dai Li could only shake his head and sigh: "If you have different views, there will be an absolute difference in your choice!" ”
