In the backwoods surrounded by mountains, a winding road weaves through the forest.

The road has been in disrepair for many years, dilapidated and difficult to walk, and recently it has rained, and the road is even more muddy.

One side is a steep mountain wall, one side is an abyss, even if the weather is fine, the driver does not dare to be careless on the road, let alone after the rain, although there is no danger, but it is still necessary to be careful.

One behind the other, two off-road vehicles drove slowly along the muddy mountain path.

Yang Yang and Su Ye sat in the back seat of the back car, bumpy all the way.

They came to Yunnan two days ago, and after a day of going out to play, they set off yesterday for the mountainous areas in northwest Yunnan.

First, I arrived at a county, and after a night, I set off early this morning, but the result was a distance of fifty or sixty kilometers, and it took an hour to arrive in an area with good road conditions.

Originally, he and Su Ye were full of leisure and leisure in the surrounding mountains and forests, but gradually, they both lost interest.

This time, they were in the mountains with the expedition.

The purpose of the expedition, which belongs to a charity in Beijing, was to visit a primary school in the mountains.

The person in charge of this charity is a student of Su Wenhong, Su Ye's senior, named Shen Jun, in his thirties, with a good family background, after graduating from university, he once went to the mountainous areas to teach, and later has been engaged in charity, committed to helping children in the mountainous areas improve the school environment, and Su Wenhong often has contacts.

At the beginning of the year, after Su Ye signed Armani, he filmed three dramas and several advertising endorsements in succession, earning a lot of money, and after discussing with Su Wenhong, he decided to pledge a school, with an investment of about two million.

This time, they came to inspect the school.

……

In the impoverished mountainous area, where few outsiders arrive all year round, two large carts suddenly came, although the road was covered with mud, but it quickly attracted the attention of the whole village.

According to the information provided by Shen Jun before, there are about 3,000 people in this village, and within a radius of one kilometer, there are three villages, but the scale is smaller than here, about more than 1,000 people, but the children of these four villages are basically studying in the same primary school.

The average annual income of the surrounding villages is about 800 yuan, and the life is very poor, but the enrollment rate is very high, reaching 100 percent, so there are many students in the school, about three or four hundred.

In recent years, as more and more adults have gone out of the mountains to work, students have gradually become left-behind children, and many of them even have no adults at home, and they are boarding in schools, but the conditions of the schools are extremely poor.

Just after the Spring Festival, most of the villagers had not yet gone out to work, and when they heard that it was a charity that helped build the school, they immediately chased after them to see, and the village cadres and school leaders rushed to receive them.

Yang Yang and Su Ye were both wearing cotton hats and masks, and they were not afraid of being recognized, but when they got out of the car, they were a little stunned when they saw the situation at the school.

Sometimes the expression of language is very limited.

Along the way, Shen Jun told them a lot about the situation of this school, and they had imagined it, but when they saw it with their own eyes, they still found that they still underestimated it.

According to the school leaders and village officials, the school has been around for more than 60 years, and the current school building was built 30 years ago, using a brick and wood structure, that is, the walls are bricks, and the roof is made of beams and tiles.

Due to disrepair, the beams have long been decayed and damaged, and many walls are also tilted and cracked everywhere, thanks to the frequent maintenance of the village and the school, otherwise it would have collapsed long ago.

Yang Yang stood in the playground, looking at the two-story teaching building from a distance, not to mention the mottled walls, the windows were also broken, and the ceiling gave people a crumbling feeling that it might fall down at any time, which made people a little scared.

The school leaders have big hearts, or they are used to it, and they smile and say that they are not in the way, and they have just strengthened it before the New Year.

Next to it is a long, single-storey row of brick and wood bungalows, which are the dormitories for the school's teachers and students.

There is also a small bungalow is the kitchen and canteen, Yang Yang specially probed over to take a look, and found that the kitchen was firewood, the ground was just hastily swept with a layer of cement slurry, the white walls on all sides were yellow, there were oil stains everywhere, and the sanitary conditions were impossible to talk about.

When Yang Yang walked to the other side of the playground, he noticed that there was a small dirt slope behind the teaching building, and a wall was built with stones to reinforce it to prevent the mud on the hillside from slipping down when it rained, but it was old, and the stone wall looked crumbling, and God knows if the next heavy rain would wash it down?

And if the wall is breached, the dirt that runs down the hillside will go straight to the place where students play between classes and downstairs.

Yang Yang and Su Ye looked around, the conditions here were far worse than they expected.

Shen Jun, accompanied by village cadres and school leaders, took his colleagues around to take pictures, because after they made a field trip and decided to build a school, they would immediately draw up a construction plan, make a budget, and publish it online for fundraising.

This time, because Su Ye pledged to donate, they don't need to raise funds externally, but the process that should be followed still has to be followed, and it will still be announced to the public, but Su Ye's name will be hidden.

……

When Yang Yang and Su Ye returned to the playground, Shen Jun and the others also returned.

"The conditions here are just too bad." Yang Yang said with a frown.

But Shen Jun shook his head, "This place is good, according to their own words, there are worse things in their county than here, so the county government will give the budget and money to others first, and they will be the back." ”

"What's worse?" Su Ye was surprised.

She has lived in Beijing since she was a child, and even if she had heard of it before, it was only heard, and the photos she saw were just a glimpse of the leopard, and after the field trip, she really felt the poverty here.

"I don't know about the rest of the place, but among the schools we visited and helped build, the conditions here are indeed relatively not the worst." Shen Jun shook his head and sighed.

"After going to a place for inspection, the more we can realize the limited manpower, there are too many people who need help, but our ability is just a little bit, we can only do what we can, and we have a clear conscience."

Yang Yang and Su Ye glanced at each other, and they were both related.

It is shallow to read on paper, and only when you really come to the scene can you feel the poverty of the motherland.

"What are you going to do next?" Yang Yang asked with concern.

"After the site visit, I will continue to stay in the county, negotiate with the county leaders, determine the preliminary plan as soon as possible, and then we will select the site, invite the construction company to plan and design, and bid and accept the project."

When Shen Jun said this, he looked at Su Ye, "Originally, after the preliminary plan came out, we should have to raise funds online, but now that Ye Zi said that he wanted to pledge, some steps were omitted in the middle, and from the current point of view, two million should be enough." ”

Su Ye nodded, "That's good, if it's not enough, you tell me." ”

Shen Jun smiled and nodded.

"Brother Jun, I heard that many primary schools in mountainous areas are now being withdrawn and merged, is it true?" Yang Yang asked.

Before he came, he also did some homework, including learning about Shen Jun and his charity organization through Wei Zhen before, and Shen Jun also knew Wei Zhen's brothers, and determined that Shen Jun was indeed a kind-hearted person who was enthusiastic about charity.

And now, Yang Yang really wants to know more about the situation.

"What you said is true, so there will also be some private donations, schools that have been built, but it didn't take long for them to be withdrawn and merged, and people went to empty buildings, and I think this is also a problem."

Yang Yang thought so.

Good intentions are worth affirming, but they don't use it to the point.

"We are in a special situation because we have ties to state charities, but we have no way of knowing which ones will be withdrawn, so we can only choose the kind of schools that are clearly not going to be withdrawn, and at the same time have the need for this aspect, so that every penny of our money is used where it is needed."

"For example, the school we see now, surrounded by several villages, is just one school here, they have been studying here for the past few decades, and we have had a preliminary understanding with the county, and they have promised that it will never be withdrawn, and more importantly, the enrollment rate and the promotion rate of children here have reached 100 percent, and there are almost no dropouts."

Yang Yang nodded again and again when he heard this, he felt that Shen Jun's ideas were relatively mature, and they had almost taken into account all the issues that could be considered.

"In fact, we originally had a plan, that is, we hoped to be able to train the teachers of the schools we aided, such as studying in schools in Beijing, or inviting well-known teachers in China to teach in schools, so as to improve the level of teachers and improve the quality of teaching."

"That's good." Yang Yang and Su Ye nodded in unison.

Shen Jun shook his head and smiled bitterly, "There is no funding, and now our fundraising channels are still relatively limited, plus we have insufficient resources in all aspects, so there is no way to implement many ideas, so we can only take our time step by step." ”

Yang Yang understood.

Manpower is always limited, and there will always be times when the heart is more than enough and the strength is insufficient, but the most important thing is to do your best and have a clear conscience.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt as if he understood something.

Isn't Shen Jun's situation very similar to the situation he is facing now?

Why isn't Yang Yang facing such a dilemma?

He wanted to help Liverpool and put in a better performance, but it didn't improve.

He was very anxious before, but the more anxious he was, the worse it became, and he was still carrying heavy pressure and burden.

But now that I think about it, it is indeed as Shen Jun said, manpower is limited, so I can only take my time step by step, do my best, have a clear conscience, maintain a normal heart, and go with the flow, maybe I can find my own state better.

And when he looked at Su Ye again, he suddenly felt as if he had discovered another side of Su Ye.

He didn't know about Su Ye's pledge to donate to the school before, and she never said it.
