Chapter 230: Academy Hunting
Again, it's not the old man, it's the little man, and there are some boy-like people who do things there. What to do? Ji Conan muttered in his heart. Could this place be a legendary prison? How can there be men in a girls' dormitory?
The principal of the college greeted them, and they were very enthusiastic, stopped, and spoke to the principal. It turned out that they were all busy in their hands, preparing to hold things, there were ash shovels, there was a pile of sand and cement on the ground, and some bricks, and then looking up, it was a hut, which was similar to what they saw on the road, and the headmaster said, "You have worked hard! Are you done today? ”
"It's done!" The men replied.
"Okay, that's very efficient, let's go back to your place when we're done." The headmaster commanded.
"Okay."
The boys readily agreed. Look at the girl who was punished for copying the Bible, she looks timid, very scared, I don't know why she is here, these people have probably made mistakes, but at home, parents can't correct their behavior, family education is not good, there are social organizations to help, the principal is also worried about the college, and is always trying to find a way to help the bad teenagers, so that they can return to normal, and can become a normal person in society and bring benefits to people.
Some time ago, the local villagers and the academy had a dispute, and they wanted to drive the academy to walk and not let them run a school on this island, because these bad teenagers would affect the local teenagers, thus affecting the local parents to discipline their children, that is to say, in ancient times, the story of Meng's mother's three migrations was general, and the environment was very important, however, they were all on an isolated island, and the local villagers had to take a boat to get to the island, and how the bad teenagers on the island could affect the local villagers I really couldn't figure it out, Ji Conan just couldn't figure it out, and the island was a closed prison. Local villagers may be nervous.
Sure enough, the academy insisted on not moving, saying that it would protect the runaway youths, who had been abandoned by the society and were not accepted by the society, there was a big problem, they needed love, and they needed to be given a chance.
However, the local villagers still did not give up, and wanted to drive them away, and marched and demonstrated, so that they could leave, and they had to go, but the academy moved the Hong Kong Island government, and the officials of the Hong Kong Island government came forward to help coordinate and did a lot of work, but the villagers still did not agree, and the demonstrations and sit-ins had to be carried out. The Hong Kong Island Government patiently explained that the principal of the college also promised not to disturb the people, never let them influence the local young people, and strive to cultivate and correct them, so that they can become qualified members of society, return to society, and contribute to the Special Administrative Region.
It took a long time for this matter to be resolved, and it wasn't until Conan and they went to visit. The teenagers of the academy are also worried about their whereabouts, some hope to move to the downtown area, and some want to stay on the island.
In the end, it was the principal who said, "Everyone has children, and it is impossible not to make mistakes." If we all reject them and abandon them, then they wander around the society all day long, and it is not good for everyone, but also for themselves, their families, and society, so if you don't give them the opportunity to correct their mistakes and return to normal life, then they will give up on themselves, and in the end, it will hurt everyone and this society. If we want to speak of love, we must walk it. We can't go on like this, otherwise, we will not be responsible for this society and will not contribute to society. ”
After saying this, the hearts of the villagers were moved, and gradually some people wept, some left, and one by one, the people who were sitting in silence stood up and walked away with their heads bowed. The students who came with the principal sang together, probably in need of love, in need of care, and in the hope of giving love, and the song was very moving, because their voices came from the heart, not delicate, nor a kind of work for the occasion, but all from the heart.
The call from the heart worked, the meditators dispersed, and the academy succeeded. As a result, the academy survived. The local villagers gradually figured it out and listened to the persuasion, so they stopped protesting. Ji Conan knows this, if the reason is clear and people can listen to it, things will be easy to do, otherwise, it will be difficult to do. is unreasonable, and everyone is unhappy in the end.
The principal nodded, listened to the assistant all the time introducing, and then continued to walk up, to the classroom, this classroom, made of stone, with student records, filing cabinets, complete supplies, although the desks are simple, but still sturdy, there is no air conditioning in the classroom, there are ceiling fans, these things, there are people to dedicate, the academy did not spend any money.
During the whole stage of the confrontation between the academy and the villagers, the TV station has been tracking and reporting, which has attracted the attention of many citizens on Hong Kong Island, who have donated money to support the continuation of the academy. If people hate people, they want to put them to death and be quick to do so.
As a result, this struggle is not a problem between the villagers and the academy, but a struggle between two factions in society, and these problems exist in society. Some have love, some don't, some are always selfish, and some are willing to share. Some like to eat it alone, enjoy it for themselves, and be happy for themselves, regardless of the pain of others.
In this stone-built classroom, there are more than a dozen students, after completing their homework, they have brought it to the principal to chatter, asking the principal to change the homework, the principal smiled, took the homework book, looked at it, drew a tick on it, and then put the homework into the bookcase, where there are already a lot of books, probably student files and some homework books, and then, record the performance of the students, these dozen students, taught by a teacher, too busy, the principal sometimes comes to help. Because the principal did not put on a show, the students were willing to approach him.
Leaving the classroom, the group of girls like flowers and butterflies reluctantly left the principal and continued to climb the mountain. Across the bridge, there is the teaching area, where the older boys are concentrated. There is a carp pond around the corner, koi fish swim around in it, next to it is the office area, which has the principal's office, the financial room, etc., rows of houses, all offices, the place is not big, but the functions are relatively complete.
It is said that this was once the first stop for people from the mainland, who had nowhere to go and no legal identity, so they cultivated land and raised pigs here, so it was a concentrated area for illegal immigrants. However, the conditions here are too poor, there is no good land, the whole land needs to be excavated, it is very difficult, the mountains are high and the slopes are steep, the land does not look fertile, there are many stones, the vitality of the plants is super strong, they grow in the barren land and stone crevices, and the branches and leaves are also dense.
The mainlanders will die on the desert island, refusing to return to the mainland, the Hong Kong Island government did not drive them out, they got them to the village, became villagers, left the desert island, the desert island became more and more barren, there are still some old pigsties, those stone ruins are still there, some stone houses are still there, but the roof is broken, the reclaimed fields have regrown thatch, and they are gradually barren.
The principal came here, led some like-minded people, cleaned up these old things, like Yugong moving mountains, and like ants moving, and gradually cleaned up the desert island suitable for human habitation, and, with scientific management, more reasonable design, the establishment of a college, sheltered the undesirable teenagers on Hong Kong Island, so that they can cultivate themselves on the desert island, learn some skills, and survive in society.
At first, the Hong Kong Island Government disagreed, but later found out that the principal was a Christian and had a better faith. In addition, there are indeed some youth problems in society, and the Hong Kong Island Government cannot solve them. For those who violate the law but the circumstances are not too serious and the consequences are not serious, it is agreed that they will be handed over to a social organization for behavior correction. Therefore, the academy has obtained the qualification to run a school, and some minor criminal offenses, some of the younger ones, have been sent here to receive the help of teachers and experts, so that they can change their past mistakes and become new people, but these things need to be done by some teachers and caring people who are willing to sacrifice.
To do things here, you must be fully mentally prepared, they are some marginal people, and if they take a step forward, they are criminals; Taking a step back, you are a normal person, and it is indeed very embarrassing to be in between. The hearts of good people are not clear, and the hearts of bad people are not clear. The heart can be seen through deeds. It is not easy for people to figure out their thoughts, but their actions are clear. The most terrible thing is the heart, for outsiders, this is a private territory, a secret that belongs to a person.
What the College does is more meaningful. The correction of young people is very difficult to do, but the principal is not afraid of difficulties, with love, with the strength given to him by God to do things, overcome difficulties, and develop to this day, it is indeed not easy, spiritual strength is very important, that is, to build a kingdom, you also need money, investment, ambition and goals, and perseverance in action.
If you want to survive here, the first thing to solve is the draft problem. Conan was working on a water conservancy project, and he was also particularly concerned about the problem of water, and he saw that the large pool of the academy was full of water, and then asked, it turned out that it was brought from the mountain. The headmaster found a source of water, and there was water in the ravine outside, but, it seems, it flowed through a lot of the surface, and it was obviously not clean. The water here is drawn from the cave, and there is a spring, which does not dry up in all seasons. When those who escaped from the mainland and arrived on a desert island, the first thing they had to do was to find a clean water source. They succeeded, but after the evacuation, these places were abandoned.
The principal was clever and according to the map, coupled with some relics, he quickly found a water source and connected it to the campus, becoming the source of life for the college. The advantage of being away from the city is that it is quiet, the principal finds a water source, connects it, and with water, he can live. Then it was expanded, school buildings were built, dormitories were built. This three-dimensional space can give full play to imagination and continuous innovation, making it more like a warm family, only in this way is it conducive to the healthy growth of teenagers and correction. People are here, and they will naturally be in a good mood. Because the city is too noisy and stressful, the heart can't calm down, but the air here is good, pleasing to the eye, and the relationship between people is harmonious. Concentrating on correction, through teacher correction, through self-reflection, it is naturally much better to work towards a goal, and it is more labor-saving. Conan thought and continued to visit.
Next to the kitchen is the cafeteria, which has two large televisions that hang high above it. When it's time to eat, the students sit in rows, eat, and watch TV, in an orderly order.
Conan is invited into an air-conditioned room with machines for TV production. It is also a course that teaches students about television news production. The college has its own television station, and the reporters and editors, including post-production, are very well equipped.
After the introduction, the students learned about TV drama production, and reported on what happened at the college as a small society.
It can be regarded as an internship, and the well-produced program will be broadcast on Hong Kong Island TV, which will also have a great impact. Including the news of the villagers' expulsion of the college, they also produced a program, which was broadcast on Hong Kong Island TV and updated frequently, so that the public could know the truth.
The air-conditioned room is actually a TV production room, and the students' work is neatly stacked and full of videotapes. played an episode casually, Conan watched it casually, and felt that it was more real and credible than the news on mainland TV stations. Because, the academy TV station pays more attention to people's inner feelings, not to put gold on the face of the person in charge, for the sake of face, for the sake of good looks, and not to complete the task, they are really doing things, and what they do are really good things, and they can see the effect.
After visiting the academy TV station, continuing to climb the stairs, and seeing some shooting ranges, the principal introduced: "Some young people in the downtown area have not broken the law and have no bad behaviors that need to be corrected, but according to their active characteristics, a shooting range has been set up, organized them to land on the island, distributed weapons, conducted field training at the shooting range, looked for imaginary enemies, and conducted drills. ”
Everyone listened and nodded frequently, this is a game for the children of the rich, charging to help others, through intermediary agencies, to serve some poor people, reflecting fairness and justice.
After looking at the shooting range, I saw the guns in the ammunition depot, which was very real. It seems that the bullet used for training is not real, it should be a rubber bullet, otherwise, wouldn't it be fatal? These weapons are absolutely controlled in the hinterland, and they are never allowed to appear in the people, but in the academy, this phenomenon does not exist, but is encouraged, and the purpose of training is not to kill, but to strengthen the body, in this way, Conan sincerely feels that their personality has been promoted, not to live in a nest, but to choose comfort, then choose. This place is relatively urban, it is a wilderness, accustomed to living in the city, and when you go to the wilderness, you have to fend for yourself. The children of rich families live in greenhouses, do not experience wind and rain, and cannot be exercised and grown. This is also a question that the rich people are considering. It is more beneficial for children to be frustrated. If not, it will become a fact that it will not be rich for three generations. The ancestors fought the country, and the descendants sat on the country, and it was not easy to fight the country, and it was also difficult to sit on the country. The important thing is to sit on the country.
