I see the people of the world,

I-see-all-the-world，

All of them are fighting.

Everybody-in-the-war。

Suddenly he died,

One-day-died-suddenly，

Only a piece of land.

Only-have-a-wastes。

It is four feet wide and two feet long.

Four-feet-wide，thirteen-feet-long。

If thou shalt come out and fight for thy will,

If-you-can-Jump-out-from-the-grave-and-keep-fighting，

I will set up a monument with you.

I-will-build-a-monument-for-your-gone。

——Ye Wei Blog, a humble translation of a cold mountain poem

※※

Before 6 o'clock in the morning on the 27th, Ye Wei left the hotel to watch and photograph the sunrise in Guangzhou by the Pearl River. The red sun rises from the tiny high-rise buildings in the distance, reflecting the whole world and making the river sparkle and shine, which is really incomparably gorgeous.

After watching the sunrise, start today's intensive itinerary.

Ye Wei first went to the Lianxiang Building on the Tenth Fu Road to drink morning tea. Today is Sunday, there are already a lot of diners early in the morning, he honestly queued up for a while, only to enter the lobby on the second floor by sharing a table, and sit at a table with an uncle Uncle Cheng and two old uncles, Chen Bo and Feng Bo, they are all Lao Guang.

Each of the four of them had a small pot of kung fu tea, drinking it slowly while eating dim sum such as chicken feet, shrimp dumplings, and pork ribs. Ye Wei also ordered "fried ghost", out of China, it is not easy to eat such soft, sweet and delicious fritters.

He was the youngest, the biggest, and of course had to eat the most. Because he was full of rice noodles yesterday, he mainly ate wonton noodles this morning, which is one of his favorite Cantonese dishes, and the wonton noodles in Lianxianglou are so delicious, he ate three bowls, and took away a glutinous rice chicken.

This morning tea lasted more than an hour, and when he left, the two old men seemed to have just started the meal, and they were both in their seventies and eighties, and they really ate more salt than rice. He wanted to communicate with the two old people, but the language was not compatible, but fortunately, Uncle Cheng was the temporary translator, so that he, the "sweet potato boy", could listen to them speak ancient and learn a lot of Cantonese.

Talking about those Xianfeng years, Uncle Chen and Uncle Feng were constantly pecking at each other, but he listened as if he was in those years of beacon smoke and felt a lot of emotion.

After morning tea, Ye Wei walked to the nearby Hualin Zen Temple.

When he came to China with his parents, he didn't like this kind of activity, because he didn't think that praying to God and Buddha would make his wishes come true, but now he thinks that it is just a way to find inner peace.

However, I went to Hualin Temple either to worship the gods, or to travel. Hualin Temple was first called Xilai Nunnery, which is the first temple built by Bodhidharma, the ancestor of Zen Buddhism, after crossing to the east, and has a history of almost 1,500 years.

Walking in such a long temple, looking at the quaint buildings and green trees, Ye Wei has a sense of seclusion.

It's not that I have any thoughts of escapism, but sometimes when I go to this kind of Buddhist place, I can see myself and the world better. For 1,500 years, how many people have come, how many things have happened, joys and sorrows, sunny days and shortages, after all, have become a piece of loess, every time I think about this, it makes people feel inexplicable.

After leaving Hualin Temple, Ye Wei took a car to Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, then went to Yuexiu Park, and went to the former site of the Whampoa Military Academy on Changzhou Island in the afternoon to continue to remember the ancestors. In fact, his grandfather studied in Nanjing, the predecessor of the Whampoa Military Academy, the Central Army Military Academy, and he only came here this time without planning to go to Nanjing.

It was already evening when I left Cheung Chau Island, and I returned to Liwan District to play and eat for another night.

He took a lot of street photos tonight, because the blue long-sleeved T-shirt covered the tattoos, people's favorability of him skyrocketed, and he easily invited some girls, couples and ordinary people from all walks of life to take photos with his signature smile and words.

When he returned to the hotel in the early morning, Ye Wei was recognized twice, once in a young couple in Yuexiu Park, and once in a group of junior high school girls in Shangxiajiu. Those who can recognize him are all movie fans, so they are naturally excited and happy, especially the little girl who recognized him first almost cried, as if she was a crazy star chaser.

But their minds are very simple, they just want to sign a group photo, not flesh and blood, which is really cute.

It's a bit vain to say, the first time he was recognized in China, he was enthusiastically supported, he was very happy, and they gestured with V.

When he returned to the hotel, he didn't fall asleep immediately, so he used his laptop to sort out the photos, and then uploaded his first Chinese graphic travelogue to his blog, along with a newly translated Hanshan poem. This is his biggest feeling recently, and at first glance it seems like an anti-war poem, but it is also true that this war is a struggle of all life, and it may never stop, because life on earth was created with a competitive nature, which is really sad and lamentable.

Still, this competitive world can have more love, more peace and laughter, not bitter crying.

On the morning of the 28th of the next day, Ye Wei bought some gifts as originally planned and went to visit the orphans at the Guangzhou Social (Children) Welfare Institute on Longhu Road, Tianhe District.

Welfare homes generally do not accept individual volunteer services, but he is a celebrity and can be contacted before. Nearly 50 years ago, the orphanage has been home to thousands of orphans, including medical care, parenting, education and adoption.

There is also foreign adoption, he has a female classmate in elementary school who was adopted by the adoptive family from China, and he has dated her, just a few times, and he doesn't call. was scolded by his mother very badly, and he rarely dated Asian girls after that, which was too serious.

It's much better than Kenya, with beautiful scenery, facilities, helpful teachers and long-term volunteers, and lively children who are healthy or disabled. He played small games with the children, did rehabilitation, watched a cartoon called "Joy and the Big Big Wolf", and attended the birthday party for the children who had their birthdays today.

It wasn't until 5 o'clock in the afternoon that Ye Wei left in a happy mood.

I feel that China's child welfare is doing well, he helps African children, and of course helps Chinese children. In the past two years, there have been donations in the protection of children and the education of out-of-school children, and this year the amount has gradually increased, especially after Duoduo went missing.

However, this good mood passed away so quickly.

Riding to Tianhebei, Ye Wei walked to Guangzhou Tianhe Cinema City for shopping, not hungry, and was ready to watch a Chinese movie before dinner.

Tianhe Road is flanked by bright modern high-rise buildings, and the cityscape is very different from that of Xiguan, with passers-by walking on pedestrian bridges and spacious pedestrian streets. A little girl who looked to be 4 or 5 years old sat on the side of the road begging in ragged clothes.

Ye Wei saw her like that, her unkempt black hair, her small face was dirty, her feet exposed by her shorts were thin and deformed, and there was a beggar bowl in front of her, and there were some small denomination bills in the bowl. Every passer-by walked by, she begged, some passers-by gave her alms, and some passers-by walked directly.

It's as if he's entering the world of Phil Collins' Another-Day-In-Paradise lyrics:

"She called out to a passer-by on the street, sir, can you help me? It's cold, and I'm displaced. Can you tell me where I can go? The man kept walking, not looking back. He pretended not to hear her, and began to whistle down the street, as if it would embarrass him to stay there. Think about it again, and think about the other day when you and I happened to meet in heaven......"

She was that little girl.

Whether they will meet in heaven another day, Ye Wei doesn't know, but ...... How could a disabled child sit there begging, what about the police, what about the child welfare staff, where did they all die? He couldn't stop trembling and ran up quickly.

When she came to the little girl, she raised her head to look at him, her dark eyes were numb, and she said in Mandarin: "Brother, please give me some money." ”

Hearing this "brother", Ye Wei's eyes turned red, he squatted down, and said softly: "Little friend, it's okay." He was very heartbroken and very surprised, there were many people who gave her alms, and there was a lot of money in the beggar's bowl, why didn't anyone notify the relevant agencies to deal with it?

The welfare home is not far from here, but I don't know if the first step in the procedure is to be managed by the welfare home, or whether it is the first to call the police.

I took out my mobile phone and called the Chinese police number 110, which was connected quickly, and the female police officer asked: "Hello, Tianhe District 110, please speak." ”

"Hello, I found a street child on Tianhe Road. Ye Wei looked around, and didn't know where it was, and only after a description and narration did he determine the location with the policeman, he looked at the little girl's feet, and said sadly: "Her feet are disabled, please send someone over quickly." ”

"The police have been received, please wait where you are, and we will dispatch the police immediately. The officer said.

After reporting to the police, Ye Wei called the welfare institute again to inquire, and learned that he would first call the Guangzhou Municipal Center for the Rescue and Protection of Street Children and Children, which is a new full-time agency for the rescue and protection of street children in recent years.

He suddenly felt that a big rock had fallen to the ground in his heart, and he was very glad that China had done work in this area and gradually improved it. The "Adam System" and "Amber System" in the United States were not built in a day, and it is good to have development.

"Brother, please give me some money. The little girl begged again.

"What's your name?" Ye Wei asked with a smile at her, and sat down next to him with a backpack on his back, with a lot of doubts in his heart, "How long have you been lost?

The little girl looked at him ignorantly, "Fat girl." ”

"You're not fat. Ye Wei reached out and stroked her head, "You are very cute." ”

Passers-by didn't pay much attention to them, and suddenly a middle-aged man who looked like a beggar came up, his face was full of unkind meat, his small eyes were shining with a fierce light, and his body was full of unpleasant stench of smoke, and he was about to pick up the little girl and the beggar bowl.

Ye Weihuo got up and pushed him away, "What are you doing?"

"Who are you, she's my daughter!" the middle-aged beggar scolded loudly.

"Your daughter?" Ye Wei was stunned, and then became furious: "Your daughter, you let her be like this." The middle-aged beggar scolded and hugged the little girl again: "What's the matter with you!?let's go!" Ye Wei pushed him away violently, and then picked up the fat girl in his arms, and scolded angrily: "Don't touch her, I don't believe she is your daughter." Even if she is, your custody is gone. ”

"You want to be nosy, don't you?" The middle-aged beggar was short in stature, but he threatened fiercely: "Boy, you're going to get in trouble, aren't you?"

"I'm not afraid of you. Ye Wei said in a deep voice, if you can really beat this guy. At this time, he noticed that a silver van was coming and stopped on the side of the road, and in a blink of an eye, several big men got out of the car and rushed straight over. He immediately understood that this was a gang that manipulated and abducted children for fake begging.

How many more chubby chicks?

Anger rose to the sky, he wanted to hit someone, but not now, as soon as he reacted, he hugged the fat girl tightly, ran to the front of the street, and shouted with all his strength as he ran: "Help, there are traffickers, help!!" The fat girl was frightened and immediately cried.

Passers-by looked at each other in amazement, and several young people, middle-aged men and other citizens gathered around to help.

As soon as the false beggars saw this, they knew that they could not get it back, so they immediately ran back to the van, and as soon as the door closed, the car drove away.

"You scumbags deserve to die!You-Motherfu_cker!!!" Ye Wei scolded at the van that was driving farther and farther away, the fat girl cried even louder, and he hurriedly comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." But the fat girl trembled with fear, as if he was the bad guy.

"What's going on?", "She's a beggar, right?" everyone was a little at a loss, what should I do?

Hearing what someone said, Ye Wei's powder keg exploded again: "She's a child!!what's the matter? I just wanted to ask what's going on, but no one called the police!?"

There was silence all around, and some middle-aged people looked at him with a stunned gaze, and some left directly. And the young people with unnatural expressions spoke one after another: "I can't manage it if I want to." "You're not afraid of retaliation?" ......

Ye Wei listened, communicated with them, and gradually fell silent.

You can't simply blame them. On the other hand, the awareness of child protection is weak, and "I should not care about why I should care", and they are not clear about the existence of the rescue and protection center for street children and children, and they do not even call the police, and they rush through powerlessly without thinking too much.

He couldn't help but sigh, feeling that he knew more about China, and the ugly side.

I also understand that my parents used to deliberately prevent him from being exposed to this side so early, so they came to travel mainly for fun, not that they had never seen beggars, but there had never been such a situation, like the whole country was committing crimes all the time. Mom and Dad have good intentions, otherwise it would be difficult for him to love and tolerate this country that still needs to be developed in all aspects as much as he does now.

In an instant, Ye Wei made two decisions.

First, we should use our influence to make this matter a hot topic in China and attract widespread attention, so as to promote progress in this area. The key to the quantitative to the qualitative change at all stages of the development of things is usually a sensational event, just like the deceived girl incident that led to a downward trend in the entertainment industry in Los Angeles, and it is hoped that China will build a "fat girl system" as a result.

The second is to set up a special charitable fund for child protection in China to help the development of long-term effective child protection organizations in the mainland. These are left to the professionals, who are responsible for the money, and they are responsible for doing the work.

This is not a fight, this war with human traffickers must be fought, must be won, will definitely be won.

After a while, the police finally came, and they were wordy, and then the people of the Municipal Center for the Rescue and Protection of Stray Children who received the call were not wordy.

Ye Wei followed all the way to the child care center in Luogang District, confirmed that it was true, and was a little relieved to see the fat girl being taken to medical care. But the chubby chick will most likely not be able to return to her family, and she has no idea at all that she is not running away from home or getting lost...... Waiting for her was a welfare home.

After leaving the child care center, he took a taxi directly back to the White Swan Hotel.

Back in the hotel suite, he checked a lot on the Internet, and the more he looked, the more shocking he became.

As early as 2003, several important tragedies occurred, such as the "Sun Zhigang Incident", which led China to issue a new "Administrative Measures for the Relief of Wandering and Begging Persons in Cities with No Livelihood", and at the same time repealed the "Measures for the Reception and Repatriation of Urban Wandering and Begging Persons", which had been in place for 21 years.

The problem of child beggars has also attracted the attention of the whole of China because of the "Gong Xuanxuan Incident" that occurred in the rescue of a 12-year-old disabled girl by well-meaning citizens in Baiyun District, Guangzhou. In January 2004, a series of reports entitled "Cracking Down on the Manipulation of Begging Gangs" caused a sensation in China, including "Who Makes the Begging Girl's Hands and Feet Rot", "Thousands of Miles of Tracking and Digging Out Shocking "Secrets"", "Guangzhou Cracks Down on Begging and Suppresses Beggars for Profit", "Manipulating Little Beggars and Sentences for Eight Years......

8 years?only 8 years!?

Things were far more complicated than he thought, at that time, those beggars were all from the "beggar township" in Anhui Province, Taihe County, Fuyang "begging village" Gong Xiao Village, whether healthy or disabled, whether the children were voluntarily handed over by their parents to the hands of the black boss, and there was also a contract called "rent agreement", just to make money, the local area was too poor.

Despite being concerned, despite being governed, to the present, there is still "Gong Xuanxuan", which is still continuing.

Guangzhou, which has received the most attention and has the greatest governance, is like this, but what about other cities?

After reading the relevant news, Ye Wei felt a deep powerlessness, but his determination to do something was even greater. Those who were sent away by their parents, abducted, Gong Xuanxuan, chubby girls, all the street children need help, and all the broken families need help.

He also found a new website on the Internet with a good idea, "Baby Home Seeking Subnet", and there is a "Baby Home Volunteer Association" offline, which seems to be the only non-governmental organization that can be found on the Chinese Internet, but it has just begun. Zhang Baoyan and Qin Yanyou, the couple ran an institution at their own expense because they had experienced their son's lost horror before.

After some understanding, Ye Wei immediately called to express his identity and willingness to cooperate, and ran this new organization well.

He wasn't afraid that "Baby Come Home" was a deceptive organization, and when his Foundation team took over, it would be better if it was true, and if it was fake, it would become true. But Zhang Baoyan was even more puzzled: "Film director?" "Yes, film director!

If these tragedies can be ended and let him shoot "Fantasy Elf Incident Book", he will not hesitate.

In any case, use your star effect and do a little bit.

Ye Wei immediately contacted Peter-Loehr, general manager of CAA China: "Peter, arrange media interviews and announcements for me in China, the more the better. Luo Yi asked with a little surprise: "Do you want to work?" Ye Wei said, "I want to help." ”

He told Luo Yi his plans, but the Chinese expert, who has worked and lived in China for 11 years and is the "best foreign aid" in the Chinese film industry, exclaimed: "NO!"

This white American seems to know China better than he does, and he speaks a lot in fluent Mandarin: "Brother Wei, if you do this kind of thing in your identity, many Chinese people will be disgusted with you, what are you pointing fingers at as an American? The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, who wants you to take care of it? The Western media will also seize the opportunity to attack China, and many people will think that you are smearing China, this is not the United States, and if you are not happy, you will be banned." CAA values your market in China very much, and if you get blocked, you're going to mess up. ”

"Sorry, Peter, even if the CAA breaks the contract with me, I'm going to do it. Ye Wei sneered, "I-dont-care-what-the-hell blocking, I-just-care, can this become the last catalyst incident in the protection of street children in China, I want to make a big deal about it, I want to 'kill the fruit and drop the street'." ”

The frightened Luo Yi couldn't understand the last sentence.

"Fuck those scumbags. "Attention. In January 2004, a series of reports entitled "Cracking Down on the Manipulation of Begging Gangs" caused a sensation in China, including "Who Makes the Begging Girl's Hands and Feet Rot", "Thousands of Miles of Tracking and Digging Out Shocking "Secrets"", "Guangzhou Cracks Down on Begging and Suppresses Beggars for Profit", "Manipulating Little Beggars and Sentences for Eight Years......
