In August, the sky of Daliangshan was clear, and Wang Fumei, deputy head of Lada Township, Butuo County, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture started a day's work early in the morning. She drove through the narrow winding road to Bosi Township with an average elevation of over 2,700 meters. Driving along the steep cliffs, Wang Fumei did not feel nervous at all, because this is the way she walks almost every day.
At the same time, there was a burst of books in the Temu Li Primary School. Teacher Ji Di Mo Shi took the children to recite the text; Xi Cheng Community, the Women's Federation Chairman Lin Yulan carefully checked the information and confirmed the schooling situation of the school-age children.
It's hard to imagine that they have a small career, but they have dropped out of school 30 years ago. The “Spring Bud Project” initiated by the China Children and Teenagers’ Fund launched two “Spring Buds Program” pilot classes in Buto County in 1992 to provide financial support for girls who have dropped out of school to help them continue their studies. Wang Fumei, Ji Dimo Shi Liu and Lin Yulan all completed their studies with the help of the “Spring Bud Program” and moved towards a better life...
"If it is not your support, there will be no me today."
The small conditions in the village are very bad. "It is a few tables in the earth house. There are only substitute teachers. If you don't study at the end of the class, you can only wait for the next substitute teacher." And as soon as they step into the pilot class, they leave. Into a new world, the pilot class is "wide and spacious, with desks and chairs, school uniforms, and the bedding of the dormitory are all new. Each department has a special teacher, not a penny, and a small village. It’s a different day.” Ji Di Mo Shi Liu recalled.
It is not only the pilot classes that change their destiny, but also their desire for reading. "I dropped out of elementary school, stayed at home for three years, and booked a doll, and almost married a child." Wang Fumei said that one day; relatives told her that there was a "Spring Bud Program" pilot class that she can go to school without money.
She happily went home to tell her parents, but she was fiercely opposed. The man’s family, who was dear, worried that she would go far away when she read the book. As the biggest child in the family, Wang Fumei wants to do farm work and bring her younger siblings. If she goes to school, she will have one less labor force at home, so her mother does not agree.
"Don't let me study, I would rather die." Wang Fumei did not know where to come, and began a hunger strike, not letting the book never move chopsticks, and the food was not eaten before the eyes. Time passed by, and my relatives and friends began to worry. "If you are really dead, let her study." Looking at Wang Fumei, who is so obsessed, his parents finally let go. At this time, Wang Fumei had a hunger strike on the first day for 7 days.
Jidi Mo Shi Liu and Lin Yulan also experienced some struggles and successfully obtained the opportunity to go to school. When they talked about the pilot class, their gratitude was overwhelming, and the help of the teachers made them particularly impressed.
"When the teacher sees a good article in the newspaper, he will bring it to the classroom." "The teacher often gives us a 'open small stove', as long as it is at school, it will not be hungry." After Wang Fumei graduated from elementary school, with the strong support of the class teacher, she was able to go to junior high school. She is even grateful. "If it is not your support, there will be no me today."
"The satisfaction of the people is my satisfaction."
With the help of the “Spring Bud Program”, they completed their studies and returned to Buto County, where they lived in the depths of the Great Liangshan Mountains.
When I first came to Boshi Village, I met two children who went to kindergarten. "Auntie is good." They ran to say hello happily. "The children in the village all know me." Wang Fumei has some "satisfaction". "Since 2016, the cement road inside the village, the road between the group and the group are all me fixed and fixed. In order to ensure the quality of the project, I have to run up the mountain two times a day. Other work can only be completed at noon."
Walking on the hard and tidy village road, facing a villager holding a cow, he walked straight and pointed at a piece of cockroaches on the neck of the cow. "Help me see what is going on here?", Wang Fumei expertly picked up Mobile phone, squat, take pictures from all angles, send to relevant platforms, wait for experts to answer. "The potatoes are sick and the facilities are broken... The villagers are willing to find us." Wang Fumei said with a smile, "My goal is not high, I can get the approval of the people. The satisfaction of the people is my satisfaction."
Not only material help, Wang Fumei always pays attention to the psychological dynamics of the villagers. There is a mother and son in the village. The son Amin is young and strong. He refuses to work and does not speak Chinese. The wall of the house is The earth wall and the ceiling are made of grass. Wang Fumei looked in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. "You are so young, how to go outside to work is more expensive than at home. After you go out, you can learn Chinese well and earn money." Follow Wang Fumei's suggestion and go out to work. After that, Amin’s standard of living improved. With his personal efforts and the help of the government, the house became a bright two-bedroom house with a little money. Amin always said: "Now it is much better than before."
"The roads up and down the mountain pass, and the grain and livestock can be sold by motorcycles. The black pork on our side is good." Pointed at the little black pig who was eating and eating, Wang Fumei said.
Gudi Mo Shi Liu put each student on the apex. One of the parents of the students did not want their children to go to school. Teacher Ji and his colleagues went to the door for three consecutive days to persuade them. The first day they knocked on the door and no one answered. The next day they did not want to open the door. On the third day, they finally met with each other. What makes Geji’s teacher happy is that “the current ‘control is very strict,’ and there are no more children who have dropped out of school.”
“Controlling the school” is one of the key points of the work of Lin Yulan, the president of the Community Women’s Federation. They need to go to the school to confirm whether every child in the community is going to school. "I am running school almost every day, but I have to deal with some schools. I have been running for about 2 months." It must be very hard, but "we can rest assured that when we see the children at school."
"Use your own story, more convincing"
When I was young, Wang Fumei needed to bring her younger siblings, do housework, and go to school. When my younger brother and sister cried, they squatted outside the classroom and listened to classes in the classroom when they were squatting. Lin Yulan went to the streetlights to read books at night, often until 1 am... In the case of poor foundation, difficult conditions, and inability to concentrate on learning, they can stand out from the class and are inseparable from their personality.
The spirit of training in the growing environment is not only for them personally, but also passed on to their countless people in their words and deeds.
The labor commissioner of the Jidi Mosi Liu Banli, who is a tall man, wants to go out to work and does not want to study. Teacher Ji Di looked in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. "When I was a child, I had to work while reading, going back to the water, so the heavy bucket was pressed on my small back, walking and swaying, and the whole body would be wet. Throughout, when I read a book at home, I can only order kerosene lamps. Sometimes kerosene lamps are reluctant to point. My father is burning fire. I read books by light..." A Niu listened to crying, and the whole person suddenly changed. Teacher Ji Di was very emotional: "If you don't persuade, maybe he can only do some physical work now."
The students are very fond of Teacher Ji Di. The fifth grade English and English said: "Ji Di teacher is everyone's role model. There are more than half of the students in the class who want to be teachers." Two little uncles of Ji Di Mo Shi Liu, one in kindergarten Teacher, there is also a university just graduated, do not want to do anything else, just want to be a teacher...
In the village, there is still a patriarchal atmosphere. In the face of this situation, Wang Fumei and the villagers chatted about their family: "I am a daughter and married, but if my parents are ill, I will still take care of you. Well, let her study, her own life is good, and she will definitely return her parents." The villagers felt her ability and responsibility, and the wind of equality between men and women slowly blew into the hearts of the villagers. "Use your own story, more convincing." Wang Fumei said with a smile.
“Doing what the villagers can do”, “Teach the children well, let them go out”, “Let every child in the community go to school”... When it comes to future plans, they don’t have many ambitious ambitions, but the change happened quietly without knowing it.
The same is true of the “Spring Bud Program”. Since its inception in 1989, 27.84 million people have donated, raised 2.1 billion yuan, funded more than 3.69 million poor girls, helped build 1811 spring bud schools, and distributed 2.17 million sets of buds manuals... this huge and abstract number Behind it, there is a life that is beautiful and lively, and it shines brightly because of the "Spring Bud Program." The girls’ gratitude to the “Spring Bud Program” turned to their motivation to change their own and others’ fate. "Spring Bud Girls" walked out of the mountains and returned to the mountains. Love and hope were passed down from generation to generation on the land of the Great Liangshan Mountains.
