Chapter 2367 deep in the mountains
In the mountains of Maozhou, day after day, life is always calm and seems to be without any turmoil. The mountains are natural barriers, blocking the outside world. Even if the technology is so developed, everything is changing rapidly at a rocket speed. However, this place is still a small village that was once calm and simple, still maintaining the natural beauty and scenery.
And the people here still maintain their simple and kind nature, and use their hands and labor steadily and diligently to create a better life for themselves and their children and grandchildren.
However, changes are still happening little by little. The place where once could be described as being isolated from the world. The endless mountains protected its children, but also caused the people living there to suffer from poverty. Because of the closure and inconvenient transportation, there are only winding mountain roads. If you want to go out, you can only walk. You have to walk for several hours to go to school. Even the harvest in the fields has to be carried out by physical strength or picked out to the town to sell for money. Not to mention that the terrain in the mountains is complicated. Once it encounters heavy rain, there are often mudslides, and even such roads will be submerged, which may even cause life danger.
In such a poor place, survival is extremely stressful, not to mention studying, school and receiving education, not to mention that few people are willing to be teachers in such remote areas. Therefore, many people in this mountain have just a few words to know. It is already a great thing to be able to go to the town to study in middle school.
And all of this happened decades ago. Decades ago, a very accidental opportunity a young man and woman entered the mountain and left without staying for a long time. This was a small thing for the unchanging life of the people in the mountain, so no one thought that their arrival would bring about earth-shaking changes to the mountain. Because, for thousands of years, no one could do anything natural for generations, and everyone had already accepted their fate. Who would hope for two young people who appeared by chance, and no one would even remember this.
However, in the past few decades, the village schools were gradually built, and young people came to teach. Not only was it free for voluntary purposes, but it also brought many things to the children that they had never seen or heard of in the mountains, making them full of yearning for the world outside the mountains, and began to yearn for going out and seeing the wider world outside. Young people also gradually began to work and work in big cities. Some heard that they had made a lot of money, while others were very ordinary, but their lives were at least much better than the poverty they had in the past.
Then the road was gradually built up. The biggest problem that once plagued people in the deep mountains was solved, and various cars began to enter and exit the mountains, which became much more convenient. Later, I heard that he was a very famous entrepreneur. Because his wife had taught in the mountains, he was very familiar with the situation in the mountains and had a deep relationship. With the goal of giving back to society and improving the lives of the people in the mountains, he established a foundation and came to Maozhou in person and jointly started poverty alleviation projects. It was not as loud as before, as it used to be, nor was it all allocated subsidies to distribute rice, flour, grain, and oil, but to improve roads in the mountains little by little, as well as the construction of hospitals, communications, and infrastructure, which were things that I didn't dare to think about in the past, were gradually entering the mountains.
It is said that such projects start at several hundred million at will. This shocked people who had rarely seen red banknotes in the mountains before. For them, this money is not just astronomical. They can't imagine how to make so much money. What is spent on these things? It's really heartbreaking to watch the money flow like water.
At first, many people didn't understand, thinking that besides building roads and hospitals, it was useful and could facilitate everyone's life. What's the meaning of other things? Some people even said that it would be better to build a few decent buildings for everyone to have this money.
But this cannot be said to be short-sighted, mainly because of the poverty in the past that they were afraid of being poor and did not have the ability to come into contact with these things. So the more this happens, the more it means that fundamentally changing everyone's thoughts is the most important.
Gradually, people in the mountain village knew that the money was not spent in vain. With the construction of these infrastructures, not only was it convenient for everyone to live, but more importantly, it is now more and more people are paying attention to it. The mountains themselves have rich resources, various precious minerals, medicinal materials, wild animals and plants, as well as the skills of the mountain people, including this unique natural scenery, which are the most precious resources. However, due to various transportation reasons, there has been no way to develop them, so in fact they are starving to the mountains.
Now poverty alleviation projects have improved these environments and are actively introducing enterprises to invest. Factory buildings and companies that have never been in the mountains have been gradually established, including tourist attractions and film and television bases.
Suddenly, people in the mountains no longer have to leave their hometowns and go to big cities far away from home to work, and can become workers directly in the mountains. Some people who are more flexible can work as tour guides, run a farmhouse at their own home, or buy a car to transport goods and pull people. The ways to make money suddenly increased. Some people can get thousands or even more a month, but in the past, this was the family's annual income.
Fortunately, despite the changes in life, the mountain is still the same mountain, and the people in the mountain still maintain their simple and kind nature. They will be full of gratitude to those who bring them any help, such as Teacher Li from the school.
