In September, with the lingering heat of "Beijing Meets Seattle" still lingering, Damimi was once so popular that even a bowl of beef noodles at the airport was trending on Weibo.
However, Cao Xuan and Hu Jing had no time to care about her. Now the whole family's attention was focused on their two children.
At the beginning of the new school year, 6-year-old Cao Li was officially promoted from kindergarten to primary school, while Cao Yang, who is almost 3 years old, also entered the kindergarten early.
Cao Yang went to the same kindergarten as her sister, which was affiliated with Beijing Normal University.
Cao Li was supposed to go directly to the Experimental Primary School Affiliated to Jingshi University in Xicheng, also called [Jingshi Affiliated Primary School].
This kind of school is one of the oldest primary schools in Beijing. It seems to have been around during the Guangxu period. It has produced many celebrities, such as the famous Director Chen, and some leaders came from this primary school.
The school is not big, with only a dozen classes in total. It is very difficult for students to get into the school. Most of them recruit students from the National Normal University and students with special education. Their parents must meet the requirements such as Beijing household registration. It is said that in the end, they have to pay some sponsorship fees, which is about 8 to 10 yuan a year.
Ten thousand.
This small amount of money is a small thing for the Cao family. They also have housing in the school district, including a bungalow and a building.
However, Cao Li was unwilling to go because the school was too old. It was located in an old courtyard with a quiet environment and simple staff.
Maybe for other children, this is a good experience, and parents also think it is awesome.
But Cao Li really doesn't like this old-fashioned primary school.
His own home is a courtyard house, and the previous kindergarten was mainly bungalows. Cao Li was tired of living there.
Because of her parents, this child doesn't have many opportunities to go out to play and makes few friends, so the quiet and simplicity that others yearn for is actually a burden to her.
Cao Li likes big schools with thousands of people, where he can run around in several-story teaching buildings and large playgrounds, which is lively, fulfilling and happy.
Cao Xuan loved his daughter. Anyway, the family didn't care much about her academic performance, so she just followed her child's wishes.
Putting aside the choice of famous or prestigious schools, I mainly focused on issues such as teacher quality, popularity, safety, etc., and finally chose a second-rate primary school - a five-star primary school.
This primary school is located at the junction of Xicheng and Haidian. It is not far from my home and is only four or five bus stops away. It is not well-known, but in fact, the conditions are good in all aspects, and it belongs to the second-tier and first-tier schools.
Maybe it’s because the school was founded relatively recently and was only opened in 1995, so it’s not as conspicuous as those old schools and schools with key government support.
Zeng Li has a colleague whose son goes to school here. She made a special inspection and found that the school has a good atmosphere, the management is relatively formal, and there is no mess. It can be considered a high-quality primary school.
Five-star Primary School just built a five-story teaching building in the past two years. There are more than 2,000 teachers and students in the school. In the eyes of Xiao Cao Li, it is definitely a dream school.
The only drawback is that the playground is a bit old. My daughter came back and complained about it. Boss Cao was thinking about how to find an excuse to support education construction and donate a playground for children to go to school.
Since becoming a primary school student, Cao Li has been very active and goes to school happily wearing his school uniform every day.
The first thing she did when she got home was to share with her mother how many good friends she had made. She even discussed taking the bus to school independently, but unfortunately her mother suppressed her.
Compared with Cao Li, Cao Yang, who went to kindergarten, was in a worse situation. He didn't want to go to school, which was much more difficult than his sister back then.
But her biological mother was much more ruthless than Zeng Li.
Although Empress Xigong was strict back then, she still coaxed her when she needed to. Hu Jing, on the other hand, was not used to her son at all. She felt that her elder sister was able to go to school honestly, and there was a little boy who had the nerve to make trouble, so he was not considered a man.
Cao Yang: "..."
He just stopped wearing crotchless pants before summer, so it's still too early for him to talk about being a man or not.
Hu Jing plays the role of a strict mother, while Cao Xuan can only be a loving father. He picks up and drop off when he has time in the first few days of school, which somewhat compensates Cao Yang's young mind.
However, Cao Xuan did not compensate for it for too long. In mid-September, he had to leave and go to Shenzhen City to shoot "Dear".
………
As an emerging first-tier city, Shenzhen City has considerable economic strength and good conditions in all aspects. The only area where it is relatively weak may be the cultural field.
Cao Xuan came to Shenzhen City to make a movie, and the theme of the movie was anti-trafficking, so Shenzhen City officials still took it very seriously.
The opening ceremony of "Dear" was very special. It did not focus on the movie. Instead, it invited many people who were looking for relatives to talk about and promote it, and used the influence of the crew and Cao Xuan to try to add some influence.
At the scene, Cao Xuan also saw the prototype of the "Dear" movie story.
There are mainly five people, namely Mr. Peng, Mr. Sun, Ms. Wu and Du Xiaohua, as well as Ms. Gao, the prototype of the heroine.
The first four were all abducted family members. Ms. Gao was more complicated. Her husband was a human trafficker and the abducted child was given to him to raise. She was unaware of it. Later, after mediation, the child was returned.
Many of the plots of the heroine in the original movie were artistically processed, and Ms. Gao did not know about it. Later, director Chen Kexin also apologized specifically.
From the perspective of film shooting, artistic processing is normal, because in real life it is very dull and the story is not interesting enough, so certain adaptations must be made.
Including several other prototypes, although it is mainly based on their own stories, it also incorporates many shadows and events of other abducted families.
The most important thing is to explain this clearly to the person concerned, and you can only change it if they agree.
Chen Kexin has done well in several other families, but it may be that Ms. Gao's position is not glorious and she has relatively few connections. In addition, the character itself is not easy to portray. If it is overheated, it will inevitably cause resentment of the prototype.
Ms. Gao was still not present this time, so Fanxing sent someone to contact her to discuss the script with her.
He deleted some plots that he thought were particularly excessive, and was willing to provide certain financial compensation and provide immediate clarification after the release, and finally got the approval.
As for the other four archetypes, I basically don’t have any opinions. Maybe for other people, it’s their own scars and they don’t want to cut them open for others to see.
But they were eager to find their relatives and were unwilling to miss any opportunity to publicize the search for their relatives. They even discussed that Cao Xuan was participating in the film, which was a much-desired exposure for them.
Cao Xuan specifically chatted with a few people and found out how hard they had gone through over the years, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.
He is also a father and understands very well what it means to parents when their children are abducted.
Cao Xuan couldn't even imagine how he would feel if the two sisters Cao Li were abducted one day. Just thinking about the beginning would make his hair stand on end and his skin crawling all over his body.
Although there were many other reasons why he chose to film "Dear", helping these abducted families was also an important original intention.
After chatting for a long time, Mr. Sun, headed by the last few people, couldn't help but make two requests.
One is that I hope to add my phone number at the end of the movie, just in case there is any news about me.
Nishinomiya, who had been listening with slightly red eyes, couldn't help but ask.
"There may be a lot of troublemakers, even liars."
"I'm not afraid of liars, I'm afraid that one day even liars won't lie to me anymore."
Mr. Sun smiled firmly, and Cao Xuan was a little moved: "No problem, if you have any other requests, I will do my best to satisfy you."
"We would like to ask you to post on Weibo to promote our family-finding website. It would be best to invite more celebrities to forward it."
Mr. Sun was a little embarrassed, but still reluctant to take this opportunity. He knew that Cao Xuan had tens of millions of fans on Weibo, had many contacts at his disposal, and had extremely high traffic, so he still wanted to take advantage of the popularity.
Since his debut, Cao Xuan has been criticized countless times, but this time it is one of the few times he has been criticized without any negative emotions.
"Just promoting the website is not enough, so how about you go back and contact my assistant to sort out the children's information. From now on, I will set aside a day on Weibo every other week to help post information about missing children.
To prevent poor results, send 10 to 20 family-seeking information a day, so as to maximize the attention of netizens."
Joy from heaven!
Mr. Sun and others looked at each other and kept expressing their gratitude. One of them was so excited that he even knelt down to express his gratitude. Cao Xuan quickly stopped him.
"I'm just trying my best. If possible, I would like to post once a day, but Weibo is a social platform after all, and many public and private matters are useful, so we can only handle it this way.
And I can only guarantee myself. Other celebrities and artists may have their own difficulties, so I can help, but I hope you can forgive me if I can't guarantee it."
"That's great. Thank you very much."
It was too late for Mr. Sun to be grateful. There was no hint of dissatisfaction at all. He left with a lot of thanks. Cao Xuan personally sent him to the car and turned to look at Zeng Li.
Empress Xigong gave him a thumbs up: "Well done, I'll be part of the Weibo search for a bride."
Cao Xuan nodded. He planned to do this for a long time. He would send out as much information as he could. After sending out the information, he would then count the ones that were not found and send them out again.
He couldn't guarantee how effective it would be, but it was better than nothing.
Regarding other celebrities, Cao Xuan hopes that everyone can do more things that are beneficial to society, but he will not force them. If they are willing to follow him, they will follow him. If they don't follow him, they will not look at him differently.
As I said before, celebrities' accounts have strong commercial value. Cao Xuan doesn't care, but it doesn't mean that other celebrities can be completely independent.
Mr. Sun and the others acted quickly and gave the advance information to Cao Xuan's assistant the next day. When Cao Xuan looked at the list, his heart sank again.
There are 3,000 people on the preliminary list alone, which means that 3,000 families have been torn apart.
Cao Xuan felt uncomfortable after seeing this, so he asked his assistant to compile a list and prepare to send out the first wave when the traffic is heavy on weekends.
Later, he inquired about Mr. Sun's mutual aid organization and found that many people were not having an easy time.
Because I often travel to look for relatives, my job is unstable, I don’t have enough financial resources, and I have to pay for food, accommodation, travel expenses, and sometimes it costs money to make some posters, stickers, etc., so my life is extremely difficult.
Cao Xuan remained silent and asked the Tomorrow Foundation to investigate and allocate 20 million, half of which will be used to provide targeted support to some poor, elderly and weak families, and the other half will be used to help them find relatives.
Cao Xuan acted very low-key, but Mr. Sun and the others were not stupid, especially since the relationship between the Tomorrow Foundation and Cao Xuan was not a secret, so they called specifically to express their thanks.
To be honest, it's not like they haven't met kind-hearted people, and the society is willing to help them a lot.
But there are really very few people like Cao Xuan who spend a lot of money and efforts and have such a huge influence. The help given to them personally and to the organization is very great, and I have to be grateful.
"As I said before, I am also doing something within my power. Please ask Brother Sun to tell everyone that I firmly believe that you will all be reunited as a family one day."
Cao Xuan is not comforting. Three of the four prototypes mentioned above have found their relatives in the original time and space.
Mr. Peng found the child before the movie was released, so the movie is based on that. Ms. Wu found her brother three years after the movie was released.
Mr. Sun also found his son in 2021, and it also caused a lot of popularity on the Internet and was hailed as a reality movie.
Only [Du Xiaohua] has no good news for the time being. His son’s name is [Du Houqi]. He was trafficked in NMG in 2011. He was only 6 years old at the time. He should be in high school by 2022.
Cao Xuan was actually thinking about giving Wu and Sun a boost to reunite them in advance, but to be honest, he really didn't remember much information.
He only knew that Ms. Wu had been found, and almost no other information was known. Mr. Sun read the news about the reunion because of the popularity, and did not delve too much into it. He only vaguely remembered that he found it in Shandong Province.
Cao Xuan wondered if he could find a suitable reason to reveal this information to Mr. Sun without affecting himself, and then help him. The rest would depend on the luck of Mr. Sun and his son.
Within two days, Cao Xuan temporarily shifted his energy to the filming of "Dear".
But what he did still caused a great impact on the Internet.
Although there have been an endless stream of new top stars in recent years, King Cao will always be the sun of the Chinese entertainment industry.
Whether he is starring in anti-trafficking movies, or promoting family-finding information on Weibo, or even being discovered by reporters as making donations to Mr. Sun and others, he is praised by everyone.
Although Cao Xuan has some controversies in his life style, aside from this point, he is definitely one of the best role models in other aspects.
Especially in terms of charity, it may be a bit exaggerated to call him a saint, but there are few people who are more generous than him. He invests countless funds and performs countless good deeds every year. The key is that he is very low-key.
This is also the reason why Cao Xuan is occasionally exposed to live a luxurious life, but not many people are disgusted.
People have made so much money, and if they use part of it for charity, why don’t they keep some for enjoyment?
More radically, he even said that Cao Xuan had helped so many people and deserved to be rich, rich, and wealthy throughout his life.
Cao Xuan doesn't care too much about the praise given to him by the outside world. He prefers people to praise his works or achievements, but he is very shy about charity.
He is afraid that one day he will become a living Bodhisattva. Everyone knows that living Bodhisattvas are the easiest to bully.
The evil man put down his butcher's knife and became a Buddha immediately.
If a Bodhisattva breaks any precepts, he will become a demon and be despised by others.
If it weren't for the purpose of helping these abducted families and spreading the influence as much as possible, he would not violate his charity philosophy and help people in such a big way.
However, what makes Cao Xuan more gratified is that the two weeks of Weibo publicity actually led to the successful recovery of an abducted child.
Seeing a family crying in the news, Cao Xuan felt that even if this matter did not meet his standards, he would stick to it.
