Cheng Dong "reported" his work to Liu Lang. He was a little cautious at first, but Liu Lang asked some small questions from time to time, and he answered them, so he became more and more confident and his nervousness disappeared.
In the past six months, the foundation has done a lot. In addition to bringing in financial firms from Hong Kong Island, it has also vigorously promoted itself and held two "Project Hope" photography exhibitions in the capital. Most of these photos were taken by Wang Nan when he followed Ling Feng.
These photos were taken during the filming of "Eight Thousand Miles of Road, Clouds and Moon", as well as those taken while supporting poor teenagers in rural areas last year.
Later, it attracted great attention from the society and was even featured on the news network. Many people felt that they were living a very hard life and could not eat meat as much as they wanted. However, let alone the children in these photos, they did not eat meat.
Even refined grains are rarely eaten, and the food in their bowls is filled with rice bran and wild grass. This kind of food would be shocking even in China in the 1980s.
There were many photos placed in a conference room on the second floor, and Liu Lang went upstairs specifically.
Liu Lang saw a picture of a child walking on a mountain path carrying a bundle of firewood. The child looked to be only seven or eight years old. He was thin and dry, and the pile of firewood on his shoulders was almost taller than him.
He raised his head and looked at the camera, his eyes as pure as a pool of clear water. A child who was supposed to go to school could only help his parents work in order to make a living. If they didn't work, they would probably not be able to survive.
There is also a photo of a dozen children sitting in a shabby thatched hut and reading aloud with old books. They seem to be studying, but the thatched hut steals the shot because it has no roof and the roof is blowing in the strong wind.
The middle school was blown away, and there was no time to renovate it. In order not to delay their studies, these children studied in this house without a roof. The principal went to the mountains to cut down trees, and he wanted to take advantage of the lunch break to quickly put down the roof.
Repair it, otherwise there will be no place for children to study when it rains.
There are so many photos like this. Even Liu Lang was reborn, he was shocked at this moment. Sun Hu on the side was even more stunned. He knew that the life of farmers was very hard, but he never thought that the life of farmers would be so hard.
This is the real four walls of a family.
Even Liu Lang was shocked by the photos, and others were beyond words.
"Mr. Liu, these two exhibitions have made many people know that there are still so many poor people in our country. We can still afford to eat and go to school. But for these people, even survival is a big deal, and going to school is even more important.
I hope that because of these two exhibitions, the foundation has received donations from people from all walks of life and enterprises, more than three million yuan in just six months, and this money will allow tens of thousands of students to return to school."
Cheng Dong explained on the side, his tone full of pride.
"Yes! Our country is a developing country. It is far behind those developed countries. But we are a united country. All nationalities are united together. When one side is in trouble, all sides will come to help. As long as every city citizen takes a
If you give them a dollar to help them, these children will be able to eat and study. Perhaps in twenty years, some of them will become scientists and entrepreneurs and contribute to our country and our nation."
Liu Lang said softly.
China now has a population of one billion, of which nearly 800 million are farmers. Most of the 800 million farmers live in poverty. If any country in the world wants to solve the poverty problem of so many people within a few decades, it will be almost impossible.
It is impossible, but China has done it. From the reform and opening up in 1978, until 20 years later, hundreds of millions of people nationwide have been lifted out of poverty. By 30 years later, the lives of farmers have actually made the city poorer.
People here yearn for it.
Simply by solving the poverty problem of 800 million farmers, China's reform and opening up is a miracle in world history, something that other countries dare not even think about.
When Liu Lang left, he told the other party that if Wang Nan had anything to do in the future, he could call his home or go directly to Fucheng to find him.
On the fifth day after Liu Lang returned to the capital, he took a special car and once again arrived at the core of the country. The country would hold a celebration meeting for reform and opening up in October. There had been many seminars before and many dignitaries from other countries would be invited.
Liu Lang came to the meeting with entrepreneurs. This time Liu Lang came to attend a meeting where senior officials discussed the stability of the economy this year. He was considered a special guest. Of course, many people thought that he was an economist himself and could do a special topic.
speech.
The last time Liu Lang came here to preside over a meeting, it was Zhao Hongyang, but this time he has retired, and Fang Zhongda has become the helm of the country.
This was not the first time Liu Lang met Fang Zhongda. He had met him the last time he came here, but he was still the chief official of the capital at that time and the two had not spoken.
Fang Zhongda is almost seventy years old, with most of his hair gray. He is in good spirits and full of energy. Physical fitness is the key to becoming the helm of the country. Without good physical fitness, he will not be able to sit in the position at all, and he can handle meetings well.
You are exhausted.
"Little friend Liu Lang! You are finally back. We old guys have been looking forward to it for two years...!"
Fang Zhongda was also very enthusiastic when he saw Liu Lang and walked up to him personally.
"Hello, Grandpa Fang!"
Liu Lang still considers himself a junior. He is a child. Such a title is absolutely universal and can make anyone feel friendly.
"Haha, okay, okay, come on, sit next to me!"
There is a special stool next to Fang Zhongda, which is higher than other stools. It is obviously prepared for a child like Liu Lang, but now Liu Lang has grown up and is over 1.5 meters tall. He looks like
A teenage boy, he is almost the same size as some of the old people present, so sitting on this specially prepared chair, he is almost the same as Fang Zhongda.
"Little guy, you are really a big kid now. You are almost as tall as me, aren't you?"
Sitting on the other side was Bai Weiren, who patted Liu Lang's shoulder and felt that the little guy's body had become stronger.
"Yes! Liu Lang became the top scorer in the college entrance examination at the age of three. We all thought we had discovered a genius. As long as he studied hard, he would definitely become a scientist when he grew up. But he grew up too fast, far beyond our expectations.
Unexpectedly, only five years have passed and he has graduated from graduate school. He has also made such a big name in the United States and made them a lot of money. Now he is back to develop the country's industrial undertakings. I can't even imagine what his future will be like.
Can anyone imagine what it would be like?"
Fang Zhongda was in a good mood and started joking with everyone.
"We can't imagine it either, but it shouldn't be a problem to win the Nobel Prize!"
One of the ministers spoke up.
"I don't think the Nobel Prize is nothing. Many people around the world get this award every year. Liu Lang is unique. There is no one like him in the history of the world, right? When he grows up, he will definitely
He is the most powerful scientist in the world, just like...there is a person in the United States who loves and candid about everything!"
