Chapter 1814 Star Volunteer

When people's lives are difficult and stressful, it is easy to find comfort in other ways.

Young people in 2020 have certainly learned to find the kind of heartiness in the virtual world that is not available in reality.

But in the 1980s, people still used movies, TV, music and books to relieve stress.

Especially TV dramas, because they appear every day, so they have the widest audience.

For example, "Intolerance", which aired in September, caused countless people to find a punching bag, scolding Ding Youkang, played by Wen Zhaolun, bloody, and even turned their anger on Wen Zhaolun himself.

Some people with a rich sense of literature and art took the "What Do You Want in Life" album released at the same time by Chen Baiqiang and listened to it over and over again, especially the song "What Do You Want in Life".

After more than three months of release, relying on the popularity of "Intolerance", "What I Want in Life" has successfully sold more than 3 million copies in Asia, becoming the most popular album this year.

It should be said that Yin Jun has spared no effort in developing Xiangjiang Entertainment in the past few years and his ideas and methods of creating the concept of Greater Asia have been very successful.

Xiangjiang Entertainment's tentacles have already penetrated into most corners of Asia.

In particular, wealthy countries and regions have very good partners who help promote various works and products of the Kirin Group.

This is especially true for music.

Qilin Records, under the leadership of Huang Bogao, led by Queen Teresa Teng and Asia's most handsome man Leslie Cheung, quickly captured the music market in various places.

On the music charts of Japan and South Korea, there are several songs by Hong Kong singers in the top ten for many years.

Two-thirds of Chen Baiqiang's 3 million records are supported by fans from these two countries.

Treasure Island is not weak either.

Although they still secretly refused to directly enter the industrial products related to the Kirin Group, Yin Jun asked Polygram to come forward and adopt the model of selling by Polygram Baodao Company after the buyout, so they would not stop it.

Otherwise, Yin Jun will ask the United States to warn them not to hinder the free trading of the commodity market.

In the past few months, due to the popularity of "What I Want in Life", countless performance companies have wanted to pay 500,000 yuan to invite Chen Baiqiang to sing a song, or directly hold a concert.

There is also an advertising endorsement business alliance that also wants to invite Chen Baiqiang to advertise.

But there was no way to contact this person anywhere. When I looked for Qilin Culture, there was "no comment", as if he had suddenly disappeared.

Amid the speculation in several tabloids, Chen Baiqiang was seriously ill and was undergoing treatment abroad.

This made the fans panic. Many people called or wrote to Qilin Records and Qilin Culture, eager to inquire about his information.

With no other choice, Huang Bogao from Kirin Records accepted an interview and explained that Chen Baiqiang had gone to the mainland to do charity work and would not return until the Chinese New Year.

With him is his good friend and popular fried chicken Zhang Guorong.

They are all doing well now, but transportation and contact are not convenient enough. Please rest assured.

At this point, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But even Leslie Cheung's fans became curious.

Why do they suddenly go to the mainland to do volunteer work? What does it look like?

When they asked again, this time, there was no explanation from Kirin Culture and Kirin Records.

The reason is simple, they don't even know it.

Not to mention them, even Yin Jun didn't know what was going on with them in the mountainous area of ​​Qianzhou.

But Yin Jun must know that these two handsome guys and celebrities must not be living a comfortable life now.

…

Ahem, Yin Jun was right.

Chen Baiqiang and Zhang Guorong, including a large film crew of more than 20 people who followed them, all had a difficult life.

Take today as an example. In the cold and damp winter in the mountainous area of ​​Qianzhou, Zhang Guorong and Chen Baiqiang were wearing two shabby jackets and were teaching children in two shabby primary school classrooms.

Originally, this primary school was abandoned. The original teacher could not bear the poverty and isolation and left long ago, and the children stopped studying.

The school is not in session anymore, so naturally most of the windows here are completely broken. No matter how they are covered with newspapers and cotton cloth, there is no way to prevent the cold wind from pouring in.

The windows on the side are easy to deal with, but the tile roof on the roof is also in tatters. Once it rains, you have to put a basin on the ground. The children hide in places where the rain does not drip to listen to classes. That is called a trouble.

The camera crew was divided into two groups and faithfully recorded everything that happened here.

Like Zhang Guorong and Chen Baiqiang, the down jackets and winter clothes they prepared when they set out from Xiangjiang are now no longer on them, but on the children.

Everyone wore old cotton-padded jackets bought from the county and piled up in the warehouse.

Because they have been piled up for too long, they will break after being worn for a while. Every few days, the aunts and daughters-in-law in the village will take their clothes and mend them.

When Zhang Guorong and Chen Baiqiang came here, they were simply stunned.

They never imagined that there was a poorer place than what was shown on TV.

It's just that the classroom is dilapidated. There are more than 100 households in a village, basically all of them are as thin as ribs, their clothes are shabby, and they don't even have shoes. This is really unimaginable to them.

Both of them were a little scared at first. This is a normal reaction when they suddenly enter an extremely unfamiliar environment and feel at a loss.

But after a few days of contact, they discovered that although the people here were poor, uneducated and didn't know a few words, they had a kind of simplicity and sincerity that people in Xiangjiang City didn't have.

In the classroom, the children's bright and eager eyes for knowledge, as well as their shy and inexpressive kindness, made the two people feel very warm and they also felt that they had a heavy responsibility.

Although the two of them are not very educated celebrities, they still have the most basic knowledge.

They found someone to review and study the textbooks specially compiled in the Mainland for a month in Xiangjiang. After they had mastered them, they came to teach these primary school students.

Zhang Guorong is responsible for teaching Chinese, biology and physical education, and Chen Baiqiang is responsible for teaching mathematics, painting and geography. The two of them also teach the children some English and music after class.

Seeing these two teachers being so serious and responsible, the school-age children from several nearby villages hurriedly, led by their parents, eagerly traveled several miles or more than ten miles of mountain roads to arrive at this elementary school. Please ask the two of you. The teacher also teaches them.

Looking at these children wearing tattered clothes, no shoes, feet covered with mud, hands and feet covered with frostbite, even a hard-hearted person can't help but feel sad, let alone Zhang Guorong and Chen Baiqiang. A kind-hearted person who is already sentimental.

Without saying a word, they directly picked up the children and started class together.

And because it was too dark in the morning and evening and the road was too steep, they asked these children to stay in this village for food and lodging and wait until the weekend before going back.

But these children's families are too poor. Even if they don't have any tuition and fees, they simply can't afford this part of their room and board.

This is easy to handle. Zhang Guorong and Chen Baiqiang are both wealthy people. They directly cover the food and accommodation expenses of all the children, including the children in the village. They do not worry about scarcity but inequality. They naturally understand this truth.

While distributing the materials donated by the Kirin Group brought by the film crew, they also actively purchased various materials from counties more than 50 miles away.

The tattered cotton jacket and cotton trousers I wore were bought from the county warehouse. Their own high-quality clothes had long been given to the children.

"Dong dong dong..."

At 12 noon, the cook rang the broken copper bell on the old tree outside the classroom to remind everyone that it was time for dinner.

"Okay, get out of class is over now!" Zhang Guorong closed the book and said to the children with a smile, "Everyone wash your hands and eat. In the afternoon we will play table tennis with Class 2!"

"yeah……"

A group of children cheered.

In this remote mountainous area, it is impossible to carry out other basketball, football and tennis activities. Table tennis occupies a small area and is easy to organize, so it is very popular among children.

The most powerful ones among them even brought the two teachers under control, causing Zhang Guorong and Chen Baiqiang to unconsciously improve their skills in order to regain their face.

"Thank you for your hard work, teacher!"

After cheering, the children all stood up and bowed to Zhang Guorong.

"You too!" Zhang Guorong smiled brightly. This pure and flawless smile was so handsome that it was faithfully recorded by the two cameras in the front and back of the classroom.

The place to eat is still in the classroom.

This dilapidated school now has only two classrooms and nothing else. Even the small cooking shed was built urgently by the villagers.

Originally, these children in the village would go home to eat, while those from other villages would set up a fire in the village, or borrow the fire from the teacher's stove to heat it up.

Now this school has been designated to be funded by the Kirin Group. Even if Zhang Guorong and Chen Baiqiang leave, and the next volunteer teachers come over, the Kirin Group will be responsible for the meals of the children and teachers, so we specially found a few in the village. The aunt who has free time is responsible for cooking three meals a day for the children.

Whether it is vegetables or meat, they are all bought in several nearby villages.

We cannot say that we have enough fish and meat every day, but meat and meat can be seen in every child’s bowl, which is a hard indicator.

Originally they refused to accept money even if it was life or death, but the people in the Kirin Group also had to formulate rules and calculate the prices according to the county. They also told them that this was a long-term thing and they couldn't just give it up for three to five years. Money, right?

Therefore, these purchases have stimulated people's enthusiasm for agriculture to a certain extent.
