Chapter 1,277: A Fist
In the past, in Shanghai, what you saw most was the hurried pace. Everyone was busy for struggle. In such a prosperous city of China's economy, you saw the young people who tried to prove their value in the high-rise buildings, and the middle-aged people who continued to work hard for their lives and goals. Only in some old urban areas could you see some comfortable elderly people. Even so, it was only occasionally. During holidays or after school, you would see old people carrying schoolbags for their grandchildren and taking them to various remedial classes.
One of the symbols of this city is the hurried pace. If you don't do this, you will find that this city is resisting your existence, and then even your qualification to exist will be slowly deprived by the latecomers.
There is nothing new here in the New Year. As the end of the Lunar New Year approaches, the snowstorm has forced many companies to slow down, including those Fortune 500 companies and large companies in China that are ahead of Forbes.
It's a rare sunny day. According to everyone's inherent understanding, everyone should hurry to work and start some delayed work...
The picture is not like this. On such a sunny day, domestic companies first set an example. We left some necessary staff to carry out the work that was not fully carried out on the roads that were affected before. The remaining employees were given paid holidays to let everyone go to the streets to complete the work of "melting" the city.
There are many people in the streets and alleys, but they are no longer in a hurry. There are not so many volunteer clothes. The cold winter weather does not allow some T-shirts. Everyone is like the aunties in the neighborhood committee, with a red armband on their arms. This is the logo of the volunteers.
Everyone helps the professionals to do some peripheral work, and frees up those professionals to dredge the city drainage pipes when they should dredge the sewers, and repair some aging power lines and water pipes when they should repair them. It's a rare sunny day. The work on the surface of the city cannot hold them back. They should be allowed to go to the places where they are most needed. Stars bring volunteers to do these simple tasks on the ground.
There were hundreds of artists gathered in Shanghai on this day. According to the arrangement of some performances or activities in the past, this period of time was either for rehearsal or styling. Charity performances did not require styling, but normally, in order to start the fundraising performances in the afternoon, everyone should have a good rest and be in the best condition.
No.
No one called for it, but there were quite a number of people who took the initiative to realize that they could still exert their appeal and influence this morning and take to the streets to give the volunteers who were braving the cold wind the best source of confidence.
Seeing that the stars took to the streets, the volunteers who felt unfair no longer had resentment. Stars are the closest to them and need to look up to them. On weekdays, they can be dissatisfied and feel that they are nothing great. You see, at this time, everyone subconsciously thinks that stars should donate and donate more. Seeing stars doing charity work down-to-earth has a great impact on ordinary people. Many people's impression of artists has also changed in this snow disaster. Needless to say, fans are very motivated to see their idols do such things. There are many universities in Shanghai, and all universities have suspended classes. These young people with the most energetic attitude have become the main force to "melt" the city.
In fact, there are not many things that need to be done by everyone, such as carrying some materials, helping to clear traffic, and clearing snow. There are some special volunteers who drive vehicles to help transport various materials and professionals, and also help some people whose living conditions are not allowed by the snow disaster to temporarily move to some resettlement areas, some small hotels and family hotels in the city, and the government pays for them to live for free. Help some damaged old houses to make simple repairs, and deal with some roads that are not easy to be affected by snow and water ice. These are all jobs that everyone can do.
When the power of the group is brought to its limit, there will be an uplifting momentum. Under the camera's record, it conveys a very strong force. Even those who only care about their own business and don't care about others will feel a very excited impulse when hit by this force. As a Chinese, I am really proud. Such a country will bring us an incomparable sense of security. Look at the foreign refugees who are displaced and have no guarantee of life in the world news every day. We really don't need to be afraid of anything. It's just a snowstorm. It's not a problem for us at all.
Many restaurants and all university cafeterias were mobilized. At noon, Shanghai provided all volunteers with a free lunch that may not have big fish and meat, but everyone tasted particularly delicious and full.
Everyone has seen war-themed movies and TV series, and everyone has seen those united and inspiring movies and TV series, so they feel that some things are unrealistic. At least we have not felt it, and we can't experience the feeling of everyone being united.
Today, this feeling is there.
"Thank you, everyone. After dinner, you can go back and rest. If there are people or things nearby who need help, we should all take the initiative. It may snow in the evening. Don't just help others, but also prepare some for yourself. I am here to inform you of a message. The country will give priority to arranging our college students to go home. I hope that after returning to your hometown, you will also help others. We have great warmth in the city. Let us pass on the warmth to those who need us more. I may have to say in advance to the students who live in remote areas and towns. You have worked hard."
Chen Hao was at Fudan University. He had lunch with all the students who were stranded by the snowstorm at the end of the semester in the cafeteria here. There were more than a dozen artists on the scene, and Chen Chen, the host of Magic City TV. The task of saying something to everyone fell on her.
Conveying some of the superiors' ideas to college students with a fluent voice was the task received by many hosts this morning. All the hosts of TV stations, radio stations and networks followed the artists to various universities.
The city is still not affected by the snowstorm, and the semester is over. Many migrant workers who were anxious to return to their hometowns have also realized that they should not cause trouble at this time, and have slowed down their pace of returning home. The country has seen the high spirits of the young people of the new era when they united to resist the snowstorm. They will definitely play a greater role when they return to their hometowns from the city to volunteer, so there will be a notice to arrange for them to go home.
Buses and trains will provide free tickets home to the volunteer students counted by the student union of each school, so that these young people who are most likely to form high morale can return to their hometowns, especially those college students who are admitted from remote areas and villages. When they return to their place of residence, they will immediately devote themselves to the volunteer work of the Warm Heart Station, which will also make the Warm Heart Station still have the hard power to operate after the subsequent stars gradually decrease.
…………………………
The artist took a group photo with everyone in the cafeteria. It was impossible to take a photo with everyone individually, so they took a group photo together. When he returned to the hotel where he was staying, there was not much time left before the charity performance began. Some artists who were temporarily scheduled to perform in the back could still take a break. As the core members of the Huaxia Film and Television Promotion Association of the entire charity performance, they all arrived at the scene early.
In the Magic City Stadium, everyone changed into disaster relief T-shirts, white with black words, and everyone wore the same T-shirts. This time, the Huaxia Film and Television Promotion Association appeared in front of everyone with the largest coverage. In the past, we all knew that there were many bigwigs and big stars in it. Everyone only thought that it was a non-governmental organization headed by these artists from Xiangjiang, providing services to some grassroots people. It was very thoughtful and made a lot of contributions, but it seemed unlikely to really be fully rolled out in China.
This time, it can be seen that the contributions made by these people and the momentum of volunteers across the country have been completely recognized by the country. A theme donation gala to be held by the National Court TV was temporarily cancelled and merged with this one. All large donations from domestic and foreign companies and Chinese at home and abroad will also be displayed on this stage.
According to preliminary estimates, this disaster relief charity gala will last at least six or seven hours. The originally scheduled hosts have now all been rotated. From the court TV to the well-known hosts of major domestic TV stations, they have all arrived in Shanghai. You see so many artists on the one hand, and the heads of many large companies in the industry have also come this time. They met and chatted with Zeng Zhiwei, Jackie Chan and Andy Lau in the backstage, and they did not shy away from the people around them. The opportunity to gather everyone together to integrate into a fist to do something has come naturally today.
When Chen Hao arrived at the stadium, a large area was designated as a rest area. This was the first stage. The host from the court TV station came on stage first, followed by the first batch of artists. There were no less than 150 artists on the scene, and there were as many as 10,000 seats reserved for the donating companies. If you want to watch the show today, you may be a little disappointed, but if you want to watch the stars today, you can check it out. This will definitely be the most comprehensive event in the history of Chinese artists. The Spring Festival Gala, the Olympic Games, and various large-scale disaster relief performances before, in terms of familiar faces, are completely incomparable to this time. There are hundreds of staff members busy arranging on the scene, and there are dozens of on-site directors. There are even more than a dozen communication channels, including the channels of various departments and the channels of the on-site directors. More than a dozen channels are busy.
There is also an area on the scene that has attracted much attention. There are one hundred hotline telephones, and the notaries and financial staff of the on-site notary office are divided into one hundred groups. There are hundreds of people on site just to count donations. In addition, there are extra-large donation boxes and corresponding registration personnel at each entrance and exit of the scene. Many of the audience members who have entered the venue have not even registered their names. Those who donated a small amount directly put it into the donation box without even intending to leave their names.
