Chapter 1369 The Farmer Is Still Starving to Death

A group of children's voices were reciting the traditional Chinese poem "Compassion for Farmers". The tone of the whole poem is full of resentment and the poet's pity for the farmers who have been busy for a year but still have enough food and clothing.

Huang Zeyu and Niu Ben were surprised to hear such a recitation from this building. It's not because Zhan En opened a school in the Crescent District, nor is it because ancient Chinese poetry is being taught in the school.

It is because they can hear that the people who read this poem are all children, and their voices are children's voices that have not changed. Although the tone is weird and the pronunciation is not standard, what is really shocking is that the scalpers can hear a kind of anger from these children reading aloud.

A rage that burns everything down.

The three-story building in the Crescent Moon District is a school, a free school that can be used by more than 600 children of the right age in the Crescent Moon District to study together.

Lebanon-Chinese bilingual teaching is adopted in this school, which is strongly requested by the founder of this school, Jan En. Because according to his words, this century will become the century of Chinese, and the role of English will become weaker and weaker. Instead of wasting time learning English, it is better for children to learn Chinese.

The teachers in this school are all teachers who worked in various schools before the war. Because of the war, they were displaced.

Warlords and gangsters do not respect knowledge, and government forces do not care about the cultivation of civilians. In a war-torn country, a book written by a sage who enlightens human wisdom is not as valuable as a bullet.

If it wasn't because Zhan En returned to the country of Li, ready to completely change the situation in the country of Li, and was ready to completely promote the reform of the country of Li, Alpha felt that he might have starved to death two years ago.

Elfa is a teacher, forty-five years old. Twenty years ago, when the country of Li was not yet in war, he studied in China and studied literature and chemistry. He was a top student.

After finishing his studies, Alpha did not stay in China, but returned to the motherland where the situation began to be turbulent, hoping to use his knowledge to educate the next generation of Li.

In Elfa's view, the main problem of Li country is not only religious opposition, nor is it just the invasion of foreign enemies. More importantly, the people have not opened up their wisdom.

Twenty years ago, he discussed international issues with many Chinese students and professors on Chinese campuses. At that time, the national strength of the Eagle Kingdom was growing day by day, and its status as the world's hegemon was unshakable.

Alpha is also deeply influenced by Western thought, and feels that Eagle Country's line is correct.

However, his professor and the school's principal Zheng gave deafening speeches, telling Alpha that there is no political system in the world and no thought that can be universal to any country.

After returning to China, Elfa participated in the construction of education. He took what he had learned and accepted it personally, hoping to open up the wisdom of the people of Lebanon. It's not that only a few rich people can study hard, and then study abroad to see the world. But most poor people can't even write their own names well.

Alpha's ideal is perfection. He teaches and educates people, and pins Li Guo's hope on the next generation. However, the situation in Li State is becoming more and more chaotic, and the Yi State next to it is eyeing it covetously. The two factions of religious forces in Lebanon confront each other.

For them the struggle of ideology is more important than the well-being of the people.

This is simply the absurdity of the world.

The situation is getting more and more turbulent, and there is no room for a quiet desk in this chaotic world. Alpha saw with his own eyes that his students were blown to pieces by the flying shells.

He desperately wanted to save those young lives, but he was powerless, and even himself was on the verge of starving to death.

Until Jen finds him.

"Teacher, long time no see."

Alpha knew Zhan En, who was his former student, smart and eager to learn. If it wasn't for the fact that his parents died in the war, maybe he could have learned better... huh... But it doesn't make sense, this country doesn't need knowledge, they just need to fight.

"Teacher, I have a wish. I hope that our country will return to stability and peace. Let every laborer be paid what he deserves and not be exploited by blood and sweat. I hope that every child who is thirsty for knowledge can be in a clean classroom. Li learns and seeks to make progress. I hope that every farmer can support the whole family without starving to death.

Teacher, would you like to help me? "

Alpha agreed, because Jann really built a school. In the slums, a place where no one cares, the government army and the Salvation Association don't bother to care about the life and death of the people here.

Elfa became a teacher, and relied on his experience of studying in China to become the Chinese teacher of this school.

The schools in the Crescent Moon District do not charge tuition fees, and all school-age children in the Crescent Moon District can come to study. And the school distributes textbooks and provides lunch for free. Alpha knows that this is the money that Jann relies on desperately every day in the new world.

He needs to be worthy of the salary, and he is also teaching the children that they need to be worthy of their current learning environment.

Standing on the three-foot podium, Alpha was facing seventy children from ten to fourteen years old. He taught the children this traditional Chinese poem "Compassion for Farmers" in the last class.

"Everyone learned "Compassion for Farmers" last class, did any students understand the meaning of this poem?" Standing on the podium, Alpha asked the students who were sitting.

One student raised his hand, Lisa, the monitor of the class. A girl, in the former Li country, there were many schools that did not allow girls to study. But Jen completely broke the rules by insisting that all girls go to school as well and banning girls from wearing hijab.

"Lisa, tell me." Alpha clicked on Lisa.

Lisa stood up and said: "This poem says that in autumn, a farmer plants a seed. In autumn, he can receive a heavy harvest of grain. But all the farmers in this country are working hard to cultivate grain. , All the land was planted with grain, and the grain was harvested abundantly.

But the farmers who were farming all starved to death. "

Alpha nodded: "Well said, Lisa. Sit down. Does anyone know why these farmers are starving to death?"

swipe swipe~

This time, many people raised their hands, more than half of the students in the class raised their hands.

Alpha ordered a skinny boy with dark skin: "Bell, tell me."

The skinny boy stood up and said, "Because of the Western Grain Group, my dad told me. Our family used to have one hectare of land to grow corn. We need to apply for a loan with the Grain Group first, so that we can have money to buy seeds.

After buying the seeds, you need to go to the places they stipulate to buy fertilizers and pesticides, otherwise the seeds will not grow well. So our family needs more loans. After finally planting the seeds into food, people from the food group came to collect the food at a very low price. If we don't sell them, then we won't get a loan next year.

After getting the money and repaying the loan from the Grain Group, our family only had enough money to get by. "

"No!" A taller boy couldn't help standing up and retorting: "It's not because of the food group, it's because of the People's Salvation Association! We planted food in our family, and they came to take it away forcibly. My mother refused to give it, so they took it away." They beat my mother to death and burned my house down!"

"It's the government army!" Another student jumped out to retort: ​​"They took away our land forcibly. They didn't give us a penny. If they didn't give us, they would beat us to death. My parents had to take me Fleeing to Beirut."

"It's the Black Sal Gang!"

"It's the Tiger Gang!"

"It's a factory from Europe. They poisoned our food!"

The seventy-odd students in the class came up with dozens of ways to destroy a farmer's family. And each one is personal experience.

"Quiet!" Alpha slammed the table on the podium, arguing about how to quiet the students who were starved to death by the farmer.

Standing on the three-foot podium, Alpha said: "What the students said was right, and what they said was also wrong.

Yes, we farmers work very hard. We need to fight natural disasters, man-made disasters, and various capital groups. We have a hard time living in this world, but it's not just because they bully us. More importantly, we don't have a real strong backer we can rely on.

And this backer is called the country! "

"Students, I have been to several countries when I was young. I finally chose to come back to Li country, because I discovered an irrefutable truth when I went to other countries. What kind of country a person is born in, then his Fate has already been doomed more than half.

Personal destiny and national destiny have always been closely linked. So today I ask you, do you want your food to be robbed? "

"I don't want to!" some students shouted.

"Would you like your home to be burned down?"

"I don't want to!!" More students shouted.

"Would you like your parents to be shot to death, your sisters to be snatched as brides, and you to starve to death alone on the street?!"

"I don't want to! I don't want to! I don't want to!!!" The whole class roared with red eyes.

Because what the teacher is talking about is not a hypothesis, but a fate that many of the students have already experienced.

"Then there is only one way to change! You study hard, acquire knowledge, and let us rebuild a peaceful and beautiful Li country!" Alpha's voice was not loud, but some children's eyes were red.

Standing at the back window, Huang Zeying and Niu Ben witnessed what happened in the classroom. Niu Ben silently had tears in his eyes, while Huang Zeying sighed: "One generation has the responsibility of one generation, and one generation has the obligation of one generation."

Zhan En nodded: "Yes, the children here are responsible for rebuilding a better Li country. That is the responsibility of their generation."

"What about your responsibility?" Niu Ben asked.

Zhan En looked firmly: "My responsibility? My responsibility is to lay a framework for them to rebuild Li Guo. This is a dangerous building decayed by termites, so everyone living in this dangerous building is in danger, and sewing is no longer helpful .And what I have to do is to demolish the entire dangerous building and rebuild a sturdy building that can stand in the forest of the world!"
