Chapter 430 0429 [Teach a Man to Fish! 】
On the football field, several children were playing football. Some of those children had healthy limbs, while others lacked lower limbs or arms, but they had a great time playing together.
"Dear Sister Emma, this is Shi Zhijian from Shinhwa Company, Mr. Shi."
Qiu Jiawen introduced Shi Zhijian to the person in charge of the Association for the Disabled.
Sister Emma's original name was "Zhang Fengqin", a very common Chinese woman's name.
Ten years ago, Zhang Fengqin was just an ordinary country woman who smuggled into Hong Kong. Her husband died while she was smuggling, and she was taken in by the Catholic Church alone.
In the beginning, Zhang Fengqin only cared about two things in the church. First, whether the pig she raised in her hometown had any piglets; second, whether the church would distribute bread today.
In order to survive, Zhang Fengqin forgot about her pig, just to be able to distribute bread, and later she changed her name to Emma and became a nun.
Zhang Fengqin, who changed her name to "Emma", first worked in a relief station led by the Catholic Church, during which time she helped many poor people in distress. Later, he joined the Aid for the Disabled and began to help more people in need.
Emma is an emotional person. When she encounters difficulties, she seeks help from those around her more than praying and praying blindly.
Even when she met some poor disabled children, she would cry instead of saying in a compassionate tone that this was God's punishment for her.
So Sister Emma is more like a mother than a nun in the eyes of these disabled people.
And Emma also treats every defective child as her own child.
Although Qiu Jiawen gave a detailed introduction to Shi Zhijian, Emma still looked at Shi Zhijian with a very vigilant look.
"What kind of business is Mr. Shi?"
"It's mainly food - if you're willing, nun, I can donate 30,000 yuan of supplies here."
"I'm a little surprised that Mr. Shi is so generous. To be honest, does Mr. Shi have any special requirements?"
I have been working here for a long time, and Emma has never seen anyone.
Many people talk about benevolence and morality to help these disabled people, but they soon show their shameless faces, tricking the disabled children here to work outside, deducting their wages, and exploiting their hard-earned money.
What's more, let some beautiful girls go to work in that kind of dirty place-they are pitiful enough, but God still refuses to let them go.
Shi Zhijian didn't expect Sister Emma to be so vigilant. Fortunately, he was alert and asked Qiu Jiawen to help guide the way, otherwise he might not even be able to get in here.
Facing Sister Emma's question at this moment, Shi Zhijian did not answer, but looked at Qiu Jiawen.
Qiu Jiawen understands that a good person will do it to the end, so she will explain Shi Zhijian's reason for coming this time.
When I heard that Shi Zhijian wanted to find a young, beautiful girl with a foundation in dancing to dance at the charity night gala, Sister Emma's expression froze for a moment, and then relaxed again.
"Mr. Shi, I've listened to Secretary Qiu's introduction, and I understand what you mean. I know who Secretary Qiu is. She rarely takes the initiative to help others. It seems that you are very nice."
With a "bang", a football was suddenly kicked over and rolled to Sister Emma's feet.
"Sister Emma, ball! Our ball!"
cried the children, waving their arms at her.
Sister Emma smiled, stopped talking, bent down to pick up the football, and kicked it very skillfully!
With a "bang", the football fell into the middle of the children, and the children played happily again.
"Where did I just talk? Oh, Mr. Shi, it's not that I don't trust you. I just want to know one thing. Why do you want to do charity? What is charity in your eyes?"
Shi Zhijian was stunned for a moment, and replied: "I do charity with both public and selfish intentions. The public intention is to help more people in need. The selfish intention is to use charity to become famous and become a member of the upper class. I don't know the answer, do you satisfy?"
Sister Emma was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Shi Zhijian to be so frank.
"As for what charity is, I think it is better to teach people how to fish than to give them a fish. If you can't solve the basic problems, no matter how much money you donate, it's useless. Many disabled people are physically disabled and strong, and they can fully integrate into society. Relying on them hands and wisdom to support themselves. So real charity is respect, not charity."
"True charity is respect, not charity?" Sister Emma was taken aback.
Even Qiu Jiawen on the side was taken aback by Shi Zhijian's astonishing words.
The more she got in touch with Shi Zhijian, the more she couldn't understand him.
"Of course, if Sister Emma is willing, I actually had an idea very early on to recruit some disabled people to work in my factory."
What Shi Zhijian said was true. In his previous life, there was an instant noodle factory called Baixiang that recruited many disabled people as workers. And this factory is also known as "the most caring factory".
Sister Emma was moved when she heard this. She is old now, and what worries her most is the future of these disabled children.
If they can support themselves with their hands, then she can let go of the biggest stone in her heart.
"Really, Mr. Shi? If this is the case, I must thank you on behalf of the children!"
"No, I want to thank you, you are a competent nun, and even more so, a qualified mother!"
While everyone was talking, a child with a disabled arm came running quickly and shouted, "Sister Emma! Something happened! Something happened! The dance team and the choir are fighting!"
"Ah, what?" Sister Emma was taken aback.
...
The practice room of the Salvation Society.
A group of girls are tearing together, and some children beside them are trying to persuade them to fight.
"Stop beating, everyone, stop beating! The nun is coming soon! Everyone stop!"
Next to them were two or three deaf-mute children who were gesticulating and trying to persuade the fightrs.
"Stop! What are you doing here?" Sister Emma shouted when she came to the scene.
Only then did the two groups of people who were fighting let go of their hands.
Sister Emma glared at them, and the girls parted ways, hands behind their backs, heads down, waiting to be criticized.
"Who will tell me, why are you fighting?" Sister Emma asked with a straight face.
A girl on the left said: "Our choir wants to use the practice room, but their dance team is rushing to use it!"
At this time, a person on the right stood up and gestured with his hand: "We came first! And today is Sunday, and there is no sign of 'occupied' at the door, so whoever comes first will use it first!"
"Who said first come, first use? It's clearly ours to use today, and we applied for the right to use it!" The girl on the left said dissatisfied.
Sister Emma figured it out, the girls were fighting over the practice room.
