Chapter 896

"What are your plans going forward?" After the conference ended, Cornelius asked Zitelman what he thought.

"I want to follow these four directions to see the changes in China." Zitelman suddenly became very interested in recording the matter of China.

"Me too, which line do you want to start?"

"Environmental protection, this is a common topic among human beings now, and China has always been condemned by the United States as the main country that destroys the world's environment. I want to take a deeper look, how about you?"

"Then let me look at the line of education first. This is the topic I am most interested in, and it is also a topic that we in Germany have attached great importance to in recent years."

"Okay, then have a good drink tonight and set off tomorrow."

"Well, we can share what we saw and felt later."

After returning, they both booked their own air tickets. The next morning, Zitelman set off for a county town in Gansu Province. Wei Yongxiu, a middle-level cadre in charge of local sand control work, was in charge of receiving Zitelman.

"Trouble Mr. Wei, we want to come here to do a special report on the development of sand control."

Wei Yongxiu received him warmly, "If Mr. Zitelman wants to know anything, just ask me."

"I'm really confused at the moment. According to the records, this place is an important area for sand control, but when I came here by car just now, I saw trees everywhere on both sides, which is not what I imagined."

Wei Yongxiu followed the staff and smiled at each other, "Mr. Zitelman, come with me."

Half an hour later, Wei Yongxiu drove Zitelman's team to a sandy field. After getting off the car, Zitelman hurriedly asked the team to take pictures, while he couldn't help observing from both sides.

"Desert control does not happen overnight. Mr. Zitelman just came this way, and it was like this thirty years ago."

"Thirty years ago?" Zitelman noticed the number sensitively, "Could it be that it took thirty years for the greening of the road just now?"

Wei Yongxiu nodded with emotion, "It's more than that, the difficulty of sand control is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. If Mr. Zitelman is in good health, he can try to take off his mask and hat to feel it.

The difficulty of sand control lies not only in the planting itself, but also in the harsh environment. Sand control workers have to face the scorching sun and sandstorm every day, and not many people can persevere for a long time. "

Zitelman took off his mask and hat, but he felt uncomfortable after hearing Wei Yongxiu say a few words, so he put on the mask and hat again, "In this case, what is the strength of those who have persisted for a long time? Are you holding on?"

Wei Yongxiu signaled Zitelman to go forward, "Mr. Zitelman, just ask them directly. The one in front is the oldest sand control person here. We call him Mr. Li, and he has been engaged in sand control here. Worked for over 30 years."

As Zitelman approached, he noticed three robots beside the old man.

"Old Li!"

Wei Yongxiu yelled, and the old man known as Li Lao responded with a smile on his face. Seeing the team around Wei Yongxiu, he subconsciously asked, "Is it someone from the Dafeng Group?"

"Mr. Li, they are not from the Dafeng Group. This is the editor-in-chief of the French "Le Monde" Zitelman. They want to do a special report on our sand control."

"France? Oh, hello, hello." The old man didn't know what "Le Monde" was, and he just said hello politely.

Zitelman stepped forward to shake hands with him, his expression suddenly changed, because he felt the old man's hands full of calluses.

"Mr. Li, I heard that you have been controlling sand here for more than 30 years?"

"33 years and 10 months." The old man remembered it clearly.

"Why did you want to engage in desertification control?"

"I was born here. People here have lived in fear of wind and sand since childhood. It is no exaggeration to say that this fear has been imprinted in the hearts of generations. We must find a way.

We cannot allow future generations to live in such fear. "

"Then children shouldn't have this kind of fear anymore, right?"

"That's right. My grandson is now attending elementary school in the town. Their generation doesn't have the fear of wind and sand that we did at that time. The town is clean and the air is good. Children can study with peace of mind."

"I heard that Mr. Li will be 70 soon. Why are you still insisting on desertification control? In fact, you have already done a lot, and you can leave it to young people to do it."

The old man smiled and shook his head, "Desert control is too tiring. I actually don't want children to do it in the future. Our generation is used to it anyway, and we have developed a body that eats sand. Let's do it.

But now there is a better way. The robots of Dafeng Group can help us control sand. They say that in a few years, the work of sand control can be completely handed over to machines, and young people only need to operate in the office.

This is really good, the power of technology, good, really good, really good! "

"Mr. Li, what do you think is the meaning of sand control?"

The old man suddenly smiled, "Many people have asked me this question, and many leaders have also asked me this question before. Anyway, I still say the same thing. I don't understand those principles, and I don't understand the environment and ecology. .

I knew that sand control is good for children and good for younger generations. "

The old man took out a photo from his wallet, "This was taken more than 30 years ago, and our town was like this at that time, you can go and take a good look at the current state of the town later.

For more than thirty years, two generations have passed. "

Zitelman took the photo, thinking about the appearance of the town just now. This is no longer a place at all, "Old man, how effective are these sand control robots now?"

"It is very effective and easy to use. The technology of Dafeng Group is powerful. It is worthy of being the number one technology company in China, and its reputation is well-deserved.

I used to be afraid to think about retirement because I knew there was so much to do, but now that I see these robots, I might be retiring in 2 more years hahaha. "

Wei Yongxiu and the others laughed, and everyone could understand the true happiness in Mr. Li's heart at this time.

Zitelman said thank you and stopped bothering the old man. On the way, he couldn't help but took out his mobile phone and glanced at the photos he just took more than 30 years ago. "The life of the younger generation is no longer the same."

On the other side, Cornelius came to your province.

Cornelius was received by a support teacher named Xi Yasi.

Xie Yasi is a supporting teacher who has stayed here for more than 30 years. According to the regulations, she only needs to support teaching there for 2 years before she can come back and choose a new employment direction, but Xie Yasi finally chose to stay in the teaching place. That is more than thirty years.

"It has been said for more than 30 years. Ten years ago, every mountain here separated the dreams and future of a mountain of people." Xie Yasi choked up a little as soon as he said the first sentence, "But now you can see There are already roads here. In 2015, the high-speed county-to-county connections were realized here, and next year the province-wide rural group connections will be completed."

Cornelius not only asked the photography team to take pictures, but he couldn't help taking out his mobile phone to take a few photos, "The scenery here is really beautiful."

"Yes, relying on the scenery here, the tourism industry has become more and more developed in recent years."

"Hey, what's that?" As the car went up, Cornelius realized that there were many things flying in the mountains, but they were not birds.

"It's a drone swarm."

"A drone swarm?"

"Well, in fact, the straight-line distance between the mountains here is very short. In the past two years, drones have been introduced to facilitate the delivery of some daily items, so there is no need to go around such a long section of the mountain road.

When we went up the mountain just now, you should have noticed that there are 5G base stations densely covered here, and many drone companies are doing experiments here, and the county next door to us has specially designated an area as a drone research and development center. "

Cornelius nodded, and quickly followed everyone to the village on the mountain. At Cornelius' request, everyone went straight to Zhaohui Primary School.

Zhaohui Primary School covers a large area, and there are all kinds of football and basketball courts. After entering the campus, it happened to be the end of get out of class time. Cornelius looked at the children with a surprised expression. He originally thought that the children here should be dressed a little bit. It was tattered, but the result was completely different from what he had imagined.

"I remember that your county just took off the poverty hat a few years ago."

"Well, it was taken off in 15 years."

"But since I entered the village, I have noticed that everyone's overall feeling is not as poor as it was three years ago."

Xie Yasi smiled, "Everyone's income has risen, it is convenient to buy things, there are roads and drones, and everything can be provided. In addition, in the information age, everyone's thinking is not as closed as in the past. What Mr. Liusi imagined might be what it looked like ten or even thirty years ago."

"Then how is the problem of left-behind children solved now?"

"There are fewer and fewer left-behind children, because many of them have returned. In the past two years, there have been more and more job opportunities, and their income is not lower than outside."

The two were chatting when some students saw Xie Yasi and surrounded him.

Seeing the relationship between the students and Seaas, Cornelius was about to speak when a boy suddenly asked Cornelius, "Which country are you from?"

"I'm German." Cornelius looked at the little boy in surprise, because his English pronunciation was quite standard.

"Are you from the Süddeutsche Zeitung? Are you here for an interview?"

"Yes, have you read the Süddeutsche Zeitung?"

"Seen."

The student said that he had seen it, but Cornelius was confused, "Have you really seen it?"

"I've seen it. After Brexit, Germany is the key to Europe. If you want to understand the future of Europe, you need to pay more attention to Germany."

Cornelius suddenly became interested in the boy, "Who did you learn English from?"

"The online teaching platform of Dafeng Group."

"I see that your English is very good. You must have spent a lot of time learning English. Why?"

"Because English is a tool. I hope I can see a bigger world in the future. At present, English is still the most common language in the world, so I have to learn how to use this tool." The boy responded neatly.

"I heard that many people in Huaxia are against learning English. What do you think?"

"I've said it all, English is a tool, you need to learn it, just like a programmer must learn how to use a computer, right?"

"So what do you want to do next?"

"I want to be a reporter."

Cornelius moved his eyelids and touched the boy's shoulder with interest.

After talking here, the class time is up, and the students hurried back to class.

Xi Yasi took Cornelius to visit the scene of the students in class, the digital blackboard, the learning tablet equipped on the student desk, and each classroom is equipped with a learning assistant robot.

"If you just record these pictures, I'm afraid it's hard to imagine that this is a campus in a poor county in Huaxia that has just escaped poverty." Cornelius sighed.

Xie Yasi took out the prepared photos from his pocket, "This is the scene here more than 30 years ago. At that time, if we could get the textbooks and have a teacher willing to teach, we were already satisfied."

Cornelius looked at the photo, and then at the boy who was talking to him just now, "The fate of the children has been changed."

That night, Cornelius and Zitelman made an application call to the headquarters at the same time, "This year marks the 40th anniversary of China's reform and opening up, and next year will be China's 70th birthday. I want to stay in China and do a good job on China's special report." .

How do I feel now?

Um.

Today I heard a sentence several times: plan for future generations, plan for future generations. "

Thank you Xixi for being my reward!
