In these seemingly hopeful times, can we really change the fate of poor children through simple funding?
When kindness is hindered by the family environment, how do we pave the way for children who are eager for change? A chance encounter made actor Huang Bo meet a girl in the mountains of Guangxi who made him feel pity, but an unexpected episode made him rethink the original funding plan. What's the story behind this?
In the recording of a program that went deep into the grassroots, Huang Bo came to a remote mountain village in Guangxi. There, he met 9-year-old Yuanli. Although this little girl came from a poor family, she showed amazing intelligence and perseverance. Not only did she excel in her studies, but she also showed an extraordinary talent for dancing. However, the burden of life fell prematurely on this immature shoulder.
Since her parents work outside the home all year round, Yuanli and her younger brothers are raised by their grandmother. As the eldest sister, Yuanli had to take on many adult responsibilities. From chopping wood to cooking, from taking care of her younger brother to managing the house, these tasks that should be done by adults have become the daily routine of this little girl. What is admirable is that in the face of such a difficult situation, Yuanli has always maintained a positive and optimistic attitude, and has never complained about the hardships of life.
Huang Bo was deeply moved by Yuanli's strength and talent, and was determined to help the girl. He invited the guest of the show, dance talent Zhang Yixing to teach Yuanli some basic dance skills. Unexpectedly, Yuanli showed an amazing ability to learn, and she was able to quickly master many complex movements. Seeing Yuanli's potential, Huang Bo came up with the idea of sponsoring her to continue studying dance, hoping to help this talented girl realize her dance dream.
With great enthusiasm, Huang Bo decided to visit Yuanli's family in person to discuss funding. However, the moment he stepped into Yuanli's house, he was shocked by the sight in front of him. There is hardly any decent furniture in the dilapidated house, let alone any modern appliances. Just as Huang Bo was about to talk about the funding plan, a sudden scene completely changed his original intention.
Yuanli's grandmother suddenly returned home and gave Yuanli a resounding slap without saying anything. It turned out that the grandmother blamed Yuanli for taking strangers home without permission. This scene not only made Yuanli aggrieved to tears, but also made Huang Bo's heart mixed.
After further understanding, Huang Bo learned that Yuanli's grandmother had a long-term prejudice against sons, and everything in the family always gave priority to boys.
Faced with such a complex family environment, Huang Bo realized that financial assistance alone may not be able to fundamentally change Yuanli's situation. He worries that even if he provides funds, they may not really be used for Yuanli's personal development.
After weighing it repeatedly, Huang Bo chose an ingenious way to help
He celebrated Yuanli's birthday by giving her coveted dancing shoes and a smartwatch, and left his contact information to encourage her to ask for help whenever she is in trouble.
Huang Bo's decision sparked heated discussions on the Internet.
When it comes to children living in poverty, can monetary assistance alone solve all the problems? When the family environment is an obstacle, how can we actually help children who are eager to change their lives?
A talented girl gets the chance to chase her dreams with her own efforts, but her family hinders her development.
Huang Bo wanted to help this girl who loved dance, but she couldn't change her family's deep-rooted traditional beliefs.
Even if funding is provided, the money may not end up supporting the girl's dreams.
