Lai Jiaming, a third-level senior procurator assistant of the Yongfu County People's Procuratorate, is deeply engaged in the field of legal education for young people, and is affectionately known as "Teacher Lai" by everyone. In 2004, Lai Jiaming founded the Yongfu County "Care for the Future" Volunteer Service Team, which has traveled more than 100,000 kilometers in all primary and secondary schools in Yongfu County over the past 20 years, taught more than 2,000 courses on the rule of law to students, and successfully helped more than 230 teenagers with serious bad behaviors get back on the right track in life.
Regarding the selection of the "China Good Person List" in the second quarter of 2024, Lai Jiaming said that he will turn this honor into a driving force to move forward and continue to walk on the road of protecting minors.
Former students sent congratulatory text messages
On July 30, after the Central Civilization Office released the "China Good People List" for the second quarter of 2024, Lai Jiaming's mobile phone received a lot of congratulatory messages.
Among them, there is a message that reads: "Mr. Lai, I would like to congratulate you on the list of 'Good People in China'!" Thank you for your guidance and help, which has given me the motivation to keep moving forward. Your words of 'let go of the past, move forward, set goals for yourself and persevere, and accomplishment is more important than perfection', which I have now taken to heart and have done, will be a valuable asset for me for the rest of my life." You will always be a good example for me to learn from. He sent this message to Mr. He, who had been bullied on campus, and while sending a message of congratulations, he also thanked Lai Jiaming again for his enlightenment and help in his most difficult moment.
On July 31, the reporter came to the "Teacher Lai's Studio" of the Yongfu County People's Procuratorate. Talking about being selected for the second quarter of 2024 "China's Good People List", Lai Jiaming said frankly that his feelings were a little complicated: "I was surprised and excited to learn that I was selected, after all, there are so many people who are better than me, and I really didn't expect to be selected." In my opinion, this honor belongs not only to me personally, but also to everyone in our team. The 'Caring for the Future' volunteer service team has been established for so long, and more and more friends, colleagues and students have joined us, which is why we have today's achievements, which is the highest praise for our collective efforts. ”
Looking forward to the future, Lai Jiaming said with confidence: "Being selected for the 'China Good People List' in the second quarter of 2024 is a new starting point for me. I will take this opportunity to stay true to my original intention, forge ahead, and continue to help every minor in need. ”
The volunteer service has traveled more than 100,000 kilometers
Working during the day, teaching at school at night, and receiving minors in the studio on weekends were Lai Jiaming's previous work and life.
In Lai's office, he once hung a map of Vinh Phuc County, and every time he visited a school, he would draw a small red flag on the map. There are nearly 100 schools in Vinh Phuc County, 49 of which are in mountainous areas, and the farthest township is more than 100 kilometers away from the county seat. Over the past 20 years, Lai Jiaming's footprints have covered every corner of the map, with a cumulative journey of more than 100,000 kilometers.
Mo Zengjie, a clerk of the Yongfu County People's Procuratorate, is a member of the "Teacher Lai's Studio", and since joining the county procuratorate in 2022, he has been following Lai Jiaming's footsteps to participate in public welfare activities. When he learned that Lai Jiaming was selected for the second quarter of 2024 "China's Good Person List", Mo Zengjie's heart was also full of joy and pride. "Mr. Lai's 'three noes' spirit - not giving up on any child, living up to the expectations of the party and the masses, and not stopping at the existing achievements are the qualities I admire the most. I will continue to follow in the footsteps of Mr. Lai and pass on this love and responsibility to more people. ”
Mo Zengjie told reporters that Mr. Lai is very popular with children, and many students have also undergone positive changes under his influence. Among them, a boy named Xiaohang (pseudonym) left a deep impression on him.
Xiaohang used to be addicted to games, his academic performance plummeted, even if the college entrance examination was approaching, he was still reluctant to put down the game, he was very confused, so he found Mr. Lai.
Mo Zengjie recalled the situation at that time and said: "Teacher Lai did not criticize Xiaohang, but patiently listened and guided. They discussed the role of games in society, asked Xiaohang about his dreams and pursuits, made a study plan for him, and encouraged him to put down games and go all out to prepare for the college entrance examination. ”
This trust and encouragement allowed Xiaohang to regain his confidence. In the end, Xiaohang was successfully admitted to the ideal university. The moment he received the admission letter, Xiaohang returned to the "Teacher Lai's Studio" with gratitude and presented a pennant to Teacher Lai to express his sincerest gratitude.
Xiaohang's story is not unique. In the "Teacher Lai's Studio", it was full of pennants and heartfelt words presented to Teacher Lai by the children: "Thank you Teacher Lai for your help and care for me, your kind words like a breeze and drizzle, brushed away the dust of my soul", "Teacher Lai, listening to your class has made me feel that I am now starting to study hard and quit Internet addiction"......
The children he helped are now joining him
Over the past 20 years, the "Care for the Future" volunteer service team has not only influenced many students through itinerant teaching, but also sponsored and helped more than 120 orphans, poor students and children from special families.
Xiaoping (pseudonym) is one of them, and when she learned that Lai Jiaming was selected for the second quarter of 2024 "China's Good Person List", she immediately expressed her congratulations. Xiaoping gratefully told reporters that for her, Teacher Lai is not a relative, but she is more like a relative.
Xiaoping was abandoned since childhood, her adoptive father died when she was 6 years old, and her grandmother was disabled by a fall when she was 12 years old. In 2012, Lai Jiaming learned of Xiaoping's plight at Yongfu Mingde Primary School, and immediately united forces from all walks of life, especially the cadres and police of the city and county procuratorates, to provide Xiaoping with continuous living assistance. When he learned that Xiaoping had the idea of dropping out of school, Lai Jiaming was very anxious, and he personally came to the door to give Xiaoping courage and strength with fatherly care, so that she could regain hope.
In an interview, Xiaoping said: "Under the care of Mr. Lai, I feel unprecedented warmth and hope. I secretly determined that I must study hard and live up to this deep love. In 2014, I was named the first "Guangxi Youth Role Model", and I know that it was Mr. Lai and all the people who helped me that gave me such an opportunity. In 2019, the moment I received my acceptance letter, I immediately wrote a thank you letter to Mr. Lai, telling him how lucky I was to meet him. ”
Today, Xiaoping is a graduate student of Guangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, she is not only successful in her studies, but also passing on love - she has also joined the "Care for the Future" volunteer service team, whenever she has the opportunity, she will return to school with Lai Jiaming, and use her personal experience to inspire those who are still working hard for their dreams.
