 Yunnan drought relief sentiment (with 44 photos)
Ice
perhaps when, and only visit its territory, can deeply feel the importance of water.
Without water the tree of life will be extinguished. < br> For water, a mother bear the weight of the bucket falling cliff, leaving behind a pair of lonely children; to water, 69-year-old, hobbled to a few kilometers to carry water; the whole village, from early late, the most important thing to do is water, water as the ultimate purpose of life, I have heard that these are hh or mm when I personally felt the drought relief through personal involvement, in-depth investigation arid areas, I know that these orders things were moving, but also found some hidden cause behind the news the real cause of drought.
Despite reports of drought, has often been submerged in the Expo as a celebration of praise that, although most reports focus on the drought at all levels of government concerned about the expansion, although most reported the profound neglect investigation of the problem, understand, but some details still make me feel much more real situation may be grim.
Once trapped by water, people will panic. This not difficult to understand, in some arid areas, but competition for water between villages for the reason behind the dispute.
my childhood growing up in rural areas, is very concerned about this situation.
get good cash, I decided to Yunnan, to do practical things. 6 days in Yunnan experience, I was filled with emotion! fragile life was not the lack of a drop of water, let us learn to cherish from now!
(1)
in Kunming, I visited information reported in the Yunnan Province of Henan, a work of fellow Yixi Tan, let me change my original plan.
I planned to directly vested in the hands of farmers to finance their drilling wells, building water cellars. fellow, said: Do not funded wells! This is the richest area of water resources, never missing the rain, lack of the catchment. I have just been to Singapore, where per capita water resources in the world next to last. but they are through the collection, storage rain and the sewage purification, water conservation and other measures to address the water of life. We are here most of the precipitation during the rainy season flow is gone, the absence of adequate irrigation facilities through the collection, storage of rainwater, flood control during the rainy season, rainy season after the drought. not nature do not treat us, but we do not cherish the gift of nature. than Israel, Singapore these countries, we have enough rain here enough of it! drilling is Banded, destroying their future posterior. Beijing and other cities over the use of groundwater, has formed a funnel in the ground, facing the ground collapse in future crises. You can fund the construction of cisterns farmers, do not subsidize their drilling! us too serious damage to the environment, and Singapore focus on environmental protection, large diameter 1 m almost one per tree. We are now official, the rapid change from the U.S. to make the city has been unwilling to planting trees, but rather directly from the country transplanting hh construction of a 10 cubic meters to 12 cubic meters of water cellars, the cost of 1000 yuan, up to now is about 2,000 yuan (the local residents an account carefully considered each time, this data has been verified mm and, This does not include labor costs).
my first trip to Yunnan, Kunming, few acquaintances, to hit a great need for off-road vehicles, after a friend contacted by a car, but not out overnight, you must return the same day, and car rental difficult to rent this car. Thanks to help the villagers, their two newspaper reporters Chen, Xiao Yang, to the affected areas to cover, just take a ride to go the same way.
So, I leap with Yunnan Youth Development Foundation Mutual Aid Working Group Thao soil (an enthusiastic student volunteers, has repeatedly bottled water to disaster areas) and other people, Hui and Yi Autonomous County to Xundian (national poverty counties) corner of the village called Sancha. Yunnan, local newspapers have such reports:
I noticed the red side of the road for the most part, the people can not help but think of We connected to the local Student Village little Jane, he was appointed Assistant Monkey Street Estate village party secretary in charge of Sancha angle villages, is very experienced dealing with the villagers. We ate lunch together, he let the restaurant account when I quickly bought one.
Sancha Kok Estate, we want to go into upper and lower villages, the village is located on the bifurcation angle where more than 2,000 meters above sea level, near the top, front volunteers to bottled water, go Sancha Kok village to the next stop, and there are about three kilometers of the mountain relatively dangerous, the driver did not dare to open up, and had to inform the people on the village of Sancha corner to catch up a little bit of horse-drawn transport vehicles.
I saw two people on the road under the hot sun digging cisterns to and little Jane, Thao looked down. two did more than 20 days before digging it looks like now. I picked up their tools digging, found the soil here is very hard to dig a cellar that was not easy. According to villagers, the plan to build a cistern about 60 cubic meters, 6,000 yuan into the money needed. They built this mainly want to engage Greenhouse cellar .
more experienced drivers to Mr. Deng, although the road is difficult, and I have always told him that if we can not walk away, but he has always insisted on opening up. In place of a 90-degree turn, just Zhuanguo Wan Up climbing when the car suddenly fell off, I could not help but cried, because the back is the canyon, this car off-road vehicles produced in Japan, I am worried about problems with its brakes. Fortunately, the driver very experience a near miss, we have been careful to go up.
I later learned that this road is the village of Sancha angle more than 20 villagers, help the local government not to respond in the case, together , over a decade ago at their own expense, labor, repair efforts, precisely because of this path, they can pull a horse to water, water sources, rather than carrying water. Although, to the water to pull the water back and forth take two three hours, but after taking off the water can reach 200 pounds, better than many people carry water. In many places, farmers reason to be painfully troubled water issues, in addition to poor natural conditions, the Government has a serious shortage of public input the reason solidarity with the villagers do not have, do not take action and self-help related. Some people are waiting, but not action mm in the general case of lazy government, no hope of knowing that should they want to help to solve at least part of the problem is not whom exculpatory mm It had to do!
brother Hanyu I think the one thing I said before, he had a poor mountainous areas to the south, the local villagers Christian, you pray God to give them a way. cold Yu said: road repair their own, not ask, the real believers, should take the initiative to not just sit at home and pray, faith should not be an excuse for lazy action should be the driving force (to that effect). Later, the villagers themselves to act, the road repaired.
many cases, need to face the painful reality. This is the angle of the villagers Sancha was my inspiration. Sancha corner in the village, I remember most of the word, is the local villagers told me a few words: A few days ago a small charity with a simple good-hearted people to water supply, is their first time in decades to see that people arrived in the village. Jane is their small village officials 30 years to see first arrived in the village cadres. Now more and more bloated bodies, but can do practical things in depth to the people more and more scarce.
many people do not understand why the peasants to be so hard to get water . because not only were without water, the animals do not even leave the water. Here every household by livestock farming, and a livestock drink four buckets of water a day! In this case, came to the fore the importance of cellar. there is water pit of the family, with reserves of water to ensure that within six months of worry, and no cellar of the family, even if the car and lift it out of water, have no place to put mm tank capacity is very limited.

We arrived at the village of Sancha corner, desolate village of. the village and some people to pull the water, and some go out to work out. Mayor on behalf of the State Bank (the cloud) to work in Kunming, is back on the road.
us rolled along the village.
the only village water pipes from the hills, then only 3 barrels of water per day, due to the above there is no water harvesting, water storage facilities, water is easy to dry.
this I deeply feel the importance of water conservancy facilities. Sancha multiple angles and the surrounding villages, are from photographs taken in the little pond of water, although the distance, but without the small dams, the village people, only 10 kilometers away to fetch water! this small dam was built last century 50's! This pond construction, full use of the terrain is built, the cost should be very low, but it played well catchment , water features.
in (on) Sancha Kok village, we noticed the water side of the road, along the water's direction, we found a family in the village this be the living conditions of bifurcation angle better, he took us to see the just-repaired cellar. The big cellar, the cellar is not as common as the construction in accordance with the template. The villagers said more than 40 cubic the cellar, and I have estimated 50 cubic Not only .200 meters long water pipe, the cellar of his home and connected.
we speak, I noticed scars on his hand, and could not help but move.
arrived in Yunnan time, I plan to give people who do not have built cellars Cellar, my fellow said to me was: pit, you should give the same amount of money, or your charity to mislead the villagers, those hard-working people who walk in front grants instead of being lazy because they are not derided. you treat each person as normal mm have the drawback of the greedy, jealous, lazy sort of weakness is human nature, the key is how to guide. particularly like you, books, reading stupid people, should pay special attention to these. then I woke up. villager s hands, so I know who my hometown in Henan if it is truly wise mm of the language, consider the more thoughtful. to each person as a normal person, I remember this sentence, and , donated in this event, always adhere to this principle.
pull the old village water got home, we are with him, there is another village to sit down afterwards, the construction of a 10m12 cubic meters of caverns, doing we look like in 2000 dollars. They counted labor costs, I said: days 30 yuan to 35 yuan, regardless of food, 60 yuan per day.
my original plan was 2000 dollars directly to each household so that they can build their own cellar. Assistant to the small village party secretary Jane recommended I let the villagers discuss themselves, they come up with a plan by the next day and then set. I feel justified, but the village people gather missing, and decided to first go back together, come back the next day.
phone has a signal when Jane with the State Bank on behalf of a small village call, so he returned to the village, the village people called a meeting to solicit the views of every household, there is a few households are willing to see the construction of caverns, discuss the construction program.
we went back down the mountain.
Street Estate in the monkey, party secretary has come back. He asked me to plan, a female cadres adhere to convince me that investment in the construction of a dam, rather than to each household to build a cistern. of course , the construction of reservoirs should give the money to the village committee, who will be responsible for construction. I am now very alert. I insist that the construction of small dams or small reservoirs, a public investment, the Government should do, I just donated water pit.
I accepted the recommendations of a small simple: give every family 1,000 yuan, so quick completion of construction, to give 1,000 yuan per household, with the way such supervision, to ensure that they start building water cellars. village party secretary State Bank village immediately to the generation of a telephone call, said my plan. period, little Jane raised an additional angle to the village of Sancha subsidies village one o'clock, so he organized the construction of cellars. I had was a little unhappy, and I thousands of miles span of to the donor, and no one to grant ah, but, later, I accepted this proposal, because as each person must be healthy in order to ultimately make things better.
then party secretary advised me to Monkey Street primary donor of the cellar of a large point. He said take me to school to see. schools nearby. village just out of my nose and a fever, the blood flow out at once, squatting roadside, not stop, the reason is the dry climate. I use toilet paper over his nose and went to school with them.
I know, where the students are boarding, and 350 children from various villages, drinking water problems, and sometimes going to back water. that such a situation, I did not hesitate to promise donated a cellar, and, in their plans based on the addition of two thousand dollars, mainly to ensure children's safety and convenience of cleaning cellars, in the dedicated cellar drains, regular cleaning. I live to give money to them, although I think this thing the government should have to do, but I have learned to make a rational choice to face the reality, otherwise the result is unreasonable child We continue to face drinking water problems.

first acclimatized to Yunnan, is probably the food plot, do not want to eat. After dinner, we search for hotels along the way, mysteriously way to a group, and I called Mr. Tsang said, the farmers are now separated, after cultivation, conflicts, lack of mutual aid, suggested that I donated time, and arouse their spirit of cooperation. The proposed contribution actions I later played a very large role. is the case, when in the water, people will be exposed in the selfish side. Sancha Village draft angle problems, not water from another water village, the village adhere to collect ; mm to leave their village because the water too. small things simple for the coordination of several other side also strongly disagreed. Also, in a water source, due to less and less water, put the other villages near the village of the tubes the.
do not blame them, people in extreme situations, will expose their weaknesses. Therefore, I insist that the contributions of rural, should use the child's education!
When we arrived, , villagers have gradually gathered on behalf of the State Bank village home. on behalf of the village chief told us the case of a meeting convened by the village last night, do not agree to build only a cellar, but he said early in the morning and find the building, and a further three have built cellars, one again to build a, the other two have built some want to give subsidies. I noticed a detail, visited the homes of villagers, each are close to Chairman Mao.
each other representative of the basic in place, we began the meeting. little Jane Thanks in advance countries, the villagers say the government's concern, then, about the contribution of the funds must be used exclusively for building water cellars, each donor's family to accept sign a pledge, If the diversion of funds to be returned. Later, the guarantee does not spend, we use a democratic discussion, multiple ways to solve the problem of supervision.
Then I put it simply a few words of thanks to the State, I said: I was very touched, because in such a difficult situation fixed not easy! Now, in the dry before, you have to re-unite and help each other, building water cellars to protect the good life requires, and then live in peace and do things. I wish you will live happy! No more subsidies to.
I immediately announced to them two grants of 2,000 yuan each. I said: flustered. hard-working people will never lose! cellar leading group, by the mayor in charge on behalf of the State Bank, agreed to buy, transport of cement, sand, steel and other materials, to employ a unified paint and other skilled professionals to understand. the purchase of materials and all other details of the bill, are listed, to the whole village public, but also to village officials on behalf of my little Jane and the Working Group on Mutual Assistance Runtu announced Thao, so that the formation of multiple oversight mechanisms, so that the whole process becomes transparent.
than I originally planned to do so directly to the money to each well. the one hand, some families do not recognize the importance of water cellars, feel the dry season the chances the past, may be used for other purposes. On the other hand, uniform purchase of materials and transportation costs lower, but more importantly is that the village people to effectively organize, the people more homogeneous, and in the face of difficulties, we have more power to and rely on.
Then, I let folks mention what the difficulties, they said that cellars built templates easy to find, little Jane promised to help coordinate and solve their problems. In this way, the construction of cellars things implemented.'s face before the whole, I give the money to the mayor on behalf of the State Bank, Run the remaining money to the mutual aid of the Thao soil, such as cellars after the start, the balance left to Sancha Thao Kok Village, to ensure that all funds used in the construction of a real cellar up. addition to the already built Cellar The two subsidy of 2,000 yuan each, another 44,000 yuan donation of 22 new water cellars (and later, when counting the number of households, more of a household, the house has just split into the two).
period, a villagers come to me, the original, he does not belong to the scope of this assistance, he hoped to help them build a cellar of collective village, near water sources due to the distance, they build a ten households use enough. I readily agreed. To to build water cellars things well, and I gave on behalf of the village and small private Jane subsidy of 1,000 yuan each. After all, the cost of doing things takes time and effort. And, I'm afraid because Tomorrow is on behalf of the mayor, who said the event What if he is not happy and Liaotiao Zi. little Jane had not high wages, to find someone to build water cellars by the template also needs a waste of breath, and from the need to transport costs and other expenses. In addition, they do this, there are opportunity costs . This is nothing subsidies, but do things in their favor.
things over, there's a scene that moved me: A villager gave me a pair of insoles, and then, more insoles used , each pair of insoles are good with needle and thread, and represent their wishes. This simple way to become the most cordial of my life the best part of memory. peers for everyone to have this kind of insole, on behalf of feelings of the villagers are grateful insole.
cellar and bottled water donated things over, I began to car rental alone, the investigation of the drought conditions, to obtain the true information (that is to write an article under investigation to the case) . until you leave the eve of Yunnan, a time when PhD students working to contact me, I come to think there are students in Kunming, friends, the students in Yunnan, a major real estate company manager, I save time in Xundian He is also the same day in the same county disaster relief. I changed my ticket, and the evening visits to talk about for a long time. to early contact, I do not have a special car.
(4) I go a little off topic
The Xundian, is under the jurisdiction of Kunming. Later I learned that now, the most difficult places in Yunnan near the Sichuan Zhaotong, if anyone is willing to charitable giving, please go to offer some more love there.
in the rescue process , I have come across a few in Yunnan and rescue work, salvage mm basically point to point or water to give the money directly to victims. impressed me most, is a construction company, so that employee contributions, when no one donated, said to contribute directly to the victims hands of the people, the highest contributions to the donor immediately above the earthquake of 4 times! people is not no love, but it hurts too ruthless. Wenchuan earthquake caused the people to maximize the release of love However, abuse and other real money, so many people's hearts cold. and direct donation cost is very high. Some buy mineral water delivery to the arid, the cost of mailing several times in the water. I am the donation, only to and from accommodation, car rental and other expenses, may be built several cellars.
so I am pleased that the Government has begun to attach importance to water, some began to build canals. I see that is one of 30 million government investment projects (small simple description). so once the drains into the network, link up, will play an active role in the future. but 30 million of investment is clearly too little, there must be more money put into these water conservancy construction.
back to Shanghai to see such a post:
the province has attracted attention Xundian Qing Yi Autonomous County in 30 years, the CPC Kunming municipal government intervention, cancellation of the Hui and Yi Autonomous County of Xundian March 30 held in the county celebrate the 30th anniversary celebration hh modern aesthetic vision and innovations of techniques, highlighting the local culture to Seeing, and strive to gather popularity, pride, the atmosphere as a whole, the Acura party's reform and opening up, people of all ethnic policy and the construction of Xundian great initiative beautiful Garden of Eden. is said to also ask the national front-line singers and presenters, the show from the stage layout, appearance fees in the budget speech the news staff is 12 million, the stars of the appearance fee for the millions of dollars.
