Chapter 11 Concentric Society
At 6 o'clock in the morning, Wu Tongyu got up on time. In order not to wake up her roommates who were immersed in sweet dreams, she gently washed and walked out of the dormitory to the playground.
In the autumn morning, the grass is full of dewdrops, showing colorful colors under the morning sun, but the dewdrops will soon fade away, just like most beautiful things in the world. But it is not terrible to disappear, because the beauty has remained in people's hearts. The feelings between people are the most wonderful and complex. Two people who are irrevant to each other may also have wonderful feelings. Maybe this kind of relationship is not family affection, not friendship, let alone love, but it is the most touching.
"Wu Tongyu"
"Lin Ting, senior? Hello!"
"Hello! Wu Tongyu, come to exercise?"
"Hmm! Yes, senior."
"Do you come every day?" A bright smile appeared on Lin Ting's handsome face, and the bronze skin shed sweat after exercise, reflecting a little brilliance under the morning light. The whole person looked vigorous and energetic.
"Hmm! I come here every day."
"I've wanted to talk to you for a long time. Let's go!"
"Okay!" Wu Tongyu nodded with a smile and chatted with Lin Ting while walking slowly on the playground runway.
Wu Tongyu met Lin Ting at the National Day party. At that time, Lin Ting was the host of the party. Lin Ting was surprised that a girl sang a pure man's song. He couldn't help but look at Wu Tongyu with new eyes and encouraged her not to be nervous.
"Did you have a good time during the National Day?" Lin Ting asked with a smile.
"Hmm! I'm very happy."
"Where did you play?"
"Well, I didn't go anywhere. I went to work during the National Day."
"Ha ha! Really! Have you made money to buy new clothes for yourself?
"No."
"Didn't you buy anything for yourself?"
"No!"
"It's good, it's good! This spirit of work and study is worth learning.
"Ps. Lin Ting, where did you go during the National Day?"
"During the National Day, I went to Tibet with members of our community."
"Tibet?"
"It's really beautiful there. The sky is blue and clear, and the air is fresh and refreshing. Everything is simple and clean. Every time you go there, the whole person will become transparent and clean." Lin Ting looked intoxicated, as if he had returned to the scene in Tibet at that time.
"Is it so amazing?"
"Yes! Tibet is a sacred and beautiful place. In Tibet, there are several poor children funded by our community to visit them during the National Day holiday.
"Does your community also fund poor children? What kind of club?" Wu Tongyu asked curiously.
"'Concentric Society'." Lin Ting said with a serious face.
"'Concentric Society'?"
"This association was established on September 10 last year, and it has not been long."
"Oh?!' What does the Tongxin Society mainly do?
"One thing is to help children in poor areas; the other is to help ourselves."
"Sesp. Lin Ting, I can understand helping children in poor areas, but what does it mean to help ourselves?" Wu Tongyu asked puzzledly.
"Helping ourselves is to exercise our ability to be self-reliable."
Looking at Wu Tongyu's still confused eyes, Lin Ting pointed to the students on campus and continued, "Look, most of these students on the campus are spoiled. They grew up under the doting of their parents, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing. These 'greenhouse flowers' have not experienced the experience of the wind and rain outside, and their thoughts, perseverance and other aspects are very fragile. Don't let them help others. Without their parents, how to survive is unknown.
"Uh-huh!" Wu Tongyu nodded.
"The core concept of 'Concentric Society' is to use your own strength to help others."
"Your own strength?"
"It's to work to make money and help children in poor areas."
"How long will that help?"
"Children will no longer be subsidized after graduating from high school or technical secondary school."
"What if they are admitted to college, what about the tuition and living expenses during college?"
For tuition fees, you can apply for a student loan. Moreover, when they get to college, they are adults and are fully capable of solving the problems of living expenses and tuition fees by themselves.
"Hmm! That's right!" Wu Tongyu said thoughtfully.
"We not only provide financial support to children, but also instill in children the idea of self-reliance and caring for others. We are committed to creating a virtuous circle and helping after receiving help. How's it going? Wu Tongyu, are you interested in joining our 'Concentric Society'?
"Me? ~" Wu Tongyu looked at Lin Ting and smiled awkwardly, thinking: It is difficult for his mud bodhisattva to cross the river. How can he be able to help others!
"I'll give you a website, which is from our Tongxin Club. Please remember it and browse it when you are free."
"Well, okay, senior, you can say it!"
Wu Tongyu took out his mobile phone and recorded the website of Tongxin Club.
"And my mobile phone number, you can also remember it! If you need any help, you can come to me at any time.
"Oh! OK, senior, please tell me!"
Wu Tongyu saved Lin Ting's mobile phone number.
After lunch, Wu Tongyu came to the post office and sent the letter to Dean He. Back in the dormitory, Xiao Nan was alone. She was lying in ** reading.
"Xiao Yu, I'm back!"
"Hmm! Xiao Nan, what are you looking at?
"Novel."
"Xiao Nan, can I use your computer to check some information?"
"You can use it as you like. My computer doesn't have a password. You can use it when you open it."
"Thank you! Xiao Nan."
"Why are you so polite to me? Use it!" Xiao Nan said with a grin.
Wu Tongyu opened Xiao Nan's computer, entered the URL of "Tongxin Club", and browsed it carefully.
"The Tongxin Society was established on September 10, 2006, the founder - Lin Ting. "Xiang. Lin Ting?" Wu Tongyu said to himself in surprise and continued to browse carefully.
As of September 2007, there were five members, namely: Lin Ting, Xu Lu, Shen Fei, Wang Qingfeng and Li Ran. Huh? There are only five members?" Wu Tongyu felt puzzled again.
"Application conditions for 'Concentric Society': 1. Students in the School of Fine Arts can apply for membership;
2. Students who apply for membership must give up their family's financial resources. First of all, self-reliance, work by yourself to make money to solve the living expenses and tuition fees during college; then, help others, work to make money to support children in poor areas to go to school.
3. Students applying for membership should provide a real part-time job certificate. Once any forged certificate is found, they will be disqualified.
"Oh?! No wonder there are only five members!" Wu Tongyu sighed.
"'Concentric Society' funding standard: primary school 500 yuan/person/year, secondary school is 900 yuan/person/year, high school is 1100 yuan/person/year, and the number of applicants is not limited; 'Concentric Society' funding period: from primary school, whether members graduate or not, they need to be funded until after graduating from high school/secondary school, will No more funding.
"The basic purpose of 'Concentric Society' is to create a virtuous charity circle. Every child who receives help inherits the concept of helping others after becoming an adult, and continues to help children in other poor areas."
"Oh!" Wu Tongyu was surprised that senior Lin Ting thought so long that he suddenly admired Lin Ting.
In the "community style", Wu Tongyu saw Lin Ting's senior in Tibet, with the children's flowers of the motherland, showing an innocent smile. The bright smile of senior Lin Ting is like warm sunshine, warming every child's heart.
Wu Tongyu browsed some other contents, "contact information, contacts, etc."
Wu Tongyu silently calculated some numbers in his heart: his annual tuition fee is 14,000 yuan, his monthly living expenses are 400 yuan, and his annual living expenses are 4,800 yuan. In this way, his tuition and living expenses add up to 18,800 yuan a year.
I earn 60 yuan every night and 1,800 yuan per month. Except for the monthly living expenses of 400 yuan, I still have 1,400 yuan left. I can save 16,800 yuan a year, which is still 2,000 yuan. In addition to work during summer vacation, winter vacation and holidays, I should not ask about the living expenses and the tuition fee of the next year. Question.
A poor child needs 500 yuan to go to primary school, 900 yuan to middle school, and 1,100 yuan to go to high school. Based on his current income, he doesn't know if he can squeeze out the subsidy and whether to join the "Concentric Society". Wu Tongyu is a little hesitant.
Xiao Nan looked at Wu Tongyu in a daze at the computer. She didn't know what she was thinking and came over curiously.
"Xiao Yu, what are you looking at! So focused."
"Well! I'm looking at the website of Tongxinshe.
"'Concentric Society'? What are you doing?
"School associations that mainly help children in poor areas go to school."
"Oh? How can you pay attention to this matter?"
"In the morning, when I was exercising, I met senior Lin Ting."
"Principal Lin Ting, is that the president of the Student Union?"
"Hmm! Yes. Lin Ting asked me if I was interested in joining the 'Tongxin Club' and gave me a website, so I wanted to know more about it.
"Oh! That's it! So are you going to join?"
"I haven't figured it out yet!"
Xiao Nan also browsed the web page of Tongxinshe.
"This is too harsh! It's okay to work by yourself to subsidize poor children. How can you even earn your own living expenses and tuition fees during college?"
"Xiaoyu, you'd better not join."
"Why?"
"You see, there have been only five people since its establishment!"
"Hmm! It's quite rare."
"Why doesn't Lin Ting invite others to join, but invites you! There must be something wrong with this. Don't join.
"Huh? What's the problem?"
"Listen to me, don't join."
Wu Tongyu didn't understand the reason for Xiao Nan's concern. She guessed that maybe Xiao Nan just cared about herself and didn't want to work too hard. But she was not sure whether to join the "Concentric Society" or not.
