"What are we most precious to give to children today? ——2022 Please answer "The release ceremony of the Shanghai Soong Ching Ling Foundation public welfare propaganda film was held in Shanghai today. Under the background of the new era, how to educate young children and young people in love, how to enhance their public aesthetics and pursuit of beauty, this series of topics related to the growth of the motherland's "seedlings", triggered heated discussion among experts from all walks of life at the meeting. The Shanghai Soong Ching Ling Foundation also took this opportunity to "ask the people for advice" and officially issued an initiative to the whole society to "gather wisdom, offer advice, absorb true knowledge, and talk about the future" to provide suggestions for the growth and development of children in the new era, and the activity will continue until the end of 2022.
Mr. Song Qingling once said that the most precious things should be given to children. Attaching importance to children is a symbol of the progress of a country and a society, and letting children grow up healthy and happy is the greatest wish and expectation of every family, and it is also the foundation and support for the country to become prosperous and strong.
"In any age, the most precious thing is the same – our love for our children. But what is the meaning of this love? It is worth everyone's thoughts. "Zhao Lihong, vice chairman of the Shanghai Writers Association and honorary president of Shanghai Literature Magazine, said that we should give children clean air, provide abundant materials, create a better living environment for them, and let them have a happy childhood, but these are not enough." Let the children have a better spiritual life, let them know the truth, goodness and beauty of the world from an early age, and know how to be a noble person, which is the most important. Zhao Lihong said that we should let the children go up a high place along a path of reverence for truth and goodness, and go in the direction of light. How to do this requires the care and attention and efforts of the whole society.
"Every individual is unique, which is the biggest challenge for educators," said Feng Lirong, a national model of teaching and educating people and principal of Shanghai Soong Ching Ling School, adding that the road to children's education has been explored for nearly a hundred years and is still keeping pace with the times. Modern children have a lot of troubles, and although they face a media-rich society, they still feel lonely. "At this time, parents and teachers should be the first friends of their children, willing to appreciate them and discover their strengths." Feng Lirong said, "It is too important to sow love in the hearts of children, only love can save everyone, but the difficulty is how to give." ”
Reading allows children to see the epitome of the world, but the biggest problem for children now is not too few books but too many books.
"It's not called reading by handing over a bunch of books to children," said Qin Wenjun, a children's literature writer and vice chairman of the Shanghai Writers Association, as the initiator of the "Shanghai Soong Ching Ling Foundation Qin Wenjun Children's Hui Reading and Writing Public Welfare Special Fund", "To use good stories to ignite children's interest in reading, from liking to writing." She uses "wisdom" to explain the importance of reading and writing for the growth of each individual, which is related to how to communicate and express smoothly, about understanding and insight into life, about the emotion of the mother tongue, and about the construction of aesthetic power.
It is reported that this public welfare activity will start this year and is aimed at children at the primary school level. "Although the landing point is reading and writing, the core is to shape the child's mind with heart, give them self-confidence, and ignite their enthusiasm and hope for life." Qin Wenjun said.
Shanghai Soong Ching Ling Foundation grew up with China's reform and opening up, and is a 5A-level public welfare social organization focusing on the cause of women and children. In 2021, the Shanghai Soong Ching Ling Foundation focused on the fields of women's medical care, women's education, children's medical care, children's education, and children's culture, and carried out 108 public welfare projects throughout the year, with a public welfare expenditure of 60.7 million yuan.
In the new year, Shanghai Soong Ching Ling Foundation continues to uphold Mr. Soong Ching Ling's philanthropic concept, guided by the "Outline for the Development of Chinese Women and Children (2021-2030)" and the "Outline for the Development of Chinese Children (2021-2030)", closely focusing on the two main lines of women and children, focusing on women and children's work, and continuously enhancing the sense of gain, happiness and security of women and children; keeping pace with the times to create new charity brands, develop new cultural public welfare projects, and continue to cultivate brand connotations. Gather more social forces and promote the high-quality development of women's and children's cause with love and responsibility.
