Recently, the wind direction of the circle of friends has changed suddenly. In the past, we were all posting how much money it had spent in the past year, but now it was brushed by Alibaba's public welfare "public welfare bill", and everyone was doing more public welfare than anyone else.
Among them, some people donate steps, some people buy public welfare treasures to be kind, and some people do volunteer services online. These usually insignificant bits of goodwill accumulation have given the children in the mountains a new runway, let the widows and the elderly eat hot meals, and turn the barren desert into a green ocean.
According to data from Alibaba's "Everyone 3 Hours" public welfare platform, in 2021, netizens will do an average of 21 good things per person, with an average of 18 days per person doing good deeds. After the data came out, it completely ignited tens of millions of netizens. Someone said: "Looking at my public welfare bill, I didn't expect that I had done so many good things in a year and helped so many people unconsciously." Another person sighed: "I didn't expect that the few cents donated when buying things would become the most expensive thing in the world." ”
China's public welfare undertakings are undergoing earth-shaking changes driven by Internet technology. In the past, people's impression of public welfare was nothing more than donating money, donating blood or going to the countryside to support education, not only had requirements for time and place, but also had to have certain physical or professional qualities in order to give love. Now, just walking around and buying something online can give love, which not only saves trouble, but also helps those in need.
This public welfare model in China makes many foreigners unable to understand it. For example, last year, China's slow train of public welfare poverty alleviation caused an uproar in the West. These "green-skinned trains" covering 21 provinces in China are designed to help people in poor areas get rid of poverty and become rich. Not only to provide convenience for children to go to school, but also the people's vegetables and fruits, pigs and sheep can be taken on the train. It can be said that these green-skinned trains are doing the most precious things in the world at the lowest fare.
According to the data, in 2020 alone, the total amount of donations Chinese reached 27 billion yuan. Foreign media have lamented that the Western public welfare model is lagging behind.
You know, most of the donations in the West come from the super-rich who account for 1% of the population of the United States, such as Buffett, Bill Gates and so on. On the one hand, China is vigorously building infrastructure to do public welfare services, on the other hand, Internet companies and technologies have made public welfare daily and life-oriented, so that eating and shopping can become public welfare, and ordinary people can help ordinary people. Buffett and Bill Gates have only one, but ordinary people have thousands of them, and they concentrate on doing big things, which is a truth that the West will never understand.
