I don't know if anyone remembers Long Jingying, last year she was on fire because of the title of beautiful female volunteer teacher, this year she was also discussed by many people, and this time it was because of administrative punishment.
The Changsha Civil Affairs Bureau recently imposed an administrative penalty on an institution suspected of violating public fundraising and was given a warning to return the funds raised to donors.
This institution is the "Changsha Shan yin gongyi student service center", and its legal representative is Long Jingjian.
The 27-year-old Columbia University master's degree, nine years of study, participated in volunteer teaching for ten years, volunteer teaching footprints throughout 24 remote mountain schools, this is the name that Long Jingjian has always flaunted.
In 1993, Long Jingjian was born in Changsha, Hunan Province.
In 2011, at the age of 17, Long Jingjian's first year of studying abroad began her ten-year volunteer teaching career.
The line between her reading and volunteer teaching is clear, and she will only return to her hometown to volunteer until the summer vacation.
At that time, the conditions were very bad, the mountain road was not repaired, she and her volunteer team walked nearly two hours of mountain road to reach the primary school of the volunteer teaching, and then she got along well with the children and came up with the idea of helping them.
She decided to start her own practice.
"Changing the world is not a big deal, it is a solemn commitment to me."
In 2012, she launched the "Love One Dollar" campaign.
He called on a group of friends and classmates to collect donations from a donation box made of shoe boxes in Times Square in the United States, and received more than 500 US dollars.
That was her little beginning.
Since then, she has been paying close attention to public welfare and volunteer education every year, but it seems that she is making donations remotely, and there is no evidence of volunteer teaching activities in the field.
In 2018, she graduated with a master's degree in sociology from Columbia University.
In this year, she founded the Changsha Shanyin Gongyi Student Aid Service Center.
And she was able to start teaching in the countryside "by herself" wholeheartedly.
In 2020, she began to record her volunteer teaching life on Douyin.
Long Jing's eyes were on fire, and even the official media stood for her, and her label officially became a returnee beauty teacher who had been teaching for ten years.
But what makes many people wonder is that Long Jingjian, who has been teaching for ten years, seems to be a bit "unworthy", and she has no results to come up with in the fire, or it is not as fruitful as she describes.
For ten consecutive years, under the condition of studying, "participated in volunteer teaching", organized 1500 volunteers, and the volunteer teaching footprints covered 24 remote mountain schools, helping more than 2,000 mountain children before and after.
At first glance, it looks very "successful", but it does not stand up to scrutiny, and even more is a pile of numbers.
The curriculum of volunteer teaching is mainly music, art, dance, sports, ideological character, mental health, children's sex education, etc. Long Jingjian teaches children in the mountains to dance, do handicrafts, learn English, receive safety education, etc. with an average annual frequency of 2.4 schools, which is really a bit difficult to understand.
Long Jingjian's Changsha Shanyin Gongyi Aid Service Center has always carried out public welfare fundraising, but what is surprising is that it does not have the qualifications for public fundraising.
In addition, changsha Shan yin gongyi education service center will arrange two volunteer teaching activities every month, as a volunteer teaching public welfare organization, which is understandable.
But this activity caused a lot of controversy.
Volunteer education is generally subsidized, no matter how bad it is, it is free, and this time it is necessary to pay a fee ranging from 2000-5000 yuan, which is mainly a management fee, and even does not cover the donation cost.
In just five days, only two days of the curriculum, the rest of the time are "tourism" activities, it is worth mentioning that short-term volunteer teaching activities are not professional and other knowledge requirements, the main purpose is to cultivate children's interests and hobbies.
This makes people wonder, is this a short-term volunteer teaching or a short-term tour? Does short-term volunteer teaching really make sense? Can we really help children in poor areas?
Learning results need a long-term systematic training to achieve, learning can not be joked, education is serious, children should be respected.
Not only that, Long Jingjian claims to be committed to publicizing and supporting education to call on more forces to invest in education construction in poor areas, but it has obviously achieved little effect, and is even full of strong marketing meaning.
In the long jingjian of the volunteer teachings, she is always neatly dressed, and among the dark-skinned and innocent children, she is dazzling, but also out of place, and even more contrary.
And she is surrounded by many professional high-end shooting equipment, SLRs, stabilizers, and even drones, the so-called Vlogs that record the life of volunteer teachers, but often reveal a sense of tearing, discomfort and business.
It cannot be denied that Long Jingjian is indeed working hard for the volunteer teaching, but the way and purpose are debatable.
She did it, but she wasn't as good as she was packaged.
From her, many people know for the first time:
"It turns out that charity is a business."
It turned out that volunteer teaching was a commercial means.
We are not sure whether Long Jingying has the sincerity to seriously develop volunteer teaching, but her gaining such a large amount of traffic is really a satire on Zhang Guimei, Yang Ming, Xie Binrong and others.
Yang Ming, who gave up his job with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan, did volunteer teaching work in the mountains of Guizhou for 11 years.
Less than forty, his hair was gray, and Yang Ming worked tirelessly to help every child in the mountainous area, even giving up the opportunity to go to graduate school at public expense.
"Giving up graduate school is just giving up an opportunity for further study in life, but giving up reading gives up the future of the mountain village."
Yang Ming has helped more than 100 poor students, contacted the outside world to provide more than 1 million yuan of help materials, and benefited 15 schools in Qianxi County.
Xie Binrong is a retired soldier and a volunteer who has taken root in Liangshan.
Separated from her family at a rural school at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, with inconvenient transportation and lack of water and electricity, she persisted for more than five years.
Because of her insistence, 128 unregistered children entered the school, 7 students entered junior high school, and even a 19-year-old girl was included.
This miracle made the parents of students in neighboring villages prefer to climb over the mountains and send their children to her place to study.
In 2019, she was awarded the title of "The Most Beautiful Strivers".
Zhang Guimei, with 10 years of hard work, built Lijiang Huaping Girls' Senior High School.
Over the years, she has lived on less than 3 yuan a day, but she has saved more than 400,000 yuan and donated it, just so that her students will no longer drop out of school due to poverty.
Because of her, 1645 girls from the mountains went to college, and she suffered from more than ten diseases, but she said it was all worth it.
In 2021, she was awarded the "Moving China Person of the Year 2020".
I hope that there will be fewer people in this world who can do a lot of money under the guise of volunteer education, I hope that there will be fewer people in the direction of Long Jingjian, and I hope that in the future we can pay more attention to and respect those who are serious about education, insist on doing charity, and adhere to the cause of volunteer education.
