A person who reads a hundred books can build a book corner for children in rural schools, can you stick to it? Or donate your voice with a stranger you've never met, would you like to participate?
Many "voice donors" are holding on. Among them are single young people who were originally "socially afraid" and now help strangers from afar with their voices; there are Zhanjiang students who are studying junior high school and want to promote Hakka; there are also freelancers who open milk tea shops in Maoming, and even celebrities and celebrities.
"I want to read that the accumulated books can build a book corner, and I also want to dedicate my own strength to realize the value of my life." The Zhanjiang girl, who was still in the second year of junior high school, told Nandu reporters that when she heard that a Guangzhou mother donated a book corner in the name of her child, such a small wish sprouted in her heart.
Chen Yang, 29, has donated a book corner through reading. He named the book corner "Treasure and Yang", which is the name of him and his friends, and hopes to see the completed book corner together in the future.
Yin Haoyu, a member of the international male singing group INTO1, also formed a team to launch a call as a leader. In less than three days, he has completed the reading goal and will donate a public welfare book corner in Tongren, Guizhou in the name of Nandu N Video.
Recently, on the occasion of World Book Day, Alibaba's "3 Hours for Everyone" public welfare project "Yiqi Reading", together with Nandu N Video and a number of foundations, invited netizens across the country to "donate voices", recommend good books for rural children, and send book corners.
Socially fearful youth regained their self-confidence through "donations"
Kang Kang, a primary school student in Shenzhen, recently received two sets of novels, "The Legend of the Archery Hero" and "Deer DingJi", which were gifts exchanged by his brother Chen Yang through "donations". Compared with others sending teaching aids, these two sets of books make Kang Kang quite satisfied, "Kang Kang is now the only 'reader' in our family," Chen Yang said with a smile.
Since last year, he began to read on "Yiqi Reading", and Chen Yang has been insisting on it for a year. People who know Chen Yang, it is difficult to imagine that he will participate in the "donation voice". Chen Yang is nearly 30 years old, engaged in insurance customer service work, is a typical otaku, does not love social, easy to be shy. He describes himself as a "social phobia" patient, who actually has a soft heart, values his family, values his friends, and always looks forward to helping others within his reach.
Chen Yang did not have much experience in doing public welfare before, and even did not understand that "donation" can also do public welfare, but under the recommendation of friends, he quickly accepted this form, "I think this is very good, you only need to read silently, you don't need to forward the circle of friends, don't bother the people around you, I am very friendly to 'social terror' people like me."
After reading 150 books, Chen Yang was pleasantly surprised to find that he could sign a physical book corner. The staff told him that the book corner would land in Guizhou or Wuhan.
He chose to give the book corner his and his friends' names: "Bao and Yang". When he mentioned the upcoming book corner, he hoped to go with his friends to see it in person, but shyly said, "Or just send me a picture when the time comes." "He wants to help others, but he's afraid of being discovered by more people."
In addition to reading the excerpts provided on the platform, Chen Yang also began to ask himself to read more books and find more content worth sharing, he recently found a colleague to borrow "Water Margin" to see, "I tried to record a paragraph of "Water Margin" on the platform, the result was not successful because of the timeout", Chen Yang laughed, "Reading and reading, I forgot the time."
Chen Yang's life has also undergone profound changes. In the past, he thought that he was a person who "thought too much and did too little", and there were many ideas that wanted to do public welfare, but "Yiqi Reading" became a public welfare project that allowed him to stick to it all the time and see the results of his efforts; he began to like to share the content he read with the people around him, "Recommend books, first of all, you must read the books yourself, and then tell others after you understand, which is a particularly good way to learn."
Every morning at six o'clock, Chen Yang would get up and walk his dog. And now, before walking the dog, the first thing he had to do was read. This young man, who used to be introverted and afraid of being "discovered", can now confidently convey his voice.
Junior high school students read poetry and novels to promote Hakka
In addition to adults such as Chen Yang, who have already worked, there are many students among the participants of "Yiqi Reading". The junior high school students in Zhanjiang are old, and it is the road of "donation" that has been opened by mistake. Originally from the recommendation of her friends, She inadvertently clicked into Alibaba's "Everyone 3 Hours" public welfare platform and discovered the "Yiqi Reading" project. Years of love of reading and recitation quickly became attracted to this form.
She still remembers the first voice she donated, "One of my brothers sent a text saying that he was looking for people who used Hakka on the Internet, and I read it out in Hakka." I also clicked in and listened to a lot of versions read out in other dialects around the country, which I found very interesting. ”
Mentioning this, she even felt that she was shouldering the mission of promoting her hometown dialect, and as fewer and fewer people around her spoke dialects, she hoped to read Hakka dialect to more people, "I want to publicize the dialect culture of my hometown, I know that some dialects have disappeared, and no one has spread this culture." ”
Her favorite subject is Chinese, and she loves to read and poetry. Her favorite fiction writer is Keigo Higashino because she likes to tell stories of human nature; her favorite poem is the poem "Guan Ju" in the Book of Poetry in the textbook, "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the River Continent." Lady, gentleman", the old man gently read the poem, "I like this beautiful language, rich in emotion. ”
Memorizing poems is the biggest difficulty for the students around her to learn Chinese, but it is never difficult for the years, and she almost never forgets the poetry she likes.
Therefore, I still remember my feelings when I heard Bian Zhilin's "Broken Chapter", "You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people who watch the scenery look at you upstairs." The bright moon decorates your window, you decorate other people's dreams. It was another user-uploaded voice, and the old man said that it was a very good female voice, and when she read it, she was very emotional, which made her remember it to this day."
After learning that after reading enough 100 books, you can build a book corner with the right to sign in the rural primary school, the years made a wish, "I want to read that I can build a book corner, and I also want to dedicate my own strength."
In the past, under the influence of my mother, I was no stranger to public welfare activities. In addition to the activities organized by the school to donate money and materials to sick children, the elderly mother also asked her to take her classmates to the nursing home to accompany the elderly and wash the hair of the elderly.
And "Yiqi Reading" is the first online public welfare project that she has participated in for many years, and she feels that this form is very convenient, "just need to take a little time to read, you can help others, this (form) is too good." ”
As a junior high school student who goes to school every day, she usually reads a paragraph or two after coming home from school after eating, or reading a paragraph or two after getting up in the morning, which does not take up too much of her time.
Five thousand voices donated N video public welfare book corner
After Chen Yang began to "donate", he pulled several friends and colleagues around him to join in. The reason why I gave the exchanged books to my brother was also to let my brother participate with him, "I hope that my family can see that there is positive feedback on doing this."
Like Chen Yang, Nian Nian also recommended "Yiqi Reading" to her friends and classmates around her, and her friends' unanimous feedback was "very fun", and this new and interesting "donation voice" game quickly spread among her peers. Their peers may not know about the rural schools on the other side of the web, but they all like to read aloud and listen to voices from all over the world on the platform.
Even if there is no recommendation from others, there are not a few people who mistakenly hit and become volunteers. Maoming's post-90s milk tea shop owner Xiha Brother also stumbled upon the "Everyone 3 Hours" public welfare platform, thus learning about "Yiqi Reading". He is busy at work on weekdays, and only in the middle of the night can he have time to calm down and read. During the "donation", it was as if he had returned to the time when he was reading aloud during his time on campus.
In addition to ordinary people, celebrities and celebrities have also mobilized their power and led more people to participate. Recently, Nandu N Video invited public welfare leader singer Su Miaoling and Yin Haoyu, a member of the international male singing group INTO1, to form a team to launch a call for recruitment. In less than three days, Yin Haoyu had completed his reading goal, attracting more than 1,000 people to participate, with a total of more than 5,000 love donations. This means that the platform will donate a public welfare book corner in Tongren, Guizhou in the name of Nandu N Video.
Alibaba Public Welfare Xiaoer Lianjun revealed that through Taobao, Alipay, Quark and other clients to search for "everyone for 3 hours" to enter the public welfare platform, the number of users in Guangdong is the first. There is a mother in the countryside on the outskirts of Guangzhou who has read more than 300 books in "Yiqi Reading". Eventually, she built a book corner in the name of her own children.
This also inspired the creation of Guangzhou's local rap singer Li Wenxuan, who posted an original Cantonese rap at the "Donate Voice" event, and the lyrics of the lyrics are very suitable for the moment. Li Wenxuan said, "Recently, during the epidemic period, primary school students in Guangzhou have suspended classes, and many mothers have headaches and children do not like to read, and it is not easy to manage. This gave me creative inspiration. ”
In addition to the Guangdong participants, users across the country showed enthusiasm. Since its launch in September 2020, the "Yiqi Reading" project has accumulated more than 15 million participants, donated more than 1.4 million virtual books online, and donated more than 600,000 books to rural children in 8 provinces and cities across the country offline. Less than 3 years after its launch, the platform has precipitated a large number of voice volunteers, and among the audio materials uploaded by people, traditional poems, famous articles, current affairs interpretations, popular science topics and other content are most popular among rural children.
In the past three years, Ali Public Welfare and "Yiqi Reading" have joined hands with capital libraries, Hubei Provincial Library and other social organizations to donate more than 260 physical book corners and libraries named after users in 27 rural primary schools in Enshi, Suizhou, Sichuan Liangshan, Jiangxi Ganzhou, Gansu Longnan and other four provinces and five places, covering nearly 20,000 rural left-behind children.
Love is passed between cities and villages through the Internet. Chen Yang seems to be able to imagine the children who listen to the voice at the other end - "I will imagine what kind of stories those children like to listen to", Chen Yang said, "I will go to find the kind of stories that are suitable for children to read, I like it, I think they will also like it."
