Sanxiang Metropolitan Daily New Hunan Client, January 12 (Text/Video All-media reporter Tian Tian) The Internet is changing with each passing day, and there is a small thing Ali has silently insisted on for 10 years: in 2013, he launched the "Positive Energy Every Day" public welfare project to pay attention to and encourage the spread of "true, good, and beautiful" ordinary acts of kindness.

According to the ten-year evaluation report of the "Daily Positive Energy" project released by the China Philanthropy Research Institute of Beijing Normal University on the 12th, the project has invested 100 million yuan so far, and a total of 11,570 people have been rewarded.
10 years spent 100 million, just to say "thank you" to ordinary good people, thank them for bringing positive energy to society, is it worth it? Sun Lijun, chairman of Alibaba Foundation, said that this matter is not only "worthwhile", but also persistent. Sun Lijun said, "In the next decade, we will continue to focus on finding those stories that awaken goodness and love, no matter how small the individual, no matter how small the light, condensed can become a starry sky." ”
Getting a better world starts with small things
At a noodle shop in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, an old man would show up on time every day, take out a hand-drawn "banknote" from his pocket, and buy some noodles. The owner Li Guose tacitly accepted the "money" and loaded it for the old man, which Li Guose did for 10 years before the special old man died. After receiving the "Daily Positive Energy" award, he said: "I am full of gratitude for receiving so many honors and affirmations, and I will continue to pass on this love and do something for more elderly people in need." ”
Small but beautiful kindness, never absent from us, they just need the opportunity to be seen. Believing in the greatness of small, letting more people know about beautiful things, and letting the emotion and love be transmitted, it is with such a public welfare vision that Alibaba Charity launched the "Positive Energy Every Day" project in 2013. 11,570 winners' names, each vivid and specific.
"They" are Li Baomin, a Shandong truck driver, who suddenly came to the aid of the epidemic, chewing Shandong pancakes and indifferently saying that "there is no money to contribute"; After receiving the "Daily Positive Energy" reward, he burst into tears, crying and saying that he would donate the prize money to "children without fathers and mothers". "They" are Chen Wuxian, the foreman of Henan Integrity Contractor, who has only sought the word "integrity" after 15 years of part-time work and repayment; He didn't spend a single cent of the 20,000 yuan positive energy reward, and donated it all to Ludian, Yunnan, which was affected by the earthquake. "They" are Li Cuilan, a sanitation worker in Yueqing, Zhejiang Province, who has been picking up discarded umbrellas for six years in her spare time, washing them and repairing them, and then giving them to passers-by without umbrellas on rainy days. The word public welfare may seem big, but it may be a small thing when it comes to everyday life. Li Baomin, Chen Wuxian, Li Cuilan... These most common names may become the protagonists of the times because of an insistence.
Why Ali?
In 2013, with the ambition of "at this moment, it is none other than me", Alibaba issued the "Daily Positive Energy Declaration".
"To promote the good deeds of mortals, why Ali?" Since its first day online, "Daily Positive Energy" has faced such a discussion.
On January 12, the "Ten-Year Evaluation Report of the "Daily Positive Energy" Project released by the China Philanthropy Research Institute of Beijing Normal University answered this question from a ten-year perspective.
Wang Zhenyao, dean of the China Philanthropy Research Institute at Beijing Normal University, said: "We often say that it is difficult to be a good person, and to do good deeds is not understood, and sometimes we even encounter various criticisms and misunderstandings; The 'Daily Positive Energy' project allows virtuous people to be rewarded, good people to be rewarded, and famous and real, which is an innovation of public welfare mechanism. ”
"From making it easy to do business in the world to making it easy to do good deeds in the world, 100 million donations, ten years of persistence, is particularly remarkable." Wang Zhenyao said.
Ten years ago, the manifesto of "Positive Energy Every Day" had the most romantic expression of this: "As you are, the world will be, your eyes are bright, and the world will not be dark; If your heart is happy, the world will not be sad. ”
Ten years later, experts and scholars in the field of philanthropy tracked 11,570 awards in the past ten years, and wrote the following comments in the project evaluation report: "It starts with a firm belief in small and beautiful, and finally the practice of public welfare for everyone." When the glimmer of individual good deeds is amplified through the social evaluation system, more people will be inspired to follow suit; This benign interaction between individual acts of kindness and the social evaluation system helps to establish a cycle of goodness, which is also the valuable social value accumulated by the Tian Tian Positive Energy Project over the past ten years. ”
Ten years of persistence, what has been witnessed?
Promoting the good deeds of ordinary people and awakening the hearts of the world, "Positive Energy Every Day" has been fortunate to find fellow travelers from the beginning - media partners with a common philosophy: the excavation of every character story and the issuance of every public welfare bonus are jointly carried out by the project team and media partners.
Over the past decade, the geographical territory of the winners has expanded. By the end of 2022, it has covered more than 300 prefecture-level cities and more than 1,000 county-level administrative districts across the country. Henan, Zhejiang, Shandong, Hubei, Jiangsu, Sichuan, Liaoning, Hunan, Shaanxi and Heilongjiang became the top ten provinces with the most positive energy awards, of which Henan ranked first in the country in terms of the number of winners.
Ten years of hand in hand, Sanxiang Metropolitan Daily as a "daily positive energy" cooperative media. In 2022, they collaborated to report on 33 positive energy figures and two collectives, including Long Xiuli, a female nurse who rescued a teenager who fell into the water for 3 minutes; There is Chen Yu, a single mother who pinches the direction of her life with one hand; There is Luo Zekun, a senior in high school who kneels to save people...
Because of a chance encounter on the way to school, Luo Zekun, a senior in high school, rushed to the side of the fainted old man regardless of his body, did cardiopulmonary resuscitation and artificial respiration, and broke down and cried after learning the news that the old man died after ineffective rescue. This is the most innocent and fiery heart of a teenager. Luo Zekun is a microcosm of Chinese teenagers, and after winning the award, the first thing he thought of was to learn more professional first aid knowledge after the college entrance examination.
The next decade has begun, and "Positive Energy Every Day" has once again issued the initiative "We dream above our heads and move forward", just like ten years ago.
