A local man in the countryside paid 20,000 yuan out of his own pocket to install 64 street lights, just to light the way for the children to go home. This kind of behavior is really admirable. In his eyes, the safety and well-being of children is far more important than municipal red tape.
Such a move is admirable, but it also makes people worry. Has the relevant department been reported? If not, it will inevitably lead to a series of troubles. After all, this is a matter that touches the scope of municipal power, and if it touches the red line, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses.
You know, if the municipal government does this, it will have to go through a lot of cumbersome procedures. Research, application, approval, bidding...... The myriad of steps will make the whole process extremely complex, and the cost of time and capital will be greatly increased. But the man used a mere 20,000 yuan to get things done. The efficiency and determination is truly breathtaking.
In such a bureaucratic social environment, his behavior is even more eye-catching. His actions show us that sometimes, we don't have to wait for official approval and financial support, and that each of us can do what we can to improve the environment we live in, as long as we want to.
20,000 yuan is definitely not a small amount for an ordinary salaried person. For him, it could be his hard-earned savings for a year. However, he was apprehensive because he knew that it was for a greater purpose – to keep the children safe and stop feeling lonely and scared on the way home.
Perhaps this man's actions were just a speck of dust, but it was such a speck of dust that gathered into a desert. Each of us may never have thought that we could make such a contribution to change the environment around us and benefit the common people.
In this materialistic society, many people are chasing fame, fortune and material things, but few people can influence others with their good deeds like this man, and warm every fall in this society. His goodwill and actions are a silent protest against bureaucracy and, above all, an awakening to the conscience of society.
Whether it's the local municipality or other relevant departments, they should all learn something from this incident. Bureaucratic red tape may be able to regulate management to a certain extent, but it also often hinders the occurrence of some behaviors that are truly beneficial to society. Perhaps, they should pay more attention to people's livelihood and help those who really need help, rather than confined to the pile of documents in the office.
This man's actions show us that changing the world does not have to be a huge cost and investment, as long as we are willing, everyone can do what they can to make this world a better place. May such acts of kindness infect more people and fill this society with love and warmth.
