Outside Xingfu Community, there is a simple pergola, and a trolley-style recruitment advertisement is erected in front of the pergola: Old books also have life - please ignite their enthusiasm and help children in poor mountainous areas.

Then below is a picture, a child has messy hair, dirty cheeks, and big eyes full of desire, with one sentence: I want to read!

Two college students who were responsible for raising old books on the spot were sorting out the collected old books, wiped the old books clean with a rag, and then disinfected the alcohol, and neatly put them into thick cardboard boxes.

They came out at around 8 o'clock in the morning, and now it is eleven o'clock. In just three hours, they have collected about 150 books. Most of these books were taken by some old men and grandmothers. They said that their grandchildren have grown up and have not read these books, so they took them out and donated them, hoping to help the children in the mountains.

What impressed the two college students the most was that one of them was an old lady who was carrying more than a dozen books with a crutch, and went back and forth from the third floor of her home three times, donating more than 30 books. Afterwards, the two college students regretted it and said that they had known that the old lady was inconvenient to move and lived so far. As long as they were notified, they could go directly to get it without the old lady's effort. But the old lady said that the book was not heavy, and he was also exercising himself from going up and downstairs. The most important thing was that this stall could not be separated from people and they had to watch it because many people had to donate books. The old lady also said that she was old and could not do much, and she felt comfortable to do something for the children.

At around 11:40, when the children in the community came back from school, their parents took them, rode electric bikes or bicycles, and some even drove cars, looking at these fundraising advertisements curiously.

One of the children asked their father naively: "They don't have books to read, so why don't they watch TV? "Pleasant Goat" and "Bears" are so good."

Dad said, "There is no TV in those places."

Child: "Then look at your phone, there are cartoons on your phone."

Dad said again: "There is no cell phone in that place."

Child: "What about computers? Computers can not only watch cartoons, but also play games."

Dad sighed and said, "There is no computer in that place."

The child stopped talking and said for a long time: "Then give them my book, there are also Pleasant Goat, Xiong Da, Xiong Er and Bald Qiang..."

...

Children are innocent, and children are kind.

For them, they are not very aware that there are still places in this world where children have different childhoods like them.

When they were pestering their mother to buy toys in the supermarket,

But those people picked up stones in the valleys and fantasized about them as small cars and motorcycles in their minds.

When they were eating delicious ice cream sweetly at McDonald's,

But those people climbed onto the wild date trees in the mountains and ate the sour and green dates.

When they complain at school that the school canteen has too few dishes and the chicken legs are not plump enough,

But those people gathered in the leaking classroom, eating pickles and black buns that they brought from home in the morning.

The same sky, the same age, but the same childhood.

...

At noon alone, two college students who were squatting in Xingfu Community raised more than 300 books from innocent children, including "Transformers", "Mickey Adventure", "Pippilu and Luxixi", "The True Story of Ah Shuai", "Naughty Bao Ma Xiaotiao", etc.

These are their beloved books, all the books they have read before, and some even have book covers for the books. Now they have donated them all because they want children as old as them to see so many wonderful stories and so many beautiful fairy tales.

...

Old book fundraising activities like Xingfu Community are still being staged in many places in Nandu City. Xingwang Community, Longfan Community, Jindi Community, and many schools entrances, many aisles of family buildings, and many shopping malls.

As a rising star in the cultural world, although Lin Yi has limited appeal, he has also received responses from some celebrities and masters, such as the three masters of Nandu who have a good relationship with him, Yue Han, Jiangdong and Wang Zhen. With their connections and abilities, they helped Lin Yi raise 27,000 books at once, including old books and new books.

This made Lin Yi very grateful to the three of them, and he said frankly that he must come to the door to thank him in person if he has the chance.

In addition to the three masters, what Lin Yi could not imagine was that the Xiong agent, who had always been inconsistent with him, led his mp2 group to help Lin Yi raise about 13,000 old books through free "charity performances" activities. It turned out that all audiences who watched their singing and dancing performances did not need to buy any tickets, but they had to donate at least three books, and after three or four games, they raised so many.

When Broker Xiong and mp2 combined handed these books to Lin Yi in the name of "MP2 combination idol team", Broker Xiong said, Lin Yi, you said we can make a name for ourselves, and we can make gimmicks for being famous, but there is one thing we must make clear, that is, we are not only for the sake of showing off, but also for the children!

After all, the ability to donate books by private and group is still limited. Fortunately, Lin Yi's influence is getting higher and stronger.

Under the influence of Lin Yi, Nandu TV Station, which had established a good cooperative relationship with him, also called on employees of Taiwan to help Lin Yi raise more than 3,000 books. These books were basically donated by TV station employees from their own homes, or from relatives and friends. In addition, the TV station also took out more than 30,000 yuan, purchased seven or eight thousand new books, and donated them to Lin Yi in the name of the TV station. Together, the two were almost 10,000 copies, which made Lin Yi very grateful and felt that there were still many good people in this world.

...

Just as Lin Yi led the entire Nandu into the vigorous "Old Book Fundraising" activity, the newly established HSBC Group also entered the vigorous enterprise reform under the leadership of Haitang.

It’s just a pity that Lin Yi, as the honorary chairman of the new group, was unable to participate in the matter of raising old books because he was busy raising old books. However, from some acquaintances, mainly from colleagues and friends of the original HSBC pawnshop, Lin Yi got the news that this group reform seemed to be very powerful, drastic and overturning. As the new president of the group, Haitang can be said to have great courage. Even Xu Haoming, the boss of Xu, was ashamed of himself and said, “It’s still a girl from Hong Kong who can recite scriptures.”

This made Lin Yi curious, what did Haitang do--?
