Liu Zongyong's Love Alliance: Public Welfare for All

"Society and Public Welfare" published a report called "Internet Public Welfare Monster Liu Zongyong", which tells the story of Liu Zongyong's tortuous experience from a poor child in a mountainous area to a professional writer and then to a professional public welfare person. Liu Zongyong, a network commonweal freak/Special correspondent Tong Tu/Love Alliance Network 201KLOC-0/65438+1October 6, the couple who went into the mountainous area of Guizhou to help poor students were stunned by the scene before them. They never imagined that a person who called on hundreds of people to do charity online still lived in a wooden house surrounded by earth walls and had a five-and-a-half-year-old left-behind daughter. Similarly, many people lament that a post-80s "drifting north" can persist in public welfare for several years. He paid not only for his family, but also for his youth, career and happiness. This 80-year-old who gave up everything and devoted himself to public welfare is Liu Zongyong, the founder of Love Alliance Network. His behavior is a bit strange. "Going into the mountains to see children" has become a public welfare brand. Many people think that if you have spare money and time to do public welfare, you can do better. But Liu Zongyong doesn't think so. He regards public welfare as a social responsibility, and thinks that everyone should fulfill such obligations, such as picking up a cigarette butt on the road and throwing it into the trash can, walking the zebra crossing without running a red light, respecting the old and loving the young, and so on. Among the public welfare activities initiated by him, the most noteworthy one is an online student assistance activity called "Going into the mountains to see children". In 2008, Liu Zongyong suddenly resigned as the editor-in-chief of the propaganda department of a big company in Beijing and began to write a blog online. This move puzzled his family, and his friends also thought that he was addicted to the internet and began to do nothing. Soon after, the blog recommended an article urging netizens to go to the mountains to see their children. Many netizens joined the aid group and wanted to help children in mountainous areas. At the same time, Liu Zongyong's blog also published the list of poor students in Guizhou Rongjiang Ethnic Middle School 10. After two months of preparation,1October 6, 165438, Liu Zongyong led five netizens to Rongjiang and entered Rongjiang National Middle School. Just as everyone was about to leave Rongjiang, someone found a tearful girl in the camera while looking at the photos, and this girl was not on the list of 10 poor students who had been given assistance in advance, so Liu Zongyong proposed to look for this girl privately. Netizens bought shoes and stationery and began to look for this tearful student in Rongjiang county and campus. "Her name is Wang Jinmei, and she studies alone in the weather tower." Finally, a student in the dormitory on the second floor recognized the student in the photo. When netizens followed the students to look for Wang Jinmei, Wang Jinmei had come back with a book. The familiar face is a tearful face on the screen. Every netizen who participated in the activity breathed a sigh of relief and asked around Wang Jinmei. Netizen Li Jiang took out her new sneakers and put them on Wang Jinmei, holding her hand to the playground. It turns out that Wang Jinmei's home is in Shuiwei Township. Because of poverty, her sister went out to work before finishing junior high school. It takes her more than an hour to go to school in the county, and then she goes home by car only once or twice a semester. Seeing that her classmates got help, she couldn't help crying because of her poor family. Listening to these words, netizens have already burst into tears. With the success of the first online student aid, Liu Zongyong began to write some articles promoting public welfare and published them on his blog, advocating netizens to participate in public welfare. His blog popularity rose from several million to tens of millions, and the click rate of a single article exceeded 2 million. Netizens personally went up the mountain and believed the information released by Liu Zongyong. From the first QQ group, there are 10 groups and 100 groups. 20 10/0,65438+1 0,1,Liu Zongyong once again led netizens into Dashan, Guizhou, and entered his alma mater Longxi Middle School, successfully helping nearly 100 poor students, including nearly 50 students who graduated from one-on-one universities. This online student aid activity brought together netizens from all over the country and some volunteers from Guizhou universities. In addition to playing the game of unity and forge ahead with the children at the event site, netizens also walked into the students' homes. On March 20 10, primary and secondary schools in Shi Mao Township, Tongzi County, Guizhou Province turned to Love Alliance Network for help, and published a list of nearly 40 poor students, which attracted the attention of caring netizens and all walks of life. Some foreign Chinese also extended a helping hand. In two months, nearly 10 poor students received financial aid. On June 20 10, Qinggangpo Middle School in Sinan County, Guizhou Province turned to Love Alliance Network for help. Liu Zongyong and volunteers went to Sinan to investigate the poor students, and began to launch student assistance activities that month. In just one month, nearly 20 poor students paired up to help one-on-one. 20 10 September, Tianxiang Long Ta Primary School in Zhenfeng County, Guizhou Province turned to Love Alliance Network for help, hoping to establish a library for the school through Love Alliance. Within half a month after the information released by Love Alliance Network, a volunteer named Wang Man from Changsha entered Xilong Primary School in Changsha, mobilized teachers and students to donate 2,000 extra-curricular books, and established a love bookstore for Long Ta Primary School in Guizhou. 20 10 On June 5438+00, the Youth League Committee of yuqing county, Guizhou Province turned to Love Alliance Network for help, hoping to help a group of students with excellent grades in single-parent families whose parents died. Liu Zongyong took netizens into the mountains again. After many investigations, he initiated assistance to 42 poor students in Qing Yu, and in just one month, he matched nearly 40 students. 2010110/0 In October, the League branch of Baixing Town, Nayong County, Guizhou Province turned to the Love Alliance for help and provided a poor school and 50 poor students. So, Liu Zongyong took netizens and walked into the mountains of Nayong. Groups of poor students, one call for help, one post for help, made Liu Zongyong more busy. He extended "going into the mountains to see children" to every corner of the network, hoping that everyone who has the ability can stand up and help those children who can't afford to go to school. His public welfare is very low-key, and many people will ask, why didn't Liu Zongyong do so much for Guizhou's mountainous areas, but did trivial things, and the whole city is talking about it? It's not that there is no report, but every time a reporter interviews Liu Zongyong, he will say, "Write more about those who are caring, so as to drive more people." On September 2 1, 2065438, CCTV Moral Watch reported Xiao Hongchun, a leukemia girl in Liupanshui, Guizhou. Prior to this, the story of Xiao Hongchun was reported in the Encyclopedia of CCTV and Life of gztv. This 8-year-old girl has aroused social concern and assistance. However, Xiao Hongchun fell ill again after coming home from the hospital in Shanghai, and had to ask the society for help again. In April, after listening to netizens talking about Xiao, Liu Zongyong began to look for Xiao. He called the "Life" column many times and never found a small contact information. Later, he found Yang Fuquan, the reporter of Guizhou Business Daily, who was the first to report the story. Only then did he know the news of Xiao Chun Jr. In June, Liu Zongyong took netizens into Liupanshui and brought Xiao Hongchun to Beijing for treatment. Today, Xiao Hongchun has gone home and her blood routine is basically normal. Liu Zongyong's name was not mentioned in six reports of Guizhou Business Daily and feature films of CCTV. As such a focus, how can the media not report it? However, Liu Zongyong repeatedly asked: "I am just a public welfare person, and it is my duty to do these things. If you want to report, you must report those who really care, so it makes sense. " On June 5438+065438+ 10, 2009, a 10,000-word post appeared on Love Alliance. A leukemia boy named Ding asked for help. Six-year-old Ding was born in kangbao county, Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, and suffered from a "strange disease" since childhood. Ding's father, Ding Shuanyou, took his children to Hohhot Affiliated Medical University Hospital, Beijing Children's Hospital and other hospitals for treatment, and was finally driven out of the hospital because he had no money. Watching the children disappear day by day, Ding Shuanyou started posting on the Internet with the help of his friends. Ding Shuanyou is a farmer. My father suffers from asthma, my mother suffers from cerebral thrombosis, and my brother is deaf and dumb. The burden of family is on his shoulders. Besides, Ding was ill and his wife finally ran away from home. He tried to jump off a building with his child in his arms several times, but he was persuaded by his friends. After contacting Ding Shuanyou, Liu Zongyong took Ding to Beijing and contacted some caring people to help Ding. During the two months when Ding came to Beijing for treatment, Liu Zongyong accompanied Ding every day. On New Year's Day, Liu Zongyong invited several volunteers to celebrate the New Year with Ding. 201010/On October 20th, CCTV's "Moral Observation" program broadcast "The Story of Little Le Jia". People only saw the happy Ding and his mother, but they didn't know how touching the story was. Not only that, Liu Zongyong also suggested that the heads of some branches of Love Alliance Network should not be interviewed by the media, but should report more netizens who really give love, so as to have cohesion. Volunteers objected to his idea and thought that people like him should publicize it and let more people pay attention to it. He said: "My blog is read by so many people every day, and people pay attention to it. Let's do something down to earth. " Behind love, there is also a person who can persist for several years without spending a penny, and can also help a large number of people's confusion and ridicule. This seems to be a legend. But in Liu Zongyong's body, he verified the power of public welfare and love, but behind love, there are also confusion and ridicule. 1998, Liu Zongyong, who graduated from junior high school, went to Shandong Qilu Music School. Because he didn't pay the tuition fee of 7000 yuan, he was assigned to the hope class. After his father signed the IOU, he never paid the tuition again. At the urging of the school, Liu Zongyong borrowed 1 0,000 yuan from his classmates through the class teacher, but he didn't send any money at home, which worried the class teacher and classmates. Finally, Liu Zongyong proposed to go home and have a look. The head teacher agreed at first, but later he became suspicious. That snowy winter, Liu Zongyong knelt in the snow for more than half an hour, begging the class teacher to let him go home. Instead of letting him go home, the class teacher led him into the guidance office and put on record, thinking that he was a liar. Self-esteem was hit, and after his family sent money back to his classmates, Liu Zongyong resolutely left school and began to work. Through continuous hard study, in 2005, Liu Zongyong published his first novel "City Passers-by" on Yunnan TV Station, and then published an article in Wenzhou Daily, which was well received by local writers. In 2008, he won the first prize of "New Wenzhou People" and was invited by the Federation of Literary and Art Circles to attend Wenzhou Literature Week as a representative of "New Wenzhou People". Subsequently, he was admitted as a member of Guizhou Writers Association. His novels were welcomed by nearly one million people on the Internet, and mobile e-books on mobile phones also had a good prospect. He gave up everything just when everyone thought he would make a difference in literature. Liu Zongyong, who wrote seven or eight novels, gave up his career, lost his family and began to do public welfare. This makes many people wonder why a good young man is so hard, why he doesn't work hard to support his family, and some even think that he is using love hype. Public welfare is naturally a good thing, but it is difficult to maintain public welfare. The cost of activities and ordinary life has become a problem. At first, Liu Zongyong borrowed money from his eldest brother. Later, his eldest brother said, "You'd better find something to do. I will try my best to help you. " Friends also advised Liu Zongyong not to be stubborn. In modern society, how can public welfare be regarded as a profession? If you don't take care of yourself at home, what can you do to help others? However, the more difficult it is, the more it inspires Liu Zongyong's confidence. He finally established the Love Alliance website by writing soft advertisements or borrowing from friends. Seeing his persistence, some people extended a helping hand. In Liu Zongyong's notebook, it is clearly recorded: "Liu Zongqiang's 3000 yuan, Litang Wang's 1000 yuan, Liu Jie's 1000 yuan, Tianya's 1000 yuan, 500 yuan, 500 yuan, Chen Jing and Liu Jiming's 6000 yuan ..." 45-year-old Hunan netizen Zhou. She happened to see the aid activity of Love Alliance Network, so she signed up online. Many friends advised her to be careful of being cheated, but when she went to the mountainous area of Guizhou and saw the poor child, she completely believed it. However, what moved her even more was that Liu Zongyong, who organized activities, had a very ordinary family. She knitted a sweater for Liu Zongyong's daughter and gave pocket money to the two old people. Some netizens know that Liu Zongyong was originally a charity from scratch, and they were all moved by his spirit. Although Liu Zongyong's public welfare thought has influenced thousands of netizens, the fact that he made his daughter a left-behind child is not recognized by many people. In Liu Zongyong's blog, netizens who commented and left messages questioned how such a person can love society even if he can't take care of his own daughter. Since Liu Zongyong started to do public welfare in 2008, he sent his daughter back to his hometown to be raised by his parents because he couldn't take care of it, and his wife parted ways with him because of his thoughts. He began to travel from one place to another, and he would do his best to help. But for three years, he didn't send money to his daughter. As for why he didn't fulfill his father's responsibility, Liu Zongyong once wrote in his blog: "I really want to send you to school and pick you up from school every day, so you fall asleep on my back and go home." I'll wash clothes and cook for you and watch you write. I am also asking myself, when can this happen? The year before last, last year, this year. It is estimated that there will be no time next year. What am I busy with? You will understand when you grow up. " Liu Zongyong told netizens who care about himself that he will not shirk his responsibility to his family, and will not let his daughter lose her complete fatherly love. He will care about his children as much as others. Postscript: Love Alliance Network has become a large-scale public welfare platform, which not only plays the role of calling for online public welfare, but also takes the lead in carrying out activities to explain the importance of public welfare to the society with actions of helping students, helping the sick and respecting the elderly and caring for the young. Liu Zongyong began to do public welfare from a blog, from a post with no click-through rate to a million click-through rate, from a QQ group to more than 200 QQ groups, and from a person to a netizen. He devoted himself to his family, youth, children and career. He regards helping others as a profession and public welfare as a social responsibility. He is not so much the most common public welfare person after 80s as the most worthy public welfare advocate after 80s. (Editor in Charge/Zhang Xian)
