After the African boy who begged for water was adopted by tourists, what is his life like now?
Most people today live a prosperous and well-off life. They don’t have to worry about food and drink, have stable jobs, and don’t have to worry about how they will spend their future. The only thing I worry about is not the work at hand, but the harsh criticism from my boss. Occasionally, I complain that my life is muddled. Little do they know that everything they own has long been envied by others. These poor people cannot even have a full meal.
Bai Juyi wrote in "The Charcoal Seller": "His face is dusty and smoky, his temples are gray and his fingers are black." This old man is just a member of the poor. China is undoubtedly strong and its people are happy. of. It is a pity that countries outside China are still suffering from the erosion of war. People are struggling to survive in the flames of war. They want peace, but they can only be anxious, not knowing whether a stray bullet will fly next moment.
Many volunteers come here to help poor people, but unfortunately they only make a drop in the bucket. But the photo of an African boy begging for water has become popular on the Internet. He was skinny, greedily drinking the water from the tourists' hands, his eyes full of uneasiness. After that, he was successfully adopted by tourists and brought back to his country. What is his process like now?
Africa is close to the equator. The ultraviolet rays here are strong and the temperature is hot. Most black people live here. It is a pity that on the African continent, in the past it was an object of exploitation, but now it is also a battlefield, without a moment of rest. People here are always uneasy, not knowing whether tomorrow will come, let alone whether they will be able to eat their next meal. Many people may find it difficult to imagine why there is such poverty here. In fact, it's not just war. The environment here is harsh, diseases are rampant, and people have no means of getting rich. Even the water resources they depend on for survival are precious here. There are no expectations for people when they are born, and parents are just worried about how to feed their children.
Along with the backward economy are backward ideas. There are many ancient tribes here, and the people in the tribes still abide by the ancient traditions and follow the customs of the past. There has been a saying about witch boys in Africa since ancient times. These children who are identified as witch boys at birth will bring misfortunes and disasters, so they are rejected by the local people. Even the children's parents cannot raise them and can only abandon them. The unfortunate children stumbled and grew up, and occasionally some barely survived, but their bodies were still emaciated, skinny and hungry, and anxious, worrying about the next meal.
Volunteers come from Africa from time to time to bring aid materials to help people here. So a photographer captured a photo that touched countless people. A local child, whose skinny bones were clearly visible, was greedily drinking water from a volunteer. His eyes were full of fear, worrying whether something would be done to him. The volunteer looked at the little boy drinking water with tears in his eyes. The child was lucky to survive. This volunteer is called Anja, from Denmark. It was just a daily aid activity. She did not expect that she would meet this poor witch boy.
Anja thought for a long time. She thought she should do something to help this poor child, so after making up her mind, she adopted the child and planned to take him back to her country and let him Can live safely. The boy was very happy after learning about Anja's plan. This ignorant child also vaguely knew that his destiny had changed. After that, the little boy returned to Denmark with the volunteers and started a different life. He might have died young, but he survived successfully. The little boy who was once severely malnourished quickly recovered his health under the careful care of volunteers. He also happily grew into a fat little boy whose figure was completely different from his original figure.
Conclusion
It can be seen that feudal superstition is undoubtedly the dregs of society. People in the past only believed in these illusory things because they were stubborn. Nowadays, in the era of science, people's thinking has also undergone great changes. Fan Chengda, a poet of the Song Dynasty, said in "Sending Charcoal in Heavy Snow and Mustard Hiding": "It is not necessary to send charcoal in the snow, but to talk about the scenery requires poetry." I believe that no one will forget this kindness of sending charcoal in the snow. It can be seen that the people's thoughts are inseparable from the development of the country. Only when the country is strong and the people live a prosperous life will they not be so ignorant and believe some ridiculous remarks.
