"The sun is constantly rotating and has not changed since ancient times. The infinite feelings of the universe embrace our wishes. "

When the song "Let the world be full of love" echoed in my ears, I was already in tears when I sat in front of the TV. It was the early spring of February 4, 2007, and I watched an evening charity program broadcast live. With the classroom as the background, dozens of children of migrant workers who are facing school are sitting in the classroom, facing the audience and the scene in front of the TV.

When Wang, the host, announced that the evening party was a live program of "Spring Festival 2007, I have a dream" jointly organized by CCTV Economic Channel and China Youth Development Foundation, aiming at helping 20 million children of migrant workers raise educational funds and improve school conditions, the atmosphere was tense and warm.

When Liu Xiang's Nike running shoes with honor and sweat were won by Air China at a high price of 200,000 yuan, the children of migrant workers without shoes had hope. Liu Xiang donated his precious running shoes when he broke the world record with a score of 12.88 seconds at the charity meeting in Putuo District, Shanghai on October 25th, 65438, and then donated his beloved running shoes again, and donated the money to the children of migrant workers who had no chance to go to school and had no shoes to wear.

When the CCTV camera was aimed at Guangzhou, one of the shoemaking bases in China, I saw the Huang brothers who had no shoes to wear. In an urban-rural fringe of the new town in Baiyun District, in a garbage dump, 1 1 year-old migrant worker brother Huang He 12-year-old brother Huang walked barefoot on the garbage dump full of stones, broken glass and scrap iron, looking for iron, copper and mineral water bottles that could be used to sell money to subsidize tuition. Sometimes hidden iron is found in the concrete in the garbage dump, and they have to "pull" the iron out with their hands and feet. The reporter asked them if they had no shoes to wear and their feet were walking on the garbage. Does it hurt? They said they were used to the days without shoes and didn't feel any pain. But I am eager to have a pair of shoes to wear to school so that I won't be laughed at by my classmates.

The wish of the Huang brothers came true at the party, and they got brand-new sports shoes from the organizer. They shed tears happily, and I also shed tears in front of the TV, because I am also doing work related to shoes, but my ability is too small. I can only use a short essay to express my feelings and accompany the donors and recipients with a warm heart.

Such an ordinary lens brings together people who are enthusiastic about public welfare. It's not just a pair of ordinary shoes and a charity act that the children of poor migrant workers can wear to school, but the wealth of a group of people who are enthusiastic about public welfare, but they are doing a real thing to turn this wealth into the children of migrant workers in China.

When the students in the city change their shoes freely during the seasonal changes, have you ever thought that there are so many peers in this city who have no shoes to wear and go to school? With the acceleration of urbanization in China, 1 100 million rural laborers have left their homes to work in cities, and more than 20 million children of migrant workers have gone to cities with their parents and become children of floating population. Funded by UNICEF and the Ministry of Finance, the the State Council Working Committee on Women and Children conducted a survey on the situation of migrant children in China. The survey showed that the dropout rate of migrant children was very high, reaching 9.3%. Nearly half of school-age children can't go to school in time, and the phenomenon of "over-age" is more serious, and the problem of "child labor" is prominent for children who don't go to school. An important reason why migrant children are out of school and unable to enter school in time is family economic poverty.

In this special charity party, the famous actor Pu Cunxin came. Pu Cunxin said: This is the biggest classroom he has ever seen, because it is a classroom of love and soul. He told the children about the experience that Taiwan Province youth Lai was poor when he was a child and grew up to be a beggar, and told the story that people can't be poor. His story inspired and influenced many children and young people. Deng Yaping, a famous athlete, came to play table tennis with a child of migrant workers from Baiyangdian, Hebei. In the laughter, the children felt the story of hard work and persistence in their dreams. Nie Haisheng, the hero astronaut, is here. Nie Haisheng grew up in rural Hubei and suffered a lot. Nie Haisheng told her children a dream come true with her own personal experience. The famous photographer Xie Hailong also came. His photos have changed the lives of many children, including Su Mingjuan, a girl with big eyes.

That night, I sat in front of the TV set and was moved by the eager eyes of enthusiastic people and children on the spot, by the children of migrant workers without shoes, and by the economic, sports and film stars who did not forget their social responsibilities after getting rich.

That day is the beginning of spring. This is the beginning of spring and hope.
