Fan Lili continued: "When I was in school, I saw a World Bank study that showed that using the World Bank's poverty line as the standard, if the labor force in a family has received less than 6 years of education, the poverty incidence rate will be greater than 16

%.

If the number of years of education is increased by 3 years, the poverty incidence rate will drop to 7%.

If the number of years of education is 9 to 12 years, the poverty rate drops to 2.5%.

If the number of years of education exceeds 12 years, there is almost no poverty.

It can be seen from this that poverty alleviation through education has a basic and fundamental role. It is the key to truly uprooting the roots of poverty and stabilizing China's efforts to get rid of poverty and become rich. It is also an important way to block the intergenerational transmission of poverty genes."

Liu Yan nodded: "After a person has received nine years of compulsory education, if he can receive another three years of high school education, whether it is a vocational high school or an ordinary high school, he can become a very popular labor force in today's society.

With such an academic level, even if you have no intention of continuing your studies, no matter what job you choose, it is enough to help solve your family's poverty problem. If you want to continue your studies, your future development prospects will be better.

Moreover, poverty alleviation through education has a potential and irreversible impact."

"Potential, irreversible effects?"

"There is a saying that to help the poor, we must first help our aspirations..."

“It is said that in alleviating poverty, we must first support our will, and in alleviating poverty we must support our intelligence.”

"Supporting ambition means supporting ideas, concepts, and confidence. Supporting intelligence means supporting knowledge, technology, and methods.

Once they have the desire and will to fight, the poor people who have been raised can be strong enough to move forward."

"However, for some older generation rural people who have rigid thinking and need to think about existence, etc., it is very difficult to transform them intellectually and ideologically."

"So, we focus on poverty alleviation through education on the new generation. If the children of the new generation receive compulsory education that is unified across the country, their concepts will definitely change.

The ultimate goal of poverty alleviation through education is not only to help these children receive education, but also to help them know how to help poor students who also need help.

If each of them volunteers to help a poor child while receiving education, then the power will be great."

"This is a long-term project. It is not enough to rely on our country alone. We must use the power of the people and people's consciousness.

Liu Yan, I understand, you are not only exploring a path of private rural schools, but also a path of poverty alleviation through education with chain effects."

Liu Yan pondered for a moment and then continued: "Although poverty alleviation through education is a slow, arduous, and long-term investment, the impact is endogenous, fundamental, and long-term. It can help more and more children in poor areas master knowledge.

Change your destiny and benefit your family and society.

The country's current financial resources are limited, and we should share the country's worries. This is also the sentiment, responsibility and realm that every YSU student should have."

"I believe that if Secretary Zhou and Secretary Pei know your thoughts, they will fully support you."

"We will tell them about this matter at the appropriate time, but we have to come up with one or two samples first.

Before graduating from college, we will first use Yongfeng County as a pilot. After graduating from college and joining the grassroots level, Haiyang and I will carry out work in this area through two counties. After ten years, we can move to the city and the province, and use this to drive

Other areas of China."

Fan Lili said: "By the time we go back this summer, the new leadership team of the Huaining Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will have been in operation for several months.

I believe that every leader must have something in mind. If this thing is done well, it will be a political achievement for each of them."

Liu Yan continued: "It is not enough for a few of us to do this. We hope that college students from Yongfeng County will return to their hometowns after graduation and jointly help implement education poverty alleviation work in every place."

"

"I have communicated with Xiaohong and Yuanyuan. With the experience of joining the queue in rural areas, it should be the fastest for us to get started and achieve results at the grassroots level."

"However, some of us also need to stay in the municipal government agencies and can better support our work from a policy perspective in terms of education work in the city."

"By the way, I heard that Yuanyuan said that the leadership team of Yongfeng County will also change after the team adjustment in Huaining City. Yue Xiaoming's father may be transferred to another county. Wang Qiang and Liang Ming's fathers are both

It is possible to enter the new leadership team of Yongfeng County."

“The establishment of Yinghe Education Poverty Alleviation Company next year will be the first private enterprise in Huaining City and even Jiangning Province.

The reason why this company is registered in Yongfeng County is because of our connections and resource base in Yongfeng, especially the support given by relevant departments such as industry and commerce, taxation, and education to private enterprises."

"With Wang Qiang and Liang Ming, there should be no problem in coordinating with various relevant departments."

"By building a bamboo factory, I believe in their work ability and energy, and there are so many educated youths who have returned to the county from Yuanping."

"Should we find an opportunity to exchange views with Haiyang, Xiaohong, Yuanyuan and Xiaoming again?"

"I've thought about it and arranged for us to go to a Moscow restaurant next Saturday night. We haven't been there for a long time!"

"That's great! I've been eating canteen food every day for two years, and I really miss the dishes in Moscow restaurants."

"If you don't have any objections, when we return to Huaining this summer, we can go to relevant counties, communes and villages to carry out social practice and research.

In the last summer vacation before graduation, we came up with our respective analysis reports on county, town and town research and social practice, as well as detailed feasibility planning plans.

While submitting it to the Huaining Municipal Party Committee and Government, a copy was also given to Yang Xiaowu’s father and my father.

I hope that when the six of us graduate, we can have them greet the relevant departments and assign us directly to the county and commune levels."

"By the way, we should visit Uncle Liu Jiang and the others before graduation. We had dinner together at Yang Xiaowu's house during the National Day the year before last, and we haven't seen each other since.

Especially since Uncle Liu Jiang works in the Ministry of Agriculture, in the future we will work at the grassroots level in rural areas, and maybe we can get some policies for us," Fan Lili said.

"Yes! There is also Uncle Wang Lifeng who works in the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Education... and the Ministry of Water Resources..." Liu Yan continued.

"There are also Tang Gang and the others from the China Earthquake Administration." Fan Lili said with a bad smile.

"No! Please spare me! Meeting the people from the Earthquake Bureau reminds me of the forecast back then. When I think of that, I have lingering fears and a headache!"

…

The next night, after dinner at home, Qin Lu returned to school with Liu Yan and Fan Lili.

There is an indescribable tranquility in Yenching University at night.

When the moonlight shines on Moming Lake and Boya Tower, the traces of the passage of time suddenly emerge in my heart. The most important thing about studying at Yanda is not knowledge, but thinking and ideas.

At this moment, this century-old famous school is using its own way to say to all the students of Yanda: Be well.
