As for why the donation from the government of country m is so small? The spokesman is very convincing. The money comes from the taxes paid by citizens of country m. Five hundred thousand yuan m is already the maximum amount of funds that the government can use. If it wants to use it again
More, unless approved by Congress
A very clever counterattack tactic! A very high-sounding reason!
Indeed, judging from the video and picture reports, these children from Africa are really too thin to look like. The news reports of the visiting delegation can move many people before, but these seemingly malnourished teenagers have indeed moved people's sympathy.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' speech immediately drew people's attention to whether these African children should be allowed to participate in the competition. Some child protection organizations that reacted quickly joined in and began to question the qualifications of these teenagers.
, and whether it is appropriate to let these barefoot teenagers compete.
The society was immediately attracted by the speaker's views, and then naturally divided into two groups. Those who held the same view as the speaker believed that Montaya's young athletes should not compete and had watched Montaya's teenagers run.
, used his own personal experience to explain that these barefoot teenagers ran like the wind, and there was no reason not to let them participate in the competition. "This is not the best thing about the country!" Zhou Jiping complained helplessly, but he was helpless that things had developed to this point.
, has gone beyond his control, and the rest can only be fought for by others.
In the past few days, waves of journalists have crossed the threshold, overwhelming the staff of the visiting delegation. The government reception party of country M, who was secretly arranged by the visiting delegation, appeared to be very cooperative and had made arrangements several times in a row.
During interviews and press conferences, some private charities also found the visiting delegation’s location and donated money and materials. Now the donations raised by the visiting delegation are rising directly, and are already close to 150,000 yuan.
After Kiriuchi and several other young long-distance runners made a solemn statement on TV, repeatedly stating that they wanted to do something for their country through long-distance running, the voices of doubt gradually became weaker. Then, the Los Angeles Marathon came under tremendous pressure.
The organizing committee also made concessions and changed the events for Kiriuchi and other six young long-distance runners to a ten-kilometer race mainly participated by young runners and amateur runners.
When the news came back, the visiting delegation agreed to the organizing committee's opinion without much consideration. After all, there are many strong competitors in the Los Angeles Marathon. Kiruchi and others are just a group of young long-distance runners with some talent, whether it is Nwali or Zhou Jipingmeng.
Barton, no one thinks that these teenagers have the ability to run well in the 42 kilometers and 195 meters. The main purpose of letting Kiriuchi and others participate in this competition is to raise funds. Now that the purpose has been achieved
, then of course there is no need to insist on participating in such fiercely competitive events. Moreover, if Kiriuchi and others are asked to run a ten-kilometer race, Nwali is almost certain that these six teenagers can achieve good results.
The day of competition has finally arrived
When the six young long-distance runners including Kiruchi, Bolloré and Itumba stood barefoot on the starting line, their twelve bare feet attracted the attention of almost all cameras and people, even the marathon that had started earlier.
Even those award-winning long-distance runners did not enjoy this kind of treatment.
Although some charities and kind-hearted people donated a total of no less than 300 pairs of shoes to Kiruchi and others before the competition, these teenagers with nearly one centimeter thick calluses on the soles of their feet cannot yet adapt to wearing those shoes.
So they had no choice but to continue competing barefoot, which became a feature of this competition.
"Look at these children whose average age is less than fifteen years old. They already know how to use their own efforts to raise disaster relief funds and materials for their motherland. How touching this is. But look at the children in our country. They are
What are you doing? Smoking? Fighting? Falling in love with classmates? Or playing games? Should we discover something from this?" A critic talked to the camera in front of the live broadcast of the game.
As soon as the starting gun was fired, six extremely thin-looking long-distance runners mixed with a group of strong white teenagers and rushed out.
After several months of adjustment, Kiriuchi's psychological problems have been resolved. Now Kiriuchi has a new goal. He wants to run for his country and his own destiny. He feels that only in this way can he comfort his mother and family.
The spirits of the dead brothers and sisters in heaven
Compared with other contestants who have undergone professional long-distance running training, Kiriuchi and others have both advantages and disadvantages. Although these children have some advantages in cardiopulmonary function, physical fitness, will quality, and body shape, in terms of technical movements,
In terms of game experience and understanding of tactical layout, they all have some obvious disadvantages. Therefore, in the first half of the game, the performance of the six barefoot teenagers was not eye-catching.
However, a long-distance running competition is a long-distance running competition after all. The key is to see the endurance and speed of the contestants. When the competition was six kilometers, Kiriuchi and a young man named Itumba from the Imara grassland stood out.
Their strength was obviously much higher than that of the others. When others were already running with grinning faces, the two of them were running more and more easily and calmly. By the time they approached the end of the race in the stadium, they were already ahead of the first place finisher.
One of the three white runners in the 500 meters
It's a pity that everything in the world does not go smoothly. Kiruchi and Itumba rushed into the stadium together. They didn't know what happened. Maybe they misunderstood the gesture of the staff who was guiding the direction, or maybe the gesture of the staff was not right.
Clearly, anyway, the two of them turned left when they should have turned right. It was not until the two of them ran more than 200 meters that they realized the mistake under the continuous prompts of the staff. Wait for the two of them to return before running, and follow closely behind.
The white contestant who was following the two of them had already run ahead of the two of them. Although the two of them tried their best to catch up at the last moment, they could only accept the fate of second and third place.
As soon as they crossed the finish line, the disappointed Kiruchi and Itumba cried. When the reporter interviewed them, their answers surprised everyone: they were not crying because of their failure, nor were they crying because they lost a good ranking.
They lost the first place because of their own mistakes, and they could not cry for Montaya to get back the 8,000 m yuan bonus for first place, because they knew that this 8,000 m yuan bonus could save many people. Hearing this,
The audience in the stadium was in mourning
However, the two sensible children did not feel sad for long. After the award ceremony, the high school student from Country M who won the first place due to Kiriuchi and Itumba's mistakes generously donated the 8,000 M yuan prize money he had received.
This move once again infected the people at the scene
"What makes us very happy is that there are such caring children among the teenagers in our country. This makes us feel very relieved..." the critic said
The barefoot boys of Montaya performed extremely well, and all six contestants ranked within the top fifteen. They used their actions to illustrate that the people of Montaya, a country that has just experienced war, are so talented in sports.
Compared with these barefoot boys in Montaya, the Los Angeles Marathon, which should be the protagonist, is not so eye-catching.
When the Montaya boys returned to the hotel, a large number of news media and charity organizations were already waiting there.
It should be said that the most touching thing was the kind-hearted mothers of Country M. When they saw the young boy Montaya running barefoot on the street, the kind motherhood in their hearts was completely inspired and they came here one after another.
The hotel where the visiting group stayed had donated their own money to the visiting group. Some caring mothers also forced Kiriuchi and others into chairs, and put a pair of strange-looking movements on their thin bare feet.
Some mothers have even considered adopting these teenagers, but in front of these stubborn children who believe that they have grown up and should contribute to their country, their adoption ideas cannot be realized at all.
With the outstanding performance of Kiriuchi and other teenagers at the Los Angeles Marathon, coupled with the news media's fueling, the Montaya delegation, which was already full of news points, attracted more attention. Whether it was natural disasters, the just-ended war, Kiri
The life experience of the young man, the legendary personal experiences of Mountbatten and Zhou Jiping... any one of them can occupy the prime time broadcast of any TV station in this country. This attention-grabbing effect is obvious, just two
In just one day, the visiting delegation received more than 15 million yuan in donations from all walks of life.
What most admired the people of Country M was the national temperament displayed by Montaya's delegation. No matter what the occasion, the members of Montaya's delegation appeared neither humble nor arrogant. They never showed a pitiful look like a disaster-stricken country begging for help.
On the contrary, from them, people can see the spirit of a striving nation striving to save and strengthen itself.
Teenagers such as Kiruchi rejected the kind invitations from some sports clubs to stay in country m to train and live. Several Montaya basketball players who seemed to have great potential and outstanding jumping ability also rejected some agency companies.
They all said that they would only compete for the motherland and would not leave their hometown for personal gain.
Not only that, the Montaya delegation also publicized the donations received and invited international charity organizations in Montaya to supervise the use of these donations to prevent corruption.
It seems that the visiting delegation's entire fundraising operation first declined and then increased, and the final effect was quite satisfactory. But who could know that in an unforeseeable direction, a greater crisis is heading towards Monta, who has just gained peace.
Asia is approaching
After staying in country M for a week, the Montaya delegation left with the deep affection of the people of country M. They will rush to the second stop of their overseas trip - France
During this trip to Country M, the Montaya delegation gained a lot. Not only did they raise more than 20 million in donations, but they also signed sports cooperation agreements with several brokerage companies in Country M. What is even more gratifying is that a tall man
At 2.15 meters tall, the basketball player named Muttom was spotted by an agency and will enter the top basketball league in country M next year. His single single move alone has created more than 2 million for Montaya.
m yuan benefit
The trip of Montaya's delegation to Country M is of historic significance. It was after this visit that was later called "barefoot diplomacy" that Montaya gained more development opportunities from Country M, and this time
Diplomacy is also considered internationally as a diplomatic event as famous as "ping pong diplomacy". Of course, this is a story later.
