It’s a mess, it’s hard to sort out…
School events:

It was a rare sun­ny day, and teach­ing went smooth­ly. Since the teach­ers no longer had to shoul­der extra duties (drain­ing water, paving roads, etc.), their spir­its were notice­ably bet­ter. At din­ner, every­one nat­u­ral­ly dis­cussed tomor­row’s class­es, with some teach­ers even prepar­ing late into the night.

2. The sky cleared up, and every­thing seemed fine. The sun shone bright­ly above the school, and the teach­ers and stu­dents smiled more. Sev­er­al more chil­dren attend­ed class than usu­al, and the teach­ing effect was bet­ter than usu­al. The chil­dren’s voic­es were espe­cial­ly loud as they read aloud. In the after­noon, the school was not sup­posed to have for­mal class­es, allow­ing stu­dents to study on their own and bor­row books freely. Today, Ajia and Lin Yiwei took the ini­tia­tive to tell sto­ries to the chil­dren again, and the chil­dren were reluc­tant to leave even when get out of class was over.

3. Teacher Wang Wei from Mianzhu Renai School vis­it­ed the school, bring­ing sev­er­al box­es of min­er­al water and oth­er sup­plies. To cre­ate a pos­i­tive envi­ron­ment for the school, Wang Wei and Ajia vis­it­ed Par­ty Sec­re­tary Zhou of Qunx­in Vil­lage.

4. Three vol­un­teers left in the after­noon: Feng Ning, Zhao Tiezhu, and Li Ran. Qin Ming went to Cheng­du for a brief adjust­ment. That evening, a vol­un­teer from Bei­jing, Chen Chao, joined. He is a well-known musi­cian (the cre­ator of “Sing If You Want”). He will be respon­si­ble for music teach­ing at the school for a peri­od of time.

At noon, all the teach­ers and the three depart­ing vol­un­teers had a farewell din­ner. We added a few extra dish­es to the meal, but no alco­hol was allowed because we had class­es in the after­noon. The farewell din­ner was some­what melan­cholic. These vol­un­teers includ­ed stu­dents from Peking Uni­ver­si­ty and the Chi­na Uni­ver­si­ty of Petro­le­um, as well as high­ly paid pro­fes­sion­als from real estate com­pa­nies. Their will­ing­ness to come to the dis­as­ter area and work for the chil­dren ful­ly embod­ied the spir­it of com­pas­sion.

The star of the day was nat­u­ral­ly the children’s favorite Feng Ning.

6. The Ren’ai School in Qunx­in Vil­lage is get­ting bet­ter day by day. Today, they set up a tent to serve as a ded­i­cat­ed kitchen. Final­ly, the teach­ers don’t have to cook in the rain any­more, and now they have a shel­tered place to eat. It’s clear that the teach­ers are deeply attached to the school. Two more vol­un­teers joined over the week­end. This con­stant influx of new blood will sure­ly make the school even more humane, full of love and com­po­sure.
   
There are joys, sor­rows, dif­fi­cul­ties, sep­a­ra­tions, new friends, old ones, and so many chal­lenges that can­not be changed—for exam­ple, humid­i­ty remains a major prob­lem. But thanks to the ded­i­ca­tion and pure hearts of our vol­un­teers, our actions embody two words: com­pas­sion.
