Chapter 16 Chapter 15: The pain that has to be touched

There are some wounds in life, if you don't touch it, you will never know how much it hurts. My friend has a good habit.Almost every weekend, she would go to the orphanage to visit the orphans there, and bring some small gifts to accompany them.It was also from her that I learned that the children in the orphanage have a knot in their hearts more or less: there are always many people who come to visit them in March every year, but basically they only learn from Lei Feng in March. "We'll be back" when they say "we will come again", however, usually few people come here when they don't have a name.

There was a little boy who liked motorcycles very much.But you know that there is no such means of transportation in the orphanage.And the little boy's family has disappeared for a long time, so it is almost impossible for someone to ride a motorcycle to take him to play. His motorcycle dream is always just a dream.One year in March, a group of people came to the orphanage. One of the elder brothers knew the little boy's wish and enthusiastically promised that he would ride a motorcycle to take him for a ride someday.The little boy was really happy, and he had been looking forward to it seriously since his brother left.But my brother may be very busy, maybe he forgot because of carelessness, and there has never been the exciting sound of a motorcycle at the entrance of the orphanage.The little boy's IQ is a little problematic, but he is very sensible, and only in March every year will he ask the big brother if he will ride a motorcycle this year?

I'm not at all blaming those who didn't go to the orphanage again, and didn't fulfill their promises. In fact, being there is always better than not going, not to mention that when the promise was made, I believe that there must be thousands of tender feelings in everyone's heart.It’s just that later on I may have weighed my abilities and found that I can’t do what I want, or I may have new ties, or my dreams are disturbed by the daily traffic, in short, the tenderness gradually fades away, and the promise gradually cools down.In the final analysis, those pains are not serials at 8 o'clock. They appear regularly every day to make you cry, and they are often in a place that you can't usually meet. Even if you forget it, it won't matter.

It's just that, for kids with motorcycle dreams, doll dreams, or whatever, that's what they look forward to 24/7. In the orphanage, such stories still exist.The children here are more or less flawed.The bond of family affection is sometimes very fragile. When young parents see the child missing fingers, or the cloudiness in the eyes, or the idiot expression, they think of the difficulties and grievances of raising the child in the future. , It is easy to ignore the expectations of pregnancy in October and the emotion that blood is thicker than water, and the problem is thrown out to the society.There are also some well-behaved children whose faces were scalded due to insufficient care from their families, or their brains were burnt because their fevers were not treated in time, and at the same time they lost the right to enjoy the warmth of the family.These innocent children were abandoned at the gate of the orphanage or somewhere else, and started their own lives.Just, what kind of life is this?

So we really wanted to do a program and do something.For the children, but also for myself.When we went, we repeatedly reminded ourselves not to be hot for three minutes.People are often like this, while criticizing something bitterly, while unknowingly falling into the footsteps.We thought about what we should do for a long time. Of course it would be good to give some gifts or accompany them, but who stipulated that the children in the orphanage can only wait for others to love them and care for them in the orphanage?Those children have lost a lot of rights to be loved, don't they even have the chance to love?Helping others is the foundation of happiness. We hope to create an opportunity for children to feel the most essential and rooted happiness, the happiness of being needed and appreciated.

On a sunny spring morning, our great plans were launched.We organized the children who were older and more mobile in the orphanage, and divided them into four groups: some went to sell balloons at the entrance of the park, some went inside the park to take pictures for tourists, one group sold egg tarts at the pastry shop, and the other group went to the downtown area sell flowers.Through the labor within the children's ability, get some income, and then use the money to buy daily necessities for those children who are young or unable to move, and hold parties for them.The children's happiness has also become back and forth!

You should see how happy those kids are at work!They showed great interest and enthusiasm, and they were busy running around.When they had income, the children carefully counted and counted, and were amazed that they could also create wealth through labor; when they bought gifts and went back, their expressions of excitement, anticipation, pride, and air were really touching!Yeah, who doesn't like feeling trusted and needed? Our party was very successful, the children were very happy, and their teachers have always said that they used to think about how to love these children, and try their best to help the society repay everything that is owed to them.But it ignores the emotional needs of children who also want to love others. In fact, no matter how poor a child is, he doesn't want you to look at him with that kind of pitiful eyes.

The kids are very close to us.Although they are not healthy children in the ordinary sense, they are especially kind and sincere without exception.There was a child with poor intelligence who hugged a little girl in our program group with great enthusiasm and shouted "Mom".Maybe that child called everyone he liked "Mom". The little girl burst into tears when she saw this child who was much taller and stronger than herself.The warmest, greatest, and most selfless title in the world hit her heart hard at this moment. That emotion is love. There must be regrets in life, which cannot be changed.We all want to have fewer, fewer regrets in our lives.But if you can't think about hiding it and not looking at it, will there be fewer regrets?Or thinking that the wound is just a dull pain, why bother to uncover the scar and it is dripping with blood?Some wounds must be uncovered, and medicine and love will slowly get better.

Some pain in life, we have to touch it.
