I am in of Africa these year, see poor child bends over to go up in car window every time, of longing to us when look around, the sort of helpless yearning eyes, always let person for a long time cannot calm.
Here, can experience a lot of unforgettable stories, information is very much the poor life that place surpriseds, feeling is a lot of.
(the child outside my car window)
Ever had read an article: " I why and vivid " , this is philosopher Baitelan Luo the preface in element autobiography, write him so among them why and vivid:
"3 kinds simple however the life that very intense passion controlled me: The longing to love (Longing For Love) , the hunting to knowledge (Search For Knowledge) , and to human affliction cannot the compassion of check (Pity For The Suffering) "In this paragraph of time that Africa lives, the controlling me mood that the 3rd kind of feeling lasts: To people suffering cannot the compassion of check (Pity For The Suffering) . Yes, such feeling of brandish do not go, all these information, let me even more much adversity of the life misery that sympathizes with here, illness.
We are in the clean employee Maybel when Sierra Leone, she comes forward 20 years old, come from suburb village, parents all dies because of malaria, because the husband does not have money to go out to work, also did not come back again however, leave a child that has 4 years old, everyday she goes to work on time, arduous and serious work, although pay looks not high in us, still calculate in place however can solve dress warmly and ear one's fill. Now and then in the home occupied, we also can overdraw willingly loan.
After a year, namely in 2014, west Africa erupts large-scale dust rich pulls virus, mortality 10 thousand people, countrywide foreigner begins urgent withdraw, commerce is interrupted almost, the president appeals everybody in broadcasting station, meet greet sb those who cancel handclasp is consuetudinary. We also are in the capital " fall into enemy hands " during, of terrified book airline ticket, bale withdrew this country.
(West Africa Aibola erupts, the report of CNN)
During be being written down so that in us excited preparation sets out, she looks at Maybel helplessly we, the mood is low.
"Hey Maybel, feel sorry, we should go, can come back, that you do you have this paragraph of time what plan? " , I ask.
"Thank god of · of your · · to bless, you have a place to withdraw, but I am done not have, it is the home that this is me, without local backtrack, can be here only " , she begins in a low voice, lower her head to sobbing helplessly.
Up to now, very unforgettable this his word.
Africa, to the arrival outside us character, it is the place of short distance berth only, or it is to seek business chance money, or it is to watch on the way primitive scene, satisfy the heart of curious exploration. But can leave sooner or later, return the native land that return to the roots. And to local, it is home town however, although be poverty, corruption, chaos caused by war, disease very various.
They Call It Africa, we Call It Home. (they call here Africa, we call here the home)
Those let us generate the story of the heart of African pity, still have a lot of.
No matter be to be in West Africa or East Africa, every time travel in capital market when going up, total meeting is in during blocking a car up, the child of a flock of dress junk rushs, or it is to help the window that brush a car, or it is to bend over to go up in car window of beg look at us, hope somewhat almsgiving. They mostly many years old of 10 age, smooth crural bifurcation, holding out development undesirable the pregnant that bring about, the hair of dirty chaos is surrounding from time to time a few fly. In brain, such age ought to is worth read write, the good childhood that parents shows loving care for.
(African market, poor and backward)
Still have a thing, let I and colleague sob unceasingly:
Na Sudan, be became independent 2011, everything 100 useless wait for promote, can saying is the country with preexistence the poorest bound. I lived nearly 2 years here, we are driving a few at that time giant project, also had invited official of national government the Ministry of Communication to visit Chinese company, among them because of project reason I and this diplomatic relation connect A of director of ministries and commissions (put home to be main hall class) the relation is close friends, often go to his office discussing project of a few capital construction.
Though the country just held water, but the ability of A is outstanding, seasoned, it is the local that has seen efficiency is quite tall, often mention oneself country, always have deep opinion and ideal, also hope between lieutenancy oneself have retaliation one time, very let us respect. Have had visited his home, but it is shabby poverty very, have 3 sons, raise even outside the courtyard removed gallinaceous duck, manage family financial situation.
The job is brought into play later, I left this country, turn and continue to dog to receiving with him by the colleague project, after a year, agreement of project early days is signed, I also am in the Christmas during, hair short message compliments his progress.
After a year, one day suddenly the colleague tells me, he died. Because before period of time is too busy, changed malaria, because do not have too much money to give or take an injection,see a doctor, feel OK to eat bit of medicine to hold out the past, but thinking of is very serious head impaludism, died after 3 days.
I shocked for a long time at that time. Imagine cadre of class of main hall of a country very hard, can lose life because of poor disease, yes, here, such a lot of stories are happening ceaselessly.
(right 2 for Mr A, I accompany him to visit at that time China, meet)
Without doubt, in Africa, the extensive of commiserative heart has frequency, should compare me to want in any other place countries frequent. We can be used up only oneself can, accomplish the little help that can accomplish.
The clothings that does not need in place, we can be arranged contribute local; Meeting now and then the food that buys oneself, send a few to the child that encounters on the road; Service hind can be offerred in local, thanks to a few fee more with consideration; Company level, the rice of charge of a huge sum can be sponsorred after signing a contract; Meeting assistance offers more obtain employment opportunities; Can much groom in the project · of · of local talent ·
Can't help thinking of story of the picture of that resounding whole world and its backside:
This was 2014 award of general benefit plan obtains · of Kevin of cameraman of winner south Africa to get stuck to film especially " hungry Sudan " , sudan lasts 11 years at that time civil war (1983-2005 year, lasted 22 years actually) .
This work, also be almost each people that had lived in Africa had looked, those who had shaken.
After taking a picture, kevin division grants photograph copyright carry out especially the United States " new York Times " , on March 26, 1993 print is sent. As a result of the visual wallop with tremendous photograph and appeal, caused the whole world intense attention to Sudan big be hard pressed for money, each country government appeals in succession stop Sudan civil war, give humane support. The photograph also wins award of general benefit plan accordingly.
(but also a lot of people evaluate Carter so: "The Man Adjusting His Lens To Take Just The Right Frame Of Her Suffering, might Just As Well Be A Predator, another Vulture On The Scene. " the interpreter comes over that is to say this man can move back and forth only camera lens, achieve astonishing appearance, however ignore deliverance, he is that one condor outside the picture. Be full of praise cannot bear after all with the Carter of bespatter the pressure of public opinion, chose to commit suicide. )
Remember be in 2013, I explore Kenya for the first time, by highway, a flock of children are in looking us up and down curiously, fix eyes on.
And I, astonish to the picture before however: Because the belly of little boy is hidebound bouffant, divulge the move is innocent in the eyes with curiosity, and canthus, unexpectedly the formicate with a few carefree fly is worn · · ·
Finally, I think, the classical song with Micheal Jackson [Heal The World] coda is most appropriate.
Wish African mainland is in these a few years in be being developed flourishingly, no longer famine and chaos caused by war.
After all, they each, it is equality, fresh life.
[Heal The World]
