It's hard for me to give them money considering some who appear beggars in day time but dress up and go to fancy restaurants at night; and some who are controlled by some illegal organization and the money they get all goes to the organization. If I help them, I'd be making the problem worse, I'd be doing harm to the society, indirectly. But it's also hard not to give them money, considering there're real beggars who really need help. If I don't help them, who will? And where is my sympathy?
What hurts me the most is not how hard it is to distinguish the real help-seekers from the many false ones, but that some children are forced by adults, sometimes even their parents, to beg. They grow up despised by the world, out of mainstream society. When I see their eyes filled with desperation and impudence instead of purity and innocence, my heart sinks. We don't know how they will face the world when they grow up, how this will shape their characters, and what they may do to the society, to perpetuate this cycle of violence.
Months ago the Fu Jian government has promulgated a new policy to deal with 8 kinds of beggars. An internet survey shows that over 80% of voters reacted positively toward the policy. We know that one single policy cannot solve a problem as complex as this one, but we do look forward to some improvement. I wish all humanity can live like human.
今日乞丐
在城市中,乞丐是我们最熟悉的群体之一。他们伴随着我们的成长,从童年直到现在。在这个过程中,我发现,乞丐和我都在变。
小时候,每当看到路旁的乞丐,通常是老人或残疾人,我会给他们一些零钱,并且高兴地认为我帮了他们。
长大后,我发现身边乞丐的数量有所增加,而且他们种类繁多。他们无所不在,天桥上,大街上,饭馆旁,家门口,城市中处处是他们的身影。比起过去,今天的乞丐似乎更加复杂,使得我在决定帮不帮他们的时候犹豫不决。
想到那些白天装作乞丐行乞,而夜晚换装后跑到宾馆作乐的人;想到那些被不法集团控制,然后把乞讨来的钱上交给集团的人,我真的很难做到给他们钱。可是,想到那些真正需要帮助的乞丐,又很难做?a href=http://www.jsfw8.com/jhfy/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>讲话锼恰H绻话锼牵业耐樾乃赖侥娜チ?
最让我难受的,并不是因为从众多的假乞丐中找出真乞丐是多么的困难,而是那些被成人,甚至被父母教唆,去乞讨的孩子们。他们在歧视中长大,和主流社会脱离。当我看到他们眼睛里本应有的纯真和童稚被绝望和无耻取代时,心里便很难受。我们不知道他们长大后会怎样面对这个世界,他们的性格会被童年的经历塑造成什么样子,以及他们有可能对社会做出怎样的事情---让恶性循环继续?
几个月前,福建省颁布了一项针对八类乞丐的新政策。网上调查显示,超过80%的人对此政策持乐观态度。虽然如此复杂的问题不能通过单单一项政策得以解决,我们还是期待着一些改善。愿所有的人都能像人一样活着。
My Views on Receiving Education
In my early years, I did not see the value of education.
When I was going on thirteen, I started to run my own shop. From then on, I worked hard to become a successful businessman.
One day I realized the importance of the English language in the business world and started taking night classes.
I was able to communicate well with foreign customers after two years of English study. But I started to feel that, in the long run, having a limited knowledge of English was not enough to make my business successful. I knew that only a well- rounded education could guarantee my success in the future.
When I was eighteen, I had to make a decision to continue doing business or go back to school. There was one obstacle keeping me from getting an advanced education. I had only completed elementary school up to that point. I then went back to senior high school after four months of tutoring in different subjects. Being at school for the first time after so many years was somewhat embarrassing because my classmates were at least two or three years younger than I. I concluded that my age did not matter. The important thing was getting into college.
I took the College Entrance Exams. Although my math exam result was only one point below the required score. I never gave up hope. The following year, I took it again and received the highest score in my city. Achieving such an amazing result gave me encouragement and courage necessary to continue my education to the next step.
I am now in my second year of college and know that it is never too late to learn. My passion for studying and improving myself will never come to a halt as long as I continue to live.
“Live and Learn.” is the motto I have adopted. I believe with an education I will succeed. So, if you are wondering whether education is important, don’t hesitate a moment to step up and seize the opportunity.
我对教育的看法
在我小的时候,我不觉得教育有什么价值。在13岁的时候,我开始经营我自己的商店。从那时开始,我为成为一个成功的商人而努力工作。
一天,我意识到了英语对做生意的重要性并且开始上夜校。
在经过两年的英语学习之后,我已经能够很流利的和外国顾客交流。但我逐渐意识到,从长远来看,我现在仅有的英语知识无法使我的生意蓬勃发展。我知道只有渊博的知识是我未来成功的保证。
18岁的时候,我必须在继续从商和重新回学校学习之间做出选择。当时我仅有的小学学历成为我接受高等教育的一大障碍。经过4个月各门功课的恶补,我又回到了高中。多年后再次回到学校,让我有些尴尬。因为我的同班同学至少比我小2至3岁。然而在我看来,年龄不是问题,重要的是能上大学。
我参加了高考。虽然我的数学只比分数线低了一分。但我没有放弃。第二年,我又参加了高考并取得了当地的第一名。得到这样一个令人欣喜的结果,给了我进一步深造的动力和胆量。
现在,我上大学二年级,也知道学无止境。只要我活者,我对学习和自我充实的热情就不会减退。
“活到老,学到老”是我的座右铭。我坚信只有学习才会使我成功。因此,如果你对接受教育的重要性有所怀疑,不要犹豫,勇敢的迈出第一步,这样幸运之神便会光顾你。
