Chapter 348 A gift for the children. (Please subscribe ~ monthly pass!)
Li Shaojie once said a word when he was creating "Yimeng Mountain".

"To create and perform a work, one must truly participate in, feel and experience."

"If you don't take a walk or take a look, you will never know how to express it."

At this time, it is time to practice this concept.

It is not to say that creating public welfare music for the suffering people must be experienced personally.

But you must see it and feel it up close.

Otherwise, there is often a big gap between reality and conjecture out of thin air.

After getting off the plane, Li Shaojie and his party followed several leaders of the United Nations to the Damascus ZF.

After all, the first thing that needs to be launched is humanitarian relief.

big occasion.

Under the escort of the United Nations blue helmets, nearly [-] truck convoys have already waited in Damascus.

All the trucks are loaded with humanitarian relief supplies.

Tents, medical equipment, food, clothing and daily necessities, health and nutrition supplies, washing supplies, educational supplies, children's entertainment supplies, etc.

They are the core materials for disaster relief.

The situation here has been dire due to harsh winter conditions and a lack of basic aid and services.

Humanitarian relief is not just about giving victims something to eat and sleep on.

In the flames of war, after people have solved their material needs, they often have extremely strong spiritual needs.

Education and entertainment are more important.

Some people may not understand, but it is very simple.

Just have fun.

If there is no laughter to divert attention when there is such sorrow and pain, the problems caused will be even greater.

Li Shaojie was in the motorcade, as if he had passed away.

When I came to Damascus, I didn't think there was any problem.

Although the style of the building is somewhat different, the feeling from the airport in Damascus to the city is not as prosperous as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, like some second- and third-tier cities in China six or seven years ago, but the feeling is not so strong.

It doesn't look like a country burned by war.

When we came to the embassy, ​​handed over, and then actually walked to the disaster area, the tip of the iceberg gradually appeared.

The architecture here is very Arabic.

Damascus was once the most beautiful exotic travel destination.

In the Arab world, there is such a proverb.

"If there is a heaven on earth, Damascus must be in it. If heaven is in the sky, Damascus must be as famous as it."

Once, the Prophet Muhammad refused to enter Damascus after he saw it.

In his view, Damascus is a beautiful paradise that can only be entered once in a lifetime.

Therefore, he chose to enter here after death.

From these fragments, we can fully know how rich and splendid Damascus was once.

However, in Li Shaojie's eyes, the development of Damascus seems to have stagnated in the last century.

Stagnation?In other words, Damascus is very deserted now, and it is almost difficult to meet a few pedestrians. The whole city lacks vitality, and only the convoy with the blue globe logo and the red cross is driving.

The convoy moved on.

Gradually came to the suburbs.

As for the surrounding scenery, I don't know whether it is a slow gradual change or an abrupt change.

The mental shock caused many people to forget some details.

It was a pretty good city just now, but somehow it changed.

The ruins of broken walls and ruins are full of dust, exposed steel bars, broken glass, and black and oily dirt.

Irregular pieces of rubble piled up.

It was desolate.

Swish!
The car stopped.

At this time, Wu Jun, the leader of the United Nations, gathered Li Shaojie and his party together.

The expression is very serious.

"First, I need to clarify a few issues."

Everyone was silent, and no one was in the mood to make jokes. The atmosphere was very heavy.

"First of all, all those who participate in aid activities have their own clear tasks, whether it is medical treatment, education, rescue, security, material, or spiritual work, remember not to overstep it!"

The crowd nodded.

The "Music Rescue Program" is actually just a branch of this humanitarian aid.

The entire humanitarian rescue mission is led by the United Nations, and the mission of UNESCO is the "Music Rescue Program" that involves spiritual assistance and educational assistance.

Not overstepping is for better assistance.

In fact, in disaster relief, the most taboo is the Heart of Mary.

You are obviously in charge of medical treatment, but you want to go to the ruins to dig out the ruins yourself because the heart of the Virgin is overflowing?
This is the Passover.

There is no place where you should be needed, and there is still chaos in places where you are not needed.

This is absolutely impossible.

Li Shaojie and his team have their own tasks. Sometimes, artistic and cultural things can bring better results than transporting a few pieces of gravel.

Apart from sticking to your post, you should do what you can, and you must not delay what you should do for some other reasons.

"Although our name is the United Nations, you must always remember that you are Chinese and represent China's image, and even China's attitude!!"

Wu Jun suddenly became more serious.

"All actions are subject to the arrangements of the local government. Remember to ask for instructions and communicate with you when you do anything. Although you are members of the community, you must remember that assistance must be neutral and impartial. Any assistance must fully respect XL Asia. Sovereignty, respect the dominance of the local government."

Everyone was stunned.

At this time, it was not because of the sudden flood of sympathy that they came to rescue when they said they would come to rescue.

It's not for gold plating.

In this regard, great care must be taken.

Otherwise, are you here to rescue, or to cause trouble?

As a friend participating in the rescue, you must do what a guest should do, instead of gesticulating and dancing in other people's homes.

Rescue is very important, but respecting each other and not offending their dignity is more important in international affairs.

Everyone got serious.

Everyone got out of the car.

A strong smell of gunpowder and burning tar came to the nostrils.

The sound of explosions can even be faintly heard—two kilometers away from the suburbs, there are still small groups of troops who are closing the collection, dealing with explosives, and so on.

Rescue has started quickly.

The engineering team quickly drew out a neutral rescue area, and the blue-helmet soldiers quickly surrounded them, set up their guns, and stood ready.

Prevent the thugs from the YSL country from taking advantage of the chaos to attack.

Set up tents, infrastructure.

On the other hand, the rescue team quickly merged with the rescue team from XL Asia's own country to conduct unified rescue and search of the ruins, and transfer the old, young, women and children hiding in the underground shelter to the United Nations rescue safety zone.

Li Shaojie couldn't help but squeezed Lu Qiuer's hand tightly.

To be honest, I do regret it a bit.

It is true that I would be worried if I brought my wife to such a dangerous place.

Moreover, Li Shaojie is very worried because he has not been able to contact his senior brother until now.

Taking a few deep breaths, Li Shaojie calmed down the chaotic and complicated emotions in his heart.

When you really see the horrors of the war, the impact is unparalleled.

Even though the battlefield here has been treated, it is difficult to see corpses or dangerous guns and ammunition, but you can still vaguely see blood splattered on the walls, and you can smell the smell of gunpowder from the black mud flowing on the ground. .

You can't see the tragedy.

But it was full of tragedy.

There is more than one refugee camp in the suburbs of Damascus.

Among the ruined streets and dilapidated ruins, refugee camps are everywhere, devastated.

Cleaning up the surrounding ruins and building infrastructure, doctors from the Red Cross are also ready for emergency rescue.

Materials were delivered to rescue points one after another.

On Li Shaojie's side, the musicians had nothing to do for the time being, so they also helped carry some supplies.

After working for a period of time, a group of people who were sweating profusely returned to the tent to rest.

Sun Yichen seemed to have been greatly shocked.

Or not only Sun Yichen, but anyone who was shocked was not small.

Live in a peaceful country and enjoy the beauty of music.

I never even thought about what another world would be like.

But today, it's just around the corner.

After receiving such a strong contrast and stimulation, Sun Yichen worked so hard that even he didn't believe it.

"Okay, everyone, take a rest."

As the charity ambassador of UNESCO, Li Shaojie can be regarded as the talker in this small team.

"In two days, there will be musical instruments sent to the refugee camp. Everyone will have to suffer. The infrastructure here is being built very quickly. When the refugees are brought in, it's time for us to play."

"I believe that everyone is very touched, and I wish to do a lot of things, but I still want to say, as Wu Jun leader said, we should do our own things well."

Several musicians looked up.

Suddenly found that there seemed to be light in Li Shaojie's eyes.

It is a kind of kindness and beauty that emerges from nirvana in the fire of evil.

"We are artists, we can't do many things, but we can make beautiful flowers bloom in the abyss of evil, and we can bring the light of hope in the darkness."

"We can't control the war, we can't treat the wounded, and we can't restore the situation. We may not keep the surviving people alive."

Li Shaojie paused.

It was as if a big stone was pressing on everyone's hearts.

Manpower is sometimes poor, which seems to be the most helpless thing in this world.

We all want to do a lot, but we can't do a lot.

"But, at least, we can let those who are still alive live with a smile, instead of living with endless grief, scars, and resentment."

"Yes, at least, these children need us."

Sun Yichen couldn't help blurting out.

When he was a graduate student, Sun Yichen was also curious about and researched on the fringe subjects of music.

Why was ritual and music the most important part in ancient times?
Why did the ancient new dynasty establish, first the imperial court promulgated the ritual and music system?
Because music is an abstract expression of emotion, and it is very guiding and suggestive.

The harmony and orderliness of life, the stability, unity and harmony of the nation, and the education of music all play a vital role.

Good music, good music, and beautiful music can inspire conscience and express beautiful emotions.

Especially China.

Use the most dignified pentatonic scale to explain nature, educate the people, and bring joy to harmony with heaven and earth.

In early childhood education, the influence of music is also very important for character building.

The greatest devastation of war on survivors is psychological.

Due to the level of education, cultural differences, and even conceptual issues, it is costly, inefficient, and very troublesome to invite a psychiatrist for consultation.

The success of the Venezuelan Music Relief Program is inseparable from the intuitive experience of "goodness" and "beauty" brought by music.

This abstract art spans time, space, language, and text.

It expresses the emotions common to all human beings.

In ancient and modern times, many philosophers, musicians, and thinkers are studying the internal cultivation function of music.

Influence on morality and sentiment.

Therefore, Li Shaojie organized this group of musicians who came to help together early on, and exchanged some follow-up ways of assistance.

"We didn't come to take music theory classes, nor did we come to give a charity performance and leave. It is our job to bring hope to children. This is a huge project. The refugee children in XL Asia"

Li Shaojie said a number with difficulty.

"600 million!!"

"Yes, in XL Asia, there are nearly 600 million children in need of assistance. Their families are in difficulty, they lack supplies, and they leave their hometowns. Among them, they have lost their parents, lost their care, and their lives are in unimaginable difficulties."

Li Shaojie didn't continue talking.

What is the concept of 600 million displaced children?
The total population of Shandong Qingdao is only 800 million, and the population of Hunan Changsha is only 700 million.

Among the 600 million tragedies, how many have lost the protection of all relatives?

No one dared to think about it.

"What we have to do is to appease them with music."

After a pause, Li Shaojie continued.

"Then, after the instruments are delivered to the United Nations, let them use the instruments as toys, and we will guide and encourage them to try to play some simple music by themselves."

Gotta find something to do.

Be able to relax, soothe trauma, and cultivate the kindness that children have inherently
Doing so is undoubtedly the best option.

After the explanation, Li Shaojie approached Nabhan, the local official in charge of the rescue plan.

"Mr. Li, we don't have many Damascus roses available."

"Well, if there are as many as possible, I will buy it."

Li Shaojie nodded.

"These are separate from the bailout plan and count as my personal contribution."

"Ok."

Nabhan complied.

Immediately, I smelled it curiously.

"Mr. Li, with all due respect, it is not so easy to buy Damask roses in this period. What do you want these for?"

At first, Nabuhan thought that Li Shaojie was going to give it to his young and beautiful wife.

But this amount is very large, and it is definitely not such a simple thing.

"Because the aroma of Damascus roses is the smell that should be in the air of Damascus."

"Not this stench of gunpowder and blood."

Li Shaojie smiled.

"There should be no gunfire and blood here, but poetry, sunshine, and roses."

Li Shaojie's words made Nabuhan almost shed tears for a moment.

The Damask rose is the symbol of the city.

A very peculiar rose with a sweet and long-lasting aroma that is hard to find anywhere else.

The faint pink gradient color is both beautiful and charming, and even the ingredient that is the source of the unique aroma is called β-damascenone.

Fudge, jam, jelly, sauce seasoning, or soaked in mineral water, olive oil, alcohol, or used as a raw material for perfume, this aroma, for the people of Damascus, is a symbol of the beauty of the past.

"The kids will love it."

Nabhan took a deep breath.

"Then thank you Mr. Li!!"

After finishing speaking, he turned and left. This time, Nabuhan had a kind of motivation from the heart.

He is no longer purely for work.

It is to bring the aroma of Damascus roses to displaced children.

Suddenly, Nabuhan felt that his mission suddenly became so sacred.

Nabhan left to prepare.

The construction of infrastructure is also very fast.

Soon, the refugees who took refuge in the shelter were brought to the refugee camp in the rescue center.

Distribute supplies and arrange shelter.

Old and young women and children have the same characteristics.

His clothes were ragged, blood stains and dust all over his clothes.

Some eyes were empty and numb, some were distraught and wept loudly, and some were angrily but helplessly clutching their hair.

It's like someone who just walked out of hell.

"Senior Brother!!"

Li Shaojie saw a familiar person, lost his voice immediately, and quickly ran into the crowd.

　This plot may lack a lot of pretending to be B links.

　　On the cool side, there will definitely be a slap in the face, but I guess it won't be too radical.

　　However, it still needs to be written.

　　As a person who loves music and studies music, Jianxian personally believes that, in fact, music is needed most here, and this is exactly what music should do.

　　However, I will still try my best to deal with it well, avoid bloody plots, and avoid too depressing links~
