Don't worry about the future. Be yourself.

○Liu Jingwen, Deputy Secretary General of Zheng Weining Charity Foundation.

Zhu Rui, a former photojournalist and my junior in college, has quit his job to volunteer full-time in Kashgar. Whether it is peers or friends, most of them can not understand, and finally came down to the reason is that he is too caring.

Today I'm eager to help Zhu Rui shed the moral halo around his head, and I'll start with a game often used to train new social workers. The guiding teacher of the game tells each person to take a strip of cloth and blindfold themselves, and then says, "I need an item on your body, which I am already meditating on in my mind, so be brave and bring it to me." The gamers usually pull out everything they have on them, right down to their hearts, and the guidance counselor says it's not what she wants. Invariably, one of them suddenly wakes up and realizes that what the guiding teacher wants is the very cloth that blindfolds the eyes.

Zhu Rui came to Kashgar to bravely remove a piece of cloth from his eyes. As before, he gave up his law degree in college and went into Tibet with a camera to turn mountains, he has the factor of intrusion in his blood. In the media work, he slowly felt tired, took out all the "things" on his body, he even moved to the mountains to live, but could not eliminate this feeling of fatigue, and suddenly one day, he saw his neighbor's "friends with disabilities", saw this group of Canyou to Kashgar to develop their careers, he found the blindfold in front of him. Suddenly, one day, he saw his neighbor's "Canyou" and saw these Canyou going to Kashgar to develop their careers. It's that simple, to be true to yourself. A friend said that my lifelong ambition is to do charity work for a few years and then travel around the world, but not yet. I often tell my friends that it's not yet possible, and it will be even more impossible in the future. We need to be true to ourselves, and if this desire really comes from the heart, don't worry about the future, be yourself.

In Kashgar, Zhu Rui and I drank and talked all night long, and we both agreed that rather than serving the underprivileged, they had given us a whole new life experience and great rewards. Speaking only of the project we designed to combine the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage with the employment of people with disabilities, every time I visited the old artists in the folk fields, saw and heard them singing sad songs and making earthenware with great concentration, I felt like a country bumpkin intruding into a treasure house, and felt that each and every thing was so valuable.

"With great love, do small things", Mother Teresa's words are posted on the wall of the headquarters of the Canyou in Shenzhen, in Kashgar, I have a more multi-faceted understanding of this sentence, the first half of the sentence "with great love The first half of the sentence, "Have a big heart", I think means that one should first of all always be grateful to the people and situations around him or her. The second half of the sentence, on the other hand, points to a sense of reality, that the world is made up of little things, even broken things, and that change starts with little things.

Mr. Cui Weiping said that people talk about the world as if they were talking about something else that has nothing to do with them. But in fact people themselves, happen to be part of the world. Some people ask, "Will the world be better? To make your part of the world better, to be smarter rather than stupid, is a small contribution to the world. Teresa says that the world's biggest problems, besides poverty and hunger, are loneliness and indifference.

It's not hard to reach out one hand and warm the other.
