The Warmth and Profound Meaning of 'Air School Bus'

2025-02-07   

Recently, a heartwarming news has attracted widespread attention, which is about the changes in the way a group of children go to school in the deep mountains of Yunnan. Nizhuhe Village, Xuanwei City, Yunnan Province, is located at the bottom of a canyon. Once, going to school was a difficult journey for children, climbing cliffs, crossing rapids, and having to tightly adhere to the narrow cliffs to pass through; Nowadays, taking the elevator or cable car, the "air school bus" can directly reach the campus in half an hour. The road to school is not only safer, but also has a sci-fi feeling of "soaring through the clouds and mist", and children's feelings have changed from "quite bitter" to "quite cool". In this delightful story, one can listen to the footsteps of the times, perceive human spirit, and appreciate changes in ideas. This is an unyielding path of struggle. The canyon abyss and steep cliffs are the "roadblocks" for travel and also the "isolation zone" for education. In order to help the children walk out of the mountains, the grandfather's generation hit some stone bumps with their feet and hands; My father's generation built boardwalks like stairs... generation after generation, one stick after another, in order to let knowledge flow in the mountains and block the intergenerational transmission of poverty. Nowadays, this has become another story of 'Foolish Old Man Moves Mountains', continuously building a passage to transport children from the mountains to even farther distances. This is an unlimited path of development. Looking at the sky with a crack, looking at the earth with a plow, isolated from the world for generations, how can we turn the sky into a clear path? The key lies in the transformation of development philosophy. The local development of ecological and cultural tourism projects has led to the emergence of coffee, bars, specialty foods, and other businesses. More than 300 households and 1600 people in the township have enjoyed a "tourist meal" at their doorstep. The combination of agriculture and tourism has revitalized villages and formed a momentum for development. The mountain is still the same, the water is still the same, it was just the "poor mountain and evil water" in the eyes of the past, now it has become "green mountains and clear waters". Beautiful scenery becomes an important development resource. Continuing to run along this road, making agriculture a promising industry, making rural areas a beautiful home for living and working in peace, and making farmers an enviable profession, modern versions of the Fuchun Mountain Residence with unique features are slowly unfolding on the land of China. This is still a different path of modernization. In order to develop, local tourism projects have been introduced as supporting infrastructure, and cliff elevators and cable cars have been built. For the sake of people's livelihood, the scenic area has opened a green channel, providing free priority rides for villagers and students... Moving forward, people's livelihood is warming up. A road to poverty alleviation and prosperity vividly confirms the concept of "ensuring and improving people's livelihood in development". The virtuous circle of economic development and improving people's livelihood has unlimited prospects for Chinese path to modernization. Nizhuhe Village is not an exception, thousands of mountain towns have already been illuminated. Guided by concepts and ideas, supported by policies and resources, the land is no longer barren and can carry the dreams of more people. People rely on manual labor to change their destiny and ride the tide of the times to create happiness. Isn't this a metaphor? Chinese path to modernization is a grand road, which can be easily and far traveled, but it does not mean that there is a flat land, mountains, or rapids. It must have the will and spirit of "opening up on mountains and bridging rivers", and "the more difficult and dangerous the more forward", in order to reach the glorious other shore. (New Society)
