Autumn is the season of harvest. All the previous sowing and cultivation will bear fruit in autumn.

Recently, the China Children and Teenagers' Fund and the Chinese People's Armed Police Force jointly organized 60 Spring Bud girls from Guangxi, Ningxia, Yunnan, Guizhou, Qinghai and Sichuan to come to Beijing to participate in the "Armed Police Spring Bud" social practice activities. In a week, the girls visited the Armed Police State Guest Guard, China Aviation Museum, China Women and Children's Museum, China Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum, Peking University, climbed the Juyongguan Great Wall, enjoyed a concert at the National Grand Theater, listened to a lecture on adolescent health education, spent a fulfilling and unforgettable time, and gained a better self.

Our peaceful life is due to your warmth and dedication

On the afternoon of August 12, when the children visited the State Guest Guard of the Beijing Corps of the People's Armed Police, the team members were performing difficult motorcycle driving maneuvers training. Under the scorching sun, they always maintained an upright military posture.

Motorcycle escort is the highest etiquette for welcoming and seeing off foreign guests in diplomatic activities in various countries around the world. The mission is glorious and the responsibility is heavy. For the honor of the motherland, the team members strive for excellence and pursue perfection, training hard day after day. Their passion and tenderness move everyone.

Under the golden sunshine, 10 girls in Tibetan costumes presented Hada to the most beloved person in their hearts. The white Hada fluttered in the wind, just like their excitement at the moment.

"I have a lot to say, but I don't know what to say. Hada can best express my gratitude," said Wengcuo from Ruoergai County Tibetan Middle School. This trip to Beijing to participate in the event was Wengcuo's first time traveling far away, and her family bought her light-colored Tibetan clothing.

"I never thought that I would come to Beijing and take a plane. It was the help of the armed police brothers and sisters that gave me the opportunity to see the outside world. I am really grateful." Deji from Aba Prefecture National Senior High School said.

These Tibetan girls come from Ruoergai and other pastoral counties in Aba Prefecture, Sichuan, where the vast grasslands are boundless. People who grow up in such a vast world have broad minds and can shoulder a broad future. For several nights, the children gathered together to rehearse the dances "Fu Rui Yuan Yuan" and "Ji Xiang Zhi Yun"... They wanted to dedicate the dances and all the blessings to the people who helped them.

"I don't have any gifts, I just want to give a hug to the armed police brother who helped me." The Zhuang girl who hugged the guard team members is called Meisi, from Rongshui County, Guangxi. Her father died in a car accident, and her mother also suffered sequelae from the car accident. "I know that no matter how many words of gratitude I say, it is not as good as taking practical actions. I will definitely study hard and repay those who care and love me with excellent results." The team leader from Rongshui County Middle School said: "The story of Rongshui County and the 'Armed Police Spring Bud Project' began in the early 1990s. With the help of the armed police force, more and more girls have realized their dreams of studying and changed their destiny with knowledge. In recent years, the local armed police force has cooperated with the Women's Federation to continuously carry out social practice activities and caring actions to guide and inspire the Spring Bud girls to grow and become talents. Our children in remote mountainous areas have more confidence and strength to pursue their dreams."

Xiao Xin from Gengma County No. 1 Middle School in Yunnan said: "My hometown is in a small mountain village. Thank you to the armed police brothers and sisters and caring people from all walks of life for always caring about us. Our peaceful years in the classroom are all due to your selfless dedication."

I also want to be a light, to let more people know the beauty of this world.

In recent years, the China Children and Teenagers' Fund has joined hands with the Armed Police Force to organize outstanding Armed Police Spring Bud girls from Ningxia, Guangxi, Qinghai, Guizhou, Xinjiang, Tibet and other places to carry out the "Armed Police Spring Bud" social practice activities. Through a variety of activities such as entering military camps, campuses, summer (winter) camps, interactive care, etc., the Spring Bud girls continue to receive national defense education, patriotism education, science and technology education, and safety and health education, leading and inspiring the Spring Bud girls to work hard, pursue their dreams, and grow and become talents.

For the children, the "Spring Bud Project of the Armed Police Force" is like a ray of light that they encounter when walking in the dark, illuminating their way forward. From the mountains to the city, the children continue to move towards new goals in life, and also strive to become the light themselves, bringing more courage and strength to more people and letting them feel the beauty of the world.

Xiao Ning's home is in Weining County, Guizhou, which is located in the mountains. In the year of the high school entrance examination, Xiao Ning's father was bedridden for a long time due to a leg injury, and the family relied on the income from her mother's farming to make ends meet. With the help of the "Armed Police Spring Bud Project", Xiao Ning was able to go to school with peace of mind. After graduating from high school, she was admitted to the agronomy major of Guizhou University as she wished. While studying, Xiao Ning studied hard and used her vacation time to participate in public welfare activities such as college students returning to their hometowns for practice to show her love. Xiao Ning said: "I will go all out in college and strive to get my name on the graduate admissions list of China Agricultural University. The 'Armed Police Spring Bud Project' gave me determination and courage. I firmly believe that hard work will make my dreams come true. I will use what I have learned to give back to my hometown and society."

Xiao Rui is from Duoba Senior High School in Xining, Qinghai. Her grandmother and mother are in poor health and need to take medicine for a long time. The family relies on farming to make a living. Xiao Rui received financial assistance when she was in the first year of high school. "The 'Spring Bud Project of the Armed Police Force' is like the transmission of hope and the continuation of love. I believe that with the care and love from all walks of life, more and more girls will bloom their own beauty and pass on this beauty." Xiao Rui hopes to choose clinical medicine as a major in college and delve into telemedicine technology so that patients in remote areas can also enjoy high-quality medical services.

On August 13, Qiaoling, who participated in the event, posted a circle of friends. She captioned the picture with "This leaf fell from a tree in Peking University." Qiaoling is a senior in high school. She won the second prize in the national ocean protection competition and believes that technology can change the lives of more people. Qiaoling said: "The 'Spring Bud Project' has given me more confidence to become a better person. When I was in middle school, I participated in public welfare activities such as visiting the elderly in nursing homes. If I go to college, I will also visit the Spring Bud girls. When I grow up, I will also donate to my hometown and build a beautiful hometown. I look forward to letting more people know the beauty of this world through my own efforts."

Go to places you've never been to and meet a different self

Every place the children visit in Beijing this fall will become a part of their lives in some form.

Ye Sheng from Gengma County No. 1 Middle School in Yunnan said that he had always envied those classmates whose parents took them on trips during the summer vacation. "I was very excited and nervous when I received the news. I have never traveled far, let alone taken a high-speed train or a plane, so I looked up a lot of travel procedures online. I am really excited to be in Beijing. The world is so big and I really want to see more. I will definitely study hard and one day I will be able to leave the countryside."

Xiao Ran, a senior high school student from Weining County, Guizhou Province, said: "Every tree and blade of grass on the Peking University campus exudes fragrance, which inspires me to work harder to pursue my dreams. Once, the burden of family made me feel that the future was so far away. Just when I was about to give up, the 'Spring Bud Project' gave me hope and strength." Xiao Ran has won awards such as "Excellent Host" in activities held by the school. In the future, she wants to apply for the broadcasting and hosting major, and she is eager to stand in the spotlight and shine brightly one day.

Xiao Bo from Pengyang County, Ningxia, is about to study in the teacher training program at Ningxia University. She said that walking on the Peking University campus, the tranquil Weiming Lake, the tall Boya Tower, the verdant ancient trees... form a moving picture. Every scene here reveals a cultural atmosphere, which makes her look forward to her future study. "In the future, I want to study for a master's degree in Beijing, join the ranks of teachers after graduation, and work hard to become a good teacher."

During the event, professors from Capital Medical University gave lectures to the girls on the physical changes and psychological characteristics of adolescent girls, as well as the challenges they face during adolescence. The girls who listened to the adolescent health education lectures said that they would objectively understand and accept themselves in the future.

Go to places you have never been to and get to know a different self. During the activity, the teachers and the children stayed together day and night, which deepened their understanding of them and witnessed their changes and growth.

The teacher leading the Guizhou team said: "Participating in the 'Spring Buds of the Armed Police' social practice activity, the children experienced many firsts. They felt the romance of the blue sky and white clouds up close on an airplane for the first time, felt the charm of a higher education institution at Peking University for the first time, felt the weight of history at the Great Wall for the first time, and listened to the beating of the heart of the motherland at Tiananmen Square for the first time... These experiences have enabled the children to have a deeper understanding of the country's history and culture, past, present and future. For the children and the teachers leading the team, this is not only a study tour that broadens their horizons, but also a life experience. Everyone has gained friendship and growth from it. I hope that the children will bravely explore the unknown world in the future and strive to realize their ideals."

Autumn is a season of harvest and a season of endless longing. Let us look forward to the abundant fruits of autumn after the blooming flowers of spring and the torment of summer.
