Two and a half years passed hurriedly.
It was so hurry that I want to grab something again.
I want to catch time, a heart stealer,
And let it go slowly.

【My FLFC, my principal】
Unwittingly, FLFC is four years old now. On such a special day, I remember the time I spend with FLFC and I am moved by the full warmth.
I can’t remember how I knew the FLFC and what I can remember is that FLFC is put forward to me by Anan. Under the guide of Anan, FLFC changes into abundant data from four words, a lot of legendary experiences, a number of rivers gathered by love, all of which go through the crowd and straightly into my heart. A man called Deng Fei raises his arms in a call for action and lead the predecessors to create a legend called FLFC. Not until this time was I so close to this legend, so I want to catch it reckless and I did catch it successfully. From the end of 2012 to now, two and half years passed hurriedly. It was so hurry that I want to grab something again. I want to catch time, a heart stealer, and let it go slowly.
I am a connecting volunteer of a FLFC school, Xincun Primary School in Jingdezhen city, Jiangxi province, in which place the principal is Mr. Cheng Fuhua. I had heard that he was a nagging teacher before I met him.
While I knew latter that all the things related to FLFC were finished by the principal before the volunteer connected the school and he attended everything in details. He treated things seriously, like connecting to the headquarters and making the form. After I undertook the connecting task of Xincun Primary School, I was astounded by the earnest of principal Cheng as he taught me what a paragon of teacher should be by setting examples. His jaw is direct expression of his rigorous style. Cheng said that it would not be easy to make mistakes if we asked and confirmed more.
（This is the QQ reply from the principal of Xincun Primary School.）
Principal Cheng is not only the principal of Xincun Primary School, but also my teacher as he taught me to be a dependable person by his actions.
I will remember Mr. Cheng’s voice and expressions, his urges. An expert can do simple things over and over again; a winner can do the repeated things earnestly. I hope that time can go slowly and then I can take more actions to prove myself that I am willing to be a student of principal Cheng all my life and devote myself to being a dependable and serious person.
【My visit, my horizon】
Two years ago, Anan took me to visit Xuwan Primary School. This school was as poor as many mountainous schools and had limited resource and teachers. However, there was one thing which was limitless – the sunny smiles of those children. Each eye of them is full of innocence and their smiles express innocence; there is nothing more beautiful than children’s smiles. They are angels.
Nevertheless, God does not protect angels.
When singing the theme song of FLFC with children, I met a volunteer teacher with graying temples of Xuwan Primary School, while he was still young at his age. I asked him what his teaching task is now and he answered that he needed to teach Math of three grades, meanwhile, he also worked as a Chinese teacher. He told me that his wife also gave lessons to children with him. They put a warm coat on the youth of children by love and insistence. His smile was the most unforgettable warmth in that season.

The teacher said that children’s studying lives in mountainous area were hard. Also the mountainous schools were in poor conditions and teachers were not willing to teach here. I knew that teacher and his wife were in hard condition too, but he did not tell. What he said was that teachers were not willing to come so that he needed to get here. His voice was light but struck on my heart heavily. A faith was come out after the strike on my heart and it guides me to keep going on the way of FLFC. Time is a theft that it steals years. I hope that time can go slowly so that I can see my FLFC and people in FLFC more.
【My partner, my example】
In these two years, though I finished the volunteer work successfully, I feel that it is not good enough. Especially in comparison to my partner. I noticed volunteer student Bian Haofei after he went to the school by bike to find me. From then on, I know more about this boy who is crazy about riding bicycle. This bicycle fanatic with tanned muscle took a summer holiday to ride bicycle from Nanchang, Jiangxi to Beijing and he carried the brochures of FLFC to across more than half
（Volunteer partner Bian Haofei rode bicycle to my school.）
In fact when I write down this title, the first person goes into my mind is Anan, or it is Anan let me to think out this title. She is my partner and also my example. Sister Anan is the pet name we call her and her real name is Xu Guofeng, a reporter of CIDU Evening News and a leader of FLFC in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi. She supports the public welfare of a region by herself, so I think that it is not exaggerative to describe her in this way.
Anan lead many people to devote themselves into the public welfare. She seems like so weak while it is unbelievable that she undertakes so many heavy works on her weak shoulders. In addition to the leader of FLFC in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, Anan is also a leader of several projects like New Clothes for New Year of Tencent Public Welfare and Love wardrobe at the same time. There was a Children’s Day when Anan planned to invite 50 poor children from mountainous area to watch a movie in city for the first time and Jingdezhen became the only city in the country which reserved On My Way for three sessions. In order to collect donation for FLFC, Anan planned to launch the first three – dimensional porcelain deposit doll of FLFC in the country. The first work was sold at a high price for 5000 yuan in the microblog auction and the porcelain dolls became many stars’ favorite presents. She collected 600 thousand yuan of donation and supplies fo FLFC in 2012. As for me, it is difficult to achieve.
we asked and confirmed more.
Anan is an invincible female warrior to contrive, to directe, to get things done and she is always optimistic and confident to everything. She brought me into FLFC and would keep encouraging me and giving me the power to promote on the way of public welfare.
（This is Wu Yongjun, the leader of Jiangxi FLFC）
I must talk about Wu Yongjun, the leader of FLFC in Jiangx area when I talk about the example in the partners. He is the leader of Jiangxi team and I met him twice. I was attracted by him as he looks like Zeng Zhiwei so that I can not forget his curly hair and mandarin which is mixed with Hong Kong,
Actually there is a road that “Suji” has walked for a long time and that is the way of pubic welfare.
Also the road he walks above will gather to this road of welfare eventually. After the Jiangxi FLFC team became stronger gradually, “Suji” guided us to register the Road of Sunshine Public Welfare Development Center and the registration lasted less than one month. However, Suji walked through three years from 2011 to 2014, from FLFC went into Jiangxi to the registration of Road of Sunshine. He walked through dozens of schools, met hundreds of teachers and visited thousands of children who could not have the safe and warm lunch. I appreciate the insistence of Suji and what makes me more appreciate is that his team has strong cohesiveness. It is he that let me and a lot of partners of Jiangxi FLFC gather together and still remember our original goal.
“Suji” often plays jokes on others in our volunteer QQ group. Sometimes he makes fun of others, or is joked by others or plays jokes on him. His jokes are interesting so we are very happy in the QQ group. The Jiangxi FLFC team is a warm team made up of Hai, Shitou, Hanjie and Jingjing who always write courageous words, Mumu who delivers Chayao rice, Haofei with tanned skin and Dexin who plays jokes on Ronger and me. This group of partners and examples let me want to catch the time, make it slower and let happiness more. I hope that I can keep on trying with them and grow up with FLFC.
On the open meal ceremony of Cangxia Primary School, Suji asked me about my feelings of joining FLFC. I answered taht I was content when I saw the children’s smiles when they could eat the hot free lunch. Of course, I will still give the same answer today. Our partners get together from all around the world with the same goal. That is to let children eat the free lunch. I still remember the children’s answers when I asked how they solved the problem of lunch before. Some said they waited their parents to deliver and others said that they ate at home. While more answered that they would not eat. The main reasons for this situation are that their home is far away; the home condition is poor and their parents work outside.
（I played game with children with volunteer Guo Suihai.）
What we can do is very limited, but we can let more children eat hot lunch and grow up healthily if we work hard together. Fortunately, I passed the Jiangxi FLFC, witnessed the changes in this two year and witnessed the growth of Canniuniu. I hope time can go slowly and I can witness more changes and Canniuniu makes friends with more children in the future.
Happy fourth birthday to Canniuniu. I am willing to accompany with you with partners from Jiangxi FLFC and grow up together on the public welfare road with sunshine.
