In the past few days, Beijing has welcomed a group of special guests: 40 Tibetan children from the Yushu Prefecture Children's Welfare Institute in Qinghai. They came to Beijing from their hometown at an altitude of 4500,40 meters, like <> seeds sown into a strange and fertile soil.
The children may not be able to describe exactly what kind of nutrients they will absorb from the soil when they come to Beijing, but if you look closer, you will observe some small changes.

On Children's Day, high school student Ao Zenglamao celebrated his 16th birthday in Beijing. The girl has grown to one meter seven, and her inner eyes have thick lower eyelashes, and she often looks smiling.
When asked about her hobbies, she said that she likes to read books, Yu Hua's books, such as "Alive". After getting a little closer, she will tell you that she usually listens to pop music, and there is a very favorite singer idol, and she has only recently heard the new album, although many melodies and lyrics are not well understood, but she just likes it.
These days, she rarely has time to put on headphones because too many novel sounds occupy her ears. She remembered the performance of the national song and dance troupe and the shouts of the new sports game.
As a top student in the eyes of his teachers, he fulfilled a wish in Beijing: to see what a "real university" really looks like. She made a new wish: in addition to everyone's health, safety and happiness, that is, she could be admitted to a good university, "preferably in Wuhan or Sichuan", and become a good judge in the future.

Another precious thing left to her by Beijing is the photos of many plants stored in her mobile phone album. She said that the plants in her hometown grow very slowly, have just recently bloomed, and when she visited the Forbidden City, she took many pictures of willow trees. That was the first time she saw willow trees, and she had only seen them in her sister's photos before, "The trees on my side of the house are all aspens, straight and straight, not like the trees in Beijing, which are curved and gentle and grow."

On the way to visit the Central University for Nationalities, the volunteer accompanying the Minzu University patted a boy on the shoulder and pointed to the side of the road, "This is our teaching building, isn't it so tall?" ”

It was the Science and Engineering Building of Minda, with a total of 15 floors. Students attend classes in the building every day, chatting in the café on the first floor, and dancing and singing in the large rehearsal room on the second basement floor.
The boy turned his head and looked at the roof and stumbled with his mouth open, "Wow". The glass windows between the floors glow in the sunlight, and the boy's eyes are shining. He's called Ah Bin, he's 14 years old, and after you remember his name, he will wave hello to you, and the blue bracelet on his hand will slide down his thin wrist to his forearm. There was a circle of Tibetan characters on the bracelet, but he couldn't tell the meaning of the words.
His favorite place is the New Works Sports Ground, which he has visited twice in the trip. Once came to play an exchange match with the Guoan Junior Team, and the strange children of the two teams saw each other and spilled their sweat on the same greenery.
The second time was to come to the Chinese Super League as a caddie. Before going on stage, he wanted to change into Tibetan clothing, and he carefully tucked the blue bracelet into his sleeve, and Ao Zenglamao, who was standing on the side, said that the Tibetan script was written in the scriptures, to the effect of praying for success and peace.

Sonam Raj, a 12-year-old girl, is tall and can be half a head taller than boys her age with a collapsed braid.
She used to press her index and middle fingers between her lips when she was concentrating, such as when visiting the National Song and Dance Troupe, she looked at the photos of dance performances on the wall for a long time, and almost failed to keep up with her partners. And when she finds that others are watching her, she will tilt her fingers, cover her mouth with her entire palm, and shyly block the small laughter on her face.
She likes bright colors, and the "red" of the Forbidden City is her favorite. She also likes delicate choreography, because in the future she wants to become a dancer, then learn to drive and bring the teachers of the orphanage to her home. The girl has long been in her heart and secretly regarded them as her own parents.

While watching the performance of the National Song and Dance Troupe, Tashi Dunzhu sang "Watch". The lyrics sing, "Grandma will always shake the prayer tube to watch, Abba will always give me a warm smile", Sonam Raj looked at the stage, his eyes reflecting the light of the dance, bright. When she saw the next dance, when the guy on the stage shyly pursued her lover, she covered her mouth shyly.

Anyone who meets Nami Tairen for the first time will be impressed by his tall cheekbones and tall stature. He has the most angular face and the gentlest smile, and will take photos with friends at the gate of the Forbidden City, and will often remind other children to "remember to say thank you".
Before going to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-raising, he held a handful of white rabbit milk candy and gave it to a reporter who had been traveling with him for a day, asking her to keep it and run to the front row of the crowd to eat it. Every time he saw each other again, he would remember to hand him a candy.

When you ask about it, he will scratch his head and sheepishly admit that he has taken candy to many older siblings. After less than a minute, he would come back and ask, "So the reporter brothers and sisters like candy, right?" ”
On the night of watching the Chinese Super League match, every time the score was anxious, everyone around him stared at the field and shouted, and Nami Tse-ren would take out his mobile phone and dial the video call to his roommate at school, "The opportunity is rare, I hope he can see it too." ”

The teacher of Yushu football teenagers is called Dongzhou Wende, 33 years old, an orphan when he was a child, growing up in a welfare dean, and has a similar childhood to his young players.
Children usually call him "daddy", and he often tells them with his own experience that everyone must have dreams and do everything to achieve them. Some of the children who grew up with him in the welfare dean gave up their studies early, but he persevered, "I also want to tell the children to study hard to get themselves out." ”

Leading the team to the new worker, Dongzhou Wende was just as excited and nervous as the children. The exchange match between Ah Bin and Guoan Junior allowed him to see the level gap between the two teams, but "this is a good thing". He remembers Guoan's children commenting that the Yushu teenagers are "very physically strong and able to run on the field", but there is still room for improvement in terms of passing and stopping, perhaps not adapting to the weight difference between turf and football.

Dongzhou Wende said that football in Beijing seems to be different from their side, very light, "kicking and fluttering, it really will float." Before the children's exchange competition, he also opened a few big kicks on the field of the new work, "kicking both the left foot and the right foot, kicking two or three feet".
Regarding the children's dreams, he said that he will definitely support them and do not have to study for exams, "It is also good to play football in the future!" ”

On the evening of June 6, the big screen of Xingong played the theme video of the public welfare activity "Qinghai Yushu Tibetan Youth Beijing Tour". According to the film, the event was hosted by China News Service, the People's Government of Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Qinghai Province, and the Beijing Youth Aid Headquarters, organized by China News Network, and co-organized by China-Singapore Public Welfare.
In the picture, many children talk about what they want to do in the future. Most people's desire keyword is "guardian", girls with firm eyes want to be judges, tall boys want to be soldiers to defend their homes and country.

A 14-year-old girl, Geng Tsozhong, said she wanted to be a police officer.
She has a shy bravery, and when visiting the Central University for Nationalities, she will take the initiative to talk to volunteers. When asked what university she wanted to go to in the future, her eyes lit up and she talked more.
The children are experiencing the university campus up close and personal for the first time. When asked about the impression of the university, some children said "big", while Gao Tsozhong leaned against the wall and smiled shyly that he "wanted to come to Beijing to go to university" and wanted to come to a school like Minzu University. She quietly said she was now 15th in her class. "In the future, I must study hard and get better results."
Asked what she had gained from Beijing, she pursed her lips and smiled, then said, "I met you." As for what she thinks she left behind in Beijing, she hasn't thought about it yet, maybe after climbing the Great Wall.
Other children gave different answers to the same question. The girl who just celebrated her birthday said she wanted to leave a blessing for Beijing, and the boy who made friends at the event said she left her name in Beijing. The little players who ran through the green field said they left the wind in Beijing.
They will not forget Beijing, and Beijing will not forget the wind left by their little wings.
