Chapter 736: Knowing and Acting

Thinking and doing are completely two completely different things.

Most things in the world are mostly easy to think about, but hard to do.

Especially for people overflowing with love, it's even harder to get things done well.

Whether a thing succeeds has nothing to do with whether you have love or whether you are just.

It may even add extra difficulty because of these factors.

Hu Lianxi, who is already in his seventies or eighties, was conscripted by Chen Hong and three women to work on some justice cause.

He feels bitter inside; he has never dealt with this sort of thing in his life.

There is no such precedent in this world either.

The vast experience accumulated by Azure Cloud Consulting Company is completely useless.

Moreover, the matter is too difficult, and there is too much room for maneuver within it.

Just thinking about it casually reveals loopholes.

And they are loopholes that cannot be filled.

Speaking of this justice cause, it fundamentally lacks a clear definition.

What is justice? Does it have a clear boundary?

If two people get into a fight and one gets injured, can they just find any excuse, define it as a justice cause, and then make you pay the medical expenses?

This is easy, because it's easy to collude on testimony.

When an elderly family member falls ill and doesn't want to pay medical fees, can you find someone to act? Pretend to help the elderly and be extorted, then claim it's helping others for joy?

Justice cause? Doing this would likely become a breeding ground for evil.

"I don't agree with you doing whatever justice cause insurance."

"Just setting up a charitable fund would be enough."

"Specifically to help those who, because they did good deeds, ended up in family hardship."

"That would be more meaningful."

"As for what justice insurance is,"

"That's just business, and it's easy for people to find loopholes."

"Moreover, if others have taken out insurance, you cannot avoid paying."

"Determining and investigating whether something is just costs far more than paying the relevant personnel."

"Doing this will only enrich detectives and insurance fraudsters."

"It will only encourage others' evil thoughts."

"This is called doing bad things with good intentions."

"Things like morality and justice are caused by a nation's overall factors."

"It requires the effort of every person."

"It cannot be turned around by an individual."

"I dare say, even immortals cannot accomplish such a thing."

"We can only use our own resources to limitedly help good people."

"And we cannot look after everyone."

"Actually, the government also has awards for seeing justice and acting bravely."

"But look, has society changed?"

"No, right?"

"Never think that just by your own strength you can turn around the entire nation's morale."

"This is a matter of the state."

"At most we can only do some auxiliary work."

"So establishing a justice cause charitable fund would be enough."

"We can help randomly and limitedly through news, the police system, and our own information channels."

Three old ladies didn't expect to come eagerly, only to be given a stern rebuke.

The difficulty of this matter is actually this great.

However, they never thought of giving up.

Being too wealthy, feeling anxious with money in hand, they just want to use it to do something meaningful.

Otherwise their lives would be too pale.

It seems they can only use their own little treasury.

"Why should we conduct random, limited help? Shouldn't we be helping wholeheartedly?"

Hu Lianxi, all his life, has daily dealt with consultancy; his understanding of this world is deeper and colder than that of ordinary people.

"Because if not random, people will exploit it; as for being limited, the main role of charity is to comfort hearts and resolve temporary difficulties, not to make people rich or achieve overnight success—becoming rich is something individuals should strive for."

"That is not what a charitable fund should do."

"Just like the Mao Ying and Li Xiaolong Education Fund, which only helps them receive education and never gives them money."

"Life may have obstacles that cannot be crossed; if someone helps you get past that obstacle, it's already a great honor, but if you still want others to solve your living problems, that's greed without limit."

"Charity only resolves predicaments, not life."

Chen Hong and the three also think that they are going to do charity, not poverty relief.

They felt a wave of embarrassment; the three of them really knew nothing, and the grand words they had spoken in front of Yang Qing made them feel embarrassed when they recalled them.

They don't understand, but they can learn; let's take it slow.

They continued to ask for advice.

"Do you have any recommendations?"

Hu Lianxi really does have one; he feels deep sympathy for a group.

Their income is ordinary, they fear no danger, they hold lofty ideals, yet they are struck from all sides.

Even some people think journalism is dead, feeling disheartened.

They are investigative journalists.

The survival environment of this group is extremely harsh; many are retaliated against, losing their lives, and some are even deliberately framed and targeted.

Their numbers are dwindling, even facing the risk of extinction.

(There are many such journalists; they haven't disappeared. When needed, they suddenly appear—for example, going to Myanmar to gather materials…………respect!)

"I actually do have a recommendation here."

"There is such a group, they.........."

Hu Lianxi gave many local examples, letting Chen Hong and the others understand such a special group.

They seem to have heard as well that headline investigative journalists are somewhat better off, but elsewhere the survival situation is very severe.

When they expose the scars, they face targeting from top to bottom, and the pressure they endure is enormously huge.

Those with slightly smaller hearts cannot do this job.

You ask how much they earn—there is none.

Most are just ordinary wages.

On the contrary, many morally corrupt people, wearing their guise, engage in extortion and blackmail.

Those who truly uphold the journalistic duty and faith are few, fewer even than pandas.

The rest have surrendered in a world awash with material desires.

Journalism was never a high-end profession; today, with industrialization booming, everything looks to money rather than conscience.

Thus they appear even more rare.

The three women, after learning of these people's deeds, became more determined in their resolve to establish a justice-cause charitable foundation.

Helping these people lets them share in the honor.

Seeing that they were receptive to advice, Hu Lianxi also breathed a sigh of relief.

These three ancestors, fortunately they are receptive to advice; otherwise, this old bone of his would be laid to rest here, unable to be managed.

The establishment of the foundation surprised some people in Jingcheng.

If it weren't for Qingyun Consulting Company handling the paperwork.

They all felt that someone was up to something, with ulterior motives.

Such matters are highly sensitive; if exploited by those with intent, they can stir up great turmoil.

Like Yingjiang, they like to do this through such packaging, causing harm to others.

"We will strictly supervise this foundation."

"Don't cause trouble; otherwise, not only will your Qingyun Consulting Company bear responsibility, but they may also face severe punishment, up to execution by shooting."
