Chapter 1482 The Moss Is Small, but It Learns to Bloom Like Peony
After they wept…
The moods of these children got a lot better.
Fang Qiu knew that his method had worked, but that was far from enough. He must help the children get rid of the psychological shadow left by the natural disaster this time, bit by bit.
If this shadow was not completely eliminated, it would be with them for the rest of their lives.
Seeing that everyone stopped crying…
Fang Qiu got up. He went to the warehouse where supplies were stored, took out some milk and bread, and distributed them to each child to fill their stomachs.
While the children were eating, Fang Qiu said to them, “Come on, let’s gather together and tell stories about ourselves, okay?”
He called the children over.
Fang Qiu said with a smile, telling the children some interesting things about his childhood to bring up topics.
Then…
Fang Qiu started to call the roll.
And the children told their stories one after another.
In the beginning, every child was just talking about some trivial and interesting things, which would cause bursts of laughter from others, and the child who was telling stories would also laugh happily.
But…
Gradually, the smile on the face of the boy telling the story disappeared.
It was as if he had encountered something terrible and did not want to speak of it
“Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
Fang Qiu looked at the boy who suddenly stopped telling the story, reached out to touch his head, and said, “Speak out all the terrible things to me and other children. We will always be together with you.”
Hearing that…
The boy raised his head and looked around.
Then, he saw that his friends around him were all looking at him and nodding at him in support of his trust.
“Um, I saw a flood.”
The boy began to describe what he had seen in the super typhoon and how his family had disappeared in front of him. His voice became more and more hoarse with every word he said.
And tears poured over his face, falling to the ground.
Fang Qiu sat next to the boy and reached out to put his arm around the boy’s shoulder tightly, trying to give him a sense of security.
As Fang Qiu knew…
For a child who had suffered disasters and lost their family, a sense of security was something luxury to have, and insecurity would accompany him for a lifetime.
The way to change such a situation was to give him enough sense of security at this time, let him feel the warmth of family again, and let him know that many people around him were caring about him and protecting him.
Not only Fang Qiu…
But the other children around also got close to the boy.
They all reached out their hands and hugged together.
Feeling everyone’s caring for him…
The boy immediately looked up. While wiping his tears, he continued to tell everyone the fear in the depth of his heart. In the end, he spoke out all the fear in his heart.
The more he talked, the closer everyone got to him, and the more sense of security he could feel.
Soon…
He finished speaking.
“Alright.”
Fang Qiu patted the boy on the shoulder and said, “Are you still in fear now? If you are, how about telling us about your dream?
“What would you like to be, a policeman, an athlete, or a scientist?”
Only by finding hope in despair could a person be reborn.
Fang Qiu guided these children step by step.
“Um, I like playing soccer.”
The boy wiped the tears from his face and said, “I told my mother that I would become a great soccer player when I grow up, but my mother is gone.”
“Your mother believes that you can do it, right?”
Fang Qiu said with a smile, “We also believe that you will make your dream become true. So, even though your mom is gone, you must work hard to become a great soccer player to live up to the expectations of your mom and us, okay?”
Hearing that…
The boy nodded heavily. The tears on his face dried up, and his repressed emotions were completely released.
“The next one, please.”
Fang Qiu turned to the next child.
In this way…
These children told their stories one after another. After hearing the descriptions of those terrifying scenes, they became more and more united.
Later, even without Fang Qiu guiding them, these children began to comfort each other.
Unknowingly…
The psychological guidance went on smoothly.
Next to him…
The three highly-skilled doctors, who had been paying close attention to this matter, nodded with great relief.
In terms of the treatment of diseases in Chinese Medicine, they were absolutely second to none. However, when it came to psychological guidance, they really had no clue how to do it.
There were medications for mental depression in Chinese Medicine, but they were only auxiliary. Only the psychological guidance had real effects.
At this very moment…
In the eyes of the three highly-skilled doctors, Fang Qiu was even more almighty.
On the other side…
The other young doctors of Chinese Medicine felt that they were not as good as Fang Qiu.
As for the doctors of Western Medicine, everyone was also very surprised. They didn’t expect that Fang Qiu could help the children get rid of their repressed emotions so quickly.
Even so…
There was no doubt.
These doctors all had a smile on their faces. They were very happy to see this scene and were very grateful to Fang Qiu inwardly.
The injured around had also shifted their eyes to Fang Qiu, carefully watching the interaction between Fang Qiu and the children, and listening to every word Fang Qiu said to the children.
They were also hurt.
They needed psychological guidance, too. It was just that they were a little stronger at resisting pressure than children.
When some adults heard the children’s stories, their eyes couldn’t help turning red, and they shed tears with the children.
In the warehouse…
Fang Qiu had not finished his psychological counseling yet.
Singing, facing fear, and expecting for the future were just part of the psychological guidance.
When all the children finished speaking…
Fang Qiu glanced outside the door.
He found that the heavy rain was still falling, and he felt a little depressed.
He had planned to take the children out for a walk to feel the vast land and see the bright sunshine, enabling them to feel the beauty of the world.
Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t good.
So…
They had to stay inside the warehouse.
In that case, Fang Qiu had to guide them in another way.
That was to play a game.
It was a game helping these children trust each other and build a deeper friendship and sense of security for them.
“Alright.”
When the last child finished telling his story, Fang Qiu stood up and said, “Kids, would you like to play a game together?”
“Yes.”
These children all nodded in agreement.
“Would anyone like to play a game with us?”
Fang Qiu asked the adults around.
Soon, a few volunteers joined in.
Under the arrangement of Fang Qiu, several volunteers took the children’s hands and let the children hold each other’s hands. They were divided into several teams and began to play games.
On the way to the game.
Fang Qiu stood in the middle of the children, playing the game with them, and kept reminding them loudly, “Hold your hands tightly and move forward.”
Why did Fang Qiu say that out loud?
This was a power of courage. Fang Qiu wanted the children to remember this sentence firmly so that it would immediately come up in their minds when they encountered difficulties and pain in the future.
When they were in despair, they would remember those who were working as hard as them and those who were supporting him around.
This sentence would bring them hope.
And it would bestow them with new life!
When everyone was having a good time…
Fang Qiu came to the side of the local official and asked him to get some local volunteers. Then he told the volunteers about the current situation of these children in detail.
He also told them how to guide these children.
After all, Fang Qiu would not stay here for long.
He couldn’t stay with these children every day. Moreover, many other people were in need of treatment. Therefore, Fang Qiu had to teach the local volunteers this set of psychological guidance methods, enabling them to keep these children company.
The more people were good to the children, the easier it was for them to recover from their mental trauma.
What made Fang Qiu the happiest was that…
There were many females among the local volunteers.
Without doubt…
Their guidance to these children would be more effective.
They also knew that the super typhoon was a great misfortune for the Phlippeanesian. However, the Phlippeanesian people became more united than ever and got even closer to the world because of the disaster caused by the super typhoon.
This gave the female volunteers hope and a future.
And…
These children were the future!
Soon…
The volunteers began to have fun with these children.
In the crowd of the injured.
Many patients’ eyes turned red when they saw this scene.
Especially when they saw that those depressed children finally began to laugh happily, they couldn’t help but feel a lump in their throats and try hard to hold the pain in their hearts.
Learning from these children, they faced the future with a smile.
In front of the temporary rescue station…
A few people came quietly with cameras, notepaper, and pens in their hands, as well as work passes hanging in front of their chests. They kept staring at Fang Qiu and these children.
No one noticed how long these reporters had been there.
Perhaps…
The whole process of Fang Qiu giving psychological guidance to the children had been recorded.
After that, the reporters came into the temporary rescue station and began to interview and inquire about the situation there.
While asking…
The reporters wrote on notepaper quickly with a pen.
They wanted to record everything they had seen.
And meanwhile…
Fang Qiu didn’t stop.
Fang Qiu got a small blackboard somewhere. Under the gaze of these children…
He wrote a poem on the blackboard.
“Mosses”
In a shade sheltered from the warm spring sun,
Mosses are growing full of vitality.
Their flower buds are as tiny as rice grains,
Still blooming like noble peonies.
Then…
Fang Qiu picked up the small blackboard, read the poem to all the volunteers and children, and explained to the children the meaning of the poem.
He told everyone present that no matter how difficult the situation they were facing, they had to remain in the spirit of persistence, just like the bloom of moss.
In a good timely manner…
The local official interpreted what Fang Qiu said to the children in Tagyalog.
These children didn’t quite understand, but they all remembered this poem.
Over there…
The reporter finished the interview.
He quickly wrote a report and sent it to the headquarters in Manilla.
That night, the news was released!
“Sunshine Always After the Storm.”
The news title used the name of the song that Fang Qiu had taught the children. It talked about the hard work of these Huaxia Chinese Medicine doctors who had not rested for 48 hours. Besides, it revealed the psychological guidance of Fang Qiu to children.
Ultimately, the report expressed gratitude for Huaxia’s assistance to people in Phlippeanes.
