We’ve heard of donating money for charity and volunteering for charity, but have you ever heard of “selling articles” for charity?

Recently, Yang Xintong, a second-year girl from Shanghai West Junior High School, used a pen from the "post-00s generation" to do charity work.

In just two days, she raised more than 8,000 yuan in "author fees".

The money will accompany her to Guizhou this summer to participate in activities organized by a public welfare organization and help local schools repair school buildings.

What triggered her idea of ??“selling articles for charity”?

What happened during the process?

Yesterday afternoon, reporters came to Yang Xintong's home and met her face to face.

It makes more sense to use your expertise to do charity. She is 1.72 meters tall, has long hair, is carefree, and her eyes are like crescent moons when she smiles. She doesn't talk much... In front of the reporter, such a simple and elegant girl has invented an unconstrained style.

Creativity - A few days ago, she put out an "advertisement" for "paid writing".

The 14-year-old girl wrote: "I will go to Guizhou from July 10 to July 30, 2017... to help local children get a better education... I decided to use my few specialties to make money

Get the money I need." It turns out that Yang Xintong is going to participate in an activity called "Leili Youth Camp" this summer and go to the mountainous areas of Guizhou to help repair local school buildings.

The organizers of the event require that each applicant must use their own efforts to raise at least 5,500 yuan in repair costs before they can make the trip, and they must personally participate in the school's repair work.

And Yang Xintong feels that his specialty is writing.

Yang Xintong wrote in the "advertisement" that he would "accept orders" to write, "Friends who need to write articles, please tell me the requirements for the articles. I believe that through the efforts of my writing, I can win enough donations... I will

Bring your love and go to Guizhou in July." After earning 8,000 yuan in manuscript fees in two or three days, Yang Xintong priced his articles at about 10 yuan each. After the "advertisement" was sent out, Yang Xintong was filled with excitement and nervousness.

"Actually, I was quite worried. What if no one came to buy my articles and the plan couldn't proceed? But my parents always encouraged me, so I just did it with the mentality of giving it a try."

Her parents also forwarded advertisements to her WeChat Moments to support her.

As a result, things went surprisingly smoothly.

Many relatives and friends were very supportive of Xintong's idea and came to "request manuscripts" one after another.

In just two or three days, Yang Xintong received more than 8,000 yuan in manuscript fees. Dozens of people "bought articles" from him in one day. Although she set the price at 10 yuan per article, the "buyers" were willing to pay high prices.

.

"The maximum is 1,000 yuan and the minimum is 20 yuan. I guess everyone knows that I am doing charity and is willing to encourage me." However, she also admitted that because the high school entrance examination was approaching at that time, she actually did not write that many articles accordingly. "Some uncles and aunts

I remitted the money first, and they asked me to write slowly and submit the manuscript when I have time. "My writing is mostly in the "two-dimensional" style. Like many people born in the 90s and 00s now, Yang Xintong likes the "two-dimensional" circle and works in animation.

Wander in the world of , games, novels, and movies.

Yang Xintong told himself that in fact, in the online community he often visited, there was a group of friends who liked the "two-dimensional" style. "In our group, writing articles to make money is not new. Some people like to read novels, so

Pay others to write, and some people think they have literary talent and will accept the order."

However, before doing charity work this time, Yang Xintong had never "sold literature."

The reporter flipped through Yang Xintong's "selling" article this time, and the "two-dimensional" wind was indeed rushing towards him.

One excerpt describes it this way: "Feeling the coolness on the side of my neck, I drifted off to sleep. When I woke up again, it was already night. My fevered head seemed to be more awake, but my throat felt as if it was choked by something.

I coughed twice to ease the feeling. It turned out that this was effective, but bursts of pain also followed..." Yang Xintong's act of selling articles for charity started with only one or two friends around him.

Know.

Her good friend and classmate Ke Yuejia said, "I was touched by her. The idea of ??'selling articles' is very innovative and unique. Her writing style is very unique and very attractive. She also spent a lot of effort on this charity event."

"Yang Xintong's math teacher Shen Yian told reporters that Xintong was an optimistic and cheerful child at school. "He takes the initiative to admit his mistakes and will work hard when he is encouraged. He is very popular in the class."

Teacher Shen said that Xintong was very low-key in her charity work this time. “I also learned that Xintong was doing charity from her classmates who supported her and forwarded it to her circle of friends. She was caring, innovative, and integrated her own expertise to do charity that she liked.

,very good".

When the reporter was interviewing, his parents happened to be out of town. The grandmother who accompanied Yang Xintong at home told the reporter that her granddaughter had received royalties through her own efforts and could help others. She was proud of her. “I am also worried that she might go to Guizhou during the summer vacation.

It’s hard work, but we still support her!” Conversation with Yang Xintong’s parents’ support is the biggest motivation Reporter: How did you first come up with the idea of ??“selling articles for charity”?

Yang Xintong: Some time ago, my father’s friend’s son participated in the Lei Li Youth Camp and raised enough funds through a charity run.

After I learned about this, I found it very interesting, and my parents also tried their best to "encourage" me to participate in this activity.
