Chapter 1158 Only 3 people...
A new week begins, and the busy life starts again.
After finishing her classes all day, Su Xing went to her studio in the evening.
She was busy for a while when she received a message from Ye Xitang.
Ye Xitang: "Is my sister-in-law home?"
Su Xing snapped out of her work mode and picked up her phone to reply to Ye Xitang's message.
Can't I stay asleep? "Yes, what's wrong?"
Ye Xitang: "I've finished composing the music for 'Fried Rice with Egg,' and I'd like you and Xinglan to hear it. Are you free now?"
Can I Not Wake Up?: "Of course I'm free! Great! I can finally hear this song! I'm so excited!"
Ye Xitang immediately sent a video call to Su Xing and Ye Xinglan.
Both of them quickly accepted.
Ye Xitang smiled brightly at Su Xing and He Xinglan on her phone.
"I'll play and sing for you now."
Su Xing said, "Okay."
He Xinglan urged, "Hurry up, we can't wait to hear it."
Ye Xitang began to play the instrument, singing as she played.
Su Xing and He Xinglan listened very attentively.
The melody composed by Ye Xitang has a very light and catchy rhythm, just like the lyrics, making it easy for listeners to sway and hum along.
He Xinglan was already swaying her head to the rhythm.
The awakened fingers were also tapping out a gentle rhythm.
After Ye Xitang finished singing it once, she asked them, "What did you think?"
Su Xing commented, "It's very catchy. Although it's the first time I've heard it, I feel like I can hum along to the rhythm."
He Xinglan nodded and said, "Yes, it's so catchy! I think your song is definitely going to be a huge hit!"
Ye Xitang smiled and said, "I also feel it should be alright."
In the past few days, she has revised the melody of this song several times, and this is currently her most satisfactory version.
Su Xing said, "It works perfectly!"
Ye Xitang was very happy that the melody received the approval of the two lyricists.
She then spent a long time talking to Su Xing and He Xinglan about which instruments would be used in each part and what kind of sound effects would be achieved.
Although Su Xing and He Xinglan didn't understand music composition, they listened very attentively.
Finally, Ye Xitang said, "I'll go to the recording studio tomorrow to do a test recording of this song. I'll let you hear it when the final, complete song is recorded."
"Great, I'm also looking forward to the final result of this song."
"You must let us hear it first!"
"of course!"
The three girls chatted for a while, then ended the video call and went about their own business.
Su Xing listened to a nice song, one for which he had helped write the lyrics, and was in a very good mood.
But her good mood didn't last long.
Tang Wu suddenly sent her a message.
Tang Wu: "Do you have time to talk now? About what you said about wanting to sponsor girls who have dropped out of school."
Su Xing immediately initiated a voice call with Tang Wu.
Tang Wu answered the voice call immediately.
"Hello? Sister Tang, I have time, go ahead and tell me."
"Sigh..." Tang Wu sighed before she could speak.
When Su Xing heard Tang Wu sigh, his heart sank. "Is...you encountering some difficulties?"
"It hasn't been going very smoothly..." Tang Wu paused, then began to recount, "In the past week or so, I contacted several schools I had donated to, asking them to reach out to the girls who had dropped out and their parents, offering to sponsor their education so the children could return to school. But so far, only three parents have agreed to let their children continue their studies..."
She contacted four schools in total, but she never expected that she would only be able to persuade three families in the end...
When Su Xing heard that only three girls had accepted her sponsorship and would return to school, she was speechless for a long time.
She had thought that this might encounter some difficulties, and that there wouldn't be many people initially selected for donations, but she really didn't expect that there would only be three people!
Tang Wu chuckled and continued, "Some parents were hearing from the teacher that when someone offered to sponsor their child's education, they asked if they could sponsor their son, saying that only boys need to study and do great things in the future, and that it's useless for girls to study so much, it's a waste of time and money. When the teacher told them that the sponsor only sponsors girls, they made a huge fuss at school."
Su Xing frowned, trying hard to suppress his anger. "What are they making a fuss about? What? Have all the boys and girls in this family dropped out of school?"
Tang Wu sneered, "Of course not! The boy is still in school. His grades aren't very good, but even though he's not good at studying, his family didn't make him drop out. Instead, they made his older sister, who is better at studying, drop out of school to work. They said that after the New Year, she would go out to work and get married to earn a dowry when she reaches the right age. This time, when they heard that a sponsor was going to sponsor their children's schooling, they wanted to spend the money on their younger brother."
Su Xing took a deep breath and asked, "How old is this lady? What grade is she in?"
Tang Wu said, "Fifteen years old, in the second year of junior high school."
Su Xing said, "It's impossible for me to sponsor this boy. His family has no intention of letting him drop out of school, so let the parents support him themselves! As for the girl... it's against the parents to prevent her from completing nine years of compulsory education. This violates my country's Compulsory Education Law. The Law on the Protection of Minors also stipulates that parents or other guardians of minors must respect the minors' right to education and ensure that school-age minors receive and complete compulsory education in accordance with the law. They must not allow or force them to drop out of school! Let the teachers communicate with these girls' parents using legal provisions. Many ordinary people still have a certain respect for the law."
She knew that many families with a preference for sons would force girls to drop out of school. This phenomenon was common in some underdeveloped areas, and outsiders would only consider it a family matter and not interfere.
These girls were too young to resist their parents and could only resign themselves to their fate in despair.
Now she can only hope that she can use the law to persuade and deter these parents, and that it will really scare some ignorant parents and successfully rescue the poor girls.
Tang Wu said, "I also communicated with the school in this way, and contacted the local education department to ask them to visit, persuade and warn the parents. However, this will take some time. I hope there will be some good news in the end."
Su Xing relaxed a bit. "Sister Tang, you're so thoughtful. With the local education department involved, things should be easier to handle."
If parents fail to correct their behavior after being advised by the education department, they may be subject to administrative penalties.
If parents still refuse to comply, the education department can apply to the court for enforcement.
If parents engage in violence or abuse against minors, their guardianship may be revoked, and they may be held criminally liable in accordance with the law.
Tang Wu sighed, "I hope so..."
Although the law stipulates this, it is not always easy to implement.
