Stars Fall Into The Sea, Love Never Fades Chapter 35
byChapter 35: Public Welfare Inheritance and Spiritual Sustainability
In their later years, Azhi and Qi spent most of their time focusing on the inheritance of the “Xingluo Project”.
They established the “Xingluo Philanthropy Academy” to specialize in cultivating philanthropic talents and impart the art therapy experience and project operation methods accumulated over decades to young people without reservation.Qi personally wrote the “Introduction Guide to Art Healing”, which not only contains professional painting skills, but also his understanding and empathy for patients with depression; A Zhi designed a standardized process for public welfare projects so that the “Starfall Project” model can be copied and promoted by more people.
“When doing charity, you must not only use your heart, but also use methods.” Azhi said to the young students in the class of the Philanthropy Academy, “You must remember that everyone in need of help deserves to be treated gently and has the right to have a good life.”
Qi sat next to him and added: “Painting is the carrier, and love is the core. You want the children to feel that you really care about them and are really willing to accompany them.”
The students took notes carefully, with admiration in their eyes.Many of them are beneficiaries of the “Xingluo Project”, and it is the story of Azhi and Qi that set them on the road to charity.
On this day, the Charity Institute held a “Starfall Heritage” themed event, inviting many former students, current volunteers, and children who had been helped.The event site was filled with paintings from different eras, from the original “Stars Falling on the Sea” painted by Qi to the starry sky and warm sun painted by children today, witnessing the transmission of the charity spirit step by step.
A middle-aged man walked onto the stage and said with red eyes: “When I was a child, I suffered from depression due to family changes. The Starfall Project saved me. Now, I have become a psychiatrist and have joined the volunteer team of the Starfall Project. I want to say to Teacher A Zhi and Teacher Qi, thank you. It is you who let me know that love can change destiny and can be passed on.”
There was warm applause from the audience. Azhi and Qi looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of relief and touch.
After the activity, the middle-aged man walked up to Azhi and Qi and handed a painting: “This is “Inheritance” that I painted and gave it to the two teachers. The starry sky in the painting was illuminated by you; the children around us are what we need to protect.”
On the drawing paper, under a bright starry sky, volunteers from the older and younger generations are accompanying the children to draw. The picture is warm and full of hope.
Ah Zhi took the painting and said softly: “Thank you. Seeing your appearance now makes us feel relieved.”
Qi nodded: “The inheritance of charity is the inheritance of love. As long as someone is willing to take over this baton, the ‘Xingluo Project’ will continue to move forward.”
As the sun set, Ah Zhi and Qi walked side by side on their way home.They know that they will eventually leave, but the spirit of the “Starfall Project” will continue forever; their love will be passed on to more people through generations of charity workers.
This is the most precious gift they left to this world.
