记者 张素

“20年来,‘魔豆’已从一段动人的励志故事,生长为照亮千万困境女性的参天大树。”中国红十字基金会理事长贝晓超近日在一场活动上说。

2006年,“魔豆爱心工程”发起成立,为身处困境的母亲提供电商创业培训、资金支持及创业辅助。

据悉,20年间,项目通过电商技能培训、手工艺赋能及就业对接,累计帮助近3万名女性重拾生活信心、实现自主增收。

“帮助一位母亲,就是帮助一个家庭,甚至帮助一个村庄。”有评论说,“魔豆妈妈”们总是以母亲的大爱,将爱心传递给更多身边的人。

赋能重塑生命轨迹

因先天脊髓发育不全而下半身瘫痪、曾被“困”在家中30年的郭媛媛,此次活动期间来到台上分享经历。加入“魔豆妈妈项目”后,她接受了系统钩织技能培训,其作品远赴巴黎、纽约等地展出。

“这颗小小的‘魔豆’,帮我精进技艺,帮我拥有了一份可以立足的事业,让我从阴影中走了出来。”郭媛媛说。

来自河北平泉的刘东梅是一名先天肢体残疾人,创办了残疾人就业服务中心。在“魔豆妈妈项目”支持下,她和骨干成员接受专业培训,再回乡传技,带动当地残疾姐妹劳动致富。

“姐妹们的成品合格率从参差不齐提升至90%,从一人一天只能挣两元(人民币,下同)到如今一天能挣七八十元。”刘东梅说,“‘魔豆妈妈’像一束光,照进我们原本灰暗的生活,让我们变成一颗颗会发光的小星星。”

构建可持续发展生态

受中国红十字会总会委托,2017年,正式更名后的“魔豆妈妈项目”由中国红十字基金会执行。

中国红十字基金会赈灾发展部部长廖玲说,从最初培训到支持“魔豆妈妈”电商创业,再到探索县域经济帮扶模式,“项目模式一直都在变化”。

在“魔豆妈妈项目”带头人唐占鑫看来,项目不是施舍,而是赋能。她说,不少姐妹自食其力,“能工作、能烦恼、能像打工人一样累,也是一种幸福。”

另一位“魔豆妈妈”代表夏虹也说,当作为残疾人代表用脚剪纸展示技艺时,她发现“原来我不是只能接受别人帮助,也可以靠自己的能力去创造价值”。

“救助非常重要,但如果希望生活发生长期变化,就必须帮助她获得持续发展的能力,让她有一天能够自己走下去,甚至有余力去帮助别人。”廖玲说。

到“下一个20年”

9月10日至13日,“魔豆绽放·美丽同行——魔豆妈妈20周年·数智时代困境女性就业赋能计划”公益市集在北京举行。

公益市集集中展销“魔豆妈妈”亲手制作的绒线编织、手工文创等作品,还设置了多个互动打卡点。在互动体验区,不少市民尝试非遗剪纸、编织小物、掐丝珐琅等“魔豆妈妈”培训课程中的内容。

一位带着孩子前来逛市集的年轻妈妈说,想让孩子知道,“女性可以很柔软,也可以很强大。”

还有不少参与者写下对困境女性的鼓励话语,投入现场“寄语箱”。这些信件将被送至正在接受帮扶的“魔豆妈妈”手中。“希望她们知道,有人在默默为她们加油。”一位志愿者说。

贝晓超在参观市集后表示:“希望更多人看见困境女性的才华与坚守,让每一份自强不息的努力都被看见、被尊重、被珍惜。”

面向“下一个20年”,“魔豆妈妈”项目将持续深化与各界联动,重点聚焦残疾困境女性的成长需求,完善赋能体系、拓宽增收渠道,让善意生生不息。

The rise of emotional companionship services: from “returning to the teacher in seconds” to regulatory challenges

In recent years, emotional companionship services with names such as "Return to Teacher" and "Listening Teacher" have rapidly emerged in China. Most of the service targets are young and middle-aged people. However, practitioners generally have no professional qualifications and service boundaries are blurred. There are problems of emotional exhaustion, occupational risks and consumer rights protection. Experts call for the establishment of hierarchical supervision, ethics training and legal backstops to regulate the development of new business formats.

Revealing the Chaos of Online Emotional Counseling: AI Routines to Drain Traffic and High-priced Conversion Causes Secondary Damage

The survey found that the online emotional counseling industry uses AI to acquire customers in batches, set up personal accounts to attract fans, and use layered words to force orders to form an industry chain. The so-called mentors are mostly salespeople who guide users to consume at high prices by creating anxiety. This not only fails to repair the relationship, but may also cause economic losses and secondary psychological harm. Experts call for seeking help through formal channels.

Taipei MRT's removal of pillars caused controversy. Elderly passengers fell to the ground and were injured. People questioned the improper handling.

The Taipei MRT Corporation removed columns from carriages due to heavy crowds during peak hours, sparking public doubts. Yesterday, some netizens posted on Threads that while riding the Red Line, they witnessed an old man in his 80s or 90s falling backward due to instability in his center of gravity when the MRT started. The back of his head hit the floor. Passengers on the car were nervous but did not dare to move him. Subsequently, MRT personnel arrived and directly pulled the old man up without first confirming the injury, which raised concerns about the handling method.

The Central City Government requires the quasi-public floor price to be NT$16,000 per month. Protesters from the industry have found it difficult to survive and have led to withdrawal from the group.

More than 30 childcare operators in Taichung City protested against the city government's "floor price" of NT$16,000 per month for new quasi-public childcare providers. They bluntly said that the skyrocketing costs made it difficult to survive and would lead to the group withdrawing from the business. The Social Affairs Bureau responded that you can apply for an increase of 5% every year after the first year.
