This little fish cares

There is such a story.

One morning after the storm, a man came to the seaside for a walk. As he walked along the seashore, he noticed that there were many small fish swept ashore by the storm last night in the shallow water of the beach. They were trapped in shallow water and could not return to the sea, although they were very close. There may be hundreds or even thousands of small fish trapped. Before long, the water in the shallow water will be sucked up by the sand and evaporated by the sun, and these small fish will die.

The man continued to walk forward. He suddenly saw a little boy in front, walking slowly, and constantly bending down beside each puddle – he was picking up the small fish in the puddle and throwing them back into the sea. The man stopped and looked at the little boy, watching him save the lives of the little fish.

Finally, the man could not help walking over: "Son, there are hundreds of thousands of small fish in this puddle. You can't save them."

"I know," the little boy replied without looking up.

"Oh? Why are you still throwing it? Who cares?"

"This little fish cares!" the boy answered, picking up a fish and throwing it into the sea This one cares, this one also cares! And this one, this one, this one... "

Today, you begin your college life here. Each of you will learn how to save lives here. Although you can't save people all over the world, China, or even provinces, you can still save some people, and you can alleviate their pain. Because of your existence, their life will be different – you can make their life better. This is what you can and will do.

Here, I hope you will study hard and never give up! Remember: "This little fish cares! This little fish cares! And this one, this one, this one... "
