The Presidential Palace of Indonesia is a white building.

There is nothing special in the design of the building itself, but there are beautiful lawns and gardens in front of the Presidential Palace.

Moreover, the Presidential Palace is also an attraction in Indonesia. It is open to the public during holidays. However, to visit the Presidential Palace, you need to wear formal attire, at least neatly dressed, and sleeveless clothes are not allowed.

Because of Jakarta's bad terrain and serious flooding, the Presidential Palace will be flooded regardless of anything. When I come to the Presidential Palace during the rainy season in Bali, I have to complain eight times out of ten.

Now that the rainy season has passed and it's a working day again, the Presidential Palace looks busy and professional.

After passing the security check, I arrived at the conference room and found that most of the people had already arrived.

Barry found a place to sit down, and there was no one around him.

There is no other way, who wants to sit with someone from the Corruption Eradication Commission? Bad luck!

Others here are not in a hurry, as they all know the terrible traffic conditions in Jakarta on weekdays.

The meeting was delayed for more than ten minutes until everyone arrived. After discussing several topics, the topic finally came to pirates.

Everyone discussed it for a while, while Barry stood aside and looked on coldly. Just as he thought, nothing came out of the discussion at all.

Most people simply don't want to send people to escort or suppress bandits.

Barry looked at the few people who refused sternly and sneered in his heart.

For several of them, he has already obtained evidence of corruption and profit transfer, but he has not taken action yet.

But seeing them talking nonsense, Barry couldn't help it.

However, although he was qualified to participate in the meeting, his position was not as good as others. Just when he hesitated whether to stand up,

An official stood up.

He is the official responsible for coordinating escort fleets from various countries.

"Some time ago, a security company caught a pirate while escorting. They really didn't know what to do with it, so they handed him over to the escorting Singaporean warship, and the Singaporean escorting warship handed the pirate over to us.

"

He paused and said: "To be honest, we don't know what to do with him..."

Everyone looked at him, wondering why he said this.

Your duty is to deal with pirates. What do you mean when you say you don't know? Are you trying to show your incompetence in front of the president?

Then the official stood up and played a video on the big screen.

Seeing the picture on the screen, many people's eyes widened.

On the screen was a boy who looked to be about ten years old. He was short, dark, and had a look of fear and confusion on his face.

This is... a pirate?

As if he knew what the others were thinking, the official nodded and said, "Yes, he is a pirate!"

"His name is Badaka, he is 10 years old. When he was arrested, almost all his companions were beaten to death, and he was the only one who survived. During the interrogation, he just cried and said sorry, saying that his father,

His brother is dead and he has to support the family..."

At this point, the official sighed and didn't know what to say.

Everyone fell silent and looked at the ten-year-old pirate who was crying in front of the camera.

In fact, the official didn't need to say anything more.

Our children, who are only 10 years old, already have to become pirates to support the family.

Is there any hope for this country?

Next to him, the official appeared in the camera. He whispered something and took out some food, and the boy slowly stopped crying.

After a while, the boy hummed softly.

Barry's eyes widened when he heard this familiar melody.

Suddenly someone asked: "What song is he singing?"

Everyone looked at each other.

At this time, do you still care what song he sings?

Even Barry felt that it was a bit inappropriate to ask this question at this time.

Who would have thought that someone would actually answer this sentence.

The director of media and public opinion in the presidential palace stood up and said: "The song he sang is a new song released by Gu Xiaobai. It is No. 1 on all major charts. It is called "Pick Up the Stars".

Talking about pirates."

The public opinion manager walked to the big screen and said, "I also have a video that I want to show everyone."

"Some time ago, in addition to Gu Xiaobai's song, there was also a very popular video. This video was posted by a teacher who has taught on Parry Island for seven years.

The Indonesian version of "Pick Up the Stars" sung by the children is undoubtedly more shocking to these people, most of whom do not understand Chinese.

"The popularity of this Indonesian version of "Pick Up the Stars" on the Internet can be said to be second only to the original version, and even more popular than many celebrities' covers. Because of its great influence, we contacted our assistant some time ago.

Academic institutions, I hope they will sponsor this teacher..."

At this point, he paused and sighed: "Only after the people we sent arrived, we discovered that the teacher was burned to death that night after teaching this song..." The public opinion manager shook his head.

He shook his head and said no more.

Another person said: "I know about Parry Island. Many people on that island have been pirates..."

"Wait a minute, is that child who sang in the classroom before, is Badaka?" the official suddenly shouted.

Everyone was stunned.

impossible.

How could it be such a coincidence?

But many things in this world are so coincidental.

Although many links are missing, many people have thought of something.

"It's only been a few days, so many things have happened..."

I really can't stand it anymore.

In this world, no matter how many statistics there are, they are just numbers.

But when a living person appears in front of them so realistically, that kind of shock, that kind of appeal,

For example, on the other side of the ocean, so many people have died from the epidemic, but they can't compare to a black man who died calling his mother in front of everyone.

At this moment, no matter how indifferent many people are, no matter how many interests are involved, they have to be touched.

Deep in my heart, my hidden conscience beat so violently.

An emotion called "anger" overwhelms reason, interests, and all other thoughts.

"Let's vote next."

When the meeting ended, Barry walked out of the room satisfied.

Although they will face many problems with their decision just now, they will face a lot of criticism and opposition.

But it doesn't matter, there is a solution for everything in this world, and you can find a way to deal with it.

But pirates really can't continue to be rampant.

I'm afraid no one in the world knows that their decision was made because of a song and a young man named Gu Xiaobai.

Their decision was also made for a boy, a boy named Badaka.

Likewise, they are also doing it for the teacher.
