Chapter 23 Doing things for the common people
After leaving Xiao Shufei's office, Chen Ping did not go to the detention center to bring out the son of Li Village Chief Li in Liuli Village because Chen Ping had investigated his glorious deeds before.
Li's son is named Li Zhi. Since he established the first chemical factory near Liuli Village five years ago, he has been rushing for the environment of Liuli Village. From the environmental protection station in Kunbei Town to the Environmental Protection Bureau of Dongwu City, he has traveled through these places countless times to report to leaders at all levels the pollution situation in Liuli Village and even the entire Kunbei Town. But the reality is not a fairy tale with a perfect ending. Those bureaucrats who are full of greed and only have GDP will never be moved by perseverance. Therefore, he returns in vain every time, and even brings trouble to himself. [The latest updates are all in search.]
In fact, this is not the first time that Li Zhi has entered the detention center. As early as two years ago, when the titanium dioxide factory was more unscrupulous in discharge of sewage than any other chemical factory, he could no longer bear it and found the Dongwu Environmental Protection Bureau to report the situation. As a result, the next day, he was arrested by the Kunbei Town Police Station at home.
Of course, this time it was just a warning, and Li Zhi did not commit any illegal acts, so he was released not long after.
When Li Zhigang was released from prison, he was indeed quiet for a few days under his father's strict discipline, but he could not face his hometown, which was more polluted day by day, so he soon embarked on the road of petitioning again. In the end, this was the result. Last year, he was locked in the detention center again in the name of blackmail, and it has been for one year, until now.
There is no doubt that this is the result of Deputy Mayor Wang Cunxi's operation behind the scenes. Some bureaucrats are like this. They will never consider solving the problems raised by the people, but only how to solve the people who raised the problems.
Chen Ping could actually take Li Zhi out of the detention center very early, but doing so would only destroy him. Maybe he didn't care, but Chen Ping couldn't accept it.
Such a person who is willing to sacrifice his life for his hometown and is even arrested by the police station for his warning, is definitely an environmental hero in Liuli Village and even the entire Luzhuang City. Such a hero should enjoy the honor that is equal to his efforts!
Not only that, Chen Ping also turned Li Zhi's affairs into a knife this time, aiming directly at bureaucrats like Wang Cunxi who hold power but never do personnel. He wants to help people's heroes like Li Zhi get justice, and he also wants those bureaucrats who do not do personnel to pay the price for this.
It is precisely for this goal that Chen Ping deliberately postponed the matter until now.
The only thing that can allow Li Zhi to enjoy the glory he deserves is the media. Since the executive vice governor has already given instructions on this matter, the media in the province will naturally not have any concerns. Therefore, before going to the detention center to take the people, Chen Ping once again contacted various media inside and outside the province, allowing them to go to the detention center to witness the moment when Li Zhi regained his freedom.
Chen Ping brought the reporters to the Luzhuang City Detention Center, and there was also a deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau accompanying him. Although Concubine Xiao Shu said hello in advance, Chen Ping still walked strictly according to the procedures. More than ten minutes later, Li Zhi was taken out by the guards of the detention center.
With reporters present, Li Zhi must have sorted out before being taken out, but even so, when Chen Ping saw him, he could still see his unconcealed depressedness.
But it is no wonder. After all, he is the person he is the one who is being taken care of by the deputy mayor, and the detention center will definitely treat him well in it. Threats, intimidation, or even beating are ordinary.
Chen Ping sighed in his heart, then stepped forward and went to Li Zhi two steps and said to him: "Hello Li Zhi, I am Chen Ping, the newly appointed Environmental Protection Bureau of Luzhuang Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau. The source of pollution in your Liuli Village. The titanium dioxide factory was forced to be closed by me a week ago. Other polluting enterprises are also undergoing rectification, so don't worry!"
Hearing Chen Ping's words, Li Zhi's eyes, which were originally a little hollow, suddenly became bright. He held Chen Ping's hand excitedly and looked at Chen Ping excitedly.
Of course, Chen Ping understood Li Zhi's current mood, which was a kind of relief to learn that his hometown had finally changed, and the goal he was pursuing was finally attained. So Chen Ping said to Li Zhi: "If you want to cry now, just cry."
As Chen Ping finished speaking, the nerve that Li Zhi had been tensely tense immediately relaxed, and he immediately burst into tears.
Then, this simple man who had never lowered his head when facing the threat of Wang Cunxi, the deputy mayor of Luzhuang City, bowed deeply to Chen Ping, and said in tears: "Thank you, thank you Director Chen for helping my village leave the pollution. Thank you very much!"
Chen Ping helped him up and shook his head and said, "I just did what I do. It was you who helped your village, your perseverance, and your fearlessness of power, which made your village have a day to get out of the pollution haze. Well, your family is still waiting for you in the village, so I'll send you back?"
Li Zhi nodded heavily, then got into the car of the Environmental Protection Bureau with Chen Ping, left the detention center, and returned to Liuli Village. When the car drove to the entrance of Liuli Village, a group of people could be seen from afar, standing at the entrance of the village, looking forward to it. They were all villagers from Liuli Village. They were staring at the car of the Environmental Protection Bureau that was driving over.
Finally, when the car stopped in front of them and Li Zhi walked out of the car, they immediately cheered enthusiastically.
Village Chief Li walked in front, burst into tears, and when Li Zhi saw his old father whom he had not seen for a long time, he was filled with tears in his eyes, especially when he saw his father's ears, because he was completely white because of his worries about his own affairs, he regretted it even more. Li Zhi finally called him dad and went over and hugged his father tightly.
Chen Ping did not walk over, he just stood by the car and watched the touching scene silently.
Although Chen Ping did not want to disturb anything, the villagers of Liuli Village obviously would not forget Chen Ping. Just when Chen Ping was about to turn around and return to the car and then return to Luzhuang City, all the villagers of Liuli Village, led by Village Chief Li, knelt down for Chen Ping in unison, and said in unison: "Thank you Director Chen!"
Faced with such a scene, Chen Ping was stunned for a moment. After all, he had never seen such a scene except on TV. However, Chen Ping finally had a strong psychological endurance. In just a few seconds, Chen Ping came back to his senses. He hurriedly stepped up two steps to help the old village chief in front, and said, "What are you doing? It has been more than 50 years of liberating now, why are you still like this? I am a party member and a people's cadre, but I am not the kind of official master in the old feudal society. Get up quickly, don't do this!"
The old village chief was stubborn and refused to get up. He said to Chen Ping: "Director Chen, it was you who helped our Liuli Village get rid of the threat of pollution. It was you who made the children in our village no longer endure those strange illnesses. We cannot repay your great kindness. You can just accept it as a blessing!"
After saying that, the old village chief and all the villagers of Liuli Village kowtowed to Chen Ping together.
Chen Ping looked at all this blankly. Facing these simple people, Chen Ping could feel that everything he did was meaningful.
After everyone got up, Chen Ping said to everyone: "Dear fellow villagers, helping everyone to control pollution is just my duty as a people's cadre. I understand that everyone was tortured by pollution before, but today, I can tell you very responsibly that as long as I am still in this position for one day, I will never tolerate the past happening again!"
As Chen Ping finished speaking, a warm cheer immediately broke out on the scene. Faced with such a scene, not to mention Chen Ping, even the secretary Zhang Tao behind him, and the driver Yu Dajiang, unconsciously straightened his waist. For the first time, I felt that as a government official, I was not a rat or borer that everyone called to beat, and I could still have a sense of honor. Of course, the premise was to do things for the people.
