Chapter 358 Sparks start a prairie fire (1)
The account registered by Li Xiaogang is called "Spiritual Fire". The meaning is clearer - although she is just a cluster of small flames now, she has vigorous vitality and can burn the entire wilderness.
Just looking at this name is enough to feel "ignite".
Li Xiao made a video account and a public account with his friend. His friend is actually her junior brother in the workplace. Both of them have a hot temper and do it if they don’t accept it. So as soon as Li Xiao instigated him, he resigned and wanted to realize his ideal of upholding justice.
The two have a clear division of labor. Friends are responsible for editing videos and Li Xiao is responsible for writing copywriting. Several issues have been published a few days ago. Whether it is to capture social hot spots or comment on controversial figures in the entertainment industry, she has been fully fired and is excited to watch every article. Including Zhang Yaoyao, the former "the number one short video" who was also the target of her criticism. Zhang Yaoyao is called a traitor in the new era. If Zhang Yaoyao saw her video, she would probably be angry to death.
Li Xiao criticized those glamorous characters, which made the audience feel extremely comfortable. She has been immersed in the news circle for many years, has solid professional knowledge and beautiful articles, which also captures the audience's concerns, and it is reasonable to receive extremely high attention. But in the eyes of Tong Tong and Hao Mengyuan, her works lack "fairness and objectiveness".
In other words, she doesn't seem to be seriously criticizing reality, but venting her anger.
For a media, this drawback is fatal.
But Li Xiao was like a chicken blood injection, and she probably wouldn't listen to the suggestions of these two people - especially the two people who had been full of expectations but were very disappointed in the end. She was more willing to deal with her friends whom she was in love with.
Moreover, she lived so passionately that Tong Tong sighed that he was not as good as that. He felt that he was not qualified to point fingers at this girl.
As long as she heard that there was something unfair, Li Xiao and his friends drove a dilapidated second-hand car to the front line for field investigation. After the summer began, she got into a dispute with a paper mill. Someone sent her an email saying that the mother river in her hometown was polluted by the upstream paper mill, and the river became a real "Ink River". The river water not only turned black, but also emitted a foul smell. The villagers felt discomfort one after another. In just a few days, three people were diagnosed with cancer. They went to the paper mill for trouble, but the person in charge of the paper mill said that the sewage they emitted was not a problem and was discharged after meeting the standards.
Li Xiao was like a passionate female hero. When she heard such "unfair" news, she immediately went out. The villagers heard that she was a well-known reporter, and enthusiastically and even excitedly took her to the Moshui River. To be honest, in the twilight, the river itself was dark and Li Xiao didn't see anything unusual. But the villagers were very excited and very noisy. Li Xiao and his friends were brainwashed smoothly. The aquatic plants that swayed with the flow of the river were really like ink condensed together.
The student who wrote her an email played a recording to her, which was mixed with a lot of professional terms, such as cods and bods. Li Xiao could barely understand the pH value. In short, the attitude of the paper mill manager was very obvious - they only emitted it after they met the emission standards. The student said angrily: "I went to ask for an explanation, but the technician was very arrogant and kept telling me knowledge that I couldn't understand at all. He was deliberately making things difficult for me!"
Li Xiao really didn't understand. She said: "Maybe this part of the knowledge is indeed more professional, so it is appropriate for him to give a professional explanation."
The student suddenly looked unhappy.
Li Xiao was afraid that he would have a misunderstanding - she did not stand on the united front with him, so she hurriedly said, "Can you send me this part of the recording? I can ask professionals for help."
The student was still reluctant. It seemed that Li Xiao did not trust him and wanted to find someone to confirm it.
Despite this, the student sent the recording to Li Xiao and took her to the victims. Only one patient was at home. Because the man was diagnosed with cancer, the whole family was shrouded in an atmosphere of despair. The hostess of the family spoke in a strong dialect and cursed the world. Because there were two children who were going to school at home, the man did not plan to treat it. Anyway, it would not be cured, and he did not want to waste money.
Li Xiao felt sympathy and had 200 yuan in cash on her, which was for emergency use. She took it out without hesitation and handed it to the hostess of the house. She asked patiently: "How did your husband get cancer? Can you tell me the specific details?"
The hostess took the money without hesitation, and didn't even say "thank you" seriously. Li Xiao just thought she was upset and in a mood, so she didn't care too much. The hostess glanced at her dejected husband and said, "He was working in the cornfield. It was too hot, so she went to the river to take a shower and took a sip of water. That night, his stomach hurt so much. He endured it all night and went to the hospital during the day. The doctor said that something had grown in his stomach, and it was probably not a good thing, so he had to cut it quickly.
Li Xiao asked: "The doctor said, is it related to sewage?"
"That must have something to do! He often drinks water from the river and will definitely be affected!"
The man still buried his head and didn't speak, while the woman was already crying. It seems that this man is dull and the woman is stronger. Li Xiao has seen a shrew, and I'm afraid this woman is the kind of shrew who will roll on the ground and make a fuss.
Li Xiao asked the man: "Do you often drink water from the river? I am also from the countryside, but I never drink it. Because my family has told me since I was a child that the water in the river is not clean, and even the water in the well is not completely clean. In order to drink a sip of clean water, parents often have to go a long way to carry it back, and let us drink it after it boils."
The man wanted to speak but stopped, while the woman cried and said, "I'm so thirsty when I work, who cares about so much? You can't die of thirst, right?"
The man buried his head again and remained silent.
After finishing the interview, Li Xiao didn't have time to return to Gangcheng, so he found a simple hotel accommodation in a nearby town. That night, she sorted out materials in front of the computer, but was bitten by mosquitoes so that she could not concentrate. Her friend was also about to collapse by mosquitoes and shouted to go back to Gangcheng. Li Xiao comforted him that it was not easy to come this trip, and he happened to go to the paper mill for an interview tomorrow morning so that he could get more first-hand materials.
My friend had no choice but to listen to her. The next morning, the two of them arrived at the paper mill. The paper mill was not large in size, and they stood at the gate and saw the factory. Such a "small workshop" was the easiest to become a source of pollution. Li Xiao thought this way and took firm steps.
The guard stopped them, but Li Xiao took out the business card of the "Hong Kong Evening News", and the guard was in trouble and became much more polite. He went in and called Li Xiao and the others for a while, and the technicians would come out later.
Li Xiao felt a little uncomfortable - even if her self-media is a rising star in the industry, these are far less influential than the "Hong Kong Evening News". Hao Mengyuan is right, it is difficult to shake the professional staff in general.
The technician came out soon. After learning about their purpose, the middle-aged man was obviously excited: "Our factory is not big, and the cost is limited. He was named by the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau before, but we have changed it long ago! The factory spent a lot of money, can we not deal with it?"
Her attitude was very bad. With this, Li Xiao made a cross in her heart. She frowned and asked, "What did you do? Can you explain it to us clearly?"
The middle-aged man said helplessly: "I said that our cost is limited, and we use the traditional precipitation method. After adding coagulant, 80% of the codine can be removed, which can meet the emission standards stipulated by the state. There is evidence."
"Can we show the evidence?"
"Who do you think you are? Are you a policeman? Why do we show you? I still have to go back to work and I don't have time to chat with you here!"
The middle-aged man's tone became more and more violent, and both Li Xiao and his friends were angered. But the reporter just had to be patient and persevere. Li Xiao said: "But the people downstream have worked hard because of the sewage you discharged, and some people have been diagnosed with cancer for this. If you don't give an explanation, it would be too irresponsible."
"Cancer cancer must be related to us. There are more people in the world who have cancer, and they are all affected by us. Who knows why they have cancer? They want to blackmail us. Anyway, we have met the emission standards and we have worked very hard, so our companies must survive. Don't make things difficult for us all day long, is it OK?"
The middle-aged man's order to expel the guest was very stiff. Li Xiao sighed, looked at his friend for a while, and reached a tacit understanding - this manuscript must be written.
Li Xiao was so angry that he typed out the keyboard. His friend edited the audio and focused on "the factory spent a lot of money." He did not cut the remaining part in it. Li Xiao said: "Is this considered a malicious edit?"
"Not counting! He didn't say what to spend a lot of money later! That big price is likely to be spent on unblocking relationships. And what he said was meeting the national emission standards. Who tested this? Maybe it was the people he unblocking relationships!"
Li Xiao felt it made sense and did not raise any more doubts. After modifying the typo, he simultaneously updated the video and official account. After running around for several days, both of them were so tired that they almost fell asleep while sitting on the chair.
After waking up, Li Xiao realized that her manuscript became popular. Many big vs forwarded her videos and put forward similar views to her - this kind of small workshop is not only inefficient in production, but also has a high consumption of raw materials, but what is even more worrying is their damage to the environment. This kind of small workshop should have been banned long ago.
