When Canglong and Mayor Ma appeared at the mine disaster site again, they were welcomed by all the villagers. Although they had not slept well for a long time, smiles appeared on their tired faces. The rescue team who came from the bottom of their hearts did not know the indifference around them. Why were the villagers so excited when they saw these two people in such an inappropriate situation? But they saw the villagers laughing.
So they felt that the laughter of the villagers in times of crisis was natural. They couldn't find any reason to think that this was natural. Instead, Deputy County Magistrate Wu came with guns and wanted to arrest Cang Long, which made them feel so uncomfortable. Suitable for the moment
However, Secretary Yu's obstruction made Deputy County Magistrate Wu and his people retreat in despair. After a few minutes of tension, they resumed the rescue operation that had lasted for 24 hours. No one really had a good sleep in peace of mind. It was raining heavily. All day and all night no one seemed to have thought that the rain would really stop.
Weather forecasts are always inaccurate just like irregular menstruation. The villagers say that this is God testing them. They are also taking postgraduate entrance examinations for people working in mines. Although this superstitious statement really does not make the rescue team believe it, it has now become the norm for everyone. Hope is a test of human will. I hope that the people under the mine are still alive. Everyone's nerves are like a stretched rope that may be broken at any time because it exceeds the limit. Everyone is persisting and persisting until the end. After a while, he was replaced and took a short rest and replenishment before rushing to the scene.
Secretary Yu watched this scene in the rain and wondered what he was thinking. The arrival of Township Chief Ma made the villagers extremely excited. The commander-in-chief of the rescue was surprised as to why the township chief was so popular with the people [
Canglong stood next to Secretary Yu and did not break up. The rain wet their clothes, making Canglong's muddy body much cleaner. But he didn't care. Fortunately, Secretary Yu finally came. It was so untimely, but it was so timely.
Under the signal tower, Canglong once had an expression that made him a little bit intolerable, just like the expressions on the faces of these villagers. It was a despair that he had never experienced before. Suddenly, he discovered that ordinary people were not actually living happier than them, because some Sometimes some difficulties can make people despair, and some people can also make people despair.
At least Soryu can resist because he still has the ability, but what can ordinary people do to resist?
"Your behavior is extremely bad. Although you had no choice but to do so, it is no different from rebellion. You actually incited the villagers to riot. You actually threatened government officials and injured the police. These crimes are enough to punish you with a term of imprisonment or even death." Yu The secretary looked at the people rescuing in the rain and said intently.
"That's not a riot or a rebellion, it's a resistance." Canglong looked at Secretary Yu and smiled and said, "Resist violence and oppression. There is a folk proverb in Scotland. Rise up and resist. Rise up and resist until the lamb turns into a lion. I like this sentence very much because even the lamb has become a lion. The same goes for a Lion's day."
After hearing this, Secretary Yu was silent for a while and suddenly turned to look at him and said, "But it's different in this country."
"It's not the same," Soryu insisted. "It's the same no matter where you are. Your political power is also the same. It's because people were oppressed, so the ancestors resisted and then created the present. If what they created is still the original tyranny, then what can people do?" It seems that it is just resistance until the lamb becomes a lion."
Secretary Yu suddenly became alert and thought of the bloodstains in front of the township government. Although these villagers did not have much ability, they had courage. Their courage came from the news that their relatives were trapped underground in the mine and the government turned a blind eye to the news. It chills their hearts and makes them courageous
This proverb largely illustrates the situationalism that people are most prone to under difficult circumstances. How great leaders they are. They were once like lambs until they rose up to fight against fate and injustice. From then on, they became strong and became lions.
"Although I was once desperate, you gave me hope and gave them hope. It is because of this that they seem to be resisting." Canglong said again, "But you are not the savior and neither am I. We cannot expect someone's integrity to lead the majority of people." Are you right that it is the integrity of the majority that will influence the corruption of the few? And if this happens a few more times, how lucky will you be?"
"It will take a long time to achieve this. China is still a developing country, so there will be many problems in this country. But as long as the people have confidence in us, we believe we can do better," Secretary Yu suddenly said
Canlong Dao does not deny this, because it takes time for any country to move from barbarism to civilization, and from darkness to light, just like China. It used to be closed and closed to the current open civilization. Although there have been many problems, life has indeed become better than before.
"I hope it's you and not just you" Canglong said suddenly
"There must be many people working together to speed up this process. History will prove it. It starts from here and starts from us." Secretary Yu said calmly. Although she didn't know how far the future was, she might not be able to see it in her lifetime.
Although this civilization is only the civilization of the majority, there are still a few people who are barbaric. Although this light is still the light of the majority, the minority is still in the dark. But as long as it does not turn around, it will be lucky for everyone. The light in fantasy seems to only appear in fantasy. No matter where we live, there is always darkness, but the degree of darkness varies.
Just like this mining disaster, Canglong can't change anything, but Secretary Yu has changed a lot, so Secretary Yu is the bright light for the villagers, not Canglong, although in the eyes of the villagers, he is actually Canglong.
If Secretary Yu doesn't come or if Secretary Yu is like Mayor Yang, I'm afraid it will be truly desperate.
"I'm surprised that you don't have many complaints. In the past, you might have ridiculed me and ended up arguing with me when you saw me," Secretary Yu said strangely.
Canglong shrugged and looked at the rescuer and said: "If cynicism can save the people below, maybe I can't."[
"Yes, we can't save us. We can only fight against heaven, people, and ourselves." Secretary Yu suddenly said something meaningful.
After seven days and seven nights of rescue, the villagers finally saw a glimmer of hope. They finally dug out the mine. Although the situation inside made people feel a little bad, the rescuers went back on their word. On the eighth day, the first person was rescued and returned. There is only one breath left, which brings hope to people
But more of them have already died. When they saw their loved ones being carried out, the family members who had not slept for several days finally burst into tears in the heavy rain. Under the unbearable eyes of everyone, their tired cries and the sound of rain intertwined. A large number of family members stood guard at the entrance of the mine. Every time someone was brought out, their hearts could not help but beat fast. Seeing the living life, they also burst into tears. No one knew why they were crying.
Canglong and Secretary Yu were also guarding the entrance of the mine. The ambulance and doctors were all waiting outside. No one blocked the exit of the mine. The villagers took the initiative to make way for them. They were waiting for their relatives, while Canglong was waiting for the old Chinese medicine doctor. **An watched nervously as everyone was carried out, but none of them was his grandfather.
Two hours have passed and there is still no news. Five or six people are still on the list of the mine. The risk of a second collapse makes the rescuers look worried.
**Seeing their hesitation, An finally couldn't help but wanted to rush in, but was blocked by Canglong. He scratched Canglong like crazy and tried to break free, but Canglong refused to let go. I don't know how long it took for the rescuers to finally bear it no longer. They got into the mine again. No one forced them, they just volunteered.
**An calmed down and suddenly asked Canglong: "Teacher, why did disaster happen to me? Why is God so unfair to me? Why is such a good man like my grandfather trapped down there?"
Canglong didn't answer his question in a hurry. He just looked at the sky and raised his head and said, "Disasters don't just happen to one person. Everyone will have disasters in their life. This is life."
"Is this always the case?" **An asked with an expression on his face.
"It's always like this" Canglong answered affirmatively
When Old Chinese Medicine Doctor Hu and the remaining six people were rescued, two rescuers were knocked unconscious by stones due to the collapse of the mine. Fortunately, their injuries were not serious, but five of the six people had stopped heartbeating, and only one was alive. And this person is the youngest, only eighteen years old
After Mr. Hu left, his face was still so peaceful** An didn't cry, she just looked at her grandfather's body in silence (original release:)
No one wants to face such a scene, but people will always leave, it’s just a matter of time, just like Canglong firmly said that life is always like this, even if you don’t want to
Of the 112 people trapped for nearly nine days, only 20 survived. The other 92 people died in this mining disaster. This set a new death toll in Jiangnan Province's mining disaster and is also the largest mining disaster in Jiangnan Province in recent years.
After the rescue, Secretary Yu ordered a special person to conduct an investigation and found that if they had dug through the mine five hours earlier, the death toll would have been reduced by half. If they had dug through the mine one day earlier, the death toll would have been reduced to a minimum. If they had dug through the mine two days earlier, perhaps no one would have suffered from this mining disaster. die
But there are no ifs in life...
When Deputy County Magistrate Wu learned that there were still people being carried out alive, he exclaimed that it was a miracle, but his face began to worry about how much compensation the county would have to pay with so many people alive and so many dead ( First release :)
