Chapter five hundred and eighty third: Formosa delegation three
(After darkness, we always bring dawn. The extraordinary success of the operation and the benign result that we expected in the end. Everyone is really relieved. Relatives are for life. It is a feeling of entangled blood. This life Can't let go. It's also our greatest wealth in this life. I hope you will cherish your loved ones more in the future. Even if there are big conflicts, you must remember that the same blood flows in your bodies. Thank you for your concern. Updates will be slow. Slow is normal.)
Huanbei Town has not changed much compared to the last time Yu Fan investigated. There are just a few more residential areas and the population is more concentrated. Even though the surrounding area still looks desolate, the prototype of rural urbanization is already there. It is beginning to take shape. This is the real reason why the Lanjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government are confident in hosting the Baodao delegation this time.
As big as a country or as small as a family, it seems that only those who are truly wealthy can truly strengthen their waist. As for the situation in Huanbei Town, it is impossible for the Baodao delegation not to know about it. Tang Jingnian should be very aware. As a person For politicians, calmness is often the first factor. Although this trip to mainland China indicates that they are returning to their hometown to worship their ancestors, the reality is not just that simple.
Although a veteran politician from Baodao only returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors in a private capacity, the political posture he showed was a very positive signal. It is undeniable that this incident is different from what is currently being said on the island. The overall situation of the election is relevant. Many people probably know this. But compared with the overall situation of cross-strait reunification, this political purpose seems irrelevant.
The current civil war has gradually eased after a period of turmoil. War, especially war within a nation, is something the people of China absolutely do not want to see. Internal cannibalism will only lead to Let the loved ones hate the enemies quickly. No one will go to that step unless it is absolutely necessary. As long as there is 1% hope, both sides must and should make 100% efforts to prevent this situation from happening.
Due to various reasons, this Baodao delegation’s trip to the mainland was made. The international community seemed to attach great importance to the Baodao delegation’s trip to the mainland. Even the reporters who accompanied the delegation all the way. Half of them are foreigners. The internal affairs of a nation have attracted the attention of so many other countries. This is a very strange thing. What makes Yu Fan even more amused is that these people are also big-hearted. Not the same.
It can be felt that Tang Jingnian was not surprised by such a grand welcome scene in Huanbei Town. However, perhaps because of his shyness in being close to home, Yu Fan could still feel a little excitement in his heart. The staff at the scene Under the guidance, Mr. Tang Jing smiled and waved to the villagers of Huanbei Town who came to welcome him. From the corner of his eyes, he looked in the distance of the town from time to time. There was a hint of urgency in his eyes.
He has been Yu Fan's secretary for several years. Although Qi Yuan does not have Yu Fan's ability to sense people's hearts, he still has the ability to observe people's emotions. Seeing that Mr. Tang seemed to be a little absent-minded and polite to everyone, Qi Yuan turned to look Yu Fan. Yu Fan also smiled and nodded to him.
While Qi Yuan and the people around him were whispering instructions, Yu Fan walked up to Tang Jingnian and said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, why don't we change the itinerary. First go to worship our ancestors, and then go to the town to rest and meet the folks. What do you think?" Upon hearing this, Tang Jingnian was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Yu Fan, smiled and nodded.
He smiled slightly. Yu Fan also turned around to discuss with Pang Yu and Xu Chaoyang. The two looked at each other and smiled. Pang Yu looked at Yu Fan and said: "I think it's okay. Since we are returning to our hometown to worship our ancestors, the old people are already here." Agreed. We have no reason to object. What do you think, Director Xu?" Xu Chaoyang also nodded and smiled. "The schedule is crucial. The key is how to make things go more smoothly." Speaking of this, Xu Chaoyang looked back at the reporters taking pictures around him. He chuckled and said, "But you still have to be fully prepared for some unexpected situations. Not everyone is prepared for the current situation. We are happy to see moderation."
After all, he was engaged in diplomatic work. Xu Chaoyang looked at the problem from a much more comprehensive perspective than the two of them. Yu Fan nodded thoughtfully. Pang Yu glanced at Yu Fan with some worry. He thought for a while. Yu Fancai said: "I am very familiar with Huanbei Town's preparations in all aspects. I believe they have done sufficient work in this regard."
Pang Yu was a person who knew the relationship between Qi Yuan and Yu Fan very well. He couldn't help but smile and nod. Xu Chaoyang also smiled at Yu Fan and nodded: "If that's the case, then I have nothing to worry about. Tang I'll leave it to you, Mr. Pang. Other matters will be taken care of by our comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Mayor Pang. Haha, what do you think of this arrangement? Mayor Pang," he said with a smile on his face. Look at Pang Yu.
Regarding Xu Chaoyang's decision, Pang Yu felt a little strange. He left everything to Yu Fan, but the two of them retreated behind the scenes. This undoubtedly meant that Yu Fan, the district secretary, would show his face. For a moment, Pang Yu Yu also glanced at the two people thoughtfully. After hearing Xu Chaoyang's words, Pang Yu smiled slightly and said: "Then it will be hard work for Comrade Yu Fan. Haha." Looking at the two people, Yu nodded with a smile. Fan also walked towards Mr. Tang in the crowd.
The ancestral tomb of the Tang family is in the back hill of the original Huanbei Village. It is a good place based on traditional Feng Shui. But judging from the current development direction of Huanbei Town, it seems a bit deserted. There are bare mountains. Exposed brown rocks. In the small river at the foot of the mountain, although the river water has not shown a trend of drying up like other places, the turbid river water has a faint smell. The impact of rapid economic development on the environment It is also fully reflected here.
The road leading to the back mountain obviously did not receive the attention of the town before. The asphalt road was also newly paved. When the convoy drove to the river, Yu Fan couldn't help but frowned when he looked at the wooden bridge on the river. Although the bridge has obviously been renovated, its age is self-evident from the color of the wood.
Just as he was about to ask Qi Yuan to ask something, Mr. Tang Jing chuckled and said to Mrs. Tang beside him: "Everything has changed when I came back this time. Only this bridge still retains some of the appearance it had when I left my hometown. .Haha. I really miss the scene when I was young playing in the water here." Mrs. Tang looked at her husband with a smile on her face. But Mr. Tang looked very happy. He took his wife's hand and took the lead. We walked onto the wooden bridge.
Yu Fan was shocked. He quickly walked to Qi Yuan and said, "What's going on with this bridge? Is it safe?" Qi Yuan was stunned. He quickly said, "Secretary Yu, please rest assured. It's absolutely safe." Fan nodded, but quickly walked a few steps to follow. When he stepped onto the wooden bridge, there was a "creak" sound under his feet, which made his face gradually become serious. This made Qi Yuan who was following closely. I couldn't help but mention it in my heart.
Mr. Tang seemed to have deep feelings for this wooden bridge. The two old men were also chatting and laughing on the wooden bridge. For no time, Mr. Tang was still pointing in the distance. It seemed that he was introducing Mrs. Tang beside him. What were you talking about? It wasn't until he saw the two old men walking off the bridge that Yu Fan breathed a sigh of relief. His solemn expression slowly relaxed.
After crossing the bridge, there was a gravel mountain road. The mountain road was so rugged that the two old people only walked over carefully with the help of their children and staff. However, the old people seemed to have expected this situation. His smile never stopped.
The mountain road in front of the Tang family's ancestral grave is difficult to walk. Qi Yuan had already reported it to Yu Fan. According to the results of the discussion with the Huanbei Town Party Committee, he hoped that the district would agree with them to repair this road. However, Yu Fan passed by After careful consideration, I rejected this request. Firstly, this section of the road is a mountain road and the construction project will be very complicated. Secondly, no one lives here. Even if it is repaired, it will not be possible for a long time in the future. It will have too big an impact. Spending a lot of money on this matter to build a road that will be of little use in the future. This is not Yu Fan's style of doing things.
At the end of the gravel mountain road is a stele-protecting pavilion. Compared with the rows of tombstones behind it, this stele-protecting pavilion is obviously newly built. However, Mr. Tang and his wife did not stop at the Huanbei Town Committee. On the newly built stele-protecting pavilion funded by the town government, I quickly rushed to the tombstone standing behind the pavilion. That is where the ancestors of the Tang family rest.
From the mottled marks on the tombstones, it can be seen that these tombstones are very old. The writing on the tombstones is also a bit blurry. However, Yu Fan still noticed the change in the expressions of the two old people the moment they looked at these tombstones. .As pious as a pilgrim. Yes. It is pious.
Many people say that the Chinese people today have no faith. But they don’t understand. What we believe in is our ancestors. Thousands of years of accumulation and inheritance of civilization give our ancestors enough reasons to become the people of us. They are all people who have made great contributions to the birth and reproduction of our nation. They are real beings who have given us bodies and wisdom. For these ancestors, our piety is not in our hearts. It is a kind of The piety that flows in the blood and goes deep into the bone marrow. As long as the blood of China exists, this belief will never disappear.
In front of the tombstone, under the leadership of Mr. and Mrs. Tang, the descendants of the Tang family also knelt in rows in front. Yu Fan was deeply moved by the sight of two old men over seventy years old kneeling on the gravel road. The devout worship of ancestors seems to have nothing to do with age. There is no **** at this moment. There is just a scene of a wanderer who has been wandering for many years and his descendants to trace their roots. This is something in the blood. .It has nothing to do with all political needs.
A large group of people watched this scene silently. No one made a sound. The entire worship ceremony was carried out in accordance with the customs of Huanbei. At the sound of firecrackers at the end, Mr. Tang's children also quickly moved their parents. He helped him up. Yu Fan could completely sense how excited the old man was at this moment. After the worship ceremony, Mr. Tang also turned around and shook hands with everyone to express his gratitude. When it was Yu Fan's turn, Mr. Tang He glanced at the newly built stele protection pavilion in front of the tombstone and said gratefully: "Thank you to the people in my hometown for everything they have done for me."
He nodded knowingly. Yu Fan said with a smile: "These are what we should do. The people in my hometown will not forget the congratulations that the old man has made for the cause of national independence." He nodded with a smile. Mr. Tang seemed to be sighing. "No matter what, I still want to express my gratitude to you." Yu Fan smiled slightly.
