Zhaojiatun is a village focused on maintaining stability by the government.
In the past two years, the survival rate of the crops cultivated has been extremely low. Especially this year, the seedlings planted in the spring have died in patches, showing signs of no harvest. Many elderly people in the village have died of cancer. Is it caused by the pollution in the industrial park? Related
The department has not made a conclusion, let alone compensation or responsibility.
The villagers have made quarrels many times, but nothing has been achieved. Some left in disappointment, while others are still holding on. Most young people have gone to the city to work. The already depressed village is now becoming more and more dilapidated.
A self-built two-story building on a homestead seems to be only half completed. Not only is the interior undecorated, there are no doors or windows on the second floor. Only the room on the left side of the first floor is barely habitable.
Inside the house, Zhao Tiezhu, who is in his sixties, and his seven-year-old granddaughter Zhao Niuniu, are sitting at the kang table, making millet porridge and steamed buns. The exposed red brick wall has no decoration, only two photo frames are hung. The photos are black and white photos of the deceased.
One picture is Zhao Tiezhu's wife, and the other picture is his son Zhao Guomin.
Last year, Lao Zhao's son was riding a motorcycle back to the village from the provincial capital dozens of miles away. He accidentally fell into a smelly lake two miles east of the village. In the past, it was a low-lying wasteland. Since the construction of the industrial park, it has become a wasteland.
The "sewage pools" of dozens of pharmaceutical companies have accumulated sewage, covering thousands of acres of wasteland, and the smell is overwhelming.
A few days after Lao Zhao's son fell into the water and was rescued, he contracted acute pneumonia, and rescue efforts failed. He passed away. Stimulated by the huge pain of the white-haired man leaving the black-haired man, Lao Zhao's wife suffered a cerebral infarction and went to look for his son. Two games
Not long after the funeral, Lao Zhao's daughter-in-law took away all the family's belongings, abandoned her children, and disappeared.
Successive incidents almost destroyed the family.
The cause was that his son fell into a sewage lake and fell ill. Lao Zhao ran around to seek justice for his son and the family, but he was kicked around like a ball. He was angry and helpless. In anger, he ordered the park management committee to
We went to court, but the court held that the evidence was insufficient and the facts were unclear.
Lao Zhao lost the lawsuit and was blocked from petitioning many times. When he was frustrated, another bad news came. He was not feeling well some time ago and was transferred to many hospitals. Finally, he was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer at the Affiliated Hospital of the Medical University in the provincial capital and could not live for half a year.
.
Fate always seems to like to make poor people endure more pain and helplessness.
Lao Zhao looked at his granddaughter while eating, his heart pounding. He was gone, what would happen to little Niuniu?
"Old Zhao, Mayor Wang is here to inspect the park today. There are reporters following the interview. Many people in the village are discussing asking for an explanation. You may try it too, maybe you can gain something." Wang Cuilan, a widow who lives next door, opened the door and came in, putting down her hands.
A bowl filled with steaming crispy fried cakes.
When Lao Zhao heard this, his eyes narrowed and he had an idea.
Anyway, if he is going to die, then he should die in a grand way and make the news. His family affairs, including the lonely little girl, will attract attention.
"Let me think about it..." Lao Zhao
The kind-hearted Wang Cuilan's mother nodded, pinched Niu Niu's cheek, and left like a gust of wind.
"Grandpa, eat..." Niu Niu fiddled with her chopsticks and struggled to pick up the fried cake and put it in Grandpa's bowl. Old Zhao looked at his sensible granddaughter, his nose felt sour and he wanted to cry.
Niuniu, live well.
Grandpa can't accompany you anymore.
Old Zhao muttered in his heart, holding back the heartbreaking sadness, lowered his head to eat, and after lunch, he went out to borrow half a barrel of gasoline, poured it into a two-liter Coke bottle, and then went to find Wang Cuilan next door and entrust her to take care of it.
Niuniu, after settling everything, Lao Zhao got on the motorcycle left by his son and left.
Little Niuniu seemed to have a premonition of something, and she cried and refused to let her grandpa go.
Old Zhao did not hesitate, sighed, picked up Niu Niu, put it in front of him, started the motorcycle, and when the joint defense team patrolling the village entrance was not paying attention, he rushed out on the motorcycle and went straight to the industrial park.
After the ribbon-cutting inspection, Wang Yiming queued up for a meal in a company cafeteria in the park. He sat with the workers and ate a big pot of rice, making a homely meal and looking approachable.
The camera crew was busy running back and forth, recording all the scenes of Mayor Wang being close to the people and taking the mass line.
After the meal, the park management committee, the heads of various enterprises, and a large number of workers bid farewell to Wang Yiming in a grand manner. Just as Wang Yiming waved goodbye and was about to get into the car.
Lao Zhao, who was mixed in with the farewell crowd, suddenly jumped out and shouted solemnly: "Mayor Wang, my son and his wife died unjustly, you have to make the decision for our family."
The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant. Countless pairs of eyes looked at Old Zhao blankly. The personnel in charge of the security department of the city bureau were shocked. Before they could react, Old Zhao poured the gasoline he carried on himself and lit it with a lighter. There was a bang...
.living people burn.
"grandfather...."
Niu Niu cried and squeezed out of the crowd and rushed towards her grandfather.
Someone calmed down and tried to pull the little girl, but it was too late. The fire instantly swallowed up Niu Niu's weak figure. It was shocking. Many people screamed. Wang Yiming, who was tightly surrounded by his entourage, turned pale.
"Murderer!" A villager who entered the park to cause trouble angrily pointed at Wang Yiming, which aroused the sympathy of his fellow travelers. Dozens of people came forward and threw eggs prepared in advance at Wang Yiming. Security personnel stepped forward to stop him, and the two sides scuffled.
The employees of various companies who acted as the farewell team were at a loss, and the park management committee was immediately dumbfounded.
"Mayor, go quickly."
The secretary pushed Wang Yiming into the Audi car.
The convoy hurried away, the troublemakers were controlled, and the fire was extinguished. Lao Zhao and Niu Niu were badly injured and waiting for first aid. The director of the park management committee couldn't wait to report to Wang Yiming that the matter was calmed down.
Wang Yiming breathed a sigh of relief and drove to the city in his motorcade. However, the matter did not end there. When 1 arrived, the villagers in Shiliba Village near the park broke out completely when they learned that the grandfather and grandson were having an affair.
The angry crowd rushed into the park and smashed the management committee office building and police cars. The rapidly spreading news attracted more people who did not know the truth to gather in the park.
When Wang Yiming returned to the city hall building, he learned that the situation had taken a turn for the worse and was almost out of control. He suddenly realized that he should not have left at the beginning of the incident. This departure was tantamount to running away from the battlefield.
Mobilize the military and police to suppress.
Control the media and block news.
Wang Yiming thought of a remedy and quickly arranged it.
Paper cannot contain fire.
That night, photos of grandparents and villagers smashing things together appeared on the Internet, accompanied by inflammatory texts, which quickly spread. As more and more outrageous rumors spread, the Xijing Municipal Government's temporary emergency team hired multiple professionals to delete the posts.
The company, but the brothers who collected money and laundered the land were so busy that their hands cramped, and it didn't help.
………………………
Because Hong Sihai hosted a banquet for Yang Chen, a group of social eldest brothers gathered with their wives and children in the banquet hall on the third floor of the Pearl Hotel. Word spread about what happened in the industrial park, and the lively banquet hall suddenly fell silent. The eldest brothers thought that Wang Yiming might be unlucky because of this, and whispered to each other.
, excited discussion.
"Young Master Yang, what do you think about this..."
"Currently, no ministerial or deputy ministerial official has been dismissed because of corruption." Yang Chen smiled faintly, implying that Wang Yiming should be able to overcome this hurdle.
The prerequisite is that Yang Chen has never been offended.
