Chapter seven hundred and forty-eight different poverty
Because something happened temporarily, Lin Yuan found Jiang Xin and told her the matter. Jiang Xin felt a little regretful. After all, she could not be as free as Lin Yuan. She could only say some blessings and wish Lin Yuan a safe journey.
While Lin Yuan booked a flight to Mianling in western Sichuan, he called Song Xiaomeng and told Song Xiaomeng that he needed her help to inspect Awang. I believe Mr. Song would agree.
Who knows, a call from Mr. Song came after a while.
"Lin Yuan, do you know how much trouble you have caused this time? How bold do you have to be to use gray organizations in the administrative area to cause explosions and riots, and then ask people from the Ministry of Public Security to coordinate the troops stationed in the administrative area! Ah? You still go to remote areas
Are you afraid of being scolded if you run?"
Lin Yuan could feel Mr. Song's anger, and the aura was as if spittle was about to fly out of the receiver.
However, this also proves that Mr. Song regards him as a relative. Otherwise, what does it matter if you live or die? Do you deserve to be so angry?
"Grandpa, you must have seen the relevant information. The cultural relics recovered this time are national treasures. From a professional perspective, some cultural relics are comparable to the Jiuding that has not yet been discovered. The inscriptions engraved with the Yellow Emperor's Foreign Canon, then
But it fills a lot of gaps.”
On the other side of the phone, there was still a roar: "Boy, if it weren't for the fact that what you did was beneficial to the country, I would have taken you back and had your legs broken! Do you know how many departments your Grandpa Yun and I have gone to? Accompany
How many smiles have you made? We have never begged someone like this in our lives!"
"Hey, grandpa, please calm down. The national treasure is something left by our ancestors. It can't be lost in our hands, right? Look, how many good things have been lost in the old society, and we are still being scolded today. We can't
Are you going to be scolded?"
Mr. Song's tone softened slightly: "This is indeed a matter of the administrative district, forget it. Come back here and stop going out all day to cause trouble. You and Xiaomeng are already engaged, but not married yet.
What does it mean to be together all day and night? Are you just going to be like this for the rest of your life?"
"Grandpa, please calm down. I always dream of solving personal problems with Xiaomeng as soon as possible. In this way, I will send you the information. You can see that the people here are almost isolated from the rest of the world, and the medical conditions are extremely poor. Many minor illnesses...
Just because I couldn't get treatment, I lost my life. I'm not just messing around, just take a look."
With that said, Lin Yuan sent all the photos and information of the volunteers to Song Xiaomeng. Lin Yuan believed that Song Xiaomeng must be beside Mr. Song.
After a while, Mr. Song probably read the information, and his tone became much better: "Xiao Lin, what you do can be regarded as relieving the country's worries. Okay, let Xiaomeng go with you, such a thing
, I won’t be so harsh. If it is done well, it will benefit the country and the people. But you have to remember that you and Xiaomeng are not a legal couple yet, so remember this!"
Lin Yuan was really dumbfounded. Meeting such an old antique made you feel like there was a rope around your neck at any time.
But Lin Yuan really had no choice but to deal with it carefully, and waited until Mr. Song finished giving a political lesson before hanging up the phone.
Lin Yuan quickly contacted Song Xiaomeng again, brought Kazuki Watanabe with him, and gathered at Mianling.
Mingling in western Sichuan is an important town in the southwest of western Sichuan, and it is also a boundary of western Sichuan's geo-economy. From Mingling to the east, there is a very prosperous industrial zone, while to the west, it is a primitive economic zone that is gradually entering depression.
Lin Yuan waited for a day in western Sichuan, and Song Xiaomeng and Kazuki Watanabe arrived. Two days later, two researchers sent by Xu Wenbin, Zeng Jianming and Zhou Huamian, came with some enthusiasm from Xinyuan Charity.
The charitable travel companion arrived.
We all had a decent dinner in Mianling and set off the next day towards the Ngawang area.
Forty kilometers beyond Mianling, the highway becomes a provincial-scale two-way road.
Once it turns from the provincial road, it becomes a county-level highway only seven or eight meters wide.
After traveling for a few dozen kilometers, it turned into a dirt road filled with potholes.
Just when everyone thought this might be the worst road, everyone was dumbfounded by the sight that appeared in front of them.
The endless yellow land has no crops, no vegetation, and no roads. This is probably what people usually mean when they say they have walked more than ten miles.
If there is no road, then the only way to walk is on the ground?
Fortunately, there are experienced travel friends around. They have rich experience. They can use the compass to determine the direction and can generally determine the direction of Ngawang.
China has a vast territory and abundant resources, which cannot be appreciated by people traveling by train or plane. Only when you go to a place like this can you truly understand what it means to be vast.
The convoy walked for a day and a night before they saw sparse vegetation.
With the vegetation, everyone feels much better. Moving forward, we can see the original ecological Awang area that people yearn for endlessly.
There are very few communication base stations here, and there are very few areas covered by wireless signals. Finally, we reached a place with signal, and finally contacted volunteer Luan Xin.
Lin Yuan had a very good first impression of this young man in his mid-twenties, with a medium build, a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and slightly dark skin. He looked like a tough man from a pastoral area.
What made everyone envious was that Luan Xin came to pick up everyone on horseback. Along with Luan Xin, there were several local herdsmen.
The Ngawang area is close to Tibetan areas, so the customs here are similar to those in Tibetan areas.
It can be seen that Luan Xin's prestige is still very high among the herdsmen. Under the command of Luan Xin, several local people received Lin Yuan and his party in a grand manner.
To everyone's surprise, the living standards of the locals are not as extremely poor as imagined. Every family has home appliances. Although this is somewhat similar to the situation on the southeastern coast of China in the early 1980s, it may be
In such a remote area, it is pretty good to have such a situation.
Lin Yuan couldn't help but discount Luan Xin's impression of Luan Xin, and based on the information he gave Xu Wenbin, it was said that the situation in the Awang area was very difficult. If it was considered difficult, then more than 40% of places in the country would not
The law has spoken.
Luan Xin saw the change in Lin Yuan's attitude, and without any excuse, asked the herdsmen to settle down the group while he personally entertained Lin Yuan.
No matter where you are, the most sincere thing about hospitality is eating.
The things on display are not luxurious, but they are very practical. A sheep was slaughtered, its head, tripe and liver, good rib meat, and sheep blood were all brought up, as well as highland barley wine and tsampa.
When Luan Xin saw Lin Yuan sitting still, he smiled and cut off a piece of sheep head meat with a dagger and handed it to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan knew that this was local etiquette and a form of respect for the distinguished guests. He took it, ate the meat, and put down the dagger.
"Doctor Luan, after all we are colleagues, let's stop talking nonsense. Is this what you call difficult conditions?" Lin Yuan said, pointing to a large pile of sumptuous food.
"Haha, President Lin, please be patient and wait until I show you a few things and you will understand."
With that said, Luan Xin brought over a box.
Lin Yuan knew this thing. It was the size of a simple first aid kit. It usually contained simple equipment and some commonly used medicines. It was an essential artifact for rural doctors in remote areas, or what was called the barefoot doctor.
Luan Xin opened the box. Inside was a stethoscope, a blood pressure monitor and some other simple medical equipment.
As an expert, Lin Yuan could tell at a glance that these things were old.
As for stethoscopes, they are still obsolete, the kind with a leather tube connected to the earpiece. This kind of leather tube has excellent elasticity. Lin Yuan used this leather tube to make a slingshot when he was a child. It is the best material for slingshots.
Lin Yuanyi frowned and said, "Dr. Luan, you don't always use this thing to treat herders, do you?"
"Haha, this is something my senior left for me. It is said that it is even older than me."
"No, as far as I know, the state provides subsidies for this."
"Ahem, it's a drop in the bucket. The country spends a huge amount on subsidizing medical equipment in remote places every year, but it can't support us in China. Here, it's not that much. President Lin, you are also a doctor, you said
, is it more important to replace a usable medical device, or to purchase urgently needed medicines?”
Lin Yuan silently said that even if it were him, he would still buy medicines. Although such equipment is outdated, it can still be used.
Luan Xin picked up the dagger that Lin Yuan had put down, cut a piece of plump lamb rib, and handed it to Lin Yuan.
"President Lin, this is the best place in the Ngawang area. The conditions of those herdsmen in remote places, well... the state will also subsidize the herdsmen on a per capita basis, but the cost of these subsidies will not be paid all year round.
And in the face of severe natural disasters, it is still a drop in the bucket."
Lin Yuan took the rib meat and said apologetically: "Doctor Luan, I misunderstood you a little, and I apologize to you."
"Haha, there is no problem with this. Since President Lin can come, it means he is caring. If I care about this aspect, then I am not a man."
"Doctor Luan, since that's the case, why don't we set out now to see what kind of living conditions those poor herdsmen are living."
"This is really not possible. The remote herdsmen's location is too far away from us. It is impossible to drive at all. Even with the help of horses, we cannot run away. We have to walk for a while and run for a while. In the end, we have to run.
Stay there. If we go now, it will get dark halfway, and maybe we will run into wild wolves."
Lin Yuan listened and nodded repeatedly. It seems that the poverty situation in the Ngawang area is very complicated, and solving the problem is also quite difficult.
Luan Xin said with a smile: "President Lin, don't just think about things, have a drink quickly. If the guests don't enjoy themselves while drinking, the local fellows will think that they have not entertained the guests well."
After hearing this, Lin Yuan became bold and heroic, picked up the highland barley wine, and drank happily with Luan Xin and the accompanying herdsmen.
