The following interviews were all recorded on March 1, 2149, three years after the "sun disappeared".
The interview locations were relatively scattered, involving multiple shelters that accepted refugees from Shelter No. 1 in Xiongan New Area, but the specific number is unknown.
The program was filmed and recorded by the First Central Axis Interview Team and broadcast in shelters around the world on April 15 of the same year.
"Please introduce yourself first." The reporter is a girl named An Yichu. She is the first special commissioner of the Central Axis. She is about 27 or 27 years old. She is dressed in classic ol attire and has an intellectual appearance.
Very stable feeling.
"What?" Interviewee No. 1 was a little embarrassed. He probably didn't expect that more than a year had passed since the incident, and someone would actually come looking for him.
He had just gotten off work. On his way back, he bought some fruits that he would never bear to buy. His eyes were bloodshot and his hands were wrapped in bandages. He looked very tired.
"Just briefly introduce yourself, for example, your name, your current identity, where you were when Vault 1 was invaded, etc."
"I..." The man suddenly became depressed after hearing the prompt clearly. He lowered his head and seemed a little embarrassed.
After a long time, he raised his head and replied, "I...my name is Han Dadong. Now, uh...can't you tell me the specific shelter number?"
"Yes." An Yichu nodded.
"Well..." At this time, Han Dadong seemed much more mature and decadent than he had been more than a year ago.
After thinking for a long time, he finally remembered his former identity.
"Now I am a workshop maintenance worker, mainly repairing equipment... As for before, I was a community service worker when I was in Shelter 1, but then I was infected... This... don't be afraid
, I have already done a comprehensive examination." It seemed that he noticed An Yichu quietly moving his chair back, and Han Dadong's sensitivity made him quickly try to comfort him.
But An Yichu looked at Han Dadong calmly and said, "Please don't worry. We already knew your identity before we came here, so there is no fear or resistance. I just felt that this stool was a little hard."
, I may have misunderstood you, I’m so sorry.”
Only then did Han Dadong feel relieved.
It can be thought of that more than a year ago, Xiongan New District Shelter No. 1 finally received support. He, a former infected person who stayed on the 79th floor living zone for 61 days, did not receive a hero's courtesy.
…but isolation and isolation…
The isolation is still bearable, after all, no one can guarantee that he will really recover.
But the isolation is something that Han Dadong cannot face no matter what.
Because even his comrades who fought alongside him showed wariness and disgust towards him after being rescued by the rescue team.
"That's really embarrassing..." Han Dadong became silent again.
An Yichu was relatively calm. She checked about Han Dadong's deeds and his living performance ratings after being assigned to other shelters. They were all excellent... But so far, protests still exist.
Even in 2148, prejudice is still so deep-rooted.
"I have read your personal deeds and the report that first attracted the attention of various countries. You are worthy of the title of 'hero' and deserve a better job and placement. But... why did you choose to come here to be a
Where is the repairman?" An Yichu asked.
Han Dadong thought for a while and replied, "What do you mean by a hero? Because you feel that your life is worthless, so you try your best to pay it back, and then you survive in a daze and you become a hero? I don't think so... I
I don’t think I’m a hero, at least compared to x, y and others, I’m not a hero, at most I’m just a lucky bastard.”
Hearing Han Dadong belittle himself in this way, An Yichu was unexpectedly embarrassed. After all, the original intention of this program was to inject the message and vitality of perseverance into the increasingly depressed world. Compared with the "worship" that currently exists in most shelters
Doctrine and "failure and sinking" doctrine, the former Shelter No. 1 in Xiongan New District was simply a hell on earth... Therefore, some people proposed that if some typical examples of Shelter No. 1 in Xiongan New District could be established and publicized through interviews and reports
If we go out, maybe it can inject new vitality into the whole world like a shot in the arm?
Han Dadong didn't understand the meaning behind this interview. He was still so upright and answered whatever came to his mind. He couldn't read the script, and An Yichu didn't prepare a script. She was just one of the interviewers. In fact, for this
During the program, the Fenghuo Council sent out a hundred reporters at the same time, and the number of interviewees reached a thousand, and Han Dadong was just the first target on An Yichu's interview list.
"Your statement still seems to contain a lot of guilt. May I ask, do you still insist that the fault experienced by consciousness itself is not affected by domination or not?" An Yichu used a rather strange statement.
Han Dadong thought about it and didn't quite understand.
But he remembered that this was a statement used by the first psychiatrist he saw after being rescued.
The doctor and Han Dadong told a story... The content of the story is relatively simple, and it is based on real events and is not purely fictional.
It roughly tells the story of how after a catastrophic/accident happened, the survivors had to eat the corpses of their companions to survive. These people once caused serious social controversy after returning to civilized society.
There are many people who consider themselves to be models of civilized morality who insist that the survival of these people is extremely evil and should be punished by law. However, another group of people are braver and put forward new theories, which are currently more mainstream in terms of law and human ethics.
The theoretical point is that in extreme circumstances, when no one can expect these survivors to survive without eating the corpses of their companions, those of us in a civilized society cannot use the moral standards of a civilized society without authorization.
To evaluate whether their behavior constitutes a crime, it also blocks the cause of the violation and should not bear corresponding legal responsibility.
To put it simply, it’s just one sentence.
If you don't know the suffering of others, don't encourage others to do good.
Don't just stand and talk without pain, always thinking that you are the pinnacle of morality. In fact, if you are in the same situation, the so-called civilization and morality may deteriorate even more completely.
Doctors, Han Dadong and other survivors, especially those who were infected and later overcame the erosion of their divinity and returned to the embrace of civilization, tell such a story. The main purpose is to help them overcome their psychological barriers and prevent them from returning to civilization.
Society is still in a "sick state".
The story is easy to understand...but the nightmare lingers.
"I understand what you are saying, and I also understand that you have good intentions, but perhaps by constantly blaming myself and punishing myself, it may be easier for me to clearly realize the mistakes I have made... To be honest,
I originally planned to become an ascetic, but considering that the world is suffering so much, it would be too cunning if I shaved my head and became a monk, wouldn't it?" Han Dadong said with a smile.
An Yichu looked at Han Dadong in surprise, probably not expecting this tall and innocent-looking man to say such a thing.
"So...you have adapted to life here now, right?"
Han Dadong nodded, "Yes."
"You also know that the people here do not welcome your arrival, right?"
Han Dadong nodded again, but he said calmly, "I know that I have a special status, and it is normal for everyone to have concerns, but I don't think this is a bad thing."
"Huh? Why do you say that?"
Han Dadong explained, "Actually, you see... In the past, many people tried to tell people around them that they should be in awe of the world, learn to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and know how to be grateful and introspective. But most of us, including myself, would feel that
These people are so worried that they even think they are full...but in fact, even if the 'sun' has not disappeared, in the past century or so, those who have personally experienced disasters will share with you candidly and enthusiastically
Their understanding and feelings of this kind of awe... Now that the 'disappearance of the sun' has become a fact, there are still many people who think that as long as there is a refuge, it is nothing more than a different way of living. Everyone is concerned about disasters, the future, and themselves.
My thoughts and preparations stopped again... But after what happened in Xiongan, I found that everyone's mentality changed, especially when they learned that we survivors would be mixed together and assigned to various shelters.
I was all panicking... Of course I could prove in various ways that I was safe and harmless, but then I felt... If I was labeled a 'virus' by everyone, it could be used as a warning sign, and maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing after all.
In this way, most people will cherish everything now more than in the past...especially the people around you...Unlike me...I didn't even have time to say goodbye to my mother and my brother, and then...
I will never find them again."
An Yichu listened quietly. She listened attentively throughout the whole process. At the end, her eyes clearly showed sympathy.
"So...you think fear might be a good thing for the people here?"
Han Dadong waved his hand quickly, "No, no, no, fear is actually a weak mentality. This is what Mr. Tang told me. I don't want me to be a spreader of fear, and I don't want you to misunderstand me. What I want to say is...
It's awe, it's cherishment, it's thinking about how to solve problems, rather than being timid. We need courage now, don't we?"
An Yichu nodded seriously, and then asked curiously, "Who is this Mr. Tang you just mentioned?"
"Tang Mingzhong, his name was on the earliest list of honorable persons. I personally took the old man's body out. He taught me a lot... It feels like my grandfather. I respect him very much." Han Dadong said with a smile.
, but his eyes were already full of tears.
An Yichu nodded, "I can see that you really respect him."
"um, yes."
"Then... there is one last question." An Yichu sorted out her emotions. She originally thought that this time it would be a failure at the beginning, but now she feels very surprised and very satisfied.
"Um... have you ever participated in a special operation aimed at freeing more infected people from primitive control and returning to civilization as a whole? Is there such an operation?" An Yichu asked.
Han Dadong replied without hesitation, "Yes, but it failed. I was deeply impressed by that mission, and it is one of the reasons why I still can't forgive myself until now."
An Yichu asked curiously, "Oh? Can you tell us the details of this operation and why it ended in failure?"
Han Dadong once again replied without hesitation, "Sorry, I have compiled and reported the details in my personal file. The confidentiality agreement I signed does not allow me to disclose the content of the operation and other related matters on any occasion, so... I'm sorry."
An Yichu was a little surprised, but she didn't embarrass Han Dadong. She nodded, "Okay, then...that's it for today's interview. Thank you for taking your precious time to cooperate with our interview."
Han Dadong stood up and shook hands with An Yichu in front of the camera and said, "I'm looking forward to your show."
An Yichu smiled and nodded, "You must tune in then."
"OK."
…
Interviewer No. 2 is also in the same shelter, but not on the same floor as Han Dadong.
When he saw An Yichu, his face was stern, as if he didn't welcome the arrival of these people. But he was indeed on the list to be interviewed... After An Yichu saw him, he could only bite the bullet and come over.
.
"Can you please introduce yourself?" An Yichu said as gently as possible.
The man glanced at the camera, sat upright, and replied, "My name is Gong Xingyu. I am now a pipe network system inspector. I was a member of the special service team in Xiongan."
An Yichu knew Gong Xingyu's identity, but she just didn't expect this man to be so serious.
"Oh, hello, I am a special interview reporter from the First Central Axis. My name is An Yichu."
"Hello." Gong Xingyu just nodded slightly, still looking at the camera intentionally or unintentionally from the corner of his eye.
"Um...can we start?"
Gong Xingyu nodded.
"Excuse me, are you satisfied with your current work arrangements?"
"Satisfied." Gong Xingyu's Huda is simple and concise, without any unnecessary nonsense.
But this puts An Yichu in a bit of a dilemma. Compared to Gong Xingyu, she prefers Han Dadong who can take the initiative to express his feelings. After all, what she needs now is a report that can touch people's hearts.
"But before I came, I did some research. It seems that you have had many conflicts with people here, right?"
Gong Xingyu looked at An Yichu, frowned slightly, and then asked something strange, "So you're not here to interview me? Are you here to investigate me?"
An Yichu was immediately embarrassed. She quickly waved her hand and explained, "Ah, no, no, in fact, the focus of our interview is to make a program based on your experience, and then broadcast it through editing. The purpose is to let more people
People understand what happened in Shelter No. 1 in Xiongan New District, which inspires everyone's confidence and vitality... Well... I guess you should also know by now that the current overall living atmosphere in each shelter is very depressing. Everyone is wondering whether
People are gradually losing confidence in overcoming disasters. This is not a good sign, is it?"
Hearing this, Gong Xingyu understood. He looked at the camera and said, "So, this isn't a live broadcast, is it?"
An Yichu also looked at the camera and replied, "Ah... yes, this is a recording. We will take the video data back for further screening and editing."
Gong Xingyu had already turned back to look at An Yichu, and he said, "In other words, the part about interviewing me may not be broadcast, but your senior management will definitely see it, right?"
An Yichu was a little confused about what Gong Xingyu meant. She asked doubtfully, "What do you want to express?"
Gong Xingyu took a deep breath and said, "Actually, I understand what you mean, but just through this kind of program, it is impossible to encourage everyone to continue to persevere and work hard to increase production efficiency and fertility rate. If you really want to do it,
If you want to know some real facts, you should tell them what you are doing on the space station, the disclosure of some details about the "disappearance of the sun", and the current research progress of scientists on the "disappearance of the sun". These are the things that can really inspire people.
It's not by interviewing me or other survivors, and then letting everyone cry together. It's useless, you know? Don't treat the world as a fool. If you don't give them hope, don't expect them to go to bed honestly.
Don’t expect them to give birth in a shelter after work, this kind of thing needs something real to motivate and awaken, you know what I mean?”
An Yichu was stunned for a moment by what Gong Xingyu said. It took her a long time to understand what Gong Xingyu meant.
It's not that this girl is more honest, but that she didn't expect that Gong Xingyu would directly deny all her interviews.
"So...you don't really think much of this interview, do you?"
Gong Xingyu sneered when he heard this, and said with a dismissive tone, "It's not a problem that is not optimistic, but something that I think is ridiculous, even shameless...'Sun' has disappeared for three years, has the official said something positive?"
Have you responded to everyone's deepest expectations? You are on the first axis in your work and life, so tell me frankly, do you know what the top management is doing now? Where is the progress? Have we sent our people to the sun?
Have a look over there?”
An Yichu was shocked by Gong Xingyu's successive questions.
Although she knew that she could not answer Gong Xingyu's sensitive questions in front of the camera, her eyes were completely blank.
Gong Xingyu saw that this female reporter was also a chess piece who didn't know everything.
So Gong Xingyu stood up in disappointment and said, "Don't broadcast my part, but I hope... If possible, please convey my intention. I want to apply for the job of an astronaut, even if I am put into a box and launched."
It's okay to go to the sun, I'm willing to give up my life...Okay...that's all."
After saying that, Gong Xingyu slammed the door and left.
