The streets and alleys are full of Northeastern dialects with strong accents. The Northeastern dialect here is somewhat different from the Northeastern dialect in Heilong Province. The Northeastern dialect here seems to have an upward sound at the end of every sentence. The feeling of speaking is as if it is provoking. , in fact, this is just the speaking habit of people here, and it does not mean any provocation.
Ye Shaofeng didn't know the name of the city he was in, but he could clearly feel that the city where the provincial government was located was much cleaner and cleaner than the city he passed when he entered Changji City when he came out of the intersection. Much more stable.
There is no market here. The roads are lined with trees and the planning is quite good. In fact, every city is like this. In the same city, some places are poorer and some are relatively developed. , This is directly related to the government’s positioning and planning.
Just like in some cities, in certain areas, land is very valuable, and developers rushing to develop it may not be able to win the bid. In another area of the same city, no one cares about it, and no one develops there. It seems that There are becoming more and more backward.
Ye Shaofeng was curious for a moment, and relying on his memory when he came, he gradually rode his bicycle away from the urban area where the provincial government was located, and instead went to the economically backward place he passed by when he came just now.
That place is not far from here. If you ride a bicycle, you can get there in about an hour. In this case, you will miss the lunch. Ye Shaofeng called me Wang Shan and said that there were many things at the provincial government at noon, and it was time to eat and... There was a meeting, so he didn't go back at noon. The party in Longtang was moved to the evening, but he was also responsible for entertaining Chang Miaoke and the three of them, and they had a special meal here, but the general medicine was extravagant and wasteful. Don't throw a big banquet. If you want to eat and drink, wait until evening.
After finishing his instructions, Ye Shaofeng rode his bicycle towards the shabby urban area.
After walking for about forty minutes, Ye Shaofeng crossed a railway underpass. After exiting the underpass, he arrived at the backward urban area.
Ye Shaofeng was riding a bicycle in the city. The word "dirty" is the best way to describe it. There are basically no high-rise buildings here. The highest floor is the eleventh or second floor. Such residential buildings with eleven or two floors are not the same. There aren't many, and most of the rooms are vacant. The house prices here don't seem to be selling well, and the few residential areas developed here don't seem to be selling well either.
Not far away there are several unfinished buildings that cannot be built in the middle of construction. If you go further, there are basically no high-rise buildings. Most of them are four, five, five or six-story buildings built in the 1990s and early 1980s. This tube building is no different from the staff dormitories built in the late 1990s. The walls of many residential buildings have begun to peel off and they have become dangerous buildings. Isn't it dangerous for people to live here?
Below these buildings, in addition to the markets and farmers' markets, there are large shantytowns. It is generally rainy in the entire Northeast these days, and there have been several heavy rains in succession. The shantytowns have already been soaked by the rain. Irrigation, due to the lack of good drainage facilities, the originally narrow alley roads in the shanty towns are full of potholes and mud pits. People walking here wear rain boots, and some even wear slippers to walk in the mud.
Ye Shaofeng wanted to walk into the alley. This is a village in the city, but the bicycle's wheels were difficult to move in the mud. If ordinary people could not ride it, they could only push the bicycle forward. However, Ye Shaofeng's feet were amazing, as if he was walking in the mud. Just like riding a bicycle on the beach, as long as you have the strength, you can still ride it.
Ye Shaofeng trudged forward in the muddy alley. There was a large shanty town with no end at a glance. Next to the alley, garbage was piled in front of every house. It was summer, and the garbage piles were full of mosquitoes, and there were even some Meat maggots look disgusting.
This is a provincial capital city. As a provincial capital city, there should not be such urban villages in the first place. Such urban villages need to be renovated. Why doesn’t the government here think of ways to plan it? The calculation formula is cheap and the developers are recruited as much as possible. Come in, as long as developers come in, give them some policy encouragement and provide some benefits to the relocated households here, they will definitely be willing to move. Whether they make money or not is a trivial matter. Improving people's livelihood is the key.
Ye Shaofeng found a relatively clean, dry and loose ground to get in the car, and an elderly man walked across the road, carrying a bag of vegetables in his hand.
Ye Shaofeng quickly asked: "Hello, uncle,"
"What are you doing?" the old man asked with a puzzled look on his face. The man in sportswear in front of him was obviously not from their area. Just from his very standard Mandarin, you could tell that he was not from the Northeast at all.
"How many years have you lived here," Ye Shaofeng asked.
"Why do you ask?" the old man asked again.
Ye Shaofeng thought for a while and said: "I am a reporter from the newspaper. I came here to learn about the living conditions here, and then reflect them in the newspaper. When the officials see the situation here, they will improve it." Our living environment here, don’t you think it’s aggrieved to live in such a living environment?”
"It's frustrating, of course it's frustrating. Look at this shabby place. Is this a place where people live? I grew up in this kind of place. At first we were all from the same village. Now it's good that our household registrations have been divided into I have a city registered permanent residence, but I still live in a rural area. The city is getting bigger and bigger. Our place has never changed. Rich people have moved away long ago and no longer live here. I am a childless old man. , relying on the relief fund of two to three hundred per month, I can't leave even if I want to. Look at the vegetables I eat, they are all vegetable leaves picked up from the market.
It's useless. It's useless. The response is not once or twice. Who cares about the officials above? No one cares. The officials are just dogs. They all want to make money for themselves. As long as they make money, You don't care about the life and death of the people, young man, stop working so hard, it's of no use at all," the old man said cynically.
Looking at the old man's leaving figure, Ye Shaofeng felt a little sad. Building a city is important, and economic development is also a top priority, but what is the purpose of our development? It is not some GDP index or some economic growth rate indicator. What we want is To improve people's livelihood and improve people's living environment, even if we can't make everyone rich, we still can't let these people living in shantytowns not get social security, a healthy living environment, and not get A hope of life that should have belonged to them...
