Chapter 643 Hong Kong Experts on the Front Line of Flood Fighting
The second peak of the flood arrived three days later.
The cadres and masses across the county worked hard to rescue and finally ensured that the embankment was safe. Most of the embankment sections in Luhua Town were in danger. Fortunately, the rescue measures were effective and the difficulties were barely overcome.
For four or five days in a row, Fan Hongyu fought on the front line of flood control. It was not until the second wave of floods passed safely that he took the time to return to the county government dormitory, take a good shower, and put on a clean and comfortable cotton suit.
Pajamas, and had a good sleep.
Early the next morning, Fan Hongyu went to work in the county government office, preparing to deal with the backlog of official business over the past few days.
Although flood control is a top priority, daily work cannot be completely suspended.
From a distance, I saw Chen Xia and Dong Quanqing chatting and talking at the door of the county government office building. Dong Quanqing looked slightly excited, waving his arms and making gestures, while Chen Xia just smiled and shook her head, but her expression was very determined.
"Professor Dong, what's wrong?"
Fan Hongyu quickly quickened his pace, walked over, and asked with a smile.
When Chen Xia saw Fan Hongyu, she breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "County Magistrate, you are finally here, it's great..."
It sounds like Director Chen has encountered a huge problem and doesn't know how to deal with it. These days, several county magistrates and deputy magistrates spend most of their time in Yanhu District to guide flood control work. The daily work of the county government is basically handled by Chen Xia.
"Director Chen, what's the matter?"
"Oh, please persuade Professor Dong. He insists on going to the front line to participate in flood fighting and rescue work... Not only is he going, but Hong Kong experts are also going. No matter how hard I try, I can't persuade him."
Chen Xia said hurriedly, with an incredible look on her face.
There are actually people vying to do such a thing?
Pure voluntary labor without any reward, only danger.
If anything happens to Hong Kong experts on the front line of flood control, the problem will be huge. Chen Xia feels that she cannot bear such responsibility. Just as she was about to call Fan Hongyu for instructions, County Magistrate Fan came.
Dong Quanqing also said: "County Magistrate Fan, you are here just in time. We want to go to the towns by the lake to participate in flood fighting and rescue operations. Please approve it."
Fan Hongyu said with a smile: "Professor Dong, thank you Hong Kong experts for their strong support for our county's flood fighting and rescue work. At present, there are enough manpower, it is better for the experts to stay in the county, and the research and inspection work is also very important."
Dong Quanqing said seriously: "County Magistrate Fan, research and inspection work is very important. This is our job. But no matter what kind of work, it is not as important as flood fighting and rescue operations. When encountering such a natural disaster, we do not need any
There is a reason, we must participate. Otherwise, we will not be able to forgive ourselves. This is our value concept, please understand it, County Magistrate Fan."
Fan Hongyu was in awe.
Just because when Dong Quanqing said these words, there was no hint of delicacy and pretentiousness. It was as natural as saying that people must eat and drink water to live. After this month of contact, Fan Hongyu has a more comprehensive and clear understanding of these Hong Kong experts.
Zhi, both in terms of character and knowledge, can indeed be regarded as an elite model. I remember Tang Min once told him on the phone that the twelve experts were personally selected by Ling Hefan, and all of them were interviewed in person.
Ling Hefan is a perfectionist in a sense.
"Professor Dong, I admire your spirit very much. Since everyone has this request, Director Chen, please arrange a car to take the experts to Shiyuan, and ask Comrade Gu Yunfeng to do the reception work."
Fan Hongyu made a decision immediately.
Judging from the flood fighting and rescue situation in the past few days, Shiyuan District is the relatively safest front line for flood fighting. Gu Yunfeng has worked hard some time ago, and the reinforcement of the flood control levees has been completed most thoroughly. Two consecutive waves of flood peaks have passed.
The Shiyuan levee is all safe and sound and has withstood the actual test of floods. Fan Hongyu feels more at ease when experts are asked to go to Shiyuan.
Chen Xia was startled and said quickly: "County Magistrate, this...isn't it appropriate?"
Hong Kong experts.
Although an article was published in the "Current Affairs Forum" not long ago, which severely questioned Yunhu County's approach as "taking the capitalist road", when it comes to individual Hong Kong experts, it is still "precious". No matter what
It is said that professors and doctors from Hong Kong came all the way to Yunhu to conduct free inspections and surveys, give free classes to cadres, and have a meal with everyone. It is indeed very rare.
It should be noted that even in Hong Kong, they still have the status of "superior people", with a salary of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars a month. What kind of good things have they not enjoyed?
Now Fan Hongyu actually asked experts to go to the front line of flood fighting and rescue operations. If something goes wrong, how can he afford it?
Maybe it will lead to a huge "diplomatic accident".
At present, Hong Kong has not yet officially returned to China, but it has reached the most critical moment. Some Western hostile forces are trying every possible means to undermine the general trend of Hong Kong's return. If something happens, someone will definitely make a fuss about it. Once such a big event happens,
It's really no fun to talk about it when it's involved. Lei Lei, the senior executive, is furious and someone has to use Wu Shamao to explain it.
"Director Chen, that's very appropriate."
Dong Quanqing was afraid that something might happen again, so he spoke before Fan Hongyu's head, with a worried look on his face.
"No, Professor Dong, I'm not doubting you... doubting your feelings towards our county... Key flood control and rescue work is a highly technical job that requires a certain amount of experience. People with no experience go to the front line of flood control.
Not only will it not be helpful, but it will... also distract the energy of other comrades..."
Chen Xia hurriedly explained, but she still paid more attention to her words.
Dong Quanqing said: "Don't worry, Director Chen, we will not be a burden. Hong Kong Island is surrounded by the sea. Every typhoon season, there is also flood prevention work to be done. We have basic common sense and some experience."
A smile flashed across Fan Hongyu's face.
This time, he did not quite agree with Dong Quanqing's point of view. Hong Kong's flood control work and the lake area's flood control work are not the same thing. At least Hong Kong's seawalls have almost never been heard of requiring temporary rescue and reinforcement. In non-typhoons
Season has already done this work.
But naturally there is no need to argue with Dong Quanqing about this matter.
"Professor Dong, I agree with you to go to Shiyuan Town, but I also have conditions."
Fan Hongyu said seriously.
"Okay, Magistrate Fan, just say so."
"I have two conditions. First, all experts must act in groups and cannot act alone. When I go to the lower towns, many people do not speak Mandarin, and there will be problems in language communication. Second, the experts must obey the district
The unified arrangements of the local and town leaders cannot be carried out on their own. Flood fighting and rescue operations are collective actions and must be organized and disciplined."
"No problem, we fully accept these two conditions put forward by County Magistrate Fan. However, Magistrate Fan, I also have a condition."
Fan Hongyu asked with great interest: "What are the conditions for Professor Dong?"
"We are not going to Shiyuan Town, we are going to Luhua Town."
Fan Hongyu was surprised and said: "Go to Luhua Town? Why?"
"It's very simple. We heard that Luhua Town is currently in the most dangerous situation, and we hope to go to the places where manpower is most needed. County Magistrate Fan, we are going to fight against floods, not just to show off, but to play a real role."
Dong Quanqing looked at Fan Hongyu and said seriously.
Magistrate Fan's wishful thinking was discovered, and he suddenly became a little embarrassed.
In agreeing with Hong Kong experts to go to the front line of flood fighting and rescue operations, Fan Hongyu wanted to set an example for the county's cadres and masses. Let everyone see that people living under the capitalist system also have good moral values and world views.
The outlook on life does not mean that all three views are destroyed and all evil is unforgivable.
It can also be regarded as a side response to the critical article written by the empress dowager.
You are aloof, pointing fingers, criticizing and questioning, but Hong Kong experts are not only doing practical work, but also on the front line of flood control.
Which one is better and which one is worse is clear at a glance.
As for letting Dong Quanqing and others go to Shiyuan Town, it is naturally for their safety. To be honest, in such a large-scale flood fighting and rescue operation, adding a dozen Hong Kong experts to the flood fighting front line will not add much actual strength.
The symbolic significance of this matter is far greater than the practical significance.,
Unexpectedly, Dong Quanqing saw through his "trick".
"No, Professor Dong, Luhua Town is too dangerous."
Fan Hongyu shook his head flatly and refused.
Dong Quanqing also has a very stubborn character, and immediately said: "County Magistrate Fan, it is precisely because Luhua Town is dangerous that we need more manpower. Good steel is used on the blade. We know that the situation in Shiyuan is relatively safe, so we went there and had nothing to do.
So what are we going to do?"
Chen Xia couldn't help but secretly laugh.
Professor Dong, you are very powerful if you engage in academic research and help capitalists make money, but when it comes to flood fighting and emergency rescue, you can't be considered a "good piece of steel", right?
Quite confident.
"County Magistrate Fan, we have already discussed that if you don't agree with us going to Luhua Town, then we will go there ourselves. Anyway, Luhua Town is not far from here, only a few kilometers away."
Without waiting for Fan Hongyu's reply, Dong Quanqing spoke again in a very firm tone.
County Magistrate Fan suddenly lost his mind.
If people have made up their minds and must go, they can't ask the police to guard them all and not allow them to leave the hotel, right?
As Dong Quanqing said, Luhua Town was once one of their key inspection locations. Those who are familiar with the roads are not afraid of not finding the place.
"Okay, Professor Dong, I agree with you to go to Luhua Town. However, I must reiterate the two conditions I just mentioned. We must act collectively and obey the unified dispatch command. Otherwise, I will take coercive measures against you."
Fan Hongyu was very decisive. After thinking for a while, he made up his mind and said solemnly.
"OK, OK, County Magistrate Fan, everything will be done according to your terms."
Seeing that Fan Hongyu finally "succumbed", Dong Quanqing immediately became very happy, said with a smile, and gave Fan Hongyu an "OK" gesture.
"Professor Dong, please rest in the hotel first. I will go back to the office to handle some work and go to Luhua Town with you in the afternoon."
He had to go and arrange this in person before he could really feel at ease. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
