Chapter 1001 Eight Directions Support

Secretary Xiao also burst into tears: "Comrades, this is Comrade He Changsheng of Lijiagou Group, it was he who proposed this food solution, and it was they who first practiced it." ”

"They voluntarily came from thousands of miles away, regardless of fatigue and danger, through the earthquake zone to help us, and they have not closed their eyes until now!"

"They have restored production from the rubble and lifted us out of the crisis of food shortage!

"But in this case, they are reluctant to use a grain of grain, saying that they want to leave the grain they beat up for the victims, the armed police, and the People's Liberation Army!"

"What a selfless spirit this is? Our cadres are inspired by their spirit and are determined to learn from them! Come and eat fodder with them!"

"I really don't know how to express the gratitude of the people of Wenjiang to them, but eating feed together, my old Xiao can still do it!"

"Since everyone is here, it's just right, the Lijiagou commando team is now urgently repairing the remaining rice beaters and generators, as far as the current situation is concerned, 700 catties of rice per hour will reach 10,000 catties by tomorrow morning!"

"I didn't publicize this matter before, because I was afraid of causing panic among everyone and making everyone have the idea of food shortage. This led to everyone's misunderstanding. ”

"Now I officially announce that with the hard work of the Lijiagou commandos, the food shortage crisis in Wenjiang has been solved!"

"Thank you for your supervision, and please believe in our cadres, in this situation, no cadre dares to mess around. ”

"But I also want to warn the vast number of cadres that this kind of indiscriminate stretching out of your hand at this moment will affect you for the rest of your life, even in prison. ”

"I would like to warn those media with ulterior motives not to try to stir up chaos and create contradictions. Don't set yourself on fire!"

"Wenjiang is an ethnic minority region, but it is also a member of the big family of the Chinese nation! We have the same roots! As long as we think in one place and work hard in one place, no difficulty will be difficult for the heroic Chinese people!"

The crowd applauded enthusiastically, and many voices were heard from the crowd.

"Secretary Xiao, we believe in you!"

"Li Jiagou, good job!"

"The people of Wenjiang thank you!"

Secretary Xiao struck while the iron was hot: "Everyone came just in time! Come and help a few people, let's send the freshly beaten rice to Jiang Weicheng and the resettlement site of the two schools first!"

Immediately, someone came up to help, and Lao Xiao said to Uncle Orion: "Lao He, let's continue to eat!"

Uncle Orion really didn't think there was anything to eat feed, and greeted the two reporters: "Why don't you give you some to try......?"

The two foreigners' faces turned red and ran out in embarrassment.

Lao Xiao smiled coldly, and as soon as he said to the two reporters, two staff members immediately followed.

Lao Xiao tasted a big spoonful and said to Uncle Orion: "Hey, this thing is actually not unpalatable......

Uncle Orion said, "It's not unpalatable! ”

Lao Xiao said: "Whether the reputation is good or not, who will eat it, come to Lao He, although it is not a good thing, I still have to respect you!"

……

Fifteenth.

In the early hours of the morning, the weather window finally opened. The Air Force immediately dispatched Il-76 aircraft to urgently drop drinking water, food, and medicine.

The Shudu Military Region seized all the time and airdropped dry rations, military rubber shoes, quilts, and clothing to Beijiang and Wenjiang.

China Mobile China Unicom tried its best to mobilize a competent team, with the help of the military, carrying equipment, generators and fuel, and took a helicopter to break into the disaster area and set up temporary base stations.

The engineering regiment transported more than 40 boats to the Zipingpu reservoir area and began to erect a water communication line to the epicenter.

The Caodumen Bridge will be two kilometers long and has a load of 80 tons, which can ensure that the materials can be transported to the disaster area in time!

More than 95,000 troops have been put into active service for disaster relief, more than 36,000 militia reserve troops, and nearly 300 sorties have been dispatched by military transport planes and helicopters!

Contemporary China's ability to concentrate military forces and war readiness materials in a short period of time has also shocked the whole world!

The international community is not standing by, and out of the obligation and sense of responsibility of the villagers of the earth, they are competing to help.

In the face of great disaster, the system, party and national interests have gradually blurred.

Hong Kong, China, Taipei, Russia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore have all sent their experienced international rescue teams.

Donations poured in.

A spokesman for the Arab royal family announced that the king and crown prince have decided to donate US$50 million in cash and US$10 million in supplies to China, totaling about 420 million yuan, to help China fight the earthquake and provide disaster relief.

The Japanese government announced 500 million yen or about 4.8 million US dollars.

The German government provided 500,000 euros to the German Red Cross to help China in disaster relief, and BM Group donated community hospitals to China that can meet the needs of 250,000 people in temporary settlements.

In Thailand, the old king has passed away, but in addition to the government's donation of $500,000 to the Chinese government. The King's Development Foundation and the new king of Thailand each donated US$100,000 to China.

And India, and Russia, and Britain......

In addition, the Chinese people have also donated generously.

Under the advocacy of Jack and Tong Jiankai, Hong Kong's philanthropic work has been outstanding.

Among them, Hutchison Li Chaoren donated 100 million yuan, and Shaoji Tang Sanshu donated 100 million yuan, these two subtle figures made Li Junge laugh.

In the following period, the Legislative Council allocated a total of HK$9 billion in donations, and private donations amounted to HK$13 billion.

A poll by the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong shows that 95% of Hong Kong people have donated to Shuzhou!

The New York Times couldn't help but sigh.

"The deadly disaster has triggered an unprecedented charity boom among Chinese, especially among the newly rich and urbanite.

Donations poured in like a tidal wave, with more donations than China had raised in all of last year.

For a society that has been provided by the government for welfare, this donation is remarkable.

Although the aid provided to the millions of homeless people was largely provided by the government and the military, this time the population quickly organized to help themselves instead of waiting for the government-organized relief efforts.

Bank account numbers for disaster fundraisers are constantly flashing on web logs and mobile phones.

The blood donation centre is crowded with people who have come to donate blood, and the public has started to pre-register to donate blood......"

……

While the domestic media is still immersed in reporting on the details of the earthquake and excavating and sorting out typical figures, more Western media have keenly felt the difference in Chinese society after the earthquake.

The biggest difference is the people's imaginative and enthusiastic spontaneous rescue activities.

They summed up this phenomenon in a term they were familiar with: civil society, and were surprised that it came into being in China.

The emergence of the army of volunteers due to the earthquake has made the Western public realize how much the impression and image of Chinese society are different from the previous official announcements!

For all this, Li Junge expressed disdain.

Cang Liao knows etiquette from the truth. In the past, everyone lived a tight life, but the traditional family and national concepts of the Chinese have long been engraved in the bones!

"The old and the old, and the old, the young, and the young. "From "Mencius: King Hui of Liang", that was more than 2,000 years ago!

According to the statistics of the system, on the 15th alone, at least 50,000 volunteers took Shudu as a transit place and tried every means to rush to the disaster area.

If you add volunteers from all over the world, and some temporary volunteers, the number is even bigger!

For the sudden army of volunteers, the feelings of the grassroots cadres in the disaster area are complicated.

There is a lack of experience, even a lack of trust.

For these people who drive their own cars, pull medicines and food, carry all kinds of equipment on their backs, have tears in their eyes, or hold flags with various fonts written on them, the cadres are both relieved and nervous and have headaches.

Thankfully, in the face of manpower and material constraints, the rescuers came.

What is nervous is that I don't know if those QQ groups and WeChat groups with flags with various words are on the registration list of the civil affairs department, and whether there are people with ulterior motives or even ill intentions.

The headache is whether the already tight supply situation in the disaster area will be overwhelmed by the rapid increase in the number of volunteers.

This kind of misgiving, which is widespread in the minds of cadres at all levels in the disaster area, is actually due to their unfamiliarity with the concept of volunteers.

In the initial stage, there were only 50 staff members responsible for registering and receiving volunteers in the entire Shudu City.

Such a huge contrast. What is shown behind this is that the enthusiasm of the volunteers is underestimated by the relevant government departments.

While most of the volunteers have done a great deal of useful work for the relief effort, there have been some scenes of excesses due to the lack of clarity.

The most typical example is that from the afternoon of the 13th to the morning of the 14th, a large number of volunteers exceeded the reception capacity, and the local civil affairs departments could only adopt traditional forms of registration and other forms of management, which must have been overwhelming.

In this way, there must be a sharp conflict with the fire and the urgency of the volunteers.

The latter saw this as a bureaucracy on the part of the authorities, while the former believed that volunteers were unwilling to be managed.

In addition to the urgency of the matter and the serious shortage of manpower in the management department, another important reason for the conflict between the two is that the volunteers and the relevant government departments know too little about each other, and the misunderstanding is too deep.

The slightest stir will be magnified and misunderstood.

In addition to messages such as "China, come on" and "Wenjiang, Xiongqi", many of the relief items donated by volunteers also wrote that they would send materials to the people in the disaster area, not the hands of the grassroots government.

The apprehension and distrust expressed in this is also accumulated over many years based on impressions.

In addition, the volunteers themselves are relatively blind, and the result of their spontaneous actions is that the more famous the disaster area, the higher the quantity and quality of assistance they receive.

Some villages close to the roadside with convenient transportation have been repeatedly rescued, while some remote disaster areas have been ignored because of the lack of information.

In fact, this is a contradiction under the long-term accumulation and going their own way. And the disaster brought about a sudden collision that was not rehearsed, which exposed this contradiction at once.
