Lao Qi stretched out his hand and clicked in, he felt his heart beating.

The long Weibo opened, first the title, and then a visually striking photograph — full of ruins, surrounded by moaning residents, and in the distance there was a fierce man with a stick, and the strong and dazzling sunlight made the photo all white.

Only the woman in the middle, dressed in tatters, stood on top of the ruins, with her back to the camera, and a tank of gasoline in her hand.

Her back was still stained with dust, and the messy strands of hair were very clear on the folds and tattered clothes.

In this forced demolition incident, Yang Suqin, who died by self-immolation. ”

Here's a line of small print below the photo.

Lao Qi took a deep breath, he looked down, but it was the beginning of a paragraph.

"At 14:15 on September 14, 2018, Sichuan Province, Liangyi City, Qiao New District.

The midday sun was still as hot as yesterday, burning everyone's skin.

The security guards responsible for razing the area are here again, sticks in their hands, pointing to houses that are still half on the rubble.

"Have you thought about it?"

In front of the houses, there are already large areas of rubble, and some houses have been demolished - those that were blocked by the residents of the area a few days ago.

On a piece of house, there was also a banner with black letters on a white background, and the words "The government is unkind, forcibly demolish my house" and "Protest against forced demolition" were printed on it.

The residents who were forcibly demolished came out with tools, some with benches and some with knives, and everyone was angry on their faces.

But no one saw that Yang Suqin, who was walking at the back, came out with a tank of gasoline.

"Get out of here!"

The man at the head stared at the group of security members and shouted in Sichuan.

"When the deadline has expired, the land here has already been acquired by the government. The head of the security team also said.

"This is Lao Tzu's house, you forcibly demolished Lao Tzu's house, are you still reasonable?"

This is a confrontation between the government's forced demolition and residents, which has lasted for more than half a month, and today is the last day that the government will allow them to move out.

Prior to this, there had been armed brawls between the two sides, and there were injuries to each other.

Everyone present couldn't go on, the security team rushed up with the guys, and in the distance, three excavators were already on standby, and several government officials in suits stood there, with smiles on their faces, reaching out and pointing at this side.

The communication was useless, the conflict and brawl appeared again, and I don't know who shouted "make a murder for Lao Tzu", and the two groups fought directly.

Under the scorching sun, on the ruins, shouts of killing and roars echoed.

In the end, Yang Suqin didn't step forward, she looked at the officials in the distance, and suddenly shouted.

"Official!"

She suddenly opened the gas tank in her hand, then raised it to the top of her head and poured it on herself!

The pungent smell of gasoline reverberated through the air around her.

Several officials not far away were stunned, as were the security members and residents who were fighting around them.

Yang Suqin threw the empty gasoline tank to the side, holding a lighter in her left hand and holding it in her own hand.

Wet hair stuck to her face, and her eyes were fixed on those people.

"If you demolish it again, I'll die for you!"

There was silence for a while, and the security guards were also frightened and did not dare to move any more, and some of the residents were also panicked.

"Suqin, what are you doing?"

Several officials not far away stopped talking, and seemed to be communicating with each other.

Time seemed to freeze, only Yang Suqin's wheezing and the heat wave of the sun scorching on the ground, and everyone's heartbeat.

The officials discussed the results.

She didn't dare to kill herself. ”

After hearing this order, the group of security members moved again.

Yang Suqin, who was standing on the ruins, shouted bitterly: "I'll die to show you!"

The next moment, the lighter in her hand was pressed.

Rumble!

Yang Suqin's body was surrounded by a sea of fire, which instantly wrapped her whole person.

The smell of the flame burning, passed in the air.

The fire man under the scorching sun made everyone feel cold in their hearts. ”

This is just the beginning, but when Lao Qi finished reading the beginning, he felt that his whole person was like a thorn in his back.

His eyes were glued to the screen, and he didn't dare to breathe, and the opening picture was completely presented in front of his eyes.

He swallowed hard, could it be that the incident had become like this?

Someone actually set himself on fire?

If this matter gets out, it will really be over.

Lao Qi continued to read, and next, this investigative report specifically narrated the ins and outs of the matter, and its narration technique was not linear, but jumping and interspersed.

The writing technique is very clever and makes the whole story more compact.

Lao Qi read it in one breath, but he was still staring at the screen.

"'Why did you want to demolish my house?'

When you go to sue, you are using your legal weapons to protect your personal interests. ’

This conversation, which originated from a few days ago with local officials, left them with a deep sense of despair.

And it is this sense of desperation that they end up doing in their own and extremely brutal way. ”

It tells about Lao Luo, Yang Suqin's family, and several lines of employees of the Security Bureau, and as you read it, this matter is also restored very quickly.

After reading it, Lao Qi exhaled deeply.

"Is this really that serious?"

Based on his professionalism over the years, he can of course see at a glance that there is no problem with the authenticity of this manuscript, and there is really no problem with those photos and those descriptions.

The reporter who wrote this article has a very high level of professionalism and a very high level.

It is certain that this manuscript will definitely have an explosive effect!

After reading it, Lao Qi not only did not relax, but his entire brow was tightened.

He hovered his mouse over the forward button, but he never clicked it.

As a new media staff member of the Sichuan Provincial Party Newspaper, he naturally knows the principles of party spirit, but the problem is that everything presented in this manuscript is like a nightmare, lingering in his mind and lingering.

He is also a journalist, and he naturally knows the mission of the word journalist, which tells him that he must present this truth to the public.

This truth is too cruel, it is like a needle, stirring Lao Qi's nerves.

He had to order it several times, but he had to put it back again.

He knew what it would mean if he retweeted it.

Because he didn't use a personal Weibo account, he used the Weibo account of their newspaper, if he really forwarded it, the effect would be explosive.

But again, if he does this without permission, it means losing his job, and even other accidents.

To turn or not to turn?

Lao Qi doesn't know what to do, if he doesn't turn, he can't pass the threshold in his heart, he also wants to say something, he is also a reporter, but if he changes, it is very likely that he will face more than the consequences of losing his job.

couldn't help but think of his answer in class again.

"Why do you want to do journalism?"

"When I see that the news I make can change something, I feel a huge sense of satisfaction, and this satisfaction is worth it. ”

That was his answer.

Lao Qi felt that it seemed that as he had been doing this business for a long time, his satisfaction had disappeared.

At this moment, there was an emotion in his heart that pushed him.

"him, it's a big deal to find a new job. ”

Lao Qi was overwhelmed with enthusiasm, gritted his teeth, and chose to forward.
