Chapter 58: Live

The next day, the clouds were thin in the sky, and although the sun did not rise, the sky was finally visible, and as the cyclone passed, the multi-day torrential rain finally showed signs of stopping.

"Hello audience friends, this is the daily news program of Yijiang TV Station, and I am the host Yang Lu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoRecently, the city has been raining continuously, and the total rainfall in half a month has exceeded three times that of the same period in previous years, which has had a great impact on the lives of citizens. So where I am now is Gaogang Village, the largest shantytown in our city, and you can see that the environment here is extremely harsh, with sewage everywhere and a terrible smell at the scene......

Not far away, those comrades who were busy were well-known as the volunteer rescue construction team, we originally wanted to interview the rescue team, but they didn't have time to be interviewed at all, and now we are accompanied by Director Li of the Heping Road Sub-district Office. Hello Director Li, this two-story building next to me is said to be a temporary resettlement site for disaster victims, can you take us in and have a look?"

The camera lens was given to the construction team in the distance, and it was not until the female reporter finished speaking that the face of Director Li of the street office flashed and turned to the two-story building on the side.

"Okay, everyone, come here, there are a total of 16 victims living on this floor, all of them are homeless elderly and children who have collapsed due to heavy rains, and three of them are veterans......"

The camera shifted to the building with the female reporter's pace, several wrinkled elderly people drying clothes in the corridor of the small building, and a small house with a constricted door, which could be seen through the window, which was full of mineral water and other supplies.

"Under the instructions of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, under the leadership of the district leaders, our sub-district office immediately carried out rescue work after the heavy rain, but due to the special environment of Gaogang Village, the rescue operation was too difficult......

Director Li kept leaning in front of the camera and talking non-stop on the side. Fortunately, his mind was still clear, and he didn't dare to say that this rescue team was organized by the street.

He wanted to say that if the rescue team was really organized by the streets, then most of the credit this time was on the streets, but now the Internet is boiling, and people who are a little concerned about the situation in Gaogang Village know that this rescue team has been a non-governmental organization from the beginning.

Moreover, before the filming began, the reporter specially reminded him that this time the city should publicize a typical example of spiritual civilization and set an example.

Lao Li was also confused, he didn't expect that there would be such a big disturbance in Gaogang Village. This broken place, every year it rains to send water, leaking water and rain is normal, pour a few rooms, the tinkering in previous years is over, as long as no one dies, it is not a big deal. As far as these dilapidated houses in Gaogang Village are concerned, it is possible to smash and injure people, but it is still difficult to really smash them to death.

How is it that this year, which happens every year, has caused the city to be full of wind and rain, and it is obviously a small rain disaster, but now it has attracted so much attention from both the city and the people? This posture is almost catching up with the Yangtze River.

"Okay, thank you Director Li for your introduction, then let's give the microphone to these old people and listen to what they have to say. ā€

The female reporter faced Director Li Nunu behind the camera, and Director Li reluctantly handed the microphone to an old lady with white hair.

"Old man, are you a resident here?"

"Yes, I have lived in the village for more than 70 years, and I have never met such a good person. Half of my house collapsed, and if it weren't for Xiao Zhao and someone carrying me out, my old bones would have been gone a long time ago!" said the old lady.

Speaking of 'Xiao Zhao', several old people present talked a lot.

"Xiao Zhao was almost smashed in order to save my old man......"

"The roof of my house is the ...... that Xiao Zhao climbed up to mend it"

"Xiao Zhao ......"

The female reporter took over the conversation and said to the camera: "The audience and friends must be very strange, who is this mysterious 'Xiao Zhao'." As far as we know, this Xiao Zhao, whose real name is Zhao Zejun, is a senior high school student in our city's No. 4 Middle School, and Jiang Xuan, the construction captain, is a good friend and the initiator of this rescue operation. ā€

After learning that the TV station was going to come for an interview, Zhao Zejun specially discussed the 'role arrangement' of the two with Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan stepped forward as the head of the construction team, while Zhao Zejun was nominally the initiator and the only volunteer. Because of Zhao Zejun's student status, Jiang Xuan is a social person at a glance, and he will come forward to be the person in charge, which will reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"Don't always ask us, we are uneducated, we can't say anything, let's interview Xiao Zhao. An old man said.

The female reporter said to the camera: "Okay, let's go to the scene now and interview the two main figures of this rescue, Jiang Xuan, the captain of the engineering team, and Xiao Zhao, the initiator." Even now, they are still fighting on the front line of disaster relief, especially Xiao Zhao himself is still suffering from a high fever......"

In order to show the attitude of the city government, this interview was broadcast live, and the female reporter did not feel anything wrong after saying this, but some viewers on the TV had already started scolding.

"Damn, people are rescuing, and the street office is coming to steal the limelight in front of the camera!"

"What a shame!"

"Why don't these reporters have any professionalism at all, what's the point of putting those fake big empty words?

Naturally, the reporter and Director Li couldn't hear these words, and not long after, the camera followed the female reporter to the scene again.

Zhao Zejun had just come out of a leaky room, holding an old leather suitcase in his hand, and his face was covered with mud.

"Hello Xiao Zhao, I'm from Yijiang TV Station, and I have a few questions I want to ask you......"

"Hello, wait a minute, I'll send this to the small upstairs over there. Zhao Zejun looked at the box in his arms.

"Okay, okay, I see that you seem to have entered the house specifically to rescue this box, can you let us see, what is in this box?" the female reporter asked curiously.

"It's nothing, there was an old man living in that house, and I was afraid that the house wouldn't be able to hold it when it rained too much yesterday, so I moved him to a small building over there. The old man said that some important things in the house hit the box, and he was afraid that the water would be broken. ā€

Zhao Zejun said as he opened the box.

The photographer hurriedly pointed the camera at the box.

There are not many things in the box, below is a cotton coat for the winter, and on the top, there is an old military uniform that has been washed and whitened neatly, and there is a tin can of eight-treasure porridge on the military uniform.

"What's in here?" the female reporter picked it up curiously and shook it, and there was a crisp ding-dong sound.

The reporter curiously unscrewed the lid and poured out a few five-star metal medals from the jar, the ribbons of the medals had faded, but the five stars on them were polished.

"Military merit medal!" said the female reporter in surprise.

Zhao Zejun explained to the camera: "Due to the limited manpower and material resources, this time our rescue objects are mainly concentrated in the veterans of the lonely and widowed elderly......

As he spoke, he touched his face full of stains, and said with a smile: "The veterans have to participate in the rescue, so I stopped ...... anyway."

As he was talking, Liang Shi ran over from a distance, looking anxious: "When the army led people to inspect, I found that a house was about to die, two children were locked inside, there were no adults at home, no matter how I called the door, I couldn't open it, what should I do?!"

Zhao Zejun's face sank: "How to be a parent! Take me to see!"
