The feeling of ascending the well is fundamentally different from the feeling when going down, and it can even be said that it is a world of difference, at least in Qi Tianxiang's consciousness.

The minecart had just stopped, and before Qi Tianxiang could step out of the car, the minecart where Qi Tianxiang was was surrounded by flashing lights, which caught Qi Tianxiang off guard for a while. Before he could carefully savor the excitement of seeing the light of day, he encountered such a scene, and Qi Tianxiang was a little angry and dissatisfied.

But in the face of the swarming media and reporters, Qi Tianxiang quickly adjusted his mood, slowly stood up, and slowly got out of the car, calmly facing the camera, the flash, and the microphone stretched out in front of his face. I was a little puzzled, there were not so many reporters when I went down the mine just now, how could so many people gather in this meeting.

This is what Qi Tianxiang did not know, these media and reporters had just attended a press conference at the Shengli Coal Group, and at the request of the reporters to cover the scene, the Propaganda Department of the Huayi Municipal Party Committee specially arranged for vehicles to pull to the scene.

As soon as the reporters arrived at the scene, they dispersed, looking for their own reporting perspectives according to the nature and direction of their respective media, combined with the reporters' own interests and interview requirements, but soon fell into disappointment. Since the accident, just as the information announced at the press conference and the current rescue situation have not only repeated the content of the explosive news in the morning, but also made no new progress at all. Even if there is some news such as the direction of the tunnel, the general idea, etc., it is difficult to meet the requirements of curiosity in order to attract the attention of the audience, whether it is newsworthy or eyeball effect.

Just when the reporters felt bored and were about to take the car back to Shengli Coal Group to reposition the subject of the interview, I don't know who heard that Governor Qi Tianxiang had gone down to the mine not long ago and was still directing the rescue work underground.

The news came, it was tantamount to giving everyone a shot in the arm, the governor, the vice governor, including the director of the State Administration of Work Safety came to the scene, such news has long been commonplace, it is a necessary content, there is no more depth of reporting, the leaders will not accept interviews now, let alone say the information that the reporters want to hear. The governor went down the well to be different, from the positive point of view, it is full of positive energy of responsibility and responsibility, and from the perspective of curiosity, it illustrates the severity and crisis of the situation.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the moment Qi Tianxiang ascended the shaft with the minecart, the media and reporters flocked to it.

After the flash and the camera were captured, Qi Tianxiang naturally looked at the reporters calmly, and said slowly: "If you are interested, you should point the camera and microphone at the rescue team members who have just ascended the shaft, they have been working underground for several hours in a row, tired and exhausted, but they have no regrets, because they are trapped underground are their miner brothers, their friends and relatives, listen to their feelings, focus on their feelings, maybe it is more meaningful." ”

Seeing that everyone had no intention of leaving, Qi Tianxiang simply opened up and said: "All the media and reporter friends aim the camera at me, I don't think it means much, at least with my image now, my face is full of dust and coal black, tomorrow's print media, and TV media, will definitely not appear, and I dare not report it." After all, I am the governor of the Hohai Provincial Government, and I am the face and image of the whole province. ”

Qi Tianxiang had already expected the looks of the reporters looking at each other, and said calmly to everyone: "As long as it can arouse the attention of the whole society, as long as it is conducive to the development of rescue work, I am willing to sacrifice my own image, cooperate with everyone's publicity, and even be willing to cooperate to answer the questions that everyone is interested in, how to choose everyone to decide!" ”

"You are the first cadre to go down to the underground among all the leading cadres on the site, what do you think?" A reporter closest to Qi Tianxiang raised his voice at the noisy scene and asked, "How is the situation in the underground now?" Do you feel like you'd like to tell everyone you care about? ”

"Let me correct this reporter's question, I am not the first leading cadre to go down the mine, and now there are senior managers of Shengli Coal Group underground, as well as many professional cadres are busy underground, and just now Director Tong of the State Administration of Work Safety was about to go down the mine, and we were forcibly stopped, so the only thing is inaccurate." Qi Tianxiang looked at the reporter who asked the question gently, and then said: "The situation in the underground is accurate to describe as anxious, the excavation is in a race against time, everyone who participates in the rescue, knows what time means, my mood is the same as the big guy who participated in the rescue, and the family members who are anxiously waiting, are worried about the miners who are trapped in the mine, and hope to bring them out safely as soon as possible." ”

Qi Tianxiang looked at the reporters who were recording quickly, and felt that it was time to end the interview, so he said to everyone earnestly: "The occurrence of such a thing is what none of us want to see, and we are also very sad and shocked, so I hope that the media and reporters who came to the scene, from the perspective of the trapped miners and masters, from the perspective of the family members, pay more attention to the hard work and spiritual sustenance of the rescuers, pass on some positive energy, encourage and drive everyone to build confidence, Let the people who care and pay attention to the accident rescue have more support, more care, pray together for the trapped people, pray for their safety, I am here to thank everyone! ”

After Qi Tianxiang said this, he continued to say to everyone: "I think today's interview will be here first, I hope that there will be good news soon, and I also hope that everyone will work harder and tell the real situation here to the people who care about the accident rescue situation." ”

After saying this, Qi Tianxiang was surrounded by Zhang Wanfu and others, left the encirclement of reporters, and squeezed into the tent headquarters with difficulty.

"If you don't let me go to the mouth of the tunnel, but you yourself go down the well, is my life valuable, or is your life worthless?" Tong Anshan saw Qi Tianxiang walking in surrounded by everyone, so he said angrily: "You are the general manager of the scene, you should understand where your position is, do you still need me to remind you?" ”

"I knew you would criticize me, but I didn't have a choice. The atmosphere needs to be stable, the confidence of the people needs to be boosted, and the emotions of the family members need to be soothed, which is what I need to do now. Qi Tianxiang grinned, did not explain too much, but seriously introduced: "The underground situation is quite normal, but the collapse position is relatively loose, and the large machinery cannot be deployed, so the comrades suggest that they are ready to send some more machinery down to excavate the roadway from the other end, and then rescue the trapped people on the face of the tunnel, and then go back to the back and carry out the rescue synchronously according to the situation." ”

Qi Tianxiang looked at Tong Anshan sincerely, saw that he didn't say anything, and knew that although he didn't say anything, he acquiesced to his report, so he turned around and walked to the basin placed in the corner, washing his face in a hurry, but thinking about the next rescue operation in his heart.
