Chapter 111 - Accompanying Inspection (4)

The convoy first entered the Shengli Group Hospital, slowly parked in front of the ward building, the police and staff maintained order, where the hospital director and several experts were waiting, everything seemed orderly, solemn and rigorous.

The State Councilor was the first to get out of the car, and after standing still, he seemed to look around the surrounding environment and scenery aimlessly, but in fact he was giving the accompanying people who got out of the car behind him time to prepare. After a while, he walked to the ward building with a smile, and under Zhu Shouming's introduction one by one, he shook hands cordially with the dean and experts waiting in front of the ward building, and waited for the accompanying reporters to take pictures, and then slowly walked into the building.

Unlike the bustling scene of greeting people at the airport, only a few of the people who entered the ward building and entered the wards one by one were refined and were able to accompany the State Councilor to offer their condolences.

Putting on the white coat handed by the nurse, Qi Tianxiang accompanied Lin Dongsheng and Tong Anshan, accompanied the state councilor to the outside of the intensive care ward, visited the seriously injured and sick who were being treated through the glass, and then slowly walked into the ordinary ward, under the guidance of the dean, walked to the bed, had a cordial conversation with the miners, and listened to the experts' briefings on the situation of the wounded.

The careful and thoughtful greetings of the State Councilors and the grateful thanks of the wounded with emotion blended together to form a touching picture of joy and harmony, which was passed on in the hospital room and filled everyone's faces and hearts.

Due to the large number of people in need of condolences, in consideration of the time, in addition to visiting the miners who were injured of varying degrees one by one, the other trapped people who were recovering gathered in the corridor of the floor, and the state councilors shook hands one by one and expressed sincere and warm greetings.

After finishing the condolences to the injured miners and recovering from treatment, they returned to the lobby of the ward building, where the staff and the families of the injured miners were gathered, and hundreds of family members of different ages stood quietly, waiting for the state councilors and provincial and municipal leaders to receive and express their condolences. Seeing the arrival of the leaders, the crowd burst into warm applause, and the State Councilor seemed to be infected by this scene, clapping rhythmically with everyone, and speaking more sincerely, full of feelings, and especially with great contagion. The speech was interrupted several times by warm applause, and many family members who were received by the state councilor shook hands and even shed tears of emotion.

After leaving the Victory Hospital, the team came to the Victory Group Recreation Center, which was filled with a strong atmosphere of pain and sorrow compared to the joyful and cheerful atmosphere of the hospital.

Due to the full preparation in advance, the civic center has changed its appearance, after entering the compound, you will be in the world dominated by black and white, the cement road is neatly arranged on both sides of the wreath, all the way to the entrance of the center, the wreaths are also placed on both sides of the door, above the lintel is a huge black flower ball made of black ribbons, and a black banner, on which is a white "mourning for the dead miners" in regular letters, which looks solemn.

The hall pushes the atmosphere to a climax, the remains of the seven miners who died are hung side by side on a wall facing the door, wreaths and banners are placed below, and the hall is decorated with white paper flowers around it, making the whole hall seem to be a sea of paper flowers and wreaths, giving people a feeling of depression.

In the center of the hall and on both sides stood the families of the dead miners, as well as the staff who hosted the funeral. Having received the notice, all the personnel stood solemnly, waiting for the arrival of the leading comrades.

The state councilors and their entourage got off the bus at the entrance of the center, and the staff had already helped to put on white flowers and black yarns, and each person sent a bouquet of yellow or white chrysanthemums, after everything was ready to stop, all the leaders walked slowly into the hall along the corridor made of wreaths, and in the low mourning music, walked to the statue and stood in silence, and then placed the bouquets in their hands under the statue in turn, and shook hands with the family members standing aside to express their deep condolences.

After the mourning activities were carried out in order, as if they were prepared, a violent cry broke out in the hall instantly, and some family members could not help themselves, and collapsed on the ground in pain.

The state councilor's face was solemn, and he did not make any public speech except for whispered comfort to his family members from beginning to end, and he seemed to be immersed in pain, and it was not until he walked out of the hall and got into the car that he instructed Zhu Shouming in a low voice: "We must make good arrangements for the funeral, do our best to make it solemn, take care of local customs and habits as much as possible, try our best to meet the demands of the family members, and try our best to solve the problem without violating the principles." ”

Seeing Zhu Shouming nodding his head again and again, the state councilor got on the bus with confidence, and it was not until the medium-sized bus drove away smoothly from the civic center that he seemed to remember something, and slowly said to Lin Dongsheng: "For the miners who unfortunately died in the mining accident, compensation and relief should be implemented as soon as possible, which is related to the process of accident investigation and handling, and is also related to social harmony and family stability." Where possible, it is understandable that the standard should be raised slightly, after all, each victim is the pillar of the family, and the collapse of the pillar is tantamount to the collapse of the house, and the difficulties of life in the future can be imagined. ”

"Please rest assured, we will do a good job in compensating and compensating the families of the victims in accordance with your instructions, so that every family will not have huge difficulties in life." Lin Dongsheng never said a word when he came out of the airport, but now when he saw the state councilor making demands in the face of himself, he said with a straight face: "This itself is part of the work of dealing with the mining disaster, and we will take it seriously." ”

Hearing Lin Dongsheng's serious answer, the State Councilor seemed to be relieved from the depression and pain just now, nodded to Lin Dongsheng with satisfaction, and then looked out of the car window, looked at the speeding scenery, and fell into deep thought.

Qi Tianxiang, as one of the entourage, seems to have entered into contemplation earlier, from entering the ward building of the hospital, condolences to the wounded, to coming to the civic center, mourning the dead miner, Qi Tianxiang has always been in the dual role of participant and observer, joy and anger are changing with the behavior of the state councilor, there is no feeling of his own, it seems to have lost himself, only at this time to calm down, there is gradually a sense of return.

But these feelings will be very short-lived, which Qi Tianxiang knows very well, because he will soon arrive at the scene of the accident, and he will soon be busy.
