Chinese's attention to environmental protection topics has gradually increased with the improvement of living standards. In the era of lack of food and clothing, problems such as pollution and radiation are not paid much attention at all, and people often rush to do jobs in factories and mines that damage the health of operators, such as electric welding and exploration, because these types of work can be subsidized by a few dollars more than other types of work.

In recent years, people's lives have improved, the problem of food and clothing is no longer a problem, and people are more life-sparing than in the past. The reason why environmental NGOs like Blue Sky have a large number of fans in Europe and the United States is because these countries have long been in a state of affluence, and now they are finally able to find a new market in China.

Gusev and Ekin, both sensationalists, knew exactly what kind of information the people needed, so they did what they liked, exaggerating the dangers of the RX project and causing people to fall into an inexplicable panic. In this case, at the slightest hint of wind and grass, people like frightened birds will make a noise.

Chen Lusha is a white-collar worker with a high awareness of "environmental protection". She has a university degree and works as an administrative director in a company in Yiping, earning well and working relatively leisurely. On weekdays, she likes to read social science journals such as readers and bosom friends, and she is also eager for chicken soup for the soul on the Internet. In an article, as long as the author's column is written with a foreign name such as "Thomas" or "MacDonald", she is convinced. She often told her colleagues that most Chinese scholars are ignorant or unscrupulous, while foreign scholars and journalists are extremely conscientious and never tell nonsense. In her words, "People don't talk about money at all". "People are honest society, and everyone will be responsible when they speak."

Blue Sky organized an environmental protection lecture in Yiping, and Chen Lusha took leave to listen to it in the company. The bearded Gusev left a deep impression on Chen Lusha, his magnetic voice, deep eyes, and often nervous arms all made Chen Lusha feel a solemnity and sacredness. With such a preconceived impression, even if Gusev said that the earth is square. Chen Lusha will definitely believe it.

Gusev told everyone that RX is an extremely dangerous thing, and it is strictly forbidden to build around the city in all countries except China, and such projects must be at least 100 kilometers away from the city. Chen Lusha immediately thought of the Daqin RX project outside Yiping, which was only more than 20 kilometers away from the city, and according to Gu Shefu, hundreds of thousands of citizens in Yiping were simply sitting on the crater.

After listening to the lecture, Chen Lusha didn't sleep well for several days. She has a well-to-do family. There is an innocent and cute child who is afraid that the RX project will threaten her happiness, so she is worried. Every day she goes to work with two dark circles under her eyes, and her mind is full of this matter.

"Sister Chen, what's the matter with you? Sick? When colleagues in the unit saw her like this, they naturally stepped forward to care.

"Xiao Li. Did you go to the lecture? Do you know that chemical plant is being built outside our city? But it's dangerous......" Chen Lusha took her colleague's hand and began to preach, selling all the things Gusev said to the other party.

My colleague was a little skeptical: "No, if it's really so dangerous, can the city let them build it?" ”

"Those government officials only think about their achievements. They don't care if the people live or die! Chen Lusha said.

"However, I heard that Daqin Group has always been very concerned about environmental protection, and the singer Qin Ling, who endorses environmental protection on TV, is the sister of Qin Hai, chairman of Daqin Group." These young girls don't necessarily know much about economic life and science, but gossip in the entertainment industry. They know it all out.

"It's all for show!" Chen Lusha asserted.

This kind of thing is called brainwashing, and once you accept a certain argument and think that it is true, then all the other different voices can be interpreted as quibbles in your head. This is especially true when the argument is frightening in the way.

Therefore, we can see that all kinds of "collapse theories" can prevail, such and such food is poisonous, high-speed rail has radiation, and buying a Japanese commodity is equivalent to contributing a bullet to the Japanese army...... There will always be a market for jokes like this, and they take advantage of people's fear and hatred, and no one cares how much truth there is.

"But this project has already been built, what can we do?" Colleagues were also persuaded by Chen Lusha and began to worry.

"I heard that there is a public welfare organization in Yiping that is going to petition the municipal party committee tomorrow to stop the construction of the RX project, or let's go together, there is a lot of power!" Chen Lusha said.

"Okay, let's go, let's go!" The people in the office responded in unison.

In this way, countless people poured out from various communities and office buildings, gathered together, shouted slogans, and marched to Fuqian Street, where the municipal party committee and the municipal government are located, and a huge demonstration began.

"We want to be environmentally friendly!"

"Boycott RX!"

"Stop the RX project now!"

Wave after wave of slogans shook the glass windows of the meeting room of the city party committee, and the police set up a cordon in front of the city party committee to prevent the demonstrators from storming the compound of the city party committee. Among the people, there is a group of activists who are constantly agitating and propagating, and people's emotions are constantly intensifying, and the situation on the scene is very tense.

The meeting could no longer be held, and the leaders all left the conference room and came to the hall on the first floor of the office building to watch the situation outside through the brown glass door. As the mayor, Wang Hongliang walked out of the building and came to the front of the citizens.

"Dear citizens and friends, I am Mayor Wang Hongliang, please stay calm and express your demands rationally!" Wang Hongliang held a loudspeaker and shouted to everyone.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

"Okay, let's be quiet and listen to what the city leaders have to say."

Those activists among the citizens spoke out one after another, and their appeal was actually greater than Wang Hongliang's, and when they heard their voices, everyone began to gradually quiet down, staring intently at Wang Hongliang, waiting for him to continue.

Wang Hongliang secretly complained in his heart, he didn't believe in the propaganda of Gu Xie Fu and others, and he was not willing to deny a big project with an investment of tens of billions just because he listened to such a lecture. But what can he say in the face of an emotional crowd?

"I looked at the banner you put up, and if I'm not mistaken, you're here to reflect your concerns about the RX project, right?" Wang Hongliang asked, at this time, he could only take his time and see the move.

"Mayor Wang, we are not here to reflect any concerns, we have only one demand, that is, to immediately stop the construction of the RX project and ensure the safety of our lives and property." Chen Lusha walked to the front of the crowd and said loudly to Wang Hongliang.

Wang Hongliang said: "The construction of a large-scale project is a very prudent matter, for the RX project, we conducted in-depth arguments at the beginning, and determined that there is no risk, so we agreed to its construction. Now that there is no basis for this, how can we stop its construction out of thin air? ”

"What do you mean without any basis?" Chen Lusha said loudly, "Foreign RX projects are all built 100 kilometers away from the city, and our RX project is only far from Yiping City, such an obvious violation, can't you see it?" ”

"There is no such rule in our country." Wang Hongliang replied that he had heard the 100-kilometer distance several times today, and in his mind, this rule was obviously true.

"That's the problem of our country's system!" Chen Lusha said.

"But as long as we can't find such a rule, we have no reason to stop the project, right?" Wang Hongliang said, "When our government does things, we must also talk about the law. ”

As soon as these words came out, the citizens immediately fried the pot, and everyone challenged Wang Hongliang together:

"What about the law! It's clearly for political performance! ”

"We'd rather be poor than have this kind of project!"

"Wang Hongliang is out of class!"

"Get out!"

Wang Hongliang was embarrassed, he held the microphone and shouted desperately: "Everyone, everyone, everyone be quiet!" Listen to me......"

However, where are the angry people willing to listen to what he says, there are some people in the crowd who want to hear Wang Hongliang's explanation, but these people can't stop their companions from scolding the street. The voices of the crowd were so loud that the sound from the megaphone in Wang Hongliang's hand was completely drowned out.

"Lao Wang is really, at this time, what do you say that the rules are not stipulated, and when you are a leader, you have to have the courage of a strong man to break his wrist!"

Guo Shuqing, who was watching from behind, stomped his feet, took a megaphone from the secretary next to him, pushed open the door, and walked to Wang Hongliang's side.

"Secretary Guo, why did you come out too?" Wang Hongliang was a little surprised.

"Lao Wang, at this time, we have to have a little determination!" Guo Shuqing said, "If you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it." ”

"Secretary Guo, what do you mean?" Wang Hongliang asked with a glare.

Guo Shuqing ignored him, but walked towards the demonstrators with a microphone. His image often appeared on local television, so many people present knew him and knew that he was a man of his word, so they stopped the noise and waited to hear him.

"Friends, I am Guo Shuqing, the secretary of this city, and I have heard everyone's demands just now. It is the consistent goal of the current municipal party committee to pay attention to the safety of people's lives and property and create a harmonious and fresh living environment for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. In view of everyone's concerns about the Yiping RX project, in order to eliminate the hidden dangers in everyone's life, on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee, I solemnly announce that the construction of the Yiping RX project will be stopped immediately and will never be restarted!
