Chapter 293: Deeply Touched
readx; Old man Wu was full of peach and plums, making Chinese New Year's Eve like an annual press conference. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info living room, dining room, bedroom, study, full of people, squeezing the three-bedroom room of more than 100 square meters.
Fortunately, Professor Tian Da had already prepared, and asked the third senior brother Fu Jianguo to go downstairs in advance, and stuffed all the gifts brought by the other senior brothers into the garage, otherwise there would be no place to put them when they were brought up.
“…… This one is yours, good, good! Ling Ling, remember Grandpa Wu, right? Hehe, I haven't seen you grow so tall in four years, come on...... It's yours. ”
Before going abroad for the Chinese New Year, Wu Bolan had to prepare half a year's salary to entertain these "debt collectors" who dragged their families and mouths. Now that he has come back from abroad, he will naturally be no exception, grabbing a large handful of thick red envelopes and distributing them one by one.
Five years have passed, and even the youngest Tian Wenjian has started a family. The number of people who need to be paid has doubled compared with five years ago, fortunately, there is Wu Xiaoyan, a multimillionaire, otherwise it would not be enough to paste the old man's retirement salary for a year.
Looking at the smiling children, Professor Tian Da, who was unanimously elected as a photographer by the senior brothers, couldn't help but smile and said, "Taotao, Lingling, Xiaobin...... Grandpa Wu's New Year's money this year is different, it's all dollars! 100 yuan as 700 flowers, don't be fooled by your parents? ”
Everyone burst into laughter, they had been with Tian Wenjian's family in Jiangcheng for so long, Fu Jianguo's son Taotao was the most familiar with him, he actually raised his head and stared at his eyes, and said innocently: "Uncle Tian, you haven't given me the New Year's money yet." ”
"Yes, Wishing you prosperity, bring the red envelope."
Today's children are really incredible, one is worse than the other, they surround Professor Tian Da, and they want to press the New Year's money. Professor Tian Da's head was big, and he begged for mercy again and again: "Uncle is going to take pictures now, and I will give you New Year's money when I go back." But then again, don't expect too much from the gold content of your uncle's red envelopes, I still have to prepare milk powder money for your soon-to-be-born little brother. ”
Chen Jie naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to fall into the well, so he suddenly squeezed over, snatched the Nikon camera in his hand, and said with a smile: "There is no shortage of people today, that is, there is no shortage of people to take pictures." Xiao Jian...... I've taken over your job, so I can't let the kids down. ”
"Yes, yes, they're all such adults, how can they deceive children?" The elder brother, who was a few years older than Tian's father, couldn't help but look back and laugh with a grin.
"Wishing you prosperity, bring the red envelope! Wishing you prosperity, take the red envelope ......"
The adults supported, and the little ones became more unscrupulous, and even the little carnival followed them, clapping their little hands while coaxing to press the New Year's money. Old Man Wu leaned back and smiled even more, urging Professor Tian Da to express a little.
Fortunately, Xiao Na was prepared, took out a stack of 100 denominations, and said with a smile: "How can there be no red envelopes for the New Year?" They all come to Auntie's side, one for each person, and everyone has a share. ”
Although this one hundred is not the other hundred, there is a world of difference in purchasing power, but the children are just lively, and after happily taking the money, they let go of the anxious Professor Tian Da.
There were too many people, and the round table couldn't be put down, so Tian's mother, Chen Jie, third sister-in-law and others simply put the wine, food, fruits and chopsticks on the table, so that everyone had a buffet. Gas stoves, induction cookers, rice cookers, all the kitchen utensils that can be used are used, but there is still no guarantee that everyone can eat dumplings at the same time, a Chinese New Year's Eve meal, you and I let you eat until twelve o'clock.
The program officially began here, and the energetic children, organized by Chen Yongjun, director of the Economic and Trade Commission, collectively took a car to the suburbs to set off firecrackers; The ladies, accompanied by Wu Xiaoyan and Chen Jie, went to the hotel that had been booked for a long time to rest; The Tian family was busy cleaning up the messy battlefield, and more than a dozen men, including the senior brother, the second senior brother, and the fifth senior brother, held a paper cup with the surname Tian Wenjian, and sat around the study to chat with the old man.
“…… Everyone gathered firewood and the flame was high, and the Red Ribbon Foundation did a good job, if it weren't for the big guys helping to wave the flag and shout, Guang Wenjian would be alone and would be alone. ”
In terms of AIDS hype, the brothers and sisters have made great efforts. It can be said that without their overt and covert help, Tian Wenjian would not have been able to set off a wave of AIDS prevention and control in such a short period of time.
As soon as the old man's voice fell, the elder brother, who served as the deputy head of the H Provincial Reporter Station of the "Minren Daily", shook his head again and again and said, "Master, this is what we should do." When it comes to contributions, whose contribution is as big as Xiaoyan? One donation is more than one million US dollars, equivalent to more than 7 million yuan. ”
In order not to return empty-handed, he found Wu Xiaoyan after going to the United States with Professor He Bingsu. Boss Wu did not disappoint them, not only did he sell a million dollars, but he even helped lobby a Chinese charity organization in Los Angeles to raise the first batch of donations for the Red Ribbon Foundation.
Speaking of his daughter, the old man was full of pride, but he still shook his head and smiled: "More than one million is nothing to her, to be honest, I still think she donates less." I didn't know if I didn't go to the United States, but after I went, I found out that she had donated more than 4 million yuan one after another over the years, but not a penny was donated to China, and it was all given to hospitals and universities in the United States. ”
Donating to the country is equivalent to donating to the political axe, if Tian Wenjian is as rich as her, he will not donate. What's more, after four years at Harvard, I deeply understand that although the tuition is not cheap, for Chinese students like him, Harvard University still loses money. Counting two years of full scholarships, Harvard invested at least $80,000 in him.
Wu Xiaoyan's husband was surfing the Internet next door, Tian Wenjian didn't want him to hear the misunderstanding, so he immediately changed the topic and asked with a smile: "Master, you finally came back once, why don't you take this opportunity to sort out your previous works, hold an exhibition or publish a picture album or something?" ”
As a leading figure in the Photography Association, as a former red photographer, Wu Bolan certainly has this qualification. To everyone's surprise, the old man actually shook his head and said with emotion: "We have really achieved nothing in our lives, and we have taken so many photos, which is worthless." After pursuing salon photography all my life, I found that it was all photography that had nothing to do with social life, and it could not be left in history at all. ”
Seeing the stunned looks of his disciples, Wu Bolan sighed lightly and continued: "Before I went abroad, I watched the exhibition of the American photographer Mark Lubb in Beijing.
Over the years, I've always wondered why others have photographed it and not myself. Now that I think about it, it's ridiculous that I was actually caught up in the juggling of technology and concepts, and rarely took the initiative or was not so blind to record the times. ”
As a red photographer, you must obey the needs of the work, and in many cases you have to make up the shots after the fact, carry out the so-called organization processing, and manipulate the shooting to complete the task. Even if you occasionally start from your own interests and engage in some impromptu captures, it is still a minority. What is left in his life is nothing more than some flowers and plants, mountains and rivers, bottles and cans...... Compared to the photographers who record history, it really has no value.
Everyone is engaged in photojournalism, at least they have done photojournalism, how can they not hear the meaning of the old man's words?
The second senior brother sighed, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Think about it, Lang Jingshan, who went to Taiwan after the founding of the People's Republic of China, is still commemorated and respected as the 'grandmaster of Chinese photography', and has even been written into high school textbooks. And his counterparts in the country were as silent as the night sky, leaving nothing. ”
The topic is a bit heavy, and it is a bit inappropriate to talk about these things during the New Year, the old man waved his hand, smiled and said, "Don't talk about this, let's talk about the future." Chen Jie has become a family, the founding of the People's Republic of China has paid off his debts, and Wen Jiancheng has become a well-known scholar, what about you...... I also have my own business, and I can't let go of anything in China.
This person, when he gets older, he doesn't want to move, I told Xiaoyan that I won't leave when I come back this time. After the New Year, I will go back to Jiangcheng with the third child, where the climate is good, and I still stay there comfortably. ”
This news surprised everyone, and they couldn't believe that the old man would make such a decision. Tian Wenjian said impatiently: "Master, it's okay not to go, but you don't need to go to Jiangcheng anymore." If I say I don't have to go anywhere, I just live here and spend time with us. ”
Without waiting for the other disciples to speak, the old man shook his head and smiled: "When it's hot, it's hot, when it's cold, it's cold, the wind and sand are so big, and when you go out, you'll get stuck in traffic, so you can let me live a few more years." Besides, after staying in Jiangcheng for so many years, there are still a few old guys who can talk, which is much more comfortable than living. ”
Seeing that the old man had made up his mind, the second senior brother nodded slightly, and said thoughtfully: "As long as you like it, you can go anywhere." Anyway, the third family is over there, so we don't have anything to worry about. ”
"That's right."
The old man nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and asked with a smile: "Xiao Jian, there is one thing I haven't figured out. You are so good with Anzi, but why are you so close to the Qiao family? ”
Professor Tian Da entered the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, which can be regarded as half-stepping into the officialdom. From the perspective of development, it is much more reliable to choose to settle down than Qiao Wei. After all, General Qiao has been dead for so many years, and the Qiao family has no influence in the local area, and it cannot be compared with the deep-rooted An family.
Seeing everyone staring at him, Tian Wenjian had to explain with a wry smile: "It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, as everyone thinks, it must be much smoother to take refuge in the An family." But according to my observation, the An family, including Boss Yan, is far more interested in being an official than in doing things. And I just want to do something, and I don't want to be a big official. In addition, the icing on the cake is better than sending charcoal in the snow, Qiao Wei is now the most lacking time, who else can I help if I don't help him? ”
"How is Qiao Wei's character? How is the old general Bijo? Wu Bolan pondered for a moment and asked again.
Tian Wenjian pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "It's okay, at least he is an honest official." ”
Although all of you are well-informed people, they are only relatively ordinary people, and they don't know much about high-level affairs, and they can't give any advice. Because of this, after thinking about it, the senior brother put down the paper cup and reminded with concern: "Xiao Jian, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is not a good unit, and everything it does offends people, you have to be cautious." ”
Lao Wu sneered, shook his head again and again, and said, "Is there still a few people he has offended?" ”
"If you don't want to do it, you are strong, I don't think there's anything wrong with it."
After the second senior brother paused, he continued: "Think about it, if Wen Jian hadn't offended so many people, would he have today's achievements? The leaders are not stupid, they can't look at the world as black as a crow, and there is not even a person who tells the truth, right? ”
"Then do a good job, and catch a few more corrupt officials when you have real power, right...... When the time comes, you must give us some inside information, even if you don't let it be reported, it can also be used as material to engage in some anti-corruption or something. ”
Professor Tian Da was happy, and immediately laughed and said: "Don't expect me, you must know that the instructions from above to me are 'not reusable'." It's okay to run the tricks and sing high-pitched, but when you are serious, there is nothing to do with me. ”
After a long absence, the masters and apprentices talked a lot about it, and they chatted until four o'clock in the morning, and then they went back to rest. After tossing all night, the task on the first day of the new year is to sleep.
In the next four days, Professor Tian Da took Xiao Na to greet Hu Baoguo, deputy director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, Qiao Wei, deputy director of the Central Office, General Wang Leiting, deputy chief of general staff, Wang Ronghai, deputy political commissar of the Air Force, and Deputy Secretary Yan, a veteran leader who returned to Beijing for the New Year. Wu Bolan's family and Tian's father, Tian's mother, brother-in-law Liu Yonghong, sister Tian Wenjing and others traveled in the mountains and rivers until the seventh day of the first lunar month.
After going to work, Tian Wenjian did not go to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection Integrity Theory Research Center in Ping'anli, but rushed directly to the National Supervision Institute to supplement Professor Hong, an expert on anti-corruption in the system known as the "encyclopedia of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection", to supplement his professional knowledge such as anti-corruption and clean government.
“…… Comrade Xiaoping has attached great importance to the issue of opposing [***] from the very beginning of reform and opening up. He once said that if corruption and bribery are rampant, what is the point of boosting the economy? It shows that Xiaoping attaches great importance to the [***] issue, because he looks at the anti-[***] issue from the party's surname and the socialist surname. If corruption and bribery are rampant, and the nature of the party and socialism changes, what is the point? ”
The old professor's theoretical level is so high that he didn't even need to look at the materials, so he gave Tian Wenjian and his assistant Xiaoguan and said endlessly: "It can be seen from this that Comrade Xiaoping has always grasped the building of a clean and honest government as a major matter, and has proposed that economic construction and the building of a clean and honest government should be 'grasped with both hands.'" We must unswervingly build the economy and make unremitting efforts to build a clean and honest government. He is in place to oppose the building of a clean and honest government, and he is also concerned about managing the people and things around him. ”
It's good to listen to these, at least there is a theoretical basis for the next scolding, but Xiao Guan, who has just graduated with an LLM, seems to be a little impatient. Thinking that he finally entered the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, but found that he had no chance to arrest corrupt officials, he actually worked as an assistant to a professional outsider, Xiao Guan was angry, and couldn't help asking:
"Professor Hong, I have listened to your lectures, and in your words, it is not difficult to fight corruption. Even in the 10 years when you were the director of the case prosecution office, there was not a single case that could not be solved, so why didn't we go to arrest corrupt officials wholeheartedly, but instead engaged in clean government propaganda? ”
is really a fledgling stunned young man, is it as easy as you imagined to catch corrupt officials? Although Professor Tian has just joined the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, he is not ignorant of the procedures for handling cases. What's more, the Commission for Discipline Inspection still carries out its work under the leadership of the party committee at the same level, and without the instructions from above, even if the evidence is conclusive, it can't touch the tiger's buttocks.
The question of whether the tiger with the tooth was extracted or the tiger reminded Professor Hong of his former glory, and he couldn't help but laugh: "It's easy to say, I mainly used the 'prisoner's dilemma' and the 'three laws' I summarized.
One is to use the 'law of the toilet' to disperse its smell, after the implementation of shuanggui, the butt of the [***] molecule leaves the toilet, and the smell will soon float out. We, the case-handling personnel, can not only smell the taste, but also observe the color, so as to judge the severity and difficulty of the case, and prescribe the right medicine; The second is to use the law of 'the tree falls and the tree scatters' to eliminate its momentum. When people are shuanggui, the big tree falls, and there are no branches to follow. With no power attached, the monkeys will scatter one after another. The case-handling personnel can take advantage of the victory and attack each one. Or attack the panicked first, or solve the stubborn resistance first, and then move steadily and step by step.
Finally, it is to use the 'law of information asymmetry' to attack its falsehood. As long as shuanggui can be implemented, even if there is an offensive and defensive alliance before, because there is no contact with the outside world, the offensive and defensive alliance can be easily broken. What's more, [***] elements are all allied with money, material, and beauty outside the body. When the body and life of the things inside the body are threatened, the things outside the body will inevitably become the first choice for abandonment! ”
Jiang is still old and spicy, but unfortunately he has offended too many people, so he can only go to the Supervision College to teach, and he can't insist on continuing to fight corruption on the front line.
Tian Wenjian sighed and was about to say something, when Professor Hong changed his words, with a depressed expression, and said helplessly: "However, 'shuanggui' is just an expedient measure of last resort, and it is a last resort when the power structure of the party has not been reformed and the legal system has not been truly sounded.
Relying on the 'two rules' will certainly not fundamentally solve the [***] problem, but it will be more serious if you don't use [***]. Under the current general situation in which the phenomenon is spreading and spreading, cases are prone to occur frequently, the situation is still grim, and the task is still arduous, it is necessary to use 'shuanggui' not only but also 'shuanggui' with caution. ”
The old professor's words were very vague and helpless. To put it bluntly, if "shuanggui" is used too much, the impact is too bad, and if there is no deterrence, it is called terrible.
If the system is not reformed, the laws are not perfect, and supervision is not in place, it will not be possible to rely on the discipline inspection commissions alone. Tian Wenjian was very touched by the old professor's words, pondered for a moment, and asked thoughtfully: "Professor Hong, you have studied the system anti-corruption for so many years, written many valuable articles, and even appealed to your superiors, but why is there still no breakthrough in the system of anti-corruption?" ”
"Professor Tian, aren't you knowingly asking?"
Professor Hong stood up, lit a cigarette, and said with a wry smile: "To put it bluntly, the anti-corruption of the system is the reform of the political system, and it takes courage to wield a knife from the palace, and there are also great risks. Under the current system, I think the best way is to break through at the local level and standardize at the center. ”
China's reforms have never been designed at the top level, or there has been no successful top-level design. Without those peasants in Xiaogang Village, there would be no current household responsibility system; Without the Sun Zhigang incident, major cities are still sheltering and repatriating migrants...... All in all, opening up is active, and reform is passive.
Unlike other reforms, it touches the vital interests of a large number of people, can there be a breakthrough at the local level? Professor Hong's words made Tian Wenjian suddenly want to be an official, want to be a magistrate who eats crabs, even if he is a county magistrate, and his desire is so strong!
