Chapter 725: A Clash of Ideas
The news that the Linghe Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government were going to hold a grand celebration on October 1 caused a sensation throughout Lingnan in a blink of an eye, and the first reaction of many leaders of prefecture-level cities when they saw the newspaper report was that they were dazzled. It costs a lot of money to hold a celebration, and can the financial situation of Linghe City make ends meet?
You must know that Linghe City is a member of the Three Musketeers of Lingnan, and it is the poorest prefecture-level city in Lingnan, and it has always only reached out to the provincial party committee, the provincial government and the central government to ask for money and resources, and I haven't seen such a big move for many years!
The cadres and masses of Linghe City not only did not have the slightest accusation and complaint about the behavior of the municipal party committee and municipal government to spend money this time, but raised their hands to warmly welcome it, and the streets and alleys were talking about this matter excitedly.
People in all cities in Lingnan are saying that the poor roots of Linghe City have been rooted to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, and if you want to turn over, you don't know the Year of the Monkey! Just because of poverty, even girls from other cities are reluctant to marry in Linghe City, which shows what kind of reputation this place has.
Living in this environment for a long time, the psychology of all the cadres and masses is extremely depressed, and they feel that they can't hold their heads up when they see people, and they are embarrassed to talk to people and say that their hometown is in Linghe City.
The changes in the city in the last half a year are all in the eyes of the heart, now after the wind and rain there is a rainbow, good days are coming soon, a happy life beckons to everyone, the municipal party committee and the municipal government of this initiative, especially let everyone feel happy, do well. Get it right. Look who dares to say that the people of Linghe City can't turn over!
There are also people who have put forward different opinions and accusations about this. Guo Yandong, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Changhai Municipal Party Committee, thought that this practice was very undesirable, and he told the two bosses: "The central government is currently advocating economy, and all celebrations must be simplified. ”
Fang Dehui said quietly: "What does Comrade Yandong think? Guo Yandong said solemnly: "The provincial party committee and the provincial government should deal with such wrong ideas and practices. Severe criticism was put forward, and it was quickly stopped, and the relevant responsible persons were dealt with with with demerits. We can't ignore the power of the media, some people have already begun to attack the Linghe Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government on the Internet, and it will inevitably cause a strong controversy in a short period of time, and the speed of this kind of news is very fast, and the central leaders know about it and we have not reacted in time, not only will it be particularly passive, but also the responsibility for poor supervision cannot be escaped. ”
originally thought that these words could resonate with the boss, but Guo Yandong waited for a long time and didn't hear the answer he wanted. He wondered a little, what the hell was going on?
Zhou Xiliang said lightly: "Comrade Yandong." The central government opposes extravagance and waste, not necessary celebrations, and don't you know what kind of holiday October 1 is? What was Linghe City like in the past, and what is it like now, can you really not see it with your eyes? ”
He continued: "The cadres and masses of Linghe City need such activities to stimulate their strong fighting spirit and extreme desire for a happy life, which also includes love for the motherland and affirmation and support for the achievements made by our party since it came to power. If you can make so many shining points in Changhai City, I will also approve you to hold a more grand celebration. ”
Guo Yandong is very unconvinced, you can do whatever you want if you make achievements, what kind of argument is this, you are too protective of that Gao Jianbin, right? For the sake of the reputation of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, and for the sake of everyone, how will the central leaders view Lingnan when there is a big celebration during the National Day Day?
Fang Dehui said: "As far as I know, the celebration method of the Linghe Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government is just to hold a patriotic education activity, hold a national art evening, buy some daily necessities to comfort the lonely elderly and orphans, condolences to teachers and people's police, condolences to the officers and soldiers of the garrison and armed police, all the expenses add up to less than half of the expenses of your Changhai City to invite celebrities, and how many more things have been done than you, and how far-reaching is the significance?" ”
Guo Yandong regretted wanting to hit the wall when he heard this, he used to do this kind of activity before, he has been doing this for many years, and he is a bit lavish in spending money, he is a butt of shit, and he hasn't figured out a way to wipe it clean, how can he be qualified to blame others, but now it's good, he will be burned!
Fang Dehui continued: "They are all to meet the spiritual and cultural life of the people, but the party in Linghe City is all to carry forward the national cultural heritage, the program is national song and dance, classical musical instrument performance, folk talent performance, I heard that there are cross talk and sketches, and you, in addition to the hotness of song and dance, is the love of popular songs, vulgar!" ”
Zhou Xiliang continued: "Don't keep your eyes on others, but avoid talking about your own mistakes, this is a very incorrect way. Lingnan has a long history and cultural heritage, how many precious treasures have been left to us by our ancestors waiting to be discovered, and the cultural department of Changhai City has made achievements in this regard? Is it to treat Eleven with such an activity? I don't understand how the Changhai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government manage their subordinate departments, and what kind of responsibilities you, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, have to bear! ”
Fang Dehui said: "Comrade Yandong, you have to understand the fact that Changhai City is the provincial capital of Lingnan and a city with great influence in the whole country. After going back, reflect on it, don't even be on that kind of popular program, the Lingnan Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government can't afford to lose such a person! ”
Guo Yandong returned to his own office from the secretary's office in a gloomy manner, and as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, he also has his own office in the Provincial Party Committee Office Building. I made a cup of tea and lit a cigarette, and felt the sunlight outside the window a little dazzling, so I stood up and closed the curtains.
Guo Yandong was in a very bad mood, and with the help of the spirit of the central government, he thought that he had seized Gao Jianbin's handle and wanted to take Linghe City, but this time it was not only self-defeating but did not realize his original intention. And the result of the development of things. But let him sit on wax directly!
The fox didn't fight, but made a fuss. The two bosses not only criticized him, but also asked him to cancel the original show, and he couldn't think of how to deal with it. The program of the party to celebrate the eleventh day has been determined, and which celebrities will appear to participate in the event have also been announced in advance by the media, if the content of the party is completely changed, not only will Changhai City lose a lot, but it will also be too late in time.
What makes Guo Yandong even more troublesome is that these stars are all a film and television culture media company in Kyoto. It took a lot of effort to invite, and these people can be called celebrities in the entertainment industry, and the appearance fee is quite high. Especially for several king-level or diva-level stars from Baodao and the Special Economic Zone, the appearance fee is about two to three million yuan, all of which add up to quite an astonishing amount.
Moreover, the city government has already paid 50% of the fees in advance, and now it is a unilateral breach of contract by Changhai City not to let people come, and the amount of compensation is also extremely terrifying. Besides, this Kyoto company has a very deep background, and he can't afford to offend, so if he doesn't want to give money, he won't have a door!
What made Guo Yandong feel bad the most was that. The money is easy to say, and the dignified provincial capital is not bad for two or three million yuan. But once the program is to be changed, words don't count, where will the face of the municipal party committee and municipal government go? The audience who came to enjoy the party with hope may have to make trouble at the venue, and it will not be just a shame when the time comes, it is estimated that even he will be implicated in class!
"Linghe Daily" made a large report on Gao Jianbin's speech when he inspected the song and dance troupe in the form of a front-page headline, and quickly printed a strong controversy in the online media. Subsequently, the "Lingnan Daily" and many major newspapers in the prefecture and city also reprinted it one after another, and how to build a spiritual and cultural life has become an important topic for people.
Many people used extremely sharp language to attack Gao Jianbin's remarks on the Internet, and for a time he was pushed to the cusp of public opinion, and these people all criticized him for wanting to bind people's thoughts and lives, depriving people of their freedom, in a word, now we have entered a new era of high-tech development, people's ideas and lifestyles are very different from before, what we like and what we are willing to do is our own business, you are a vice governor!
But more people chose to support Gao Jianbin, thinking that he was an excellent leading cadre, and what he said was practical, our ancestors left us so many things, why did we forget the splendid civilization of the nation for thousands of years when we were affected by external factors?
When the popular elements are abundant, do we have to abandon the traditional cultural elements? There are so many people abroad who are studying the traditional culture of our country, but some people just regard other people's things as treasures and regard the precious wealth of their own nation as dross.
As soon as Gao Jianbin returned home after work, Li Rong said to him with a smile: "Jianbin, you are really capable, you went to the song and dance troupe to inspect and say a few words, which caused a big quarrel on the Internet. ”
Song Xiangyu did not shy away from hugging Gao Jianbin's neck and kissing him, and said: "Look at how good the man we have chosen, now not only the online media, but also many scholars and experts have also participated in it, publishing articles and debating each other, and there has been a boom on the university campus, from professors to students, many people are discussing this issue, and it is a mess that is booming, and it has become something that no one can control." ”
Gao Jianbin said with a wry smile: "It's not that I'm so capable, but that my words have stimulated many people's nerves, and everyone feels a little toothache, stomach pain, and liver pain." Celebrities have a huge fan base, and as long as my words involve the idols of the star chaser family, it is definitely more powerful than scolding me, which has become an unforgivable mistake. You may not know that in front of the Municipal Party Committee Office Building, there is even a group of boys and girls holding signs to protest, calling me a **tyrant who burns books and pits Confucianism, and I don't know whether I cry or laugh, it's really a great sadness. ”
The Lingnan Provincial Party Committee and Government first expressed a positive attitude toward this incident and demanded that the leaders of various localities and cities learn from the Linghe Municipal Party Committee and Government, carry forward and develop traditional culture, and improve the spiritual and cultural life of the people.
Zhang Zhihao called and said: "Governor Gao, this incident can be regarded as the first shot fired by you after you became vice governor, so it seems a bit inaccurate to say this, it should be a nuclear bomb." Not only we Lingnan. Even in the whole country, it has immeasurable power. Gao Jianbin said with a smile: "It's not as exaggerated as you say, right?" ”
Zhang Zhihao said: "It's not an exaggeration at all. It is said that the provincial party committee and the provincial government of Jiangbei Province have also sent notices to all cities under their jurisdiction and asked them to study your speech. ”
Guo Yongjian also called and said: "Jianbin, if there is such a good thing in the future, tell me in advance, we are old classmates, old friends, and old brothers." Let me dip you too. ”
Gao Jianbin wondered: "What kind of good thing, which door do you want to touch?" Guo Yongjian said: "It's not what you said when you inspected the Linghe City National Song and Dance Troupe, after the discussion and decision of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government jointly issued a document, requiring all leaders of prefecture-level cities to learn your ideas and practices, and increase the intensity of the construction of the people's spiritual and cultural life, and explore the local cultural and historical heritage. ”
Almost all those who are familiar with it conveyed the same message, and even Li Shenghua called because of this incident, saying: "We can pay attention to the construction of the spiritual and cultural life of the people while developing material civilization." In particular, the excavation and development of history and culture is a very good move. Even the chief is happy for you, and several other leaders have also given full affirmation and appreciation to your approach, and many retired old leaders are also full of praise for you, originally thought that you were still grasping economic construction as always, but what you did this time is far more meaningful than the take-off of Linghe City. ”
Gao Jianbin said: "I've been a little anxious these days, and I didn't expect that there would be so many arguments and arguments because of what I said. Li Shenghua said with a smile: "As long as you have the country and the people in your heart, you naturally have the strongest backing, anyone wants to use this kind of thing to defeat you, and some people don't agree, what else do you have to worry about?" You get ready, the "National Party Daily" is going to make a move recently! ”
Before Gao Jianbin could react to the meaning of this sentence, the day after Li Shenghua finished making the phone call, the "State Party Daily" reprinted the relevant report of the "Linghe Daily" in full, giving high praise and support to Gao Jianbin's words. The strength of this newspaper is not trivial, it can be described as the country's weather vane and mouthpiece, and it is one of the most authoritative media.
The leading cadres who complained a lot about Gao Jianbin because of this incident were also dumbfounded after seeing the newspaper, didn't they see that the "National Party Daily" had published an editorial on this? The editorial is not a commentator's article, but the most influential and authoritative news commentary, which shows that the attitude of the central authorities is already very clear, and the attitude is to support Gao Jianbin.
On the third day, Gao Jianbin received Yang Xue, a reporter from the national television station, and Qing Song, a reporter from the "National Party Daily", in the office of the secretary of the municipal party committee.
As soon as they met, Yang Xue said with a smile: "Vice Governor Gao, this is the third time we have met, right?" Gao Jianbin also smiled and said: "The frequency of meetings seems to be a bit high, but I don't mind, and you uncrowned kings are welcome at any time." ”
Qing Song is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a very elegant temperament, sharp and bright eyes, and at first glance he is the mature and sophisticated type. The first time I met Gao Jianbin, the legendary vice governor, although I was very familiar with his information, I was also surprised to see that there were panda special cigarettes on his coffee table.
As a veteran journalist, Qingsong has interviewed party and state leaders many times, and occasionally saw this kind of cigarette from the leaders who smoked, and the vast majority of the leaders did not smoke, but there were exceptions, but it was impossible to see them in public. But when he went to the province and city to interview, he had never seen a leader who smoked this kind of giant panda, and Gao Jianbin was indeed quite special.
Qingsong often stays up late to write, so he is also a senior smoker, and when Gao Jianbin handed him a cigarette, he still didn't resist the temptation of the giant panda and smoked one.
Gao Jianbin said in an interview: "A nation's culture is standing on the foundation of all nations in the world, without its own cultural traditions, it will lose its status and influence, many people like to say a word, foreign monks will chant scriptures, this should be analyzed from different angles, foreign things are not necessarily good, like money worship, everywhere is criticized." ”
Then he said: "Once the framework and foundation of traditional culture are destroyed, it will inevitably lead to the emergence of cynicism and nihilism, and civilization will disappear with it." No one has to copy the traditional culture as it is, but to absorb the essence of its dross, and there is innovation, and the purpose of innovation is not to destroy the conservatism, but to better continue this conservatism, so that it can radiate new vitality and become a new civilization that combines with modernity and adapts to the contemporary, and continues from generation to generation. ”
