Chapter Seventy-Seven: Kan Da Pao
Kan Zhifei, the new secretary of the municipal party committee of Nenshui City, was once called Kan Dapao for large-scale demolition and municipal construction in the place where he had worked. He said that Nenshui City is the old industrial base of the country, and has made important contributions to the construction and development of the country in the past. However, since the beginning of reform and opening up, we have gradually fallen behind, and the cadres and masses have been holding their breath. We call the reasons for falling behind the times a heavy historical burden, the difficulty of structural adjustment, the slow transformation of the system, and the lack of state support. At least we have outdated ideas here, which makes a lot of work unworkable. When I came, I deliberately checked the map and found that our city was in the entire northeast region, drawing a circle with a radius of 500-600 kilometers, and seeing that our city happened to be in the center, it is no wonder that the general's mansion was set up here during the Kangxi period to fan-shape the entire northeast region. It is not near the border, not near the sea, there is no threat, and the people here have developed a self-sufficient and comfortable mind since ancient times. In the late seventies of the last century, that is, on the eve of reform and opening up, the railway department wanted to build an art academy in JX here, but our old mayor here refused. The story is telling. I've only been here for such a short time, and my ears are full of stories that sound annoying and ridiculous. You have also heard that the mainlanders look down on our people and call us the five plains, which five plains? Raw grain, raw coal, crude oil, logs, original people, I want to remind you that this original man is in quotation marks, and people laugh at us for being an ape, who is an ape? It is an uncivilized person, a prehistoric person, a person before the appearance of writing, a barbarian, who has not been baptized by civilization. Now, let's look at where our people are going, go to the southern coast, where we have the most people, what is the southern coast? It is a place of savagery and a place of happiness. People talk about us, saying that the policies given to us are afraid that we will not use the money well, and we will not use the benefits in place, and we are afraid that something will go wrong, and we will run the project and ask for funds. Hearing such words, of course we are very angry, the son does not think that the ugly dog does not think the family is poor, although we can also scold those high-ranking officials, saying that he is not as good as pigs and dogs, who can choose to be biological parents, but also complain that we are not angry, no wonder people look down on us. Some department heads went to run projects on the top, and they fell asleep while sitting in someone's office talking about the project. There are also those who fill in an extra 0 in the amount of the reported project book. How can people afford such carelessness at work. Invite people to eat and give gifts, pick and search, I haven't seen a lot of money, and the kite under the table is too low. Indeed, we are faced with many difficult problems, such as the high debt of enterprises, the high rate of bank loans, and the large number of laid-off workers and unemployed. Against this backdrop, it is indeed difficult for us to revitalize the local economy and catch up with the developed regions. For the benefit of one party for the sake of the official, we must be at peace when we come, and all of us here must understand the hearts of the people, make the people feel good, understand the people's suffering, know the people's hatred, and prosper the people's affairs. I am determined to work together with all of you to create a new situation in the economic and social development of Nenshui City.
Then, he preached in his loud and slightly sharp voice, to develop, we need funds, but our city's capital regeneration ability is poor, how can we open up the situation? In his speech, he systematically put forward new ideas for opening up, attracting investment, introducing and developing on a large scale, and this invigorated people's spirits, and his inaugural speech was interrupted by warm applause many times. At the end, he said passionately, under the correct leadership of the provincial party committee, we should actively strive for the state's support policies, and rely on the joint efforts of the vast number of cadres and masses in the city to build Nenshui City into a paradise full of sunshine, hope, happiness and joy!
The audience burst into warm applause for a long time.
Sure enough, within two years of his tenure, the situation in Nenshui City has taken on a new look and won a good reputation. Then, for the glorious and beautiful future of Nenshui City, Secretary Kan is brewing new big moves and launching big measures, putting forward a new urban development blueprint, realizing the western development of Nenshui City, moving the center of gravity of the city to the west, and taking the Nenshui flowing through the west of Nenshui City as the central axis of the city. Unexpectedly, as soon as this strategic measure was introduced, it would attract opposition from the upper echelons, and he held a forum for people from all walks of life to solicit opinions, observe the reactions of people of insight, and wanted to draw support from the people.
Before the Spring Festival this year, Wu Wei received a call from the CPPCC Secretariat, informing him to attend a forum convened by Secretary Kan to represent intellectuals with outstanding contributions in the city. After Wu Wei went, he put forward the strategic concept of developing JX New District around urban construction at the symposium, which coincided with Secretary Kan's concept, and was highly praised by Secretary Kan, who called him a bosom friend with emotion, and it was a good story for a while.
A year later, after full deliberation and preparation, Secretary Kan began to implement the first step of the city's western development, moving the party and government office center westward to the riverside, and he imagined that this measure would be welcomed and supported by the people of Nenshui City, and would realize the long-term dream of the people of Nenshui City for urban development. In the process of implementation, but encountered the stubborn resistance of the nail household, which aroused the pride of Secretary Kan more and more, he was originally an imaginative, bold and bold character, the more he encountered the opposite, the more he could stimulate his fighting spirit, he was always full of confidence in what he did, he did not believe that this good thing and a big thing to create a new world in the future of the city could not be done. Therefore, the first use of organizational means, all the party and government cadres in the relocation area of the leaders of enterprises and institutions will move out within a time limit, violators have positions on the spot, no positions are transferred from the original post within a time limit, a move was formed under an order, and it also affected and drove other households to move out, after several setbacks, only a few elderly people remained, refusing to move out. Through patient and meticulous work, there is no effect, these nail households, the reason for not moving is not the usual relocation compensation does not meet the requirements, nor is it the general old concept, but because these families are located in the old city of Nenshui City, where the ancestors once lived, naturally there is ancestral feng shui to bless future generations, no matter how hard the cadres do to mobilize and persuade, horizontal and vertical. Secretary Kan decided to use forced demolition, in the city where he was the mayor, he had the experience of using forced demolition, and the forced demolition actually alarmed the high-level, and finally ended with the withdrawal of nail households.
Someone suggested to Secretary Kan that it was inappropriate to use forced demolition methods to deal with such old brains, and that the use of a reversal mechanism could be considered.
Secretary Kan asked curiously what the forcing mechanism means?
The donor said, very simply, the implementation of water, electricity and gas cut-off for the remaining families, so that they can not survive in that area slowly force them to want to move out, this measure is more effective than other measures, although it sounds a little yin, but there is no better way, just those few households affect the overall delay of the construction period, the progress of the project is affected, not to mention, those who have moved out of the follow-up resettlement will be seriously affected.
As soon as Secretary Kan heard that it was reasonable, he acted according to the plan, fearing that it would provoke an incident and asked the relevant departments to pay close attention to the trend. In the first few days, those households still had a fluke mentality, thinking that it was just a temporary measure taken by the above, but with the passage of time, such a ruthless use of the reversal mechanism simply forced these old people to a desperate situation where they could not live, and after strong protests, the relevant departments were unmoved, and the resistance front always began to change from the most vulnerable place, but this change did not shake the confidence of the resistance and cause the relocation as expected by the upper echelons, and unexpectedly caused a vicious incident in which human lives were at stake. An elderly man jumped out of despair from a desperate situation and lost confidence in life, so he even committed suicide by jumping off a building in protest. As a result, several other families of the elderly and their children were emotional, although the scale of the incident was small, but the intensity of resistance was fierce, those people actually carried the body of the old man who jumped off the building to the door of the municipal party committee and government to demonstrate and protest, and used police force to block and trigger a fierce confrontation, the matter was out of control, and some reporters stabbed the internal staff and finally alarmed the high-level, causing the anger of the high-level, and strictly ordered the Nenshui City Party and Government Office Center to suspend the westward relocation project, and gave Secretary Kan the punishment of dismissal, and demanded proper handling of the residents who refused to move, and demanded that the stability work be further done.
Although Kan Zhixiong was dismissed, the vast majority of the citizens have a sympathetic attitude towards his fate, and the cadres also say that he is full of pioneering spirit, courage, insight and creation, and they all feel sorry for him, even those few nail households feel sudden in the face of such a situation, they say that they do not hate cadres like Secretary Kan, and they also know in their hearts that Secretary Kan has won a high prestige in Nenshui City in recent years, and has a good reputation among the citizens. They think that he is a leading cadre who is very popular with the people and has a great future, but they feel that they have lost their official position because of the trouble they have made, and they even feel a little guilty for their actions, so they can only silently endure the accusations, sarcasm, ridicule, and indignant eyes and comments of the surrounding residents.
There is also another kind of discussion about such an incident, saying that the old man who jumped off the building is too innocent, although there is such a beautiful reason for moving, but it is not possible to use such means to deal with the refusal, some countries are very respectful, and the street is not so straight and wide and bright, but twisted and crooked in different widths, which seems to make people feel blocked in their hearts, but the wishes of the residents have been greatly considerate and respected. The discussion also mentioned that the second president of the United States, Adams, once defended the British soldiers, at that time, although the United States was independent, there were still British troops stationed, and in one state American citizens clashed with British soldiers, British soldiers shot and killed two Americans, and the crowd was angry and demanded that the murderers be severely punished. In this situation, Adams, a lawyer, stood up to defend the British soldiers, preaching in France that protecting the innocent was more important than punishing the guilty, and the result was that the court acquitted the British soldiers. The barrister in the novel "The Kamarazov Brothers" also once said that it is better to let ten criminals go than to harm one innocent. As soon as the topic opened, new discussions were introduced, some people said, in ancient China, one person broke the law and connected the nine tribes, did he hurt his own innocence? It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go, it is a more indiscriminate killing of innocents than the nine clans of Zhulian, and it is hatred that is planted, so that the red ** species is as easy as gene replication. The black five categories during the special period are not also hurting the innocent. Some people also asked, why is it more important to protect the innocent than to punish the guilty? The answer is that the next innocent is you.
These discussions also reached Kan Zhifei's ears and caused him to reflect deeply. He repeatedly pondered whether there was a problem with the concept of seeking the interests of the vast majority of people that was ingrained in his mind, and a new question gradually sprouted in his brain, whether the legitimate rights and interests of the minority could be infringed upon and harmed because of the interests of the majority. Law is also formulated under the control of certain ideological concepts, and he remembered that Montesquieu once quoted a sentence in his commentary in his book "On the Spirit of Law" that the interests of the people are the supreme law. But in this vicious incident caused by himself, how do you look at the conflict of interests between the interests of the people of Nenshui City and those nail households? Do the interests of the majority or the human rights of the minority matter? Is there a trade-off between human rights issues? If we affirm that the human rights interests of the majority are important, can we use the interests of the majority to infringe upon and trample on and deprive the legitimate rights and interests of the minority, or even arbitrarily deprive them of their right to exist, and even ruthlessly sweep them into the dustbin of history together with those few people? Using the tears, blood, and even corpses of innocent old people as pedestals to pave spacious and smooth avenues and build high-rise buildings is worth rethinking. This is the moral basis for high compensation for evicted households. Secretary Kan left his favorite job and the citizens he loved with such a series of questions.
In my country, the issue of morality and human rights has begun to give rise to profound reflection, which has resulted in the emergence of many new trends. The code of conduct for primary and secondary school students has deleted the courage to fight against bad people and bad things; It is forbidden to mobilize primary and secondary school students to participate in disaster relief activities. It is a respect for the value of human life and no longer encourages and supports senseless sacrifices in the name of exaltation. What has touched our moral values even more deeply is that the incident that occurred in Nenshui City, it is difficult for us to estimate the far-reaching impact of this incident on the deep-rooted moral value system and behavior mode, but it will at least cause a repositioning of the coordinates of moral values.
The moral thinking triggered by the demolition and relocation incident is how to deal with the relationship between the interests of the majority and the interests of the minority, and the final conclusion is that the legitimate interests of the minority cannot be harmed or infringed upon because of the interests of the majority, and naturally, the government cannot be allowed to abuse administrative power in the name of the interests of the majority. We believe that acts that represent the interests of the majority, that is, acts that bring a sense of nobility to our hearts, are not necessarily legal, and it is not permissible to infringe upon or harm the legitimate interests of the minority in the name of representing the interests of the majority. Kan Zhifei, who was dismissed, brought people's feelings and reactions to be so complicated, some people said that he was a cool official and a black sheep in the party; There are also people who complain about him, admiring his character and official character, calling him a soldier who was injured in the struggle, and expressing regret for his defeat; Even the nail household, who stands on the opposite side of the government, has no ill will towards him.
After further in-depth thinking, Kan Zhifei himself wrote my book of reflection, questioning his long-held moral concept, which he believes will bring about a new breakthrough and leap in the concept of governance. In his book of reflection, he wrote, we have to reflect and scrutinize the moral values we uphold. Moral nobility can no longer justify unrestricted conduct. The process of pursuing the noble can also have disastrous consequences for the people, for which it will pay a heavy price. The majority of the people cannot use the superiority and strength of the majority to arbitrarily deprive and infringe on the legitimate interests of a very small number of people, and the interests of the majority also need to be brought into the track of compliance with the law to be realized. Only noble pursuit + scientific argumentation + rigorous style + legitimacy = good effect is a commendable and respected behavior model. Only in this way can we more effectively prevent the abolition of noble pursuits from being abused and from allowing hypocritical vices and individuals or cliques to flourish viciously. Today's life itself is undergoing substantial changes, and noble pursuits need to withstand unprecedented severe tests and challenges in various forms in order to maintain their purity and solemnity. He said in the reflection book, although he himself retired from the political arena, but he is willing to contribute to the country's political civilization construction and progress through his own lessons and reflections, he can make such a deep thinking when he feels deeply guilty and heartbroken, not only to help himself get rid of the spiritual predicament and spiritual distress, he seems to have entered a new spiritual realm, his reflection book has inspired new thinking at the top level, and a series of new designs began to brew and plan, And it has brought new opportunities to Kan Zhifei's comeback.
Wu Wei learned about Kan Zhifei's movements through reading newspapers and periodicals, which triggered him to think further about music, whether music can be a reason to hurt people. How can there be work that does not hurt people, it has simply become a workplace rule.
