July 1, 1998, 19:30 Pingyang, Little Red Building

“…… The air here is filled with the smell of centuries of history. It is a microcosm of our 100-year history of Pingyang, and it can also be said to be a microcosm of China's 100-year history. Comrade Xinxiang, you see, this is a photo of the little red building when it was completed in 1896. Judging from the background of this photo, Pingyang was very desolate at that time. However, Binh Duong, as a big city in eastern China, started at that time. The imperialist powers opened the door to China with strong ships and artillery, bringing a century of disaster to the Chinese people, and at the same time giving birth to a number of new cities in China's coastal areas, such as Shanghai, **, and our Pingyang. ”

"Look, this picture is different. This is Pingyang in 1910, and the Little Red Mansion has been integrated into these buildings with remarkable Western architectural characteristics, and it is not so conspicuous. The period from 1896 to 1910 was 15 years, which was the initial stage of the construction of Binh Duong, and it was a dynamic stage. Because of the paucity of historical data, the situation at that time is not very clear, but in my imagination, there must have been a lot of construction everywhere. Later, it was a period of solidification, and it was not until the thirties that the Japanese invaded Binh Duong and began to expand the city eastward. ”

Comrade Xinxiang, if you compare these two photos, yes, these are these two photos, Xiaohonglou was the Japanese secret service department at that time. Do you see anything? Xiaohonglou is no longer the city center, and after the eastward expansion, the city center has been moved to the current Minzhu Road. The road of democracy is not democratic, it was pushed out by the Japanese with tanks. The devil doesn't tell you about the demolition policy, you have to leave if you drive you away, and if you don't go, his tank will come up. Therefore, some of our comrades have developed the erroneous understanding that sometimes it is necessary to engage in a fascist style in urban construction. Let me declare, Comrade Xinxiang, I do not approve of this.

"The eastward expansion of the city is the second dynamic stage of Binh Duong. The third dynamic phase is these two decades. In the past 20 years, Pingyang City has expanded five times and grown seven times taller, and this three-story little red building is not even a grandson in front of those modern skyscrapers. History is so ruthless and so amorous. When you are ruthless, you will be frozen for decades, and when you are amorous, you will change day by day, and one day is equal to many years. ”

Gao Changhe pointed to the newly hung photos in the foyer downstairs and introduced the history of the Little Red House to Li Xinxiang.

Li Xinxiang listened carefully and watched, almost forgetting the purpose of coming here for a while.

Gao Changhe was obviously very proud: "These photos were hung up by the comrades in the guest house after I came. Take a look at it when I'm fine, and let all the comrades who came here to report to me take a look. As a city manager, it's not okay not to know the history of your city. It's good for you guests from other places to take a look, appreciate the historical scenery of this place, and have a little more perceptual understanding of Binh Duong. Isn't it, Comrade Xinxiang? ”

Li Xinxiang nodded: "Yes, Secretary Gao, if you don't introduce it today, I really didn't know that this small building has such a big name and history." ”

Gao Changhe said: "Okay, you can take a good look, there is also a new data room over there, has collected a lot of historical information about the Little Red Mansion, ready to declare the cultural relics protection unit, Director Liu will accompany you to see, I will first read your big article, after reading, we will exchange views." ”

Li Xinxiang said: "Okay, Secretary Gao, leave us alone." ”

After Gao Changhe went upstairs, Liu Yiru accompanied Li Xinxiang to continue to look at historical photos and materials.

Li Xinxiang said quickly: "Director Liu, Secretary Gao doesn't seem to be bad, not like a bad bureaucrat." ”

Liu Yiru was stunned for a moment and didn't dare to pick up the stubble.

Li Xinxiang said again: "There are villains around power, I'm afraid Secretary Gao is a villain!" ”

Liu Yiru was a little displeased: "Reporter Li, you ...... What do you mean? ”

Li Xinxiang found that she said it inappropriately, and hurriedly said: "Director Liu, don't get me wrong, I don't mean the cadres around Secretary Gao, I mean something else." Director Liu, do you know? Your female county magistrate Jin Hua of Lieshan County is not a good person, she is bureaucratic and doesn't care about the life and death of the people, but she went to Secretary Gao to sue them for the evil situation of Tian Liye, secretary of the county party committee, and let Tian Liye be reprimanded by Secretary Gao for no reason! ”

Liu Yiru was surprised: "Oh, reporter Li, what have you heard?" ”

Li Xinxiang said: "Go back and talk to Secretary Gao, if Secretary Gao is unlucky, he will have to follow the female county magistrate to be unlucky!" ”

Liu Yiru immediately understood what was going on: "Is it the benzene poisoning of the workers of Daming Company?" ”

Li Xinxiang said: "Yes, twenty-five workers have already suffered from leukemia, and the consequences are too serious!" ”

Liu Yiru said: "Reporter Li, Secretary Gao already knows about this, I think, you don't have to talk to him." ”

Li Xinxiang said: "What does Secretary Gao know? Before I came, I was having dinner with Tian Liye, and I heard Secretary Gao call to train Tian Liye......"

Liu Yiru's heart sank: Now the problem is serious, as long as this female reporter and Gao Changhe say, it will be completely too late for her daughter to take remedial measures. After thinking nervously for a long time, I finally decided to rush ahead of the female reporter to turn the tide.

So, Liu Yiru asked Li Xinxiang to sit down in the data room, enthusiastically found some information for Li Xinxiang to see, and went upstairs to see Gao Changhe first.

Gao Changhe was already immersed in Li Xinxiang's big article at this time, and when he saw Liu Yiru coming up, he didn't pay much attention to it, and waved the article in his hand and said: "Director Liu, this Li Xinxiang is very powerful, she is not our Tian Xiucai, she is worthy of being a big reporter of the country's authoritative news agency, the article is profound and sharp, and the problems revealed can be said to be thrilling!" ”

Liu Yiru responded and said: "Of course, how can we Tian Xiucai compare with other big reporters." ”

Gao Changhe was still admiring: "This reporter comrade has a professional spirit, and he has a very detailed understanding of the investigation of our flat rolling mill, which is more detailed than some of our comrades who are specifically responsible for the work of the flat rolling mill, and the article is very convincing!" ”

Liu Yiru didn't want to lose this last opportunity, so she responded to something, and immediately turned the topic to the matter of Daming Company: "...... Secretary Gao, I have an urgent matter to report to you: Lieshan just came to a phone call, it was Jinhua calling, and I must report to you immediately: Daming Company's H state-owned assets are too bad, only caring about making money, regardless of the life and death of our Chinese workers, and has caused 25 Chinese workers to suffer from aplastic anemia, that is, leukemia. The specific situation, after further verification by Jinhua, will report to you! ”

Gao Changhe was surprised: "Twenty-five people suffer from leukemia? Why didn't Jinhua say it during the afternoon report? ”

Liu Yiru said: "She didn't know at that time, and the situation hadn't been figured out yet." ”

Gao Changhe was angry: "I didn't figure out the situation, what are you reporting to me?!" Why didn't the blood and tears factory that careless of human life be closed? Director Liu, you call Jinhua immediately and ask her to check overnight! Check it out and report it to me clearly! No matter what time of year it is, call here! I'm waiting! ”

Liu Yiru responded again and again: "Okay, good." ”

Gao Changhe waved his hand: "Call Reporter Li to come up!" ”

After Li Xinxiang came up, Gao Changhe's face smiled again, and said, "Comrade Xinxiang, I have read the article roughly, how can I say it?" It is well written, and my impression is eight words: deep and sharp, thrilling. ”

Li Xinxiang said: "It's not that I write well, it's that the historical lessons of the flat rolling mill are thrilling." ”

Gao Changhe nodded: "Yes, this historical lesson is too heavy, and it is still dragging us down to this day." You may not know that in addition to Mayor Wen Chunming and the comrades of the workers who participated in the fund-raising, there are many comrades who have been victimized in disguise. For example, their factory director He Zhuoxiao, such as the factory's electrician Zhao Yecheng and his wife. Not to mention these, the tuition fee of 1.2 billion has been paid, and we must now face the reality and put an end to this passive situation of the flat rolling mill. So, my personal opinion is that you still need to change this article. ”

Li Xinxiang became a little vigilant: "Secretary Gao, how to change?" We've been staring at this article. As we said, this is not a matter of your Pingyang alone, it is a typical case under the old system in the past, and there are many similar cases like flat rolling mills. You only need to be responsible for the facts, and we are responsible for the rest. ”

Gao Changhe said with a smile: "Comrade Xinxiang, don't worry, I won't affect your typical significance." ”

Li Xinxiang still insisted: "Secretary Gao, let me ask you one sentence: Is there any discrepancy in the article in fact?" ”

Gao Changhe still smiled: "According to the situation I have so far, there is no big difference. ”

Li Xinxiang said: "That's okay, I'm responsible for it." When I interviewed Mayor Wen Chunming, Mayor Wen Chunming also said that he was responsible for the facts, and I was responsible for the text. Secretary Gao, your mind is not as emancipated as Mayor Wen. ”

Gao Changhe said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Of course, you rehabilitated Mayor Wen in this article, and I am upset for Mayor Wen after reading it......"

Li Xinxiang hurriedly said: "Hey, Secretary Gao, let me state that this article hasn't been read by Mayor Wen yet." ”

Gao Changhe didn't answer Li Xinxiang's words, sighed, and said: "Comrade Xinxiang, you must know that the problem of the flat rolling mill is too sensitive, and there are too many leaders and departments involved. Seriously, I was firmly opposed to you writing this article, so I knew you were in Binh Duong, but I never saw you. After thinking about it for a while, now, my point of view has changed, and I support you in publishing this article. However, let's also discuss whether we can change it? Change it without breaking your bones? ”

Li Xinxiang asked: "In what ways to change?" ”

Gao Changhe picked up the sample and said, "Three aspects." First, can the main leading comrades of our province be deleted as much as possible in the article? Let's be clear, it's the paragraph involving Governor Chen Honghe. If you write like this, my life will not be easy. Second, can the part involving the hospitality and gift of Beijing-related units be downplayed? You have to take care of all aspects of the impact. Thirdly, the city has decided to let the flat rolling mill accept the merger of the Eastern Iron and Steel Group, and there are currently intensive negotiations, can you bring a note in the article? This matter is still grasped by Mayor Wen, Mayor Wen is not simple, he has suffered so many grievances and is still responsible for the flat rolling mill under so much pressure. This comrade takes into account the overall situation and never considers personal gains and losses, personal face! ”

Li Xinxiang thought about it and agreed: "Okay, I will delete the paragraph involving your governor Chen Honghe." When it comes to treats and gifts, I don't name anyone. As for the acceptance of the merger, I will have to investigate it again. ”

Gao Changhe smiled and said, "Okay, okay, thank you for your understanding of us." ”

Li Xinxiang also smiled: "Actually, I also know in my heart, the paragraph involving Governor Chen Honghe, I just don't delete it, and we have to delete it for me." After that, the topic changed, and he suddenly said, "Secretary Gao, since you also evaluate Wen Chunming so objectively and fairly, then, I take the liberty of asking: If Mayor Wen Chunming is not dragged down by this flat rolling mill, will he take over as secretary of the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee when Comrade Jiang Chaolin retires?" ”

Gao Changhe was stunned: "I am neither the head of the organization department of the provincial party committee nor the secretary of the provincial party committee, so I have nothing to comment on this." ”
