Chapter 693 Visit

"God, I really want to settle here," said the people of the foreign missions, walking through the streets of Hengsha Island, and many of them exclaimed.

Without exception, they all rejected the sightseeing car prepared by the Chongming government in advance, and chose to have a close contact with the island on foot.

Now that the Jianghai Wharf has been rebuilt, everyone came out of the wharf and went on the Fumin Sand Road. There are many houses on both sides of the road, there are parks nearby, and although the fertile fields account for most of the area of Hengsha Island, their locations have been scientifically planned, and they do not conflict with the houses at all.

Several buses followed the missions, which had been requisitioned by the government to assist the members of the mission, but they did not want to sit on the buses, but wanted to walk and see.

There are not many pedestrians on the road today, and the government has notified the people on the island after arranging the visit of the mission, and some units have even arranged a holiday without affecting their work.

There was a small road on the side of the road in front of them that extended to the west, and several members of the mission looked curiously there, and after the explanation of the Chinese officials accompanying them, they realized that it was a nursing home inside.

"It's about the same as your nursing center." The accompanying Chinese official introduced.

"I'd like to go in and have a look, can I? It shouldn't bother the old people inside, right? "There was an application from the visiting team.

"Wait a minute, I'll go talk first."

Everyone waited on the side of the road, watching the Chinese official go to the nursing home, and some people were looking around, because when they came all the way, everything they saw and heard here felt both familiar and unfamiliar.

"In the past, Hawaii was the best place to go, but now I don't see it that way, I just want to stay here."

"Hawaii? Sunning on the beach with zombies? ”

"How do you say that the Chinese people do it, I didn't see a shadow of a zombie on that island called Chongming, and it is the same here, and I heard that there is also an island called Changxing."

"Who knows, what a magical country."

Unbeknownst to him, the members of the foreign missions behind him were shocked by the stability and prosperity of the island, so he went to the nursing home and found Luo Qiongfen, the person in charge of the place.

"Are they going to come in and visit, welcome," Luo Qiongfen had received a notice from the government before, knowing that some foreigners would come to visit the island today, she didn't expect that these foreigners would be interested in coming to the nursing home to have a look, and she was slightly surprised.

After receiving the answer, some people who were interested in the nursing home went inside, they looked around, and a few of them tried to communicate with the elderly inside.

There are also elderly people who can speak English in the nursing home, and these elderly people who can speak English act as interpreters, and the members of the foreign missions who come to visit have an in-depth understanding of Hengsha Island.

"See? Frank, this is the paradise after the disaster," a member of the mission sighed to his companion as he came out, "and if it were a refuge for our country, it would be hard to say that a person of that age would be able to live so easily and leisurely." ”

"You're right, Duke, although we don't have to worry about the problems of getting old, but now most people will be marginalized in the camp when they get old, and the result is nothing but death."

"Isn't there a good saying? The more difficult it is, the more we can see the essence of a person or a country. ”

"Huaguo is really a country with a human touch."

"That's true."

Everyone only stayed in the nursing home for about ten minutes, because Hengsha Island is not big, but it is not small, and these people plan to visit on foot, it will take a lot of time.

Next, the members of these missions visited bazaars, supermarkets and other places related to people's livelihood, and the prosperity of Hengsha has exceeded their imagination, although this prosperity may have been at the level of a county with a large population before the disaster, but after the disaster, this situation is extremely rare.

In the early days of a disaster, a small number of camps may have been able to maintain stability due to the adequate resources and competent managers, but as time goes on, there is a shortage of supplies and everyone is unable to support themselves, and this peaceful situation is difficult to guarantee.

The situation on Hengsha Island, which is the same as before the disaster, is immediately apparent to have lasted for a long time, which is why the members of these foreign missions are so surprised, and those who are familiar with economics have begun to mentally estimate the relevant livelihood data based on what they have seen and heard, and everyone is thinking about the same question, that is, whether this model can be replicated.

Cross the new ring road to Jinxia Road, which is the office area of government units, and there are several schools nearby.

"Here...... And the school! "Many people heard the sound of reading books inside when they passed by the entrance of the school, and although they could not understand what the children were reading, they could tell the approximate number of students from the sound of these books.

"There are currently more than a dozen primary and secondary schools on the three islands of Chongming, this one is Hengsha Primary School, and there is a middle school not far from it." Chen Du told them that the members of the mission were not very interested in government office buildings, and that most of these people were scholars and researchers, and that their eyes would be more focused.

There are more than a dozen schools, and the size of the students must be no less than a thousand. In the countries that survived the disaster, basic education has been largely cut off, and this will continue for no one for how long. Many shelters are very simple in structure, in addition to defense and security, it is to ensure food, drink, and Lazar, as for learning and education, who can take care of this in a disaster.

"Can we go inside the school?" Some people are itching in their hearts and are very eager to collect data on the livelihood of Hengsha Island.

"I'm afraid not, because it will affect the normal teaching order of the school." Chen Du said, "Do you want to visit the health service center and the farm? ”

"Okay," the host said, others naturally have no reason to object, and these units that Chen Du said are closely related to people's livelihood, and for these members of the mission who are interested in studying the development model of Hengsha Island, these places are very valuable to visit and study.

The next place to visit is far away, and Chen Du arranged for everyone to board the bus to save physical strength. There are several kilometers of distance from Jianghai Pier to here, and visitors do need to sit in the car and take a break.

"Chen, what is that place?" When the car came to the southeast corner of Hengsha Island, there was a square on the side of the road that attracted the attention of many people in the car.

"Memorial Square, inside is the Martyrs' Cemetery." Chen Du introduced to them, "The people buried inside are all heroes who sacrificed for the people and the motherland. ”

"In that case, let's pay respects at the graves of the heroes," the car stopped at the gate of the square, and some members of the mission came to the car, and Chen Du led them inside.

Although there are few people in the cemetery, some of the tombstones are placed with flowers in front of them, and in front of one of the tombstones engraved with the name Wei Qiming, a handful of white chrysanthemums looks as if they have just been plucked.

The people who came to sweep the graves should have left for a short time, and the area around the tombstones should have been cleaned very clean.

Perhaps infected by the quiet atmosphere in the cemetery, the people who entered the park looked very solemn, and everyone bowed to the tombstones of those heroes in the same way as Chen Du, and then listened to Chen Du tell some of the deeds he knew about the heroes.

"It's heroes like that are needed in times of national crisis, not those in movies and comics. Superheroes can only bring us joy, and in fact they can't do much for us when disaster strikes. ”

"That's right." Duke's words resonated with those around him.

"I think I should say sorry to the country," Duke continued, "I used to know too little about the real situation in this country, and most of what I saw on the Internet were negative comments about it, authoritarian, uncivilized, indulgent, and so on, until I came to this land in person, and I realized how ignorant I was." ”

"The internet deceived me." Duke sighed, his expression a little heavy.

The people around him didn't know what to say at the moment, because Duke's words were a true portrayal of them. As scientific researchers, these people's vision is much higher than that of ordinary people, but they are still inevitably affected by the Internet and one-sided information.

In the past few decades, China has gone from being poor and white to being at the top of the world, and everyone has seen this astonishing and even frightening speed of development, but the false information has blinded most people's eyes, making them think that Huaguo is still the era when men wore torn coats and long braids more than a hundred years ago.

Out of the cemetery, the convoy came to Dongbin Road, and the next destination for everyone was Hengsha Farm.

The director of Hengsha Farm is Gong Daxin, a rugged-looking man who greeted him and warmly received the visiting team. Gong Daxin's farm had been tepid, until the first store was opened in Dongdong, the situation changed, stationed in the past Cao Shengli and other employees to open the situation, the farm's sales suddenly expanded several times, in the local people have acquaintances to take care of, the business is getting bigger and bigger, and the income is also rising.

The income in the farm has increased exponentially, and the welfare of the workers has also improved a lot, and the current Hengsha farm is not the unit that the father does not love the mother, but one of the few fragrant bun units in the production industry on Hengsha Island.

The career of the farm is very smooth, Gong Daxin is also proud, if it weren't for the fact that a female employee named Yang Ju had an accident when she gave birth to a child in the store in Xuandong a few days ago, everything in the farm during this time can be described as perfect.
