The visible mudslide engulfed villages, mountains, rivers and lives in an instant, and it was just a natural disaster. However, the invisible mudslide swallows the conscience in a silent place, drows out morality, annihilates ethics, and even silently endangers the prosperity and survival of an era and a nation.

—Author's inscription

1980 Volume 1; Chen Can's death

The sting came, but the day grew longer, and the days were much warmer, and some grass and trees were green, like people taking off their heavy cotton jackets, revealing charming youth and vitality.

The sound of spring thunder awakens all things in heaven and earth. Insects and critters hibernating underground, a little impatient. At this time, Shoe Mountain Lake is just like the folk proverb says: stinging and warm flowers bloom, and all things open their eyes and play. The fragrant hundred miles are rapeseed, and the emerald green dances to see the spring wheat.

An ordinary day, the drizzle is mixed with the cold, the remnant winter of Shoe Mountain Lake, the weather is always hot and cold, such weather, whether it is good or bad, it is not good to say that it is not good, if you are not careful, it will make people catch a cold.

Just sent away another employee, Zhu Xianjin really lost a lot in his heart, they all left, back to the city, where is his city?

I didn't come from the city in the first place, so where would I have my own city! Anyway, he has nowhere to go, a family with bad ingredients, what else can he hope for! Future, fate, future, hope, for him, it seems that Shoe Mountain Lake is his siege and his fate.

Since 1976, there have been people transferred away from the Shoe Mountain Lake Textile Factory every day, on both sides of the factory gate, the willows are a little old, as if they have become a ten-mile long pavilion, the fluttering willow, like a hand that is unwilling to let go, like a fluctuating mind, like a reluctant person, as if reluctant to go away from colleagues.

Those partners who were bleeding and sweating together were really leaving, and Zhu Xianjian's heart really made people feel a little more sad in their hearts, and these willow trees also had a little more sadness about the boundless spring color. It's really like willow is not like water, and it is sent away to the end of the world.

The people who walked were elated, and finally left this place where their youth was shining, and people went to a high place, and when they could go back to the city, it was a matter of returning from the chaff to the rice lo, which was enviable!

After all, so many years of colleagues, once separated, the world is boundless, everyone to stay is uncertain, leaving people back to their hometown, is also a temptation to begin, does not mean that the road is smooth.

But one thing is certain, those who go, all have a back door, or unscrupulous means. After a long time, there is no hope for the rest, and there are many people who are unbalanced in their hearts.

In 1977, the Third Plenary Session of the 10th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China passed a resolution that personnel changes greatly, and then decided to resume the college entrance examination, which had been interrupted for ten years.

On March 18, 1978, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) said in the opening speech of the National Science Conference held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing: Science and technology are productive forces. That year, Hu Yaobang, a staunch reformist, became party secretary. Prior to that, he served as head of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, where he reversed a large number of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases since the founding of New China and resolved the rightist problem.

In December 1978, the Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee was held, which realized the great turning point since the founding of the People's Republic of China and opened a new era of reform and opening up.

The big reason can't be said, but Zhu Xianjian's heart is not the kind of ordinary life that is nostalgic for "two acres of land, a cow, and a hot kang head for his wife and children", he likes the sense of struggle and achievement where the interests of the country are above all else. Now that the environment seems to be changing day by day, he has a lot of thoughts and worries in his heart.

Now every time he leaves, he has to be sad, after all, there are more than one or two hundred people in the factory, which one is not his good friend. Every time he walks, he has to personally send him to the car, and every time he walks, he thinks of another person, a person who has never left Shoe Mountain Lake Textile.

It was an afternoon in the spring of 1978, the sky was a little stuffy, Zhu Xianjin was sitting in his office smoking, an ambulance sounded, and his heart was very confused. He habitually picked up the phone, that is, he was in charge of Ansheng production, and when he heard the sound of help, he was very sensitive, and he wanted to ask what was going on, but someone broke into his office with a bang and threw him a sentence.

"Chen Can, Chen Can, drink pesticides!"

"What?" Zhu Xianjin was stupid at that time, "Where is it?" ”

Chen Can committed suicide by drinking pesticides in her own office! When Zhu Xianjin rushed to the hospital in a blazing fire, the news he got was unchangeable, and Chen Can committed suicide successfully!

The reason for the suicide was eight words, written on the wall with the blood of her middle finger pierced: I want to go back to the city! I want to go home!

In the face of these eight big characters, Zhu Xianjian's first thought was that his ideals were discolored and his spirit collapsed.

He glanced at Chen Can again, on the white shirt, the blood seemed to be dyed into peach blossoms, like falling peach blossoms, like glamorous and remnant, like smiling, like love, like parting and returning, although silent, the peach blossoms were like a thousand catties of boulders pressing on Zhu Xianjian's heart.

The man is already dead, and it is too late to say anything. People's fighting spirit is lost, and going home has become a luxury. Advanced thought to himself, as soon as this person has no spirit, there is no hope, there is no sustenance, there is no passion, there is no fighting spirit. It seems that a problem of mental deficiency is immediately coming to the fore.

Zhu Xianjin also knows that for them, going home is to return to the big city, to say goodbye to this poor country, and to say goodbye to this poor country, which is the beginning of a happy journey.

Chen Can is just one of the most urgent actors, her parents have died early due to illness, and there are no brothers and sisters, the new era is coming, it seems to be the end of her dream, without dreams, go home, where is home? Everyone is home, and she has no back door to go to.

When I left the bustling city of Shanghai, I left my hometown, followed the footsteps of the party and waded through mountains and rivers to the shore of this shoe mountain lake, opened up wasteland, built factories, established businesses, and gave birth to children, all with a revolutionary enthusiasm and selfless mind to protect the family and defend the country, what happened now? Zhu Xianjin was also very confused, is it really the times that don't need us?

There are many people in Shanghai, Northeast China, Beijing, Shanxi, Hebei and Sichuan in the factory, and there are few locals, and there are relatively many foreign technical backbones and senior intellectuals.

Chen Can has a strong hands-on ability, and the breakfast she eats is mostly fluffy and sweet fried egg cakes made by herself, she doesn't eat the popular local fritters and steamed buns, but she has a soft spot for moldy tofu, she always says "three meals of moldy tofu, face Meisai ass". She doesn't know where the theory came from, she thinks that moldy tofu is a good thing for beauty. Because she is a beauty, it seems that eating moldy tofu is undeniable.

Her favorite color is black and white. In summer, she likes to wear black leather shoes, white socks, white dresses, and white sun hats, and in winter, she usually wears white sweaters, white pants, and black coats. In my memory, I haven't seen her go through the flowers. He wears all the goods from Shanghai, some of his colleagues have never seen them, she has them, and she almost leads the fashion trend of Shoe Mountain Lake.

Chen Can is not a young lady from a big family, but she is also "out of the hall and in the kitchen". Advocating etiquette, knowing tradition, and knowing how to coexist peacefully with colleagues, she speaks gently, behaves elegantly, dresses appropriately, often smiles, and is polite, and at first glance she is a girl raised in a big city.

Even if she has a knot in her nose that grows on her face, it looks like a beauty knot. Many male colleagues like to chat and joke with her.

There is a knot in the nose, and there is a drop in middle age. Of course, Zhu Xianjin didn't expect Chen Can's fall to be the point of no return.

She went to work in the field and was a different look, always covered in mud, as long as she rested, her ass sat on the field, there was no taste of a young lady at all, purely like a rural girl. The law of the unity of opposites is the fundamental law of the universe, which is very well embodied in Chen Can.

Chen Can loves to listen to "Daiyu Funeral Flowers" every night, and hums when he has nothing to do:

Three hundred and sixty days a year,

The wind, frost, and swords are pressed against each other.

When can it be bright and fresh,

Once wandering, it is hard to find.

Flowers are easy to see and hard to find,

The front of the stairs is sad to bury the flower man.

Alone with a flower hoe to shed tears,

Sprinkle the empty branches and see blood marks.

The cuckoo is speechless at dusk,

The hoe returned to cover the door.

Maybe that was the only way and the only time and space for her to dream back to Wu Nong's whispering.

Originally, she thought that she would be accompanied by Shoe Mountain Lake for the rest of her life, but this person was desperate and accepted her fate, anyway, everyone was the same, but now it is different, many fellow villagers are gone, and her heart is gone.

Despair is a new birth, and for all people it is more sad than death, but for some people it is reborn.

Of course, Chen Can's death, Director Hu's heart stopped for three seconds, and he didn't realize that there was something wrong with his thinking.

Suddenly, the spring breeze came overnight, the air was no longer tense, and the wind seemed to have changed.

The world pattern has really changed, the meaning of third-tier enterprises, the glory of third-tier enterprises, the sacredness of third-tier enterprises, and the pride of third-tier enterprises seem to be no longer overnight.

At this time, the way out of life has become the most important thing that employees are most concerned about. With the changes in the domestic and international situation, the strategic position of the third-tier enterprises has been yesterday's yellow flower, and the strict defense of the secret units have taken off their mysterious coats and are vying to embrace the tide of the market.

It is even possible for the world to return to the metropolis that she thinks about day and night! What a dream, what a seductive future. So Chen Can couldn't sit still anymore, and went to the factory several times to ask for release.

It is said that it is to release people, but it is not easy. There is no mobilization index, there is no receiving unit, how to release people in the factory?

didn't accept or let go, Chen Can couldn't understand it, he thought in his heart that the bastard in the factory just didn't give her a chance and gave her small shoes. In desperation, he chose suicide directly in his office!

Chen Can's death alarmed provincial and municipal leaders. The government finally loosened its policy, and although there was no document written in black and white, in principle, it allowed those who had units to accept and agree to release them. In fact, those who did not have an order also asked for leave to leave, or left by themselves, and the factory at this time was almost out of control for those who came from the city.

The factory finally agreed to release the people, and at this time, many people knew that it was difficult to go back to the big city of Shanghai, and everything they had taken root in Shoe Mountain Lake.

Where do they go to find the opportunity to return to the city, the indicator of returning to the city. How to survive when you return to your hometown. None of this can stop the dream of going home, and many people choose to flee first.

Chen Can was buried on the hill behind the factory, and Zheng Xiaohua planted a peach tree in front of her grave, hoping that the peach blossoms would bloom every year, and the beauty would still be there, as beautiful as the once bright and bright people. Zheng Xiaohua always said that this good girl was tossed to death.

Chen Can's death is like reading a page of a book, many people don't feel it after turning the page, except for a sigh, it is still a sigh.

At that time, people would never have thought that Chen Can's death was a watershed, and she died at the starting line of smuggling.

The world trend is mighty, and sometimes it will die if you go with it, after all, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it!

On such a cold and rainy day, I don't have to go to work urgently, I don't have to leave home all day. Therefore, there are few people on the road in the factory, and they are cold and quiet.

Walking in the wind and rain, Zhu Xianjin thought to himself: Every day, someone walks and the organization can't manage it. The organization decided that at this time there was no advantage, and it was also inhumane, and the heart was not on this revolutionary cause, so what good could it be to stay? No, it's harmful.

Isn't it just leaving? Since then, the unconditional release has become an unwritten routine in the Shoe Mountain Lake Textile Factory.

Of course, the confidence to do so comes from a large number of people in the surrounding area who work as temporary workers in the factory, and a large number of people who want to enter the factory as temporary workers. Over the years, 6806 has also trained a lot of skilled operators among temporary workers.

At this time, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the sky and the earth slowly became blurred. There were occasionally one or two rooster crows in the sound of the machine, which made Zhu Xianjian, who was gray in his heart, feel a little more energetic and inexplicably vigorous.

In Shoshan Lake City or even on the Shoe Mountain Lake Plain, a 6806 factory is also famous, of course, there are many such enterprises are also facing Zhu Xian's confusion, such as 806 factory is a professional fiberglass manufacturing plant. Plant 403 is a large marine diesel engine factory. Factory 288 is a military optical instrument factory, Factory 5727 is a ship general valve manufacturing factory, and Factory 6305 is a machinery factory.
