Schenkov's connection with Sweet Orange ends with an extremely heart-wrenching remark.

The high-ranking director of the State Administration of Public Security, the humble border child, the cross-class dialogue between the two not only refreshed the live broadcast data record of "Dialogue Director", but also exceeded 100 million real-time viewers on the whole network.

And after the live broadcast ended, the show caused a big craze on the Internet.

In Crescent City, the word "border" is familiar to the residents of the inner city, and anyone who comes by on the road can talk to you.

But if you want to say how many inner city residents really know the borderlands, I'm afraid there are really few people.

After all, no normal inner city resident will climb over the rusty wall and go to the border for field investigations, and their knowledge of the border also comes from the media, reading news reports, and swiping marketing account articles.

The concept that the media has always conveyed to the public is that poor people must have something to hate, and people in the border areas are miserable because they don't work hard, people are poor and short-minded, and they are lowly in their bones.

But after the broadcast of this episode of "Dialogue with the Director", the residents of the inner city suddenly discovered that this was not the case.

At least not in Sweet Orange.

What does this have to do with not working hard?

A man who has to dig through garbage cans every day to survive.

A man who is about to be teased and booby-trapped by the authorities for no reason.

A man who is only ten years old and numb to the point that he feels that he has no future.

How hard do you want her to work?

Sweet Orange's experience not only touched the residents of the inner city, but also resonated with countless people in the frontier.

More and more border people are telling their experiences on the Internet, some of them are similar to Xiao Tiancheng, and some are even worse than her.

In the past, no one would listen to these words, because everyone had a preconceived idea that the frontier people were deliberately selling miserably.

And more importantly, in the fast-paced Internet era, everyone is more willing to read fast food information, and no one will pay attention to those words of blood, and the true feelings are often only drowned in the Internet frenzy.

But at this time, with the popularity of the "Dialogue with the Director" program, there is such a vivid example as Little Orange, and everyone's eyes are focused.

More and more people are calming down, going beyond those media and marketing accounts, and directly listening to the various encounters told by people in the frontiers.

There is no innate discrimination in this world, and there is no unwarranted hatred.

When the prejudices guided by the mainstream media are pierced, people in the same city, separated by a wall, regain empathy.

Countless people have begun to reflect on whether the media's malicious guidance over the years and the authorities' extreme policies on the border are reasonable.

Others cite history as a reminder of the once glorious golden age and question why such shared prosperity cannot be sustained.

A wave of ideas, originating from a database error in a live broadcast, was unintentionally pushed by a little girl.

Shortly after the end of the "Dialogue with the Director" program, the General Security Bureau held a press conference, at which the head of the bureau, Schenkov, spoke about his recent thoughts.

"A few days ago, I think everyone has either watched it with their own eyes or heard of it. What happened to Sweet Orange makes us sad, and it also makes us reflect on whether all this is reasonable. ”

"Now I can tell you very clearly that this is unreasonable. Each of us was once a child, and a child represents the future of the world. ”

"If a child can be wantonly trampled on, humiliated, and say things like 'I have no future,' it is not only a shame for the authorities, but also a sorrow for the entire human race."

"What happened to Sweet Orange, I believe it is by no means an exception, that kind of tragedy is the epitome of the entire borderland, or the microcosm of the vast number of borderland people in this city."

"In the past, in many people's minds, those borderlanders who lived in the inner city seemed to deserve to be bullied and humiliated, just like the unknown Rusty Wall Defense Force soldier did to Sweet Orange."

"I want to say it's time for this absurdity to come to an end, at least in the Sheriff's Bureau, in the law enforcement agencies that symbolize order in the city."

"From today onwards, the Public Security Bureau will launch a long-term and continuous disciplinary rectification and crack down on all violations of the rules and regulations of its subordinate organs."

"The determination of the Public Security Bureau to fight crime will not be weakened in the slightest, but anyone who commits illegal acts in the name of law enforcement will be punished with the most severe punishment!"

Schenkov has always been a resolute and serious person.

Immediately after the press conference, he started a discussion on discipline rectification.

As head of the General Directorate, Schenkov was well aware of the internal situation in the Security Service.

It is impossible to trace the bad deeds of the past.

The blackness within the Public Security Bureau is a problem left over from history.

Eating and taking cards, violent law enforcement, dereliction of duty, indiscriminate shooting and other behaviors are everywhere, except for a few strange people whose self-moral standards are so high that they are unreasonable, the rest are not clean.

If this situation is thoroughly investigated, it will not be possible to investigate it at all unless all the people of the Public Security Bureau are arrested, but this is unrealistic.

To do this, Schenkov launched a flexible scheme, drawing a line.

What happened before the discipline rectification is not to blame for the past.

After the discipline rectification, if there is still a violation of discipline, it will be severely punished.

It's a compromise out of necessity, but it's also a firm determination.

At first, the public security bureau thought that this was just casual talk, after all, there had been similar so-called "discipline rectification" more than once in previous years, and each time it was thunder and rain, fooling those ordinary people, who believed and who was stupid.

During the reign of the former director Kitahara Hayabusa, in order to deal with the public opinion caused by the deterioration of the discipline of the sheriff, he introduced a policy of "civil supervision", allowing the public to take pictures and record the law enforcement process of the sheriff, and if there was a violation, they could go to the judiciary to prosecute.

As a result, all those who really dared to shoot were all located and recorded, fired from the company at work, children were maliciously harassed at school, and every once in a while, little hooligans came from nowhere to "take care", and their futures were ruined and their lives were scrapped.

The inside of the security bureau thought that Schenkov was doing the same, but they soon realized that this time it was not the same as usual.

Not only did Szchenkov issue a new set of disciplinary regulations to restrain the magistrate's overly liberal law enforcement powers, but he also created a new disciplinary picket department internally.

This department is completely independent from the original establishment of the Public Security Bureau, and is completely independent in terms of powers, personnel appointments, financial support, etc., and all the people in charge are all fresh blood with a clean background and no connection with the key members of the Public Security Bureau, and they are directly responsible to the director of the General Bureau.

Any complaints against the sheriff will be independently investigated and verified by the Disciplinary Picket Department.

In just one week, the discipline picket department supervised and handled 344 cases, and 413 magistrates who still seriously violated the rules after the discipline rectification were dealt with, with demerits and dismissals, and those involved in criminal cases were directly handed over to the municipal garrison for judicial trial.

This vigorous and resolute rectification has tightened the internal security bureau into a string, but it has made countless people cry with relief.

How many years

Ever since the fall of the head of the General Bureau, whose name was not allowed, the people of Crescent City have lived in the dark.

The former director of the General Bureau, Kitahara Hayabusa, connived at his subordinates, and I don't know how many unjust, false and wrongful cases were caused.

The Public Security Bureau, which was supposed to be the law enforcement agency that guarded the order, became the existence that the people feared the most.

From Dawn 141 to Dawn 152, the people of Crescent City endured 11 years of darkness, and now they finally see the light again.

Because this disciplinary rectification bill originated from the conversation between Schenkov and Sweet Orange in "Dialogue Director", it was also given a very affectionate nickname by the people-

The Sweet Orange Act.

Under the high pressure of the bill, the chaos of law enforcement in Crescent City has been greatly restrained.

At the same time, the estrangement between the people in the border and the people in the inner city has also slowly dissolved through frank exchanges.

Although the two sides are separated by a tall rusty wall, the electronic signals fly like free birds.

More and more people in the inner city have met their border friends through the Internet, and have witnessed the truth that the authorities and media will not tell them.

They abandoned their former prejudices and began to help the people on the border around them as much as they could.

Some people have actually donated money to public welfare fund projects in the border areas.

Some people use their pen as a knife to write article after article attacking the policies of the authorities and shouting injustice for people in the border areas.

There are also some ordinary ordinary people, who have no extra money, nor have any outstanding literary skills and abilities, so they start with a nod, a smile, or a handshake to the border people, and do their best.

As for the little sweet orange that touched the heartstrings of countless people in the program "Dialogue with the Director", it also became the focus of everyone's attention later.

A well-known public welfare organization has launched a fundraising project called "Save Sweet Orange", which aims to help Sweet Orange enter the inner city life and cover all necessary living expenses and education expenses until she reaches the age of 18.

As soon as the project was released, it was spread by enthusiastic netizens, and Schenkov also reposted it with his personal social account and silently donated all of last year's year-end bonuses.

In the borderlands, in the inner city, two groups of people separated by rusty walls are still in different places, but their hearts are together, and the once absurd and ridiculous hatred has slowly turned into smoke.

Late at night, in the late winter of February, still with a biting chill, Schenkov stood in front of the windowsill and smoked a cigarette silently, looking at the lights in the distance.

At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door, and the assistant Yang Le walked in from outside the door: "Director, I have sorted out the outline of today's meeting, and I will help you put it on the table." ”

Schenkov glanced back at him: "You haven't left yet?" I thought you were already off work. ”

Yang Le said with a smile: "Director, you work overtime every day, how dare I go first." ”

Schenkov smiled slightly and said, "Come and talk." ”

Yang Le walked to the windowsill and stretched.

Schenkov handed him a cigarette and kindly lit a fire.

Yang Le was immediately flattered, and panicked to catch the cigarette and lighter: "Director, I'll come by myself."

Schenkov slapped his hand and said with a smile: "There are no outsiders, hurry up, don't grind." ”

Yang Le smiled embarrassedly and asked Schenkov to light a cigarette for him.

Schenkov took back the lighter, looked out the window and said, "Listen, what's different outside from before?" ”

Yang Le listened for a moment and asked with some confusion: "What do you mean?" ”

Schenkov had a mysterious smile on his face: "I've been standing for this hour, for a whole hour, and I haven't heard a single gunshot. ”

"Really?" Yang Le opened his mouth, feeling incredible, "Late at night is a time period when shootings are frequent, and you used to hear a sound every ten minutes. ”

"I joined the authorities at the age of 22 and have been working for 30 years now. I thought I was an experienced old fritter for a long time, but I found that there is a very simple truth, but I only understood it this year. ”

Yang Le asked tentatively, "What do you mean?" ”

Schenkov squinted, his gaze was incomparably deep: "How high the crime rate in Crescent City is determined by those in power, not by the frontier people. ”

"If everybody could live in the sun, fair and just, the city wouldn't have so many lingering evils."

Yang Le was stunned for a moment, and a complicated smile appeared on his face: "We border people are so lucky to meet a bureau chief like you. ”

"We?" Schenkov looked at him suspiciously, "What do you mean by us frontier people?" ”

Yang Le: "My hometown is from the border. ”

Schenkov was even more puzzled: "Huh? But your file clearly says that you have always been an inner city identity. ”

Yang Le explained: "That's right, my parents are natives of the border, and later immigrated to live in the inner city, because of their engineering and technical expertise, both of them changed their inner city identity, so I was born with an inner city identity." ”

Schenkov nodded thoughtfully: "If you have technical expertise, you can change your identity, this is a golden age, right?" ”

"Yes, Dawn 131, the first year of the Golden Age, and the year I was born." Yang Le's eyes flashed with an emotion called memory, and he said faintly, "From birth to the age of 10, my entire childhood was spent in the golden age. ”

Schenkov exclaimed: "You are such a lucky boy. ”

Yang Le looked a little melancholy, and sighed softly: "Yes and no." ”

"I was lucky enough to go through the best times at the most naïve age."

"But I'm also unfortunate that I've just been sensible enough to witness the shattering of this era."

"I remember when I was a child, my parents often told others generously that they used to be border people, and they always greeted each other with a smile."

"But after the golden age ended, that smile slowly faded away."

"Once, when I told a new classmate that my hometown was from the border, he laughed at me for being a border rat and always spoke ill of me from the teacher."

"Another time, my parents were beaten on the road, just because they mentioned that they used to be border people, they scolded them, told them to go back to the border, and then they even started to move."

Speaking of this, Yang Le looked up at the night sky sadly: "I didn't understand why this city has changed so much in just a few years, and what has made it change in this way. ”

"I grew up with such questions, and the reason why I joined the Public Security Bureau after graduation was also to find answers here."

Schenkov asked softly: "And now, have you found the answer?" ”

Yang Le looked into Schenkov's eyes and said deeply: "Not yet, but looking at the changes during this time, I can feel that I am about to see the answer." (End of chapter)
