official career

On the third day after the inspection, the county government held a county-wide government work meeting. This meeting was of a very high standard. The top leaders of the governments of all towns and villages in the county, as well as the top leaders of all government bureaus and departments, all attended the meeting. All deputy county heads in the county also attended the meeting. Attend the meeting.

Qin Feng sat in the center of the podium with a microphone in front of him. Qin Feng looked at the dozens of important officials from Yi'an County, large and small, sitting under the stage with a very calm expression.

"Comrades, before today's county government work meeting begins, I would like to show you some photos and then ask you some questions." Qin Feng said in a unique way.

After Qin Feng finished speaking, a photo appeared on the big screen behind him. There was a big tree in the photo. Twenty or thirty children gathered under the big tree to play together. Each of them had a sallow complexion and their clothes were dirty and shabby. Many children were rolling around in the mud.

"The place in the photo is Guoshan Village, Yongle Town. This is what I saw when I went to inspect this village, and I asked the staff to take this photo."

"What do you see from this photo? Guoshan Village is a small village, with less than 700 people in the whole village. However, there are currently only 11 young people between the ages of 20 and 10 left in the village, and the rest Almost all of them are children and the elderly. The children you see in the photos are all left-behind children, and the people who take care of them are the elderly at home. Even so, the elderly have to do farm work during the day, and there are almost no people. Take care of them, and the children gathered and played under the big tree in the center of the village."

"Ask yourself, would you accept it if your children were like this? Do you feel uncomfortable? Can such children have a good education and good care? Why is this? Because we are too poor, with less land and more people in the village. We only rely on half an acre of land per capita. Can you support a family? And there are no job opportunities in the town or county. To survive, young people can only go out to work. Even so, living conditions are still difficult."

"Looking at the second photo now, it's still Guoshan Village. The muddy mountain road less than one meter wide that everyone sees is the only way in and out of Guoshan Village. Children use this road to go to and from school every day. Old people carry it on their backs. This is also the way to go to town to sell vegetables with a basket on your back. No matter whether you are an old person or a child, everyone has a stick in hand. Why? You can't walk this way without the support of a stick."

"Now look at the third and west photos, they are still in Guoshan Village. This is the appearance and furnishings of a family's house in Guoshan Village. It is a one-story tile-roofed house with two old people and three children in the west room. My parents work abroad and come back every year during the Chinese New Year.”

"Because the roof of the house is leaking, a seventy-year-old man is climbing on the roof to replace the leaking tiles. However, his legs and feet are not convenient. He has severe rheumatism. He has no money to treat it and is reluctant to go to the hospital for treatment. He I went to the mountains to find herbal medicine and ate it. I have been taking it for two years, but it has no effect."

"In the house, the aunt is lighting a fire to cook for the three grandchildren. Today she made three dishes and one soup, braised potato slices, stir-fried lettuce and a wild vegetable that I can't name. The soup is cabbage soup, which can only be eaten during the New Year and holidays. The first reason for eating meat is because I have no money, and the second reason is that my legs and feet are inconvenient and I can’t walk on this muddy mountain road, so I can’t go to the town market to buy meat.”

"I have dozens of photos here. They were all taken during my unannounced visits to various towns and villages. I won't explain them one by one. You can take a look for yourselves." Qin Feng stood up and pointed at the big picture. The photo on the screen introduces everyone.

After the introduction, Qin Feng sat down in his seat again.

"Guoshan Village is not an exception, and it is by no means the poorest village. One-third of our Yi'an County is like Guoshan Village. Everyone, I want to ask you what you think after seeing these photos. How does it feel?"

"Xiquan is a well-known poverty-stricken area in the country, and our Yi'an is also the county with the largest population in Xiquan and the county with the lowest per capita income. It can be said that our Yi'an is a poor county in a poor city and is the poorest place in the country."

“I don’t want to talk about how low our GDP is or how low our per capita income is on paper. Today I specially let you look at these photos that I saw and took at the grassroots level, so that everyone can experience it for the first time. Let’s take a look at how poor we are and what kind of life our people are living.”

"As ordinary people, how do we feel when we see these photos? And as their parents, how do we feel when we see these photos? I just want to ask everyone, please ask yourself, how do they live like this? Do we people have responsibilities? Are we leaders competent? Are we worthy of our responsibilities and our own conscience?" Qin Feng asked in a stern tone, almost knocking on the table.

"So, I want to ask you two questions here. The first question, should our people continue to live like this? Should our Yi'an County continue to be poor? The second question, what should we do? Let them stop living like this?" Qin Feng started to talk about this.
