Chapter 60 SARS period

During the SARS period in the spring and summer of 2003, I spent it in the countryside.From the TV, it seems that the whole country has entered a state of war, except that the national anthem and war mobilization orders are broadcast throughout the day.But the country folks shrugged off the tension. "What about SARS? Isn't it human plague?" According to their understanding, chickens have chicken fever, pigs have swine fever, and of course humans are also immune to human plague. The virtuous father also explained otherwise, saying that when the real man came to power, there was a problem. This year, the general secretary just came to power, and there was SARS, which was right, and it proved that the real man was true—according to his theory of the relationship between heaven and man, it seems that people You have to beat the gongs and drums to celebrate.

The cadres went to the mountain pass to set up checkpoints, went to the market to confiscate wild animals, and went to the door to check the temperature of the returnees from migrant workers... They were so busy that they finally made the atmosphere a little tense.One night, firecrackers were fired from all directions.I don't know what happened, but when I inquired about it afterwards, I found out that there was a dumb woman on the other side of the mountain who suddenly spoke up, saying that this time the human plague broke out, and Lord Hades would take away 30,000 lives, so every family had to burn three sticks of incense , Fire the gun three links, otherwise the safety of humans and animals will not be guaranteed.This dumb woman is almost a second government, even a super government. Once its constitution is issued, it is passed on by word of mouth.

Several party members in the village approached the village head and told them to turn on the radio quickly, and asked everyone to buy firecrackers quickly. The village chief was a little hesitant: Is this a feudal superstition? The party members got anxious and said that not long ago you took us to study the "Three Represents" and the six "civilizations" (they didn't remember exactly how many), and our feet were swollen from learning.After learning so much, we must take practical actions, right?You have to do something practical for everyone, right?To drive away the plague and send away ghosts, to protect the environment and the people, isn't it reasonable for the party branch to be at the forefront? ...

With that said, the village chief made up his mind. The sound of firecrackers that I heard later was the result of the village chief's broadcast to mobilize the masses. This made the township government look bad.Most of the township cadres are college students and technical secondary school students, who are responsible for popularizing science and breaking superstition.Village head He immediately approached the village head angrily: "You don't listen to what the government has said. If a dumb woman farts, you will treat it as an imperial decree. Isn't it superstitious?"

"It's not surprising that there are many people who are polite. Let some firecrackers...do you get in the way?" The village chief felt that the matter was not serious. The township head became even more angry: "Firecrackers are useful! If you are lucky, you will not die if you don't set off firecrackers. If you are not lucky, setting off more firecrackers is useless. You are also a party member, no matter how much science you have, you will not die." No?" The village chief felt that this was reasonable, and with a look of shame on his face, he immediately turned on the radio to convey the latest instructions: "All households listen carefully! Jianyazi, you must listen carefully! Who said the dumb woman spoke? You want her Come and howl in front of me to see! Still, Chief He is right. To talk about science, setting off firecrackers is useless. If you have life, you won’t die if you don’t set off firecrackers. If you don’t have life, set off firecrackers again Too many firecrackers are useless. Don’t listen to the rumors of those rotten mouths..."
