Chapter 17 Chapter 14 The Mayor's State Affairs and Family Affairs

Countdown: August 30 Person in charge: Mayor Wang Zuqian Task: 11,582 migrants who migrated abroad, not one of them will leave When the Yangtze River passes through the Three Gorges, there is a very famous tributary called the Daning River.There is a beautiful ancient town called Dachang by the Daning River.The ancient town, which was opened more than 1,700 years ago, has a glorious history. It is a pearl on the Daning River, the largest tributary of the Yangtze River in the Three Gorges area.Anyone who wants to visit the "Little Three Gorges" of the Yangtze River will not fail to visit the ancient town of Dachang.The beauty of this ancient town can be compared with the beauty of Zhouzhuang and Tongli in my hometown of Suzhou. Although Dachang is smaller than Zhouzhuang and Tongli, its scenery with mountains and rivers has a unique beauty.Especially after walking up the Daning River from the Wuxiakou of the Yangtze River to complete the majestic canyon of the "Little Three Gorges", what is presented to people is the flat Dachang Bazi (flat land), accompanied by the bottomless green Daning River. Here, I made a graceful and soothing movement of bending the waist and stretching the limbs, which makes people look like a paradise and a fairyland on earth.The spacious and flat river beach, the white sand like a crisp chest, is embedded in the embrace of mountains, the sky is extremely blue, and the ground is extremely quiet. It is impossible to imagine that there is such a warm habitat beside the turbulent and dangerous gorge of the big river.Some people compare that Sanxia is like a macho man full of adventurous spirit, and Dachang is a tender and beautiful girl born with Sanxia's macho man.The combination of majestic and beautiful constitutes the inseparable beauty of the unity of yin and yang, which is inseparable from Dachang and the Three Gorges.Before I arrived in Dachang, someone told me a famous local saying, "If you don't come to Dachang, you haven't been to the Three Gorges. When you arrive in Dachang, you don't want to go home."

It takes ten or twenty days to travel the Three Gorges Reservoir area for thousands of miles.Even if the interviews with immigrants are just a one-time visit, it will take at least a month.For a person like me who has a lot of work in the unit, it is not easy to take a trip to the Three Gorges, but I went to Dachang twice, which lasted more than ten days.It can be seen how attractive Dachang's beauty is! However, when I went to Dachang twice, I was more attracted by the immigration work here, and by a town mayor who also served as a soldier. I know that in the entire reservoir area of ​​the Three Gorges, when it comes to resettlement tasks, no cadre can compare with the responsibilities of Dachang Town Mayor Wang Zuqian.We can see from the following set of data that there are more than 35,000 people in the town, but 15,243 people have been resettled and 11,582 people have been resettled. A total of 26,825 people, more than 70% of the total population of the town; Migrants alone accounted for 50% of the migrants in Wushan County, and one-tenth of the migrants in the Three Gorges Reservoir area. Almost one out of three people in the town had to be mobilized to move to other provinces.

Such a heavy immigrant task for a township-level town falls on the shoulders of a mayor who is a veteran who is less than 40 years old! The problem is that the relocation of Dachang Town is a real relocation, that is, it has to leave this beautiful homeland far away, to other provinces, to other places, to a place where it is impossible to repeat such beauty! Immigrants from Dachang made one more sacrifice than ordinary immigrants from the Three Gorges. This sacrifice is that they must bid farewell to the beautiful scenery made in nature.I call this process a farewell to the last beauty. Therefore, the immigrants in Dachang have to walk out of their beautiful dam, and their psychological and visual pain and reluctance are more than those of immigrants from other regions.

No matter how painful or difficult it is to part with, I have to leave.The "countdown" in the whole reservoir area is unified. The county was well prepared for the difficulty of immigrating to Dachang Town from the very beginning, so the county party committee made a decision at the end of 2000: Wang Zuqian, the former party secretary of Daxi Township, was transferred to Dachang as the town mayor. There is Secretary Liu of Dachang's new town party committee.The first time I met Mayor Wang Zuqian, I knew he was a man of action who only knew how to work in silence but didn't know how to promote himself.In army terms, this is a "tank" that only knows how to charge forward when fighting.

Commanders on the battlefield like to use tanks most.The intention of the county leaders to put Wang Zuqian in Dachang Town is self-evident.More importantly, before this, Wang Zuqian led immigration in three townships, and he was a veritable "veteran immigration cadre". The mayor, in China's administrative management system, is the lowest level official who eats the country's grain.In immigrant areas, every cadre has a responsibility, from the governor and mayor to the district and county heads, but it is the town mayor who takes responsibility on the front line.Although the town mayor can assign tasks to the various immigration cadres, every immigrant and the government still have to meet face-to-face with the town mayor to complete the task.

The mayor represents the country, the national emblem, and the image of the party on immigration issues.Wang Zuqian deeply remembered this responsibility.One can imagine his difficulty.What he faces every day is immigrants. For their own interests, even a small tree or a chick that dies accidentally, they will use it as an argument.Wang Zu can't do it, behind him is one iron policy after another by the country and the government, iron rules.It is impossible for him to have the slightest retreat, he can only face it, and only try to solve it, using his patience and understanding of the policy.But his patience and understanding of policy are often not understood by immigrants.Those who are aggrieved will remain aggrieved as usual, and those who want to reach out will never back down.The immigrant mayor is in such a situation, do you want to do it or not?Quit doing it, worthy of the trust and training of the party?If not, who will solve the immigration problem?

The mayor must go on, and he must do it well. Wang Zuqian, who is strong and strong, appears very shy in front of strangers.He said that he was a little embarrassed to see me, a veteran who had been in the army for several years longer than him.In his own words, he can only be regarded as a "recruit egg" in front of me.Perhaps it was for this reason that he never shed a single tear in front of me, a veteran.In fact, when I understand the difficult process of immigration work he has experienced, he does not have to take into account the traditions of the army (new recruits in the army are not allowed to show their qualifications in front of veterans), so why not let the tears of heroes flow freely?

It is said that being an immigrant is the hardest job. It is so hard that you can think of the Battle of Shangganling. It is so hard that you can think of the 25,000-mile Long March of the Red Army. !Bitter enough to use a back basket to hold full tears... Three Gorges interviewed along the way, and I heard countless immigration cadres, even senior cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels, telling me that they had said such words more than once when they were doing immigration work.I fully believe in the fact that we are now in a time of peace and working with our own people.As an immigration cadre said: "If it is not for the sake of the immigrants, or for the sake of the party and the government, why should I suffer so much grievance and complaints for nothing! Whenever I am misunderstood by the immigrants, I thought to myself, if I were on the battlefield, I would rather charge forward and die. But it’s not good for immigrants. When they misunderstand us, we have to lose our smile; when they get angry, we have to lose our smile; they don’t understand We have to pay for our smiles when we are here. This smile is too difficult. We are also human beings with flesh and blood and emotions! We also have our own emotions, but when we do immigration work, we can only put ourselves The emotions of the party and the government are deeply pressed in the bottom of my heart, and the sun, rain, dew and warmth of the party and the government are passed on to the vast number of immigrants with our smiles and patience. The devotion of the immigrants and the emotion of leaving their homeland is really not easy, so we have nothing to say."

Wang Zuqian didn't have anything to say, because he was the mayor.One end is carrying the country, and the other end is carrying the immigrant people.It is precisely because of the special status of the mayor, where the living environment is particularly good like Dachang, and the task of emigration is particularly heavy, that the mayor Wang Zuqian has an experience that is more unimaginable than others. In Dachang, in Wushan County, and in Chongqing City, the immigration cadres all knew that Mayor Wang Zuqian had a "big catastrophe" of life and death. The incident happened in the process of escorting a group of immigrants to Susong, Anhui in late August 2001——

Originally, there was no business with the mayor Wang Zuqian, because he had just returned from Guangdong to escort the immigrants.On that day, the county immigration headquarters called and said that the deputy county magistrate Ma, who was then the commander in chief of escorting the immigrants to Anhui, was not familiar with the docking work.This kind of thing often happens in the process of immigration. Those who can do more work, and those who work hard don't say anything. This is the common noble dedication of the vast number of immigration cadres.Needless to say, Wang Zuqian, the county magistrate is also helping the town to strengthen leadership. When encountering difficulties, the mayor should take the lead.

The journey was fairly peaceful.But when Mayor Wang and the others arrived at the resettlement site, something went wrong. On the afternoon of the 29th, the immigrants from the original Hekou Village who arrived earlier found the residence of the escorting immigration cadres.After someone reached out to Mayor Wang for a cigarette, he said in a strange tone: "Your Mayor Wang is finally here!" Wang Zuqian didn't care about it at the time. During the years of immigration work, there were more serious quarrels almost every day, so he didn't care. "Mayor, there seems to be something wrong here!" The police from the police station who came together quietly reported to Mayor Wang at night. "What's unusual?" Wang Zuqian asked. "I just went out and saw that there were several immigrants guarding the door where we lived, as if they were going to spy on us!" "Then we slept more soundly!" Wang Zuqian couldn't help laughing. "Mayor, I'm talking about serious business. It seems that they want to trouble you!" The policeman was anxious. Wang Zuqian still smiled lightly: "They really want to find me, and it's useless for me to hide. Who made me the mayor of the town! Although theoretically speaking, I'm no longer in charge of sending them here, but immigration As a newcomer, you will feel that some problems have not been perfectly solved, and there may be a lot of grievances. We are not familiar with the place, so we want to send grievances to us! Can you hide? Go to sleep and face tomorrow's test!" The comrades of the policemen seemed to have something to say, which showed that Mayor Wang was calm and calm, so he couldn't say anything more.In fact, Wang Zuqian was not at peace in his heart. He already had a premonition that a life-and-death test was coming, but he knew that anyone could avoid this "storm", but he, the mayor, must not. wait. The storm finally came, and it came more violently than expected. Early on the morning of the 30th, before Wang Zuqian and the escort cadres got up, their door was smashed deafeningly. "Get up, I want to talk to you!" Someone said rudely outside the door.Then there was an even louder knock on the door. The moment Wang Zuqian opened the door, people outside rushed towards him like a flood.Thirty or forty people surrounded him, and dozens of hands poked at the tip of his nose and cheek in turn... From that moment on, he lost his personal freedom. In the afternoon, he was carried to the conference room to talk to the immigrants. There are three main questions raised by the public: We heard that the resettlement compensation fee is more than 40,000 yuan per person, not the 30,000 yuan per person we got! The state gave each local immigrant 10,000 yuan for production and resettlement. I heard that they only spent more than 8,000 yuan. You should help us get the rest of the money back! The house is so well built that we don't need to be so good.You cadres must have benefited from it. Give us the money for building the house, and we will rebuild it ourselves! When Wang Zugan heard it, he knew that the immigrants came to him today not to solve the problem, but to find fault.The first question is obviously someone who heard false words from nowhere.The second and third questions are about the receiving area. Besides, they also have good intentions to build the immigrants' houses more spacious and use better materials. What's wrong with that! "It's not good, it's not good! Isn't your surname Wang the mayor of the town? Didn't you say that we will always be your Dachang people when you sent the Three Gorges out? Well, we will find you now, you are the one who signed the agreement with us, Don’t you represent the government and the country, then give us back the money we paid for the house!” "Yes, refund the money!" "Refund! We want cash!" "Not one point less!" "Credit now!" The conversation has devolved into a deliberate heuristic and siege. Seeing that the situation was not good, the police immediately took measures to divide Mayor Wang and the masses into left and right sides, and draw a line in the middle. The conversation that followed continued until dinner.A few hours passed, Mayor Wang was unable to resolve the demands made by the immigrants, and reasoning was impossible. The immigrants probably also saw that it was impossible to get what they wanted from Wang Zuqian's mouth and pocket. The time after dinner and the time of the night were the time when both the immigrant and Mayor Wang were planning countermeasures, so nothing happened for the time being.It's just that more than 20 county and town cadres from Wushan who escorted the immigrants, including the police, were restricted by the "action" immigrants when they entered and left the guest house. On the morning of the 31st, an emergency countermeasure meeting hosted by county leaders was held in the conference room on the second floor of the guest house.Deputy county magistrate Ma had just spoken a few words, when suddenly there was a lot of noise from downstairs and upstairs, and shouts of "bring Wang Zuqian out" and "beat Wang Zuqian to death" came from time to time. "Zu Gan, it's coming for you again! Quickly hide!" Deputy County Magistrate Ma and other cadres immediately raised their hearts to their throats. When Wang Zuqian was hesitating, several cadres casually pushed him into a tea room next to the meeting room. "Don't hesitate any longer, Mayor Wang. They are on fire, and if they find you, something will happen!" Before the colleagues could speak, the door of the meeting room was kicked open by eight burly men. "Where is Wang Zu doing?" They asked loudly. Wang Zuqian in the tea room knew that the situation was extremely critical and he had to dodge for a while.But how can there be a place to hide in the small pantry?Except for a few straw mats, there is a pile of scattered soap, towels and other things.There was no longer any hesitation, and Wang Zuqian picked up a straw mat casually, and made a 360-degree circle to wrap himself in it.Deputy county magistrate Ma said that he quickly picked up a towel and threw it on the top of the straw mat, then held a water glass, pretending to have just poured water from the tea room. "Where did the man surnamed Wang hide?" The people who came in rushed, pushed aside the cadres, and searched inside and outside while shouting. "What is Wang Zu doing?" "Didn't you see that he wasn't here!" Someone in the conference room replied. "Hmph, forgive him for not being so good. A monk can't run away from the temple! Search other rooms!" The group of angry people began to search various rooms in the guest house. "Zu Gan, hurry up, go upstairs!" At this time, Deputy County Magistrate Ma and another immigration cadre called Wang Zugan out of the tea room, and then pushed him into the corridor at the end of the corridor leading to the top of the building by surprise. In a wellhead-like skylight, the ladder frame was removed immediately. Wang Zu took a look: Although the place is only as big as a chimney, it is not enough for the sky and does not build on the ground. If there is no ladder, no one can climb it. It is an absolutely safe hiding place.A wave of gratitude to deputy county magistrate Ma and other comrades welled up in his heart. There was still a lot of noise down below, and the sound of "ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping-pong" could be heard banging on the door and throwing things down.Later, Wang Zuqian learned that the group of irrational immigrants smashed down several doors of the guest house because they couldn't find him, and even beat the deputy county magistrate Ma and the deputy director of the county people's congress. Rained fists. Instigated by some people with ulterior motives, the immigrants went crazy.There are as many as a thousand people besieging Mayor Wang and the others, and the situation is extremely critical. Emergency calls came from Anhui to Wushan's hometown in the Three Gorges.County Party Secretary Wang Aizu used a trembling voice to talk to Wang Zuqian who was trapped on the roof of the building: "Mayor Wang, you have been wronged! Please remember: at this time, we as cadres must be calm and calm. At the same time, we must protect ourselves... We are waiting for you and your comrades to come back safely. !" At this moment, Wang Zuqian could hear the voice of the leader of his hometown thousands of miles away. Wang Zuqian had mixed feelings. He really wanted to cry, but he could not make a sound. The task of "returning to the Three Gorges safely". "Don't worry, secretary, I, Wang Zuqian, assure you that even if the masses beat me to death, I will not fight back." When Wang Zuqian said this, tears welled up in his eyes. "Alright, Mayor Wang, we will try to calm down this incident. You and your comrades must trust the organization and pay attention to personal safety!" Secretary Wang urged repeatedly. However, at this moment, the downstairs has been completely blocked by angry crowds.Deputy county magistrate Ma and other cadres can only discuss the countermeasures of this emergency when people are not prepared, and protecting Wang Zuqian's safety has become the most urgent matter in the whole incident.Four or five hours passed, and Wang Zuqian, who hadn't had a drop of water, was still stuck on the hot concrete roof and was tormented by the scorching summer sun. "This is not a way, it will kill people!" Deputy County Magistrate Ma was in a hurry. "But upstairs and downstairs are full of people, it's not safe to move anywhere!" The comrades were even more anxious. "No matter what, we must move Mayor Wang down from the roof!" Deputy County Mayor Ma made up his mind to do so. "Okay, let's try to distract the guards on the corridor, and implement the transfer plan as quickly as possible!" "Just do it!" Deputy county magistrate Ma gave an order, and the immigration officials split up.Wang Zuqian was followed from the patio and quickly transferred to a room.This is the place where a local construction team leader lives on the third floor. It was a rest day, and he didn't go out, so he lay on the bed inside.After Deputy Magistrate Ma explained the situation, he readily agreed to help Wang Zuqian hide in his room.But the room was small and empty.There was nowhere to hide but a bed. "I think Simmons can hide people under the mattress!" Wang Zuqian tactfully opened the mattress and saw that it was empty inside, about 15 centimeters high. "I'm thin, and I can lie down!" Strictly tight, no seams are exposed. "It has to be like this." Deputy county magistrate Ma and others thanked the head of the construction team sitting on the bed, and hurried out of the room. It was around 7:00 pm on the 31st. The angry crowd couldn't find Wang Zuqian and didn't give up, they still searched everywhere inside and outside the guest house.Even in the room of the head of the construction team, they have entered seven or eight times, and special personnel have been arranged to monitor the door. That night was truly unforgettable for Wang Zuqian.At a height of fourteen or fifteen centimeters, it is impossible to turn over.In order to keep in touch with the outside world, he put his mobile phone on vibrate, put it against his ear, and said a few words like an ant when he needed to make contact.This is the only way to contact him outside. At this moment, the Wushan County Party Committee and the county government, far away in the hinterland of the Three Gorges, were extremely concerned about the safety of Wang Zugan and his party's immigrant cadres. The county Party Committee held an emergency meeting overnight and immediately reported to the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee.The leaders of Chongqing City attached great importance to it, and immediately got in touch with the leaders of Anhui Province and the Provincial Public Security Department and other departments. "The safety of the immigration cadres must be guaranteed!" A rescue plan was quickly made, and the leaders of the two places personally directed it. At around 2:30 a.m. on September 1, Wang Zuqian heard a message quietly sent to him by deputy county magistrate Ma: The rescue operation will start soon, please be prepared. Less than half an hour later, a siren sounded outside the guest house.At this time, the local public security department took action, and a team of policemen drove into the guest house under the pretext of checking public security.Well-trained police officers rushed into the room where Wang Zuqian was hiding, and quickly dragged him, who was paralyzed on the ground, to the downstairs. on his body and head.As soon as he got into the police car, before the besieging crowd could react, the siren sounded, and the car quickly drove out of the gate of the guest house... Wang Zuqian, who was trapped for 44 hours, took off his police cap, put his head out of the car window, and took a deep breath.At this time, the sun was rising in the east, and Wang Zuqian couldn't help but shed two lines of tears like a floodgate... After returning to Dachang after experiencing that "catastrophe", colleagues dared not ask Wang Zuqian what happened in Anhui for many days.As usual, he didn't say anything, but he was busy with the relocation of the next batch of immigrants from morning till night. After a long time, someone asked him cautiously why he didn't even listen to his complaints when he was wronged so much?Wang Zu smiled dryly and said who made me the mayor of Dachang Town!What can I say?Blame immigrants?But if the immigrants have grievances, if they don’t send them to us, who can they send them to!This is Wang Zuqian's mind! At this moment, what are the immigrants in Anhui thinking?They are still looking for Wang Zuqian, but this time they are not going to chase Wang Zugan, but to express their deep apologies to their "parents". The lingering pain of the "catastrophe" is still bleeding in my heart, and the work of a new batch of immigrants in Dachang Town has been fully launched.That day, after he was knocked on the door at 4 o'clock in the morning, he received more than 30 (groups of) immigrants one after another, and the office was not quiet until 11 o'clock in the middle of the night. Want to rest at 11 o'clock?This is impossible.The secretary of the town party committee came and said that an emergency meeting was to be held to study the mobilization work of several difficult immigrant villages in the next step. Meetings in the middle of the night are common among grassroots cadres in immigrant areas, let alone Dachang Town. got used to it. The record-breaking reception that day, coupled with the fatigue of the meeting, when the secretary announced the end of the meeting, he left the secretary to discuss some matters while walking to the dormitory with him.As he was walking, the secretary suddenly felt that Wang Zuqian behind him had disappeared. "Zu Gan? Zu Gan—" The secretary searched around with a flashlight, and found Mayor Wang lying unconscious on a flower bed. "What's the matter? Zugan, what's the matter with you? Ah? Talk!" The secretary was terrified, helped up his old partner with blood on his face, and shouted loudly, "Come on! Something happened to the mayor!" The cadres who lived in the town office were all awakened.Everyone hurriedly sent the mayor to the hospital, and the doctor diagnosed shock caused by fatigue.That flower bed caused Wang Zuqian to sew seven large stitches, and left a permanent scar between the nose and lips. "No, I have to go back to the town government, where the immigrants are waiting for me!" Early the next morning, Wang Zuqian woke up and yelled at the doctor.There was a needle hanging in his hand, and the doctor wouldn't let him move around, but he insisted on going back to the office. "Your body has not recovered at all, and you are responsible for the delay?" the doctor asked him. "The immigrants can't leave by the specified time. Is it you or the mayor who is responsible?" He asked the doctor in turn, leaving him speechless.Then he said with a smile: "Please doctor, I will still get the needle, but I can move it to my office, so that I can deal with the immigrants while I am being treated. Is this okay for the head office?" "What else can I do? Sigh, it's too difficult to be the mayor of an immigrant town!" The doctor sighed and said with emotion. In 2001, he was doing resettlement mobilization work in Hekou Village. The village director, Mr. Lu, performed well at first, and took the lead in visiting and selecting sites for relocation.This hurdle is very important in the whole immigration work. Usually, if the immigrants are happy in the future moving place, the next step is relatively easy to come back and handle the formal relocation.However, when Lu from Hekou Village came back from Anhui, not only did he not publicize the situation of the place where he moved to the village, but he slipped away without even a trace of himself.Wang Zuqian and the officials in the town were very anxious: the village director gave up his work and did not talk about it, and he did not introduce and explain the situation of the relocated area to the masses at a critical moment. What do the villagers think?Still need to ask?Surely the place we are going to is not good!Why don't even the village director hide and don't want to leave!It is reasonable for the masses to say so. Mayor Wang sent people everywhere to look for Lu. Some said he was hiding at a relative's house, and some said he had gone to work in Guangdong, but he couldn't see anyone.Therefore, the resettlement work in Hekou Village cannot continue.This made Wang Zu so anxious that he didn't know what to do.He had to come to Hekou Village in person, trying to find a more difficult immigrant home to live in.But even the door of the house was locked, and no one could be seen day or night. "Where have they all gone?" Mayor Wang asked the villagers, who sneered at him, "You'll know when you find the village director!" That is, if the village director does not take the lead in emigrating, can he mobilize other people? Wang Zuqian tried to find relatives and friends of the village director again and again, and finally learned that Lu had arrived in Guangdong.On the phone, Mayor Wang made a heart-to-heart confession, which moved Lu—— "Old Lu, I'm talking to you now, not for orders, nor for cadres to cadres. You just treat me as nothing, an ordinary Three Gorges citizen, and you are not a village director, just like me. An ordinary Three Gorges citizen. Your brother told me that the country is going to engage in such a big project as the Three Gorges, which attracts the attention of the world. Sooner or later, the reservoir will be built, and the water will rise when the reservoir is built, and some places will be submerged. Immigrants appeared there. , You said that the country has to give these flooded people a new place to live! We have many flooded places, and many people leave. To be honest: if you leave early, you will feel at ease, and your home will be settled sooner. The family is good for the children! You said that before such a big event, how could the country just take care of one or two people and not let them go! So Lao Lu, you have to think about it and think about it in a big way. Your whole family has confirmed their immigration status according to the regulations, so you have to move sooner or later! It’s not a good idea for you to leave now and hang out all the time. You can’t live without a place to live for the rest of your life? Maybe you can grow up outside by yourself. You can stay for a long time, but if you don’t think about your family, what will happen to the children in the future? What will you do when you are old? Calm down and think about it, is this right?” There was no sound from the other end of the phone for a long time. "Hey, old Lu, did you hear that? Are you by the phone?" "Mayor, I'm listening!" "Okay, just listen. I..." "Mayor, don't say anything. I'm going back tomorrow. I've been out for more than a month, and I can't live my life, you know? Huh..." "Old Lu, don't worry, we will give you solutions immediately if you have any difficulties!" Lu Mou returned to the village soon, and the mayor Wang personally paid for him to clean up the dust.The resettlement work in Hekou Village started to catch up. One wave just leveled off, and another wave rose again. Once Wang Zuqian was dealing with something in the office when he suddenly heard a commotion outside.As soon as he was about to go out to see what was going on, the door was blocked by crowds rushing in, and all angry faces rushed towards him. "You are the mayor, so you have to keep a bowl of water level!" "That's right, today we are here to let you level this bowl of water. If you don't level it, then we will smash your skull!" Hey, the visitor is not good!Wang Zuqian had already prepared in his heart that when immigrants came to him, they would hardly be calm.It should be understood in this way: If there is nothing to be resolved by the cadres, the immigrants will not come to the door to curse! "I have something to talk about, can we discuss it together?" Wang Zuqian smiled and called the civil servants to bring some bottles of boiling water, and poured them cup by cup for the more than 200 men and women present. It turned out that this was an immigrant from Yanghe Village who "relyed on the spot" and the leader was surnamed Li.They asked the mayor of the town to answer and make up the full amount, otherwise they would "eat and live in the town government". It is another misunderstanding of the policy.Wang Zuqian had to take out the superior's documents again and again to study for everyone, and then explain each item after learning.Farmers are sometimes very stubborn. He thinks that you have lost him, and he will never listen to your big truths. He only accepts one truth: You make up the money and I leave.The parched Wang Zuqian had no choice but to smile again and continue to read the document over and over again to explain. "Don't listen, don't listen! We are hungry and we need to eat!" "That's right, didn't your mayor usually say that your cadres are most concerned about the well-being of our immigrants! Today we will eat the food cooked by your mayor!" "That's right, the mayor doesn't want to be an official or a lord, how about we enjoy the food cooked by the mayor today?" A group of female immigrants shrieked, showing no less than men. Wang Zuqian still had a smile on his face: "Okay, it's not easy for everyone to come here. Today everyone thinks highly of me, so I'll show off. Let's talk when you're full." After speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and entered the large cafeteria of the town government. In less than an hour, the sweaty Wang Zuqian and several chefs in the cafeteria brought out several steaming baskets full of steamed white buns and steamed dumplings, plus three dishes and one soup, and brought them to the immigrants in a fragrant manner. "Xiangxiang! Xiangxiang!" "I didn't expect Mayor Wang's move to be really good!" "No, this person doesn't look like a master who tells lies to deceive people!" The immigrants whispered to each other as they ate. "How about it? If everyone is not full, I will go to the kitchen again. If everyone is full, how about we talk again?" Wang Zuqian asked loudly with a smile on his face when he saw that everyone had eaten almost the same. "Say it, say it!" "That's right, you brought us here, so why don't you dare to open your mouth again!" I saw the immigrants poking the person surnamed Li in front of Wang Zuqian. "Hey, Wang...Mayor Wang, people say that you...you are quite a real person, not like a deceitful master. So everyone, please come to our village to help everyone learn about policies and solve the problems in your heart. pimple." "Okay, I will arrange time as soon as possible to study and discuss with everyone. If you agree, please go back today. I will definitely go to your village tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Do you think this is okay?" Wang Zuqian still smiled. "Okay, we'll wait for you, Mayor Wang, in the village." "Let's go—" The immigrants left the town hall one after another.When several women walked past Wang Zuqian, they giggled and said, "Mayor Wang, you must be very gentle and filial at home, right?" "Really? How can you tell?" Wang Zuqian asked happily. "Hee hee, just now you were cooking and serving water for everyone!" The women left with a bunch of laughter. In front of the empty gate of the town government, only the mayor Wang Zuqian stood there alone. He looked up at the mountain behind him. Behind the mountain was his home. There were his mother, wife and two children at home. .He has been in Dachang for more than a year, and he has only returned home twice, and each time he returned in a hurry and left in a hurry. Regarding his own home, he had given it all to his wife after he started working as an immigrant eight years ago.During this period, all he could leave to his family was a few dirty clothes hastily given to his wife on the pier and a few clean clothes exchanged from his wife.His wife and children also have immigrant status, and the only possibility is that they can settle in a certain place with him, who is the mayor, according to the policy in the future.As for his mother, Wang Zuqian has been reluctant to mention it, because it is a heart disease of his.He felt that the most sorry thing in the past few years was his mother. "If I were to show filial piety to my mother with one-twentieth of the efforts I made to immigrants, then I would be the best filial son in the world." Mayor Wang, who is not good at words, said to me more than once In this case.Later, when I learned about the situation in Wang Zugan's family, I understood what it meant.It was a tear-jerking story: Mayor Wang Zuqian is currently the mayor who has been working on the front line of immigration for the longest time among the first-level township officials in Wushan County. "Millions of immigrants, from the central government to the provinces and cities, and then to the county and districts, our township level is the last level of government organization that must face to face with the immigrants one by one. Then there are the immigrants, and the village-level cadres themselves It is immigrants, how can the town cadres expect to push it down? To whom? Let the immigrants solve their own problems by themselves? Complete their own tasks? This is obviously not objective. Therefore, the town cadres are implementing the "world-class problem" of millions of immigrants. The last one is also the most cutting-edge interpreter and answerer. In 2001, the town cadres and I worked hard to complete the task of nearly 10,000 migrants. After the task was issued this year, we organized three groups of immigrant representatives to investigate and match with the immigration area. As a result, the immigrants were not interested. I felt a lot of pressure at once, because after a lot of work in the first two years, all the people who should go have gone, and those who have not left are mostly "nail households". It is true that in addition to ideological problems, many people have objective difficulties in various aspects. "But once the superiors issue the immigration quota, our township government must complete it. This is like a war. The mountain cannot be taken down. I, the mayor of the town, can only use my head to meet the county magistrate at the end of the year! Listen to me! I feel heavy when I get up. In fact, my head may not necessarily fall off, but I, the mayor of the town, can’t escape by taking the blame and resigning. As the mayor of the town, I know how difficult the work in the town is and how far I can do it. Yes. So as soon as the immigration task was released at the beginning of the year, and three batches of relocations were completed, I was desperately desperate. But I am the mayor of the town, and I can’t do anything if I have nowhere to go! How can I find a solution? When I was walking on the road, I suddenly thought of my mother. Because when I was a child, when I walked home from school in the dark and cried bitterly in fright, my mother wiped my tears and said to me: Baby, don’t cry, what? When you run out of time, you can turn to your mother! In the years of growing up, when I encountered difficulties many times, I turned to my mother, and she always saved me from danger. My mother is the last support in my heart. I never thought that in my own When my child is already in school, I still have to rely on my elderly mother for help with insurmountable problems. It is indeed a bit sad to think about it. But for the sake of millions of immigrants from the Three Gorges, for me to be a good mayor, and for the sake of Dachang immigrants, the work will not be delayed. Behind others, I went back to my hometown again and begged my 76-year-old mother..." When Wang Zuqian said this, his voice began to choke. "You may not know that since I started working as an immigrant, I have rarely been able to take care of my mother. In 1994, when the immigration work was the busiest, my father died suddenly. The Minister of Armed Forces is also responsible for the resettlement of more than 1,000 people in the township. When my father died of illness, I didn’t have time to see the old man for the last time. After becoming the head of the township, the secretary of the township party committee, and the mayor of Dachang Town, I will see you every year My mother did not go more than two or three times, let alone taking care of and respecting her elderly. In April of this year, I returned to my hometown of Quchi Township with a child’s attachment to my mother. Before returning to my hometown, I asked the county leaders for instructions. I hope Give Quchi Township part of the resettlement quota of Dachang Town this year. The county leaders began to doubt whether this plan would be possible. The task of relocation is heavy, and it is difficult to implement the targets. People in Quchi Township are willing to leave? I said I will try. Only then did the county leaders nod. In fact, I have no idea. "I am no longer a township cadre in Quchi Township. Why do people have to take the problem on their own head? To be honest, I don't want to embarrass others. I know that this problem has to be solved by myself. The only thing I can do is to find my mother, and I want to ask my mother to be a role model as an immigrant. I know that my family has a lot of people. If I mobilize them to relocate, wouldn’t I be able to complete dozens of relocation targets? Pressure from the government! I saw my mother when I got home, kowtowed three times to her, and then told her my thoughts. My mother never thought that my son, who could not return home several times a year, finally appeared When I was in front of her once, I actually made such a request to her! I saw my mother’s lips trembling for a long time and didn’t speak. After my elder brother found out, he taunted me severely. Those words were ugly, saying that I was a cadre Even my 76-year-old mother has to be cheated out of my six relatives? After hearing what my elder brother said, I felt very uncomfortable at the time, and I really felt that I was going too far. "But my mother spoke at this time. She reprimanded my elder brother in front of the family, saying that your younger brother is now a national cadre and is busy with the immigration of the Three Gorges. He has difficulties. Why come to me as a mother to discuss it? What my mother said made me shed tears. But I felt that I could no longer speak to the old man and mobilize her to move out as an immigrant. But I was still anxious, so I asked my sister who was working outside to come back to work as a mother, and asked my sister to tell my mother The benefits of relocating. My mother still didn’t express her opinion. She just said to my younger sister: There is already a tomb of mine next to your father’s grave. I will accompany your father in a few years. My younger sister told me what my mother said. Knowing what my mother was thinking, I took my mother to my home and let her live with my wife and two grandchildren. After a period of time, once my mother saw me coming home, she took the initiative to tell me , Zuer, Mom knows that it doesn’t matter if I am an immigrant or not. If the children can develop in the place where they move out in the future, I promise you. When I heard what my mother said, I couldn’t help kneeling in front of her old man, crying bitterly, and thanking her repeatedly The elderly support my work..." At this moment, there seems to be a movie scene in front of my eyes: in the years of war, a gray-haired heroic mother, facing the enemy's artillery fire, she said to her son without changing her expression: let's go , child, the revolution needs you!If one day you die, Mom will always guard in front of your martyr's tomb... Isn't Mayor Wang Zuqian's mother such a great mother? "I heard that my mother is willing to be an immigrant, and she will come forward to do the work of my elder brother and family uncles and aunts. Soon all the 90 immigration indicators in Quchi Township will be implemented. I am so happy , and I am very proud. When my mother and elder brother officially completed the cancellation procedures at the township government, I went back to express my congratulations. I told my mother that since my son joined the army, he has grown so much I have received a lot of rewards, but the sum of all the rewards is not as happy as this time when my mother took the lead as an immigrant from the Three Gorges. My mother patted my head with a red face and said, your mother is a reasonable person and can help you make a contribution to the Three Gorges , It’s worth offering this old bone! At that time, I heard her old man’s words, and I thought about one thing: If I completed the immigration task well one day, the superiors would give me a certificate or something else In terms of honor, the first person I want to give is my mother, because she is qualified. Did you know that her old man has mobilized 65 people in my immediate and collateral families! In addition to my mother, there are my elder brother and sister-in-law The whole family, my sister's family, my aunt's family, and my old uncles and aunts..." This is the state affairs and family affairs of an immigrant mayor.
