Past events of Three Gorges: From Kaixian to Lezhi, I accompanied the emigrants.

July 3th, 21 was an unforgettable day for 68 farmers in Zhen 'an and Houba towns.

On this day, a motorcade consisting of 5 military vehicles and 1 square vehicles carried their hope wings and headed for Weiyuan and Lezhi counties in Sichuan Province.

On this day, 325 immigrants will take 1 sleeper buses and leave Kaixian County, Chongqing, which has been their home for generations. Journalists walked with immigrants, from the place of emigration to the place of emigration, hearing and seeing, not only felt the warmth of the party's immigration policy, but also appreciated the hardships of local governments and migrant workers, and gained a deeper understanding of hardworking and simple rural immigrants.

"Give up your family, care for everyone, and contribute to the Three Gorges Project"!

Millions of immigrants, from slogan to action, from the migration from A to B, from hometown to other places, farmers hang their emotions on their faces and bury them in their hearts: in the gap between loading cars, I am worried to find that the hands of the householder are trembling and touching, and their eyes are straight; On the farewell road, I was surprised to see an old woman on crutches heading for a long journey, closing her eyes and praying; In the farewell ceremony, although drums were blaring, firecrackers were lit with joy, and the speeches of government officials in the emigration area were full of passion, I only read two words from the eyes of the participants: tragic.

I arrived in Kaixian on the afternoon of 29th. Zhu Zhanquan, director of the Office of Immigration Bureau, arranged for me to stay and leave immediately, saying that at 5 o'clock, the first transport of military vehicles for emigrants would be held in Liu Bocheng Memorial Hall, and he would go there. Peng Xiaodong of Kaizhou Times in this county is an acquaintance. I interceded with Chen Nengwen, secretary of the Party Committee of the Immigration Bureau, and asked him to interview with my peers. Secretary Chen readily agreed, but asked us to separate: he went to Zhen 'an, and then I immigrated to Lezhi County. It is said that more materials will be collected and the situation will be more comprehensive.

it's up to the guest to help himself. About Peng Xiaodong went to the meeting at four o'clock, and waited until half past seven, when the military vehicles arrived slowly. The person in charge was about to have a meeting when it suddenly rained cats and dogs, so the ceremony had to be cancelled. I never thought that the rain was so tight that it didn't stop all night. When I looked at the window in the morning, I thought it was bad. It was leaking in Kaixian County, and the immigrants might not be able to leave today (the locals are fighting drought and don't want to suddenly rain).

At about 8 o'clock, I called Lao Zhu and said that I wanted to visit the immigrant's home. Lao Zhu said that the back dam couldn't go, and the bridge was washed away by the rising water of the river dam. You couldn't get through, and neither could the motorcade over there. If you want to see it, go to Zhen' an town. I said ok, no matter where, I want to see it.

So, Lao Zhu sent a car to take me to Zhen 'an Town Government in the rain.

Ask the town immigration office. Villagers in several nearby villages have already demolished their homes and moved their furniture to the roadside or relatives' homes. Mayor Luo, who is in charge of immigration work, said that the dam was flooded and the ship could not cross. It's raining nonstop, and there are several immigrants and military vehicles stuck on the other side of the river. It's really urgent. After a while, Chen Shuji of the Immigration Bureau came. He used his mobile phone to call the county leaders to report that it had not stopped raining last afternoon and requested to send an assault boat for flood control. In the afternoon, the rain finally stopped. Seeing the military vehicles with scattered furniture returning to Zhen 'an town one after another to spread out the "one" long snake array, the people at the farewell ceremony were so emotional that they were busy moving the venue originally planned to be arranged in the conference room outdoors.

after lunch, people gathered in front of the town government. At 1: am, men, women and children in Zhen 'an Town witnessed the "first transport of military vehicles to see off migrants in Kaixian County" with mixed feelings. The secretary of the county party Committee and the representative of a Red Army Division in Chengdu Military Region delivered warm speeches, followed by the speech of the immigrant representative. In contrast, the speech of the immigration representative is more touching-even though he is also scripted.

after a short ceremony of half an hour, the immigrant military vehicles drove from the hillside of the venue to the street corner, and the specially hired wind band played music heartily, and the welcoming people applauded and waved goodbye to their children.

slowly, slowly, the military vehicles left people's sight, carrying the blessings of their relatives in their hometown and holding their thoughts.

The meeting broke up, and the folks in the meeting venue refused to leave for a long time ...

According to the plan, the migration and the relocation of the motorcade were separated. The usual practice is: the truck goes first, and a few hours later, the bus carrying immigrants will leave from home. I went to Zhen 'an Town to watch the fun. After the ceremony, I should say goodbye to Peng Xiaodong and go back to Houba Town. Xiaodong is in his prime, and his writing style is good. I believe that he will be able to write a wonderful report by following the immigrants to Weiyuan this time.

The Houba River has not subsided, and it still can't pass, so we have to wait in the county immigration office and chat with Lao Zhu. Lao Zhu has been a director for several years, and the situation of immigrants in the county is familiar. He said: Kaixian County is a land of outstanding people and enjoyed the reputation of "the hometown of raising children" in the old days. The county seat is a rare big town in eastern Sichuan, with a permanent population of over 1, people. There are two rivers around the county, and the terrain is gentle, which is a land of feng shui. The county has a population of more than 1.5 million. Because the county seat and many towns and villages are under the water level line, the immigrant population in the county also exceeds 5,. The number of resettlement tasks alone is 9,, and the county has planned to complete 1, people.

Speaking of the hard work of migrant workers, Zhu Zhanquan listed many touching examples. He told me that at the end of June this year, the county held a report on the deeds of emigration, and 12 speakers, led by Chen Nengwen, made the participants burst into tears. Lao Zhu said that such an emotional meeting, such a touching scene, such a meeting that inspires people's fighting spirit and enhances their sense of mission and responsibility is probably unprecedented in Kaixian County. This is because: Kaixian's emigration is unprecedented!

After dinner, I went to Houba with Director Liu Yongliang of the Immigration Bureau by Mitsubishi SUV to check the loading situation. At this time, the river has subsided and the river can be opened to traffic. Before reaching the destination, most of the immigrants have boarded the sleeper bus, and most of the military vehicles are ready to go. Unexpectedly, a minor problem occurred temporarily, but it was also a big difficulty: five families who had refused to move changed their minds at 3 pm and were willing to accompany them. Now, we have to temporarily call the local car, the sleeper is full, and we have to requisition vehicles from the Transportation Bureau to transport the remaining 2 people.

this ordeal has disrupted the original plan to leave at 8 o'clock. The motorcade sailed through the county seat to the suburban gas station, waiting for the special car sent by the Transportation Bureau, and didn't really hit the road until 1 pm. Because of the command car, Director Liu led the team, accompanied by Director Zhao of Chongqing Immigration Bureau, who is in charge of the relocation of Sichuan Province, and Wang Jun, the head of the urban relocation department of the bureau. The driver, surnamed Xiao, is alert and said that he has run tens of thousands of kilometers with the boss this year. When the motorcade didn't start, the four of them kept ringing their mobile phones, either calling this one to pay attention to safety or telling that one how to coordinate, which made me feel deeply.

On the way, I had the following conversation with Director Liu Yongliang: "Director, is it hard to be the number one?"

"annoyed. Great responsibility and psychological pressure. You see, it's only now that we are busy on the road. We have to pass through ten counties and cities along the way, such as Kaijiang, Liangping, Dianjiang, Changshou, Chongqing, Bishan, Weinan and Anyue, and there are more than 1, kilometers of roads. Something is wrong. "

"how old are the children at home? Is it a daughter or a boy? "

"Baby girl, 14 years old, in Grade Two!"

"Are you in charge of children's studies?"

"Who cares? Hey ... I can't control it if I want to. Fortunately, my wife is in the Environmental Protection Bureau, unlike me. "

"Don't you complain about your long-term neglect of your family?"

"complain-how can you not complain? Who doesn't complain, I will! "

"madam can understand you?"

"understand. This errand is destined to give more and pay more than others. We are people who do immigration work, aren't farmers who have left their homes human? It should be said that they complain more than we do. To tell the truth, to do immigration work, you must first learn to suffer indignities, suffer and even be beaten and scolded! But we ... How can I put it? First of all, you are from party member and a national civil servant. It is our duty to do everything possible to solve problems for immigrants. When the government hands over the immigrants to us, we should work patiently and carefully, send them to the resettlement place safely, and leave a special working group to do a good job in the aftermath ... Immigrants are all living people, they are not wood or stone, so they can move away if they say they move. You see, today, the total number of people I brought with me is only 33 households with 149 people. It's hard to move from yesterday to now ... "

it's hard to return to the difficult, but the spirit of a grassroots immigrant cadre has been reflected in my heart.

Near zero, the motorcade arrived at Renshi Town, Kaijiang County, and some immigrants stopped for dinner: they were busy moving furniture and getting on the bus in the afternoon, and all the villagers didn't have time to add their stomachs. Three reporters from Chongqing Evening News who accompanied them to Houba Town were also hungry. Director Liu and his party arranged for immigrants to have dinner, and then drove to Qiqiao Town, liangping county, where half of the immigrants stopped for dinner. In this way, the command car looked forward and backward all the way, stopped and stopped, and the team ran from dark to dawn. At 1: 4 am on the 31 ST, it finally arrived at the hometown of Marshal Chen Yi, Lezhi County, Sichuan Province.

The county town is small, and the buildings and streets are not trendy enough, but the atmosphere is quite warm. Before the motorcade arrived, I heard drums and music, cars approaching the venue, heavy makeup yangko teams dancing, Lezhi County had put down the handover ceremony, and multi-level cadres came forward with a big smile.

the handover ceremony was short, cheerful and lively. Immigrants were lying in their cars overlooking the venue, and their eyes overflowed with two words: expectation. I look forward to unloading the car early and walking into my new home early.

I pay special attention to the figures of the township cadres who moved in. They all hold the roster in their hands, and together with the township cadres who moved out, they called the names of the heads of households one by one and handed over their counterparts; Later, the cadres who moved in led the new partners belonging to the village to take a variety of cars rented from all over the country.

I was idle by car, so I ran around. Lezhi County, according to the resettlement in Houba Town, Lezhi County, was divided into three towns and villages. The immigrants called the women to follow the team leader into the car and disappeared. It's too late to inquire about the number and number of households in each township, and it's too late to ask the immigrants how they feel when they come to a new place. It's like a blink of an eye, and they all disappeared without a trace.

fortunately, I know where they are going.

at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I drove to Tianchi Township with the leaders of Sichuan Immigration Office and Lezhi County to visit immigrants. After arriving at the immigrant settlement, I deliberately lagged behind and stayed at the door of Zhu's house.

There are two households here, door to door. The house has a two-story structure, and the facade is tiled, which looks quite imposing. When you walk in, there are many rooms upstairs and downstairs, and there are parapets, toilets, pigsty and pools in the backyard, which gives people the feeling that the owner's economic strength is not weak, and he is also quite calculating. It's a pity that the furniture hasn't arrived, and it seems that the family is surrounded by walls and empty.

The owner is nearly 4 years old, lean and old-looking, but not like an honest farmer. Upon inquiry, the two brothers, 1 people, moved to build the house together so that they could take care of each other.

He proudly told me that this house was built by himself.

walk to the door. I asked him how big the housing area was, and he said it was more than 3 square meters. Asked how much he spent, he squinted and smiled: "Not much, not expensive".

just then, a sleepy woman came out of the room. He introduced: "This is my wife".

I asked, "Sister Zhu, is this your first visit?" She replied, "Yes".

I asked again, "From my hometown where I have lived for many years, I came all the way to my new home. When I first saw your house, what did you think?"

She replied lazily, "The house feels ok. But there is no electricity and water shortage, so I will live a life in the future. I am annoyed. I don't know if this dead man's head is possessed by evil, so he chose such a terrible place. "

"Why is there no electricity?" I was surprised. "Yes, wow, like a jack-o'-lantern." The woman glared at her husband.

The husband quickly explained: "The voltage is low, and there is no transformer in the village, so I can't watch TV at night."

"What about water? Why is there no water?" I am anxious to inquire.

"poor sand, I heard that there is no river in this county. It's been dry here for a long time, and it's said to be once in a hundred years. The ponds and fields have dried up long ago. "

after hearing what he said, my heart sank.

Houba Town in Kaixian County is a land of plenty. How can immigrants survive when they move here without electricity and water? Now the relocation is done, but it seems that the situation is not optimistic.

three new houses are built around the corner from Zhujiajian. Three households are side by side, with rough cement walls and white slabs. It seems that the economic conditions of these three households are far less than those of the Zhu brothers. Cadres are bossing around an old man. I guess they must have listened to the old man's complaints. Looking from a distance, I lost interest in approaching them.

so, the cadres turned back. On the way, Director Liu saw that I was depressed and asked, "How do you feel after seeing this place?"

I asked, "Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

"Of course it's the truth!"

I said, "The geographical conditions are poor. It seems that the rural power grid transformation in Lezhi County has not yet started. I am afraid that new immigrants will not be happy when they come to Lezhi. "

director Liu sighed: "to be honest, I feel very uncomfortable after reading this. The person in charge of resettlement in Lailezhi, Kaixian County is not responsible, and the settlement has not been selected! "

what else can I say when he comments like this?

When I came to Peacock Township, the reporter's eyes lit up and he was refreshed.

Peacock Township Government is located in a small town with dilapidated houses, but two rows of two-story buildings have been built uniformly along both sides of the highway, thus forming a new street. There are 1 households with 43 people in Houba Town, Kaixian County. The new house is located here, one by one, which is quite beautiful. When the new immigrants saw my visit, they all looked very happy and kept talking around. In the warm atmosphere, what I feel most is the gratitude of the immigrants to the receiving government, especially the township leaders.

That was quick. When the county leaders came to visit the immigrants, the township cadres handed a brand-new stack of household registration books to the immigrant Xu Xinmin and asked him to distribute them on his behalf. Xu Xinmin is 36 years old, uneducated, and has been working in Guangdong all the year round. This time he moved back specially. He said he would go to Guangdong as soon as it was arranged here. He is a family of four, the eldest daughter is 1 years old, and the little boy is only one and a half years old. He was fined more than 7, yuan for giving birth to a son. He said that he is a farmer in name, but he is not used to staying in rural crops.

Compared with the immigrants in Tianchi Township, there is obviously no shortage of electricity and water here. Wang Wenpin, a 59-year-old immigrant, told me with joy: "See, the cement pole in front of the door is the line that the township government specially uses for us. The leaders here treat us like relatives!"

Wang Wenpin said that he, his wife, two daughters and son-in-law, and his grandson all came. He lives in the same apartment as his youngest daughter, and the eldest daughter lives in the same apartment. The two families are next to each other. Because the house is in urgent need of repair, it is damp downstairs, so we can only live upstairs first. The new house covers an area of nearly 14 square meters, the unified building standard is 23 yuan/square meter, the windows are made of aluminum alloy, the doors are also wrapped upstairs, and the two large rolling gates on the first floor cost more than 1, yuan unilaterally.

I asked him how much it always cost to build a house. Lao Wang smiled and said, "More than 3,, not expensive. The owner of this house didn't make any money. " Just then, the building owner came. I asked what happened, and the boss said frankly, "The township leaders have taken special care of the houses of these 1 immigrants and are not allowed to make black-hearted money. So I didn't put my mind into it
