Rebirth in 1976 begins with educated youth

When the car arrived at the Yongfeng County Party Committee Guest House, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.

When Zhou Haiyang, Liang Ming and Liu Yan appeared at the door of the county party committee guest house conference room, everyone in the conference room who had been waiting for a long time immediately stood up...

Then, Zhou Haiyang introduced Liu Yan to Zhou Mingshan, Pei Changyuan and others.

When Pei Changyuan saw the young man in front of him, he couldn't help but be startled. He paused, then calmed down and secretly admired:

The young man shows his talent and has a good temperament!I really can’t pick another one in Yongfeng County.

In the following conversation, Liu Yan finally understood that the main reason for notifying him to come to the county in a hurry this time was indeed related to the five telegrams sent out on July 7.

It seems that the power of five telegrams sent out at the same time cannot be underestimated, and the relevant departments have to pay more attention to this matter.

At this moment, the only thing he was worried about was one question: How should he explain this behavior to everyone?

If you ask how you predicted it, how should you answer?

You can't say that you have special powers, let alone that you have foresight because you have traveled through time...

So far, there is no way out.

Liu Yan's mind was running at high speed, and he made a decision immediately:

Make full use of the earthquake prediction card in your hand, use offense as defense, and change passiveness into activeness. Only in this way can you block the opponent's mouth, and even if you have doubts, you can only swallow them in your throat.

……

At this time, Zhou Mingshan walked up to Liu Yan and held his hand tightly: "Comrade Liu Yan, on behalf of the General Administration of Seismology of China and the Tangling, Yanjing, Tianhai, and Lingbei Seismological Bureaus, I would like to express my gratitude to you!

Because of your accurate forecast, the Tangling earthquake reduced economic losses by about [-]%..."

As soon as Zhou Mingshan finished speaking, warm applause erupted in the conference room.

Then, Tang Gang, deputy director of the Personnel Department of the General Administration of Seismology of China, announced: "The General Administration of Seismology of China has decided to award Comrade Liu Yan a bonus of 50 yuan.

Comrade Zhou Haiyang and Comrade Liang Ming were also given a reward of 3 yuan each for their active cooperation in this forecast operation. "

The conference room suddenly burst into applause again.

Tang Gang continued: "In view of Comrade Liu Yan's ability in earthquake prediction and his outstanding performance in the Tangling earthquake, the General Administration of Seismology of China has decided to send a transfer letter to the Yongfeng County Personnel Bureau to transfer Comrade Liu Yan to Yanjing. Work.

He serves as deputy director of the Technical Inspection Center of the General Administration of Seismology of China and enjoys director-level treatment. "

The conference room burst into warm applause again.

……

Next, Pei Changyuan, secretary of the Yongfeng County Party Committee, on behalf of the Yongfeng County Party Committee and the County Revolutionary Committee, fully affirmed and praised Liu Yan's outstanding contribution in predicting the Tangling earthquake.

……

The leaders have finished talking, it's Liu Yan's turn!

At this moment, there was silence in the conference room, and everyone's eyes were turned to Liu Yan.

He stood up slowly, thought for a moment, and then said:

“I would like to thank the leaders of the China Earthquake Administration and all the leaders present here for their encouragement in my work.

I just did what I could as an educated young man and fulfilled my obligations as a Chinese citizen.

In fact, I am not the hero you imagined.

To be honest, during those days when I wanted to send these five telegrams, I hesitated for a long time, and even felt very cowardly and painful in my heart. "

Liu Yan paused, took a sip of the tea in the cup, and then said: "All the leaders here must be thinking, how could Liu Yan predict the occurrence of this major earthquake?

To be honest, I was an astronomy and geology enthusiast when I was in primary school. Even after I graduated from middle school and went to the mountains and countryside, I still liked to observe and study changes in astronomy and geological structures.

In this era when the theory of the uselessness of reading is prevalent and opposition to the white-college path, I can only study secretly.

Half a year ago, based on the changes in astronomical and meteorological conditions, combined with the changes and migration of the geological structures of the continental plates that I had learned in school, I judged that there might be a large earthquake in northern China in July.

But this is just a prediction based on the limited knowledge I have. Without actual experience and persuasiveness, I cannot judge whether it is accurate.

As the date gets closer and closer, the inner struggle becomes more and more intense. I am hesitant and undecided about this.

Because of my family background, my parents have not yet fully implemented the policy.Worry that acting rashly will cause misunderstandings to others and bring irreparable disaster to yourself and your family.

But after days and nights of ideological struggle, in the face of personal interests and national interests, I decided to choose the latter!

Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, even if I can recover a little loss, I will give it a try.

In order to reduce possible panic during the transmission, I cannot use clear text.

At the same time, taking into account the level of telecommunications personnel at the county level, I chose to use Morse code and asked Zhou Haiyang to submit the report at the Yongfeng County Post and Telecommunications Bureau instead of the Ningcheng City Post and Telecommunications Bureau to avoid unnecessary complications in the process.

Since I sent those five telegrams, I have been feeling uneasy because I don’t know whether my judgment is correct or whether it will bring trouble to the country and relevant departments.

At around three o'clock in the morning on July 7, I, who had been watching the radio, heard the news of the Tangling earthquake. I should have felt lucky for my actions, but I felt even more uncomfortable.

I hate myself, why couldn't I have told the relevant authorities earlier?Even a month early!

I hate that my power is too small, I hate myself for being hesitant on this matter, and I hate myself for not being able to do more for the people in the earthquake-stricken areas.

Therefore, this forecast is not about my personal ability, it is just a coincidental prediction.Not worthy of praise at all.

Therefore, I personally cannot accept this money. "

At this moment, there was a commotion in the conference room...

Liu Yan coughed lightly and continued: "If I want to thank you, I should thank the people of Yuanping Village who have raised me for five years.

Here, I would venture to propose that the China Earthquake Administration, the Jiangning Provincial Earthquake Administration and the Yongfeng County Party Committee jointly come forward to establish a Yuanping special road construction fund based on this 50 yuan.

Director Zhou, please tell the leaders of the General Administration of Seismology of China for me and thank them.

I have been in Yuanping for five years, and I deeply feel the suffering of the people in Yuanping. I also deeply feel that our generation has a long way to go to completely change the backwardness of the countryside.

I sincerely ask all the leaders here to call on relevant departments to provide care, help and support for the construction of the Yuanping Highway that the people of Yuanping have been waiting for many years!

Let the people of Yuanping end the difficulty of traveling, going to school, and seeing a doctor as soon as possible.

Please build a real road for us Genpei!Thanks! "

After saying these words, Liu Yan bowed deeply to everyone present.

At this moment, there were tears in his eyes, and everyone in the conference room stood up...

[Author's digression]: The long serial novel "Rebirth in 1976 Begins as an Educated Youth" begins in the 70s and ends in the 21st century, with the main story line spanning more than 40 years.

This work is different from many works that describe the official promotion of students from poor families. It mainly describes the children of cadres in Jiangning Province, represented by Liu Yan, who experienced the 70s, 80s, and [-]s. After graduating from college in the early [-]s, they voluntarily gave up their careers in ministries, commissions, provincial and municipal agencies. Opportunities require the step-by-step growth process after entering rural grassroots work...

The experiences of that year enabled them to learn to calmly, comprehensively and deeply understand the national conditions and people's conditions, especially the actual situation in rural areas.

They have seen and experienced with their own eyes how huge the difference between urban and rural areas is, how unbalanced development is between regions, how poor the vast rural areas are, and the contrast in people's ideological concepts and culture.

They have done their best in the movement of going to the mountains and countryside, in the social projects to change the poverty and backwardness of rural areas, and in the construction of material and spiritual civilization in rural areas, and have achieved indelible achievements.

At the same time, they are also clearly aware of the reality that to completely change the face of rural poverty, it is not only a matter of material poverty alleviation, but also a spiritual poverty alleviation, and there is a long way to go.

Going to the mountains and countryside has made them consciously or unconsciously develop a belief in life that is unwilling to lag behind, be unwilling to sink, and work hard to make progress.

It cultivates the political character of understanding the national conditions and people's sentiments, caring about the destiny of the nation, and hoping for the steady development of the country.

Therefore, when they enter the officialdom, no matter where they are, they will use a deeper look to understand the national conditions, sympathize with the people's sentiments, observe and participate in the changes and development of the country in every major reform...
