First Secretary of Rebirth

"Baby, I'm sorry for you!" He Chaoyang had just walked to Zhanggu County when he heard a heart-piercing cry.

"What's the matter?" He stopped and stared, only to see that the buildings on both sides of the road had been shaken into ruins, and an elderly woman knelt on the ground and cried loudly, beating her chest with her fist while crying.Amidst the cries of the old woman, a group of young and strong men were gathering in front of a ruin, digging bricks and shouting a person's name loudly.

"What happened?" The reporter who followed He Chaoyang into the mountain ran over immediately.

"Hurry up and change shifts, help!" The middle-aged man in the lead shouted loudly when he saw the group of people, "There is a person buried under here, everyone buy time to rescue him!"

"Please help me!" The old woman knelt on the ground and knocked her head heavily.

"Old man, don't do this." He Chaoyang stepped forward and helped the old man up.As a result, the old man refused to get up, "If I don't get up, I want to atone for my baby!"

He Zhaoyang sighed, and said, "Xiao Tan, go and help."

Tan Chenggong took people there, and under the concerted efforts of everyone to rescue him, a dark blue corner of his clothes gradually emerged.

"It's here! It's here!" The middle-aged man exclaimed in surprise: "Xiao Du! Xiao Du!"

There was no response, and bad premonitions floated in everyone's hearts. The old woman stopped crying and stared at the small corner of her clothes with wide-open eyes.

"Come on, everyone, work harder!" The middle-aged man called a group of strong laborers to gather around the concrete beam that held down the corner of the navy suit. "I'll call one, two, three! Let's lift it together!"

This was the last battle to rescue the oppressed people, and He Chaoyang also stood in the team carrying the concrete beams.

"Mayor..." Commander Wei of the military division was anxious.

He Chaoyang shook his head, following the man's chant, he tried his best to lift the concrete slab with everyone.

"One, two, three! Let's go!"

"Quick, I saw someone! Get Xiao Du out!"

Under the raised concrete slab, a dusty figure prostrated on the ground appeared, but what made people worry was that no matter how everyone shouted, that figure did not respond.

One group lifted the concrete slab, and the other lifted the young man who was pressed under the cement slab.When I lay the person flat on the ground, and tried to test his breath with trembling fingers...

"How is it?" The middle-aged man took the lead in putting down the cement slab and rushed over.

The man shook his head.

Under the light, the dusty figure was lying quietly, his young face deformed by the cement board. He Chaoyang noticed that this was a staff member wearing a disaster prevention armband, but an accident happened for some reason.

"Baby! I'm sorry for you!" The old woman knelt and crawled to the side of the young man, brushing the young man's dusty face with trembling hands. After she was sure that the young man was really not breathing, the old woman The woman collapsed completely. She lay on top of the young man and kept crying, "I was the one who was infatuated, and I was the one who killed you! It's me who deserves to be damned, you are so good and young! Baby, Ma'am, I'm sorry..."

This heart-piercing cry infected everyone present. The middle-aged man's eyes were red. He took out a towel and gently wiped the young man's face.

Under the explanation of others, He Chaoyang and his party finally understood the truth of the matter.

The young man, surnamed Du, is a college student who just started working this year. During this disaster prevention drill, he went door-to-door and invited residents to an open space not far from the community. Just before the earthquake, he was still doing this. The job of an old lady, but the old lady is too stubborn and insists on moving out the most valuable TV set in the house.

Xiao Du had no choice but to persuade the aunt to go first, and he went in to move the TV.

But he went in and never came out again.

This tragedy silenced everyone.

Only the old woman was still crying, but no amount of tears could bring back this young life.

"Let's go." He Chaoyang called Xiao Tan to stop. They were going to continue to the center of Zhanggu County. The tragedy had already happened, and staying here would not be of much help, and he had more important things to do.

"Yes." Xiao Tan looked back again, the middle-aged man was taking off his clothes to cover the young man.

Natural disasters are merciless, people are merciful, the dead have passed away, and more people are waiting for rescue.Time has passed by every minute and every second, and every time it beats, the vitality of those trapped people will decrease by one point, so there is no more hesitation.

"Mayor He!" Before He Chaoyang and his party walked out of the ruins, Liu Congjian rushed over panting.

Mayor He?Everyone was stunned. The middle-aged man looked at Liu Congjian who was rushing over in disbelief. Liu Congjian was the commander-in-chief of disaster relief in Zhanggu County. The middle-aged man had participated in the drill hosted by Liu Congjian as a member of the disaster prevention team. Mobilization meeting.

Deputy Mayor Liu once said that these drills were organized under the supervision of Mayor He Chaoyang, and he was also entrusted by Mayor He to come to Zhanggu to guide the local drills.

The four consecutive drills have long caused resentment among the local cadres and the masses. Everyone has a lot of opinions on this mayor He who is just looking for trouble!But when the fourth exercise was about to end and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the sudden earthquake stunned them all at once.

Seeing those houses collapsing suddenly, seeing colleagues who have been together day and night being swallowed up by the collapsed houses in a blink of an eye, seeing familiar streets, cities, and places where they have lived for decades turn into ruins in the blink of an eye, the power of nature is too strong. Powerful, everyone was stunned.If there hadn't been this disaster drill, if they hadn't obeyed the instructions from above and stayed in the house, if... they didn't dare to think about it anymore, a little Du would be enough to make them regret it.

"Are you Mayor He?" With tears in his eyes, the middle-aged man hurried up to He Chaoyang.

"I'm He Chaoyang." He Chaoyang took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with him.

"Mayor He! You saved everyone!" The man was so excited that he didn't know what to say, "You are Zhang Gu's great benefactor! If it wasn't for you, comrades..." He was choked up and couldn't continue.

He Chaoyang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be sad, Xiao Du is gone. We still have a lot to do. The earthquake has just passed. We must not only prevent aftershocks, but also arrange the lives of ordinary people."

"Yes, I know." The man wiped his eyes with his hand and said, "Mayor, why did you come to Zhanggu? It's too dangerous here!"

"The road outside was blocked by landslides. The mayor is worried about this place. He walked in on foot!" The accompanying reporter couldn't help shouting.

The people present were so excited that they didn't know what to say. They gathered around one after another, with respect and gratitude on their faces, looking at Mayor He who gave them a second life.

Hearing that Mayor He was coming, more and more people gathered around him.

How much he resented He Chaoyang in the past, but now he is more grateful.

People don't understand what political risk is, and they don't know how He Chaoyang would be blamed if the earthquake hadn't happened.

The reality is that He Chaoyang's persistence saved everyone's lives. This is more important than anything else.

There were more and more crowds watching, everyone looked at Mayor He excitedly, their lips trembling, but they didn't know what to say.

Words of gratitude are so feeble.

But in the face of this young mayor, how can they express their gratitude?

"Mayor, please tell everyone." Liu Congjian took a portable speaker and handed it to He Chaoyang.

He Chaoyang stood on the ruins, looked at the citizens surrounding him, and slowly raised the horn.

"Hi everyone, I am He Chaoyang, the mayor of Annan City! I am here to visit you on behalf of the Annan City Government!"

"Hello Mayor He!"

"Hello Mayor He!"

Greetings burst into the crowd one after another. He Zhaoyang looked at the excited crowd and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

As night fell, Liu Congjian instructed the staff to set up an emergency light.

Under the light, He Chaoyang's handsome face looked a little tired, but his eyes were piercing.

He stood on the ruins, looking at the crowd, his eyes flashed with pain, but immediately, his expression changed, he became so resolute and brave!

"Comrades! No one wants to see the earthquake happen, but since it happened, we have to face it bravely! Now, our first task is to report the missing persons, search for the victims who may be buried in the rubble, and then One point is that we need to settle our own lives. The existing food, medicine, tents and other relief materials in Zhanggu are not enough to distribute evenly, so we must give priority to the elderly, children and people in special situations. Please understand this. In addition , The passage to Zhanggu from the outside world is being opened up, and by tomorrow morning, the first batch of relief supplies will definitely arrive in Zhanggu!"

"Mayor He, don't worry! This life is saved, what else is there to be afraid of!"

"Yeah yeah!"

He Zhaoyang raised his hand again, and everyone immediately quieted down.

"Tonight is the first night after the earthquake. Food, coats, quilts, and tents can only be given priority to special groups of people. What everyone can do is to save themselves as much as possible when preventing aftershocks! According to the Zhanggu Disaster Prevention Office Each disaster prevention team can receive a certain amount of food and supplies, and everyone should use them sparingly as much as possible, and the most urgent task is to get through the first night after the disaster!"

The situation is very grim, and He Chaoyang did not boast. The road leading to Zhanggu has not been completely cleared. According to the forecast of the Meteorological Bureau, there will be a relatively heavy rainfall in the disaster area tonight, which will bring great harm to the rescue work. Great difficulty.

"According to the forecast of the Meteorological Bureau, there will be a relatively heavy rainfall later tonight. Now the Disaster Prevention Office has set up a temporary rescue point in the square in front of the Zhanggu County Government. People with old, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant people at home can Send those who need care there!"

"The disaster prevention teams at all levels reported the needed materials and immediately started to organize the earthquake relief work. We must let the masses survive the first night after the earthquake safely!"

"Yes!" The heads of several disaster prevention teams responded loudly.

"Comrades! The earthquake has already happened, and the disaster is irreparable. What we have to do is to face the reality! With the full support of the government, we will use our hands and our beliefs to rebuild our homeland!"

There was a round of applause at the scene. He Chaoyang didn't want to say these stereotypes at first, but with so many eyes at the scene, especially the accompanying reporters, it was unreasonable not to give the government a big hat.

These words didn't take long, and He Chaoyang knew that no matter how much he said now, he couldn't really solve the problems faced by the victims.

As soon as the news that he hiked into the mountain came out, it was a kind of encouragement to the victims. As long as everyone's energy was mobilized, his goal had been achieved.

"Okay, the disaster prevention teams will start working immediately, and I want to go to other places to have a look!" He Chaoyang looked at the victims who surrounded him, reluctant to let him go, and couldn't help but comfort him, "Everyone, relax, The government will do everything in its power to help everyone get through this difficult time!"

"Mayor, don't worry!"

"Mayor, thank you..."

With the help of Liu Congjian, everyone made way for a passage, so that the heroes in their hearts could pass through smoothly.

The raindrops fell precariously, and He Zhaoyang knew something was wrong. According to the forecast of the Meteorological Bureau, the rain was only heavy, and he had to travel all over Zhanggu County before the heavy rain fell.

"Let's go." He Chaoyang pursed his lips tightly, with a resolute expression.

At this time, the satellite phone in Xiao Tan's hand rang.

"The mayor is Secretary Ma of the Provincial Party Committee."

"Hi Secretary Ma, I'm He Chaoyang."

"Comrade He Chaoyang, Premier Liang and I are on the helicopter heading to Zhanggu County. Please send out the navigation signal to guide us to land!"

He Chaoyang was stunned. He suddenly looked up at the sky, and there seemed to be the roar of a helicopter not far away.
