Chapter 467: 1 letter

"Academician Chen, Deputy Mayor Zhao asked me to give this to you." It has

become the resettlement command room of Chen Xin's office. A staff member of

the city government put together a document and a letter with a very solemn

expression. Handed over to Chen Xin.

Chen Xin took what the staff handed over, was surprised, and asked, "What is

this?"

"This is the result of a public opinion survey on whether to carry out post-

disaster reconstruction in the original urban area, and a letter from the

people in the resettlement site to the municipal government. After reading it,

Deputy Mayor Zhao asked me to forward it to you. He said you I should look at

it.” The staff seemed to have read this letter, with a sad expression and some

excitement, but more of a kind of pride.

"Okay, I will watch it." Chen Xin seemed to be aware of something and nodded

seriously.

After the staff left, Chen Xin opened the document in his hand, and the letter

was temporarily placed aside.

The results of the polls can be said to be within Chen Xin's expectations, but

they exceeded his expectations.

Among the people who survived, more than 90% supported the reconstruction of

the city and chose the option of rebuilding the city on its original site.

The people support the reconstruction of the city. This is of course what Chen

Xin expected. After all, the people of Yan country have said that people have

left their homes since ancient times. Although immigrants can be resettled to

safer places, they are always far away from their hometowns. , Turned into a

rootless duckweed.

If there is no alternative, who would be willing to stay away from the

familiar place and living environment and go to a strange place?

Chen Xin was not surprised by the results of the polls. The only thing that

surprised him was that 90% of the people supported the reconstruction of the

original city site.

This is indeed beyond Chen Xin's expectations.

In particular, there is a special note below this article, which was

handwritten with a pen, and this sentence also made Chen Xin feel deeply

shocked.

This sentence is very simple, but when Chen Xin read it, he felt that every

word was heavier and heavier.

"All people in our city accept and understand the damage to the victims'

bodies caused by the reconstruction work."

A short sentence, at first glance, seems very simple, the meaning is also very

clear, there is no misunderstanding and ambiguity.

But the more so, the more the weight behind this sentence can be felt.

It is not one or two bodies, nor the simple consent of one or two people, but

the bodies of one hundred thousand victims and two hundred thousand survivors

who have suffered from the loss of their loved ones, who endured great grief

and grief. Hard and great choice.

The choice they made was to give up the remains of their relatives, not only

gave up the collection of the remains of their relatives, but also to maintain

the integrity of their bodies after death.

Life and death are serious matters. In Yan Country, whether the deceased can

get peace after death is a matter of great importance.

In the traditional culture of the Yan country, it is very particular about the

aftermath of the deceased, not only the death as alive, but also the integrity

of the deceased and whether it can be buried in the earth.

If the deceased cannot enter the land for safety, or the body is incomplete at

the time of burial, it means that the deceased’s soul cannot rest in peace,

and will sink into the world forever.

This is a very taboo thing in the traditional culture of the Yan country. Even

though some feudal bad habits in modern society have been abandoned, the grief

and respect for the dead relatives still make the people of Yan country pay

great attention to the peace of the deceased.

In this way, it is impossible to collect the remains of the deceased, let them

expose the corpse to the wilderness, and even to damage the body, even in

modern society, it is still a very taboo thing, and it is a great disrespect

for the dead and the living.

But now, the 200,000 survivors in this city have chosen a very painful choice

for them.

Chen Xin didn't dare to think about the feelings of these survivors who

suffered the pain of losing their homes and loved ones to make such a

decision, and what kind of sacrifices this decision represents.

Although the living people are more important than the dead, in the current

environment and situation, letting more people live is the most important

thing.

But the deceased was not just a cold body.

They were still alive not long ago, our most important relatives and friends.

Now that they have passed away, this in itself is already a great blow to the

living and an emotionally unbearable pain.

Not only are they unable to collect their remains, but they have to rebuild

their homes on the ruins where their remains are buried, and flatten the ruins

where their remains are buried, causing them to be incomplete and unable to

enter the land for safety, whether it is emotional or moral. , It is

definitely not something that can be easily accepted.

In fact, even if everyone opposes the leveling of the ruins, Chen Xin thinks

it is understandable.

But now, the choice of 200,000 people has been before him, and they have

chosen the most painful option for themselves.

Chen Xin felt very heavy in his heart, bit his lip, put down the poll report

in his hand, and pinched the bridge of his nose before picking up the letter

sent with the poll report.

Although I don't know who wrote this letter, and what was written in the

letter, Chen Xin felt that there should be the answer he wanted.

With awe, Chen Xin unfolded the letter and read it.

The letter was written on a piece of white paper, and it seemed that it was

just a temporary piece of paper. There were even some stains on the paper, but

it did not hinder reading.

Because the content of the letter is not long, UU reading www.uukanshu.com has

only a few lines.

"The earthquake took away our relatives and friends. Their bodies were buried

under the rubble and could not be collected. This is indeed a very painful

thing."

"But the deceased is dead. Although it is very difficult and painful to make

such a decision, I am still willing to agree to the city government's decision

to flatten the ruins and rebuild their homes."

"Although there are still my family's remains under the rubble, the living are

more important than the dead."

"Only by rebuilding their homeland can more people survive."

"It is really unacceptable to flatten the ruins and destroy the remains."

"My family has left me forever. This is indeed very sad and painful, but I

can't let other people's families leave their side because of myself."

"If I am also one of the victims, if my body is still buried deep under the

rubble, please use my body as the cornerstone of my new home. This is the only

strength I can contribute."

"I have no hope for the dead. People who are alive, please take my share of

the future and build a new home."
