Echo of Xi's Voice: In case of difficulties on one side, support from all directions
In China, when the people encounter difficulties, we still need to give full play to the superiority of our socialism, which means that if one side is in difficulty, we will receive support from all directions and the country will fully support us. I hope the disaster relief and reconstruction work is complete and smooth.
In August this year, Shangzhi City and other areas in Heilongjiang Province were hit by floods and waterlogging.
"General Secretary came to our village to care about our post disaster life. He inspected the heating boiler, cooking place, and sleeping place at home, which made me feel particularly warm and touched. Recalling the warm scene, Yang Chungui, a villager from Longwangmiao Village, Laojieji Township, Shangzhi City, couldn't help but be excited.".
When I saw Yang Chungui, the drainage ditch in front of his house that had been washed away had been repaired as before, and the house repair work was also underway. "After the disaster, government officials came several times to inspect the damage to the houses and helped us contact workers to speed up the repair process. I am currently working hard to tidy up the warehouse, inspect agricultural machinery, and continue to cultivate more land, grow good crops, and harvest more grain next year." Yang Chungui said, although we have been hit by the disaster, there are no obstacles that cannot be overcome, and life will gradually improve.
Over a month later, there have been significant changes in the Longwangmiao Village where Yang Chungui is located. The forces that gave rise to this change came from all directions.
"The most touching thing is that various sectors of society have extended a helping hand, with a group of caring enterprises donating urgently needed daily necessities such as rice, noodles, oil, and bedding. This not only warmed the hearts of the disaster stricken people, but also accelerated the post disaster recovery and reconstruction work." Liu Ruixin, a secretary of the Party Committee of Laojiji Township in Shangzhi City, sighed.
In Jifeng Village, a few kilometers away from Longwangmiao Village, the rice fields that appeared to have turned black due to sediment during the disaster have now revealed golden rice ears. At present, it is a critical period for food production, and reducing agricultural losses due to disasters has become an urgent task.
The flood in August caused 10 acres of Liu Huanmao's family's 30 acre land in Jifeng Village, Laojieji Township to be flooded. "We are rushing to drain the accumulated water in the fields and strengthen the prevention and control of diseases and pests. While minimizing losses this year, we are also laying a solid foundation for next year's cultivation." Liu Huanmao said, "With the help of the government and caring individuals in society, we have no reason not to work hard. Now we are full of hope for the future."
This hope also comes from the acceleration of post disaster recovery and reconstruction. In this flood, the affected population in Shangzhi City was 28500 households and 79000 people. Among them, Longwangmiao Village has 327 registered residence and 193 permanent residents. This time, 145 houses were damaged due to flooding.
On September 9th, at a construction site for rebuilding houses in Longwangmiao Village, more than 20 construction workers were busy and sweating profusely. Li Dewei, the person in charge of the post disaster reconstruction project of Heilongjiang Water Resources and Hydropower Group Co., Ltd., instructed the construction personnel to seize the favorable opportunity of sunny weather to rush the construction period. "We need to provide warm houses for the affected people as soon as possible and restore normal production and living order," said Li Dewei.
"We must keep in mind the earnest instructions and spare no effort to do a good job in post disaster recovery and reconstruction, so that the lives of the affected people are getting better and better day by day," said Liu Haitao, Secretary of the Shangzhi Municipal Party Committee.
