People cheered and surrounded Xu Yishan. Suddenly, shouts broke out from the crowd, "Xu Yishan, hello!"
The shouts quickly infected all the people, and the words "Xu Yishan" swept over the crowd.
People applauded vigorously, with tears in their eyes, shouted the name of "Xu Yishan", and watched him walk towards the hospital briskly.
This scene made Xu Yishan feel uneasy in his heart. He raised his hands and waved vigorously, responding to people calling his name.
At this time, he found that even Ying Zhaohui, who was following him, was also calling his name.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and several gray-haired old men appeared in front of Xu Yishan. Before Xu Yishan came back to his senses, the old people had already knelt down on the ground.
Xu Yishan was startled, and quickly bent down to help the old people.
But the old people insisted on refusing to get up, Xu Yishan had no choice but to kneel down, he helped the old people and said: "Please get up quickly, I, Xu Yishan, how can I dare to accept such a great gift!"
The old people laughed and said: "Secretary Xu, you are worthy! We have lived to be seventy or eighty years old. When have we ever seen a doctor who doesn't need money, even food. You are a living Bodhisattva, we kneel to you and are willing."
Xu Yishan's eyes became hot, and tears welled up.
Seeing this, Ying Zhaohui and Liu Sicheng took the opportunity to help the old people up.
"Secretary Xu, you have done a great deed." The old people said, "We really saw a living Bodhisattva!"
The whole city of Maoshan became a sensation. The implementation of free medical care made people laugh from the bottom of their hearts. At this moment, happiness overflows every corner of the city, and people are scrambling to feel the joy and joy of happiness coming.
After inspecting several hospitals, Xu Yishan and the others returned to the Maoshan County Party Committee.
Sitting in the meeting room of the Maoshan County Party Committee, Xu Yishan said loudly: "Comrades, today is the first day of the implementation of the free medical system in Maoshan County. Here, on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, I would like to express my gratitude to all the leading cadres and the people of Maoshan for their hard work. , to express my most sincere greetings. Today is the first step of our long march. In the future, there are still many difficult roads for us to walk together, and there are still many peaks for us to climb. I believe that as long as we are united, If we work together, there is no difficulty in the world that can stop us. Everyone said, right?"
There was an excited response below, "Yes!"
"Comrades, in the future work, more new problems will definitely be exposed. I hope that when you encounter problems and difficulties in the future, you will not be intimidated by suffering. The free medical care in Maoshan is still in the pilot stage, and we allow it to make mistakes .However, we must adhere to the principle, adhere to the bottom line, and implement the free system to the end."
The applause broke out again.
"Today, the main leaders of the county and city are here, and the free medical care system has come to an end. What I want to talk about now is the implementation of the 'direct election of the county magistrate' in Maoshan."
As soon as these words came out, the people below began to look at each other in blank dismay.
Everyone here knows that Hengyue City encounters more resistance than free medical care in implementing the "direct election of county magistrates".
Everyone knows that once the system of direct election of county magistrates is implemented, the organizational procedures will be marginalized. And organizational procedures are the core key. They have to worry, once they lose control over the appointment and removal of personnel, how much power will they have in their hands?
? Regarding the direct election of the county magistrate, there are mixed opinions from all parties. This also brings a strange phenomenon to Maoshan's personnel issues. A county has not installed a county magistrate for half a year, which does not happen anywhere.
The attitude of Central Province on the issue of direct election of county magistrates has been vague. But Governor Gong is the most vocal opponent. Secretary Lu, on the other hand, has never had an accurate attitude. He seems to be deliberately indulging Xu Yishan's attempt at direct election.
Of course, as the secretary of a province, he cannot stand in front of the stage and publicly support it.
"
Liu Sicheng did not refuse, and he began to talk about Maoshan's preparations for the direct election of the county magistrate.
"Actually, we have experience that we can learn from." After briefly reviewing the preparations, Liu Sicheng smiled and said: "The experience of foreign countries in this area is already very mature. Why can't we use other people's experience? "
There was silence below.
Everyone is weighing in their hearts, and they are not in a hurry to express their views. After all, it is a matter of position.
According to Liu Sicheng's speech, we all know that Maoshan County has already done sufficient preparations for direct elections. According to the rules of direct elections, everyone in the county who has reached the age of 18 can have a vote.
? Vote first with the village group as the unit, elect a representativeForm, to participate in township elections. According to the size of the population, each township elects representatives of varying numbers to participate in the county-wide unified voting.
In this process, the biggest highlight is that there are no thresholds and no pre-selectors.
After listening carefully, Ying Zhaohui raised a question, "Comrade Sicheng, it doesn't seem to be much different from our current representative system."
Liu Sicheng smiled and said: "Mayor Ying, why is there no difference? The biggest difference here is that anyone in the county can become the county magistrate."
"What if a mentally handicapped person is selected?"
Before Ying Zhaohui finished speaking, there was laughter all around.
Liu Sicheng shook his head and said: "Mayor Ying is too worried. We have rules to enforce, that is, anyone who wants to run for the county magistrate needs to contact the voters directly. He must win the number of votes to be elected before he can become a The new county magistrate."
"Isn't this canvassing? The Election Law strictly prohibits this kind of behavior."
"Yes, it has been opaque because of the strict prohibition. Let me be honest, I believe everyone here feels the same. What we called elections in the past was actually an appointment system. What we want to break is this appointment system."
Maoshan's direct election of the county magistrate is a rehash of an old saying.
After Hengyue City implemented direct elections and was strongly interfered by the Central Province, it once died down. I thought this matter would pass away quietly like this, but I didn't expect that when Maoshan implemented the free medical system, Xu Yishan brought up the topic again.
At noon, after a simple working meal, there was no rest for a moment, and the meeting continued.
By this time, some leaders including Ying Zhaohui knew that Maoshan had never stopped promoting direct elections. From Liu Sicheng's speech and introduction, everyone clearly felt that behind the direct election, Xu Yishan was a staunch supporter.
The meeting finally passed a resolution, and one month later, Maoshan implemented direct elections for the county magistrate.
When the resolution came out, some people were relieved, while others were worried.
When returning to Hengyue, Ying Zhaohui didn't take his own car, but squeezed into Xu Yishan's car.
The two had a heart-to-heart conversation in the car. This conversation was later regarded as a classic.
"Old Xu, have you noticed that direct election means seizing power?"
"If it is said that power has caused the common people to suffer, I am willing to have this power taken away."
"There is a serious problem with your position."
"Looking at it now, it must be. But in the future, it's hard to say."
"Have you made up your mind?"
"Um!"
Ying Zhaohui laughed loudly and said: "A scholar dies for his confidant, Lao Xu, I will follow your footsteps closely until death!"
