In June of a certain year near the new century, the sky in Qihe City was as dark as a giant iron pot tilted upside down, which made people feel extremely depressed. It seemed that they could not even breathe, and there was a heavy rain. Although it was still afternoon, it was so dark that it was almost impossible to see.
Two off-road vehicles turned on their headlights and raced on the highway from Qihe to Yunhu in the rain.
This is a newly built expressway with six lanes in both directions. It is built according to the highest quality standards. Most of the sections are viaducts, and the cost is much higher than that of ordinary expressways. When the construction plan was first proposed three years ago, there were disagreements in the city. Some city leaders believe that in order to save money, it is better not to build so many viaducts.
In the end, Mayor Fan Hongyu made the decision to build the viaduct.
Mayor Fan's opinion is very clear. The expressway should try not to occupy fertile land. In addition, the Qihe River is on the shore of the lake, and flood control tasks are very important. The roadbed of the expressway should be as high as possible above the ground to prevent floods. , which can ensure the smooth flow of highways.
Mayor Fan¡¯s strength in the city is well known to everyone. Once he made the decision, other comrades no longer objected.
Three years ago, Rong Qigao, the former secretary of the Qingshan Provincial Party Committee, was transferred to the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference as vice chairman. Fan Hongyu's old leader, Comrade You Limin, took over as secretary of the Qingshan Provincial Party Committee. Comrade Qiu Mingshan, another old leader of Fan Hongyu, officially served as the director of the National Leading Office for Public Enterprise Restructuring four years ago at the ministerial level. Fan Hongyu's father, Fan Weiguo, the former secretary of the Yanhua Prefectural Committee, was transferred to the Ministry of Agriculture as deputy minister. Gao Jie's father, Fan Hongyu's father-in-law Gao Xinghan, became the governor of Haixi Province a few years ago.
Mayor Xiao Fan is very confident.
Current facts prove that Fan Hongyu¡¯s original decision was completely correct.
Since the beginning of summer this year, heavy rains have fallen across the river basin, and major floods have formed in the entire basin. As a city along lakes and rivers, Qihe City's flood prevention and rescue work is under unprecedented pressure.
Five years ago, when Fan Hongyu became the executive deputy mayor of Qihe City, he prioritized improving the highway transportation network. He borrowed heavily to build several high-grade highways in Qihe City and was determined to comprehensively upgrade the city's highway transportation network. .
Nowadays, heavy rains are raging and floods are raging. Many roads are submerged or semi-submerged by rainwater, and traffic is interrupted. Only these newly built high-grade roads, with high foundations and good quality, are still open to traffic and have immediately become the lifeline of flood prevention and disaster relief in the city.
Huang Zixuan, executive deputy mayor of Qihe City, sat in the off-road vehicle at the back and looked out the window at the heavy rain and the various vehicles running on the highway. He admired Secretary Fan's foresight and admiration.
Secretary Fan has a much longer-term vision than ordinary cadres.
When Fan Hongyu made many decisions, many comrades did not understand them and could not help secretly criticizing Comrade Fan for being too domineering and unable to listen to different opinions. But two or three years later, when we looked back at those decisions, we were surprised to find that Secretary Fan still had the foresight. Secretary Fan's astonishing foresight of future changes in the situation is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Soon the two off-road vehicles got off the highway and headed straight to Luhua Town, Yunhu County.
Countless people are busy on the flood control embankment of Luhua Town. Some people wore raincoats, and many people just put a piece of plastic sheet over their body and used it as a raincoat, which was better than nothing. At a glance, it can be seen that there are at least six to seven hundred people working hard to strengthen the embankment.
Several large machines roared and fought together with the crowd.
Many gas lamps and iodine tungsten lamps were lit around, illuminating the construction site brightly.
The two off-road vehicles stopped at the edge of the construction site and could no longer move forward. There was mud in front of them and they would sink in.
Qihe Municipal Party Committee Secretary Fan Hongyu got out of the car first. Chen Heping, a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, who came with him in the car, opened an umbrella tightly and covered Secretary Fan's head.
Fan Hongyu raised his hand and gently pushed the umbrella aside.
He was wearing a raincoat, but it was already soaked.
Secretary Fan didn¡¯t come from the city, but from another county to Yunhu. During the flood season, Fan Hongyu seldom stayed in the city and went directly to the front line of flood prevention to personally inspect and supervise various flood prevention and rescue work.
¡°Going deep into the front line and going deep into the grassroots level is Secretary Fan¡¯s consistent work style.
Someone with sharp eyes immediately shouted: "It's Secretary Fan, Secretary Fan is here"
A large group of people immediately stopped what they were doing and rushed over. Fan Hongyu is the old county magistrate of Yunhu County, and many "old people" in Luhua Town know him. Secretary Fan's prestige in Yunhu could not be increased, and it did not decrease at all because he left Yunhu.
A thirty-year-old bornA young man, also wearing a raincoat, stepped on the thick mud, walked over with one foot high and one foot low, and shouted loudly: "Secretary, why are you here?"
¡°A closer look revealed that it was Fan Hongyu¡¯s former correspondent in Yunhu County and current Yunhu County Party Committee Secretary Lei Ming.
Fan Hongyu laughed and said, "This Luhua Town is run by your Lei Ming family. You can come but I can't?"
Fan Hongyu was very satisfied when he saw thunder on the flood control embankment. Most of the cadres he single-handedly promoted have followed his lead and never carelessly work. !
Lei Ming opened his mouth, revealing his white teeth, and said with a smile: "Secretary, don't worry, there is no problem in Yunhu."
Before Fan Hongyu could speak, Huang Zixuan, the executive deputy mayor and executive deputy commander of the Municipal Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters, spoke, tapped Lei Ming's nose, and said, "Well, Lei Ming, what you said is not a small talk."
"Hehe, Mayor Huang, you know my character. I say one thing and another thing. If I wasn't 90% sure, I wouldn't dare to boast like this in front of the leaders."
Lei Ming said with a smile, and nodded to Chen Heping, Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee.
The three city leaders who came are all old acquaintances of Lei Ming.
Fan Hongyu asked: "Luhua Town is fine. What about other places? Have you visited them?"
Lei Ming nodded vigorously and said, "I've seen it all. I just came from Xingang. The embankment is quite strong and can withstand it."
Fan Hongyu said: "Thunder, don't take it lightly. This year's flood is a once-in-a-century event. It is bigger than all the floods in previous years. It is bigger than the flood we encountered eight years ago. Safety must be 100% guaranteed."
Eight years ago, just after Fan Hongyu took office as the acting county magistrate of Yunhu County, he encountered a major flood that occurred once in thirty years. The embankments of Luhua Town collapsed directly. Fan Hongyu was involved in the flood and almost died gloriously.
Lei Ming hurriedly said: "Secretary, please rest assured, I understand. In the past few years, we have never saved money on flood control. Each section of the embankment has been repeatedly reinforced, and many sections of the embankment have been rebuilt. I checked and found nothing. Big hidden dangers. Our duty system has been implemented, and spot checks are carried out from time to time. If leading cadres are not on duty, they will be removed from their posts on the spot."
¡°These are the rules set by Fan Hongyu when he took office as secretary of the Yunhu County Party Committee. They have not changed over the years. Every county party secretary has unswervingly implemented these rules and regulations.
Fan Hongyu still trusts Lei Ming¡¯s words.
"Let's go up the embankment and have a look."
Even so, Fan Hongyu still refused to be careless, waved his hand and moved forward. Everyone is busy and follows closely.
"Hello, Secretary Fan."
"Secretary Fan, why don't you come home and have a look?"
"Secretary Fan"
Along the way, many people rushed to say hello to Fan Hongyu. The wind was howling and the rain was pouring. Everyone was shouting at the top of their lungs, with looks of excitement and admiration on their faces.
After these years of development, Yunhu County¡¯s economy has developed increasingly rapidly. It is no longer the Yunhu County it was when Fan Hongyu took office eight years ago. Last year, it successfully ranked among the top ten counties in the country in terms of economy. For a mainland county, this is an extremely rare honor. The people of Yunhu County have benefited from the benefits and have not forgotten the well diggers. At this moment, seeing Secretary Fan is particularly cordial.
"Come home and have a look" says it all.
The people in Yunhu regard Secretary Fan as one of their own!
Fan Hongyu nodded along the way, greeted the crowd, and squeezed the palms stretched out in front of him, no matter how much mud was on these rough palms.
Climbing the embankment, the gentle and clear Qingshan Lake in the past has long since changed. The filthy muddy water is rolling and roaring, one wave after another, hitting the embankment hard, and the water is splashing, just trying to kill the people on the embankment. Tear it apart.
The coming force is extremely fierce.
Fan Hongyu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the rolling and roaring lake. After a while, he said: "This flood is indeed more violent than in previous years."
"Yes, Secretary, according to the flood warning information from the Central Meteorological Observatory, almost all river basins in the upper reaches, including tributaries and main streams, have greatly exceeded the warning level. The first flood peak will reach our city in two days. We are under attack across the board! "
Huang Zixuan said loudly from the side.
With the main stream of the river on one side and Qingshan Lake on the other, the urban area of ??Qihe and most counties are directly threatened by flood peaks. The flood control situation in the city is extremely serious.
Chen Heping also said on the side: "It is estimated that when the first wave of flood peaks reaches our place, it will exceed the second-level warning level."
"Don't be afraid, supportLive! "
Fan Hongyu said in a low voice.
Chen Heping nodded.
Over the years, Fan Hongyu has never relaxed his flood control work, investing large sums of money time and time again to strengthen and reinforce the city's flood control embankments. If you can't stand it like this, then it can really only be said to be God's will.
While he was talking, Chen Heping's mobile phone rang rapidly. Chen Heping quickly took out his mobile phone, pressed the answer button, answered a few words loudly, his face changed slightly, and said: "Okay, okay, I will report to the secretary right away, okay, okay." ¡¡±
Fan Hongyu looked at him, Huang Zixuan and Lei Ming looked nervous.
Could it be that a dangerous situation occurred before the first wave of flood peaks came?
Chen Heping said quickly: "Secretary, this is Mayor Lu's call. Premier Hong has arrived in the province, accompanied by Secretary Qiu and Governor Cao, who have already set off for our city. Mayor Lu asks you to rush back to the city immediately. "
