    He issued instructions to the earthquake relief headquarters in various places: "The situation is special and there is no spare capacity for separate burials and conditional funerals in various places. Our suggestion is to build cemeteries directly in places with serious casualties, regardless of men, women, old and children."  It is the last word to carry out joint burials and public sacrifices in a unified manner for all races, and to allow the deceased to be laid to rest as soon as possible."

    ?That¡¯s indeed the case.  Governments at all levels encountered much less resistance when discussing this matter with the surviving imams.  Is it a step-by-step process to distinguish the ethnic groups of the deceased and prepare their own tombs?  Many places cannot be completely separated and identified. It is already good to find the manpower to deal with the dead. How about other things?

    If you are poor, you are not so particular.  The Han people are like this, and so are other ethnic groups.  All rules, thoughts, concepts, habits and scruples are nothing in the face of natural disasters.  Having a safe place to live is infinitely better than being buried in a hillock.

    Different ethnic groups, speaking different words, gathered in a mountain corner and bid farewell to their relatives with the same grief.  A white stone tablet stands at the entrance of the cemetery. On it are the words "Cemetery for the Victims of the Haiyuan Earthquake" in large black letters, written by Zhang Hanqing himself.  This is an open area with excellent views and is a recognized Feng Shui treasure.  There was a gentle breeze, and the air was filled with inexplicable sadness.

    Nowadays, no matter what nationality, identity or gender, when people meet each other, they hold hands and cry. The intimacy is difficult for ordinary people to understand.  People are closest to each other in times of difficulty, and people¡¯s hearts are connected in times of trouble. This is how human beings have come from the center of difficulties to where they are now.  When we are alive, we all live under the same roof. When we die, being buried together is a great blessing in this unfortunate life.

    After the brief and poignant narration, there was a collective moment of silence.  Then, an infantry platoon of the People's Army temporarily acted as a salute soldier and fired three rounds into the air, and the burial of the deceased came to an end.

    From Guyuan to Longde, Xiji, Jingyuan, Jingtai, and all over Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai, scenes like this are constantly happening.

    At this point, Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia provinces have become the only regions in the world where all ethnic groups are buried together. This habit continues to spread under the conscious guidance of the government.  Anyway, from then on, the government has not designated the cemetery area of ??a certain ethnic group. Everyone has tacitly agreed to expand outward along the tombs of the deceased in order.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off.

    This is an episode in the disaster relief activities.

    The dead are old and the injured are being rescued as much as possible. The government builds nursing homes for the elderly and helpless in various places. The government also provides proper placement for the young and helpless: either they are adopted by the local people voluntarily, or they are adopted by the government.  The government came forward to establish nurseries and children's welfare homes - this was the formation of the charity system in modern Chinese history and a historic initiative.

    From December 16 to New Year's Day 1921, the Fengcian faction headed by Zhang Hanqing donated more than 3 million yuan for disaster relief, dispatched nearly 80,000 officers and soldiers, and mobilized more than 10 million people to participate in disaster relief. People in the four provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai  All have carried out large-scale post-disaster reconstruction.  In order to stabilize the mood of the victims, Zhang Hanqing also organized millions of migrant workers to build the Shaanxi-Gansu Highway, which not only fully utilized manpower, but also effectively promoted transportation development.

    It is worth mentioning that after this disaster relief, the army was baptized.  These brothers, who were born in Fengjun and did not really understand the relationship between soldiers and civilians, saw for the first time the dependence, trust and respect of the people in the disaster area. For the first time, they felt from the bottom of their hearts a sense of responsibility to "save the people from the fire and water".  and a sense of pride, feeling the value of being a soldier, thus fully psychologically recognizing the dignity of the "people's soldiers" and creating a strong cohesion, which no amount of verbal preaching and education can replace.

    The victims who received help recognized the People's Army to an unprecedented degree. After experiencing a revolving door of army rotations, the people of the northwest discovered for the first time that this army from afar, in addition to its amazing combat effectiveness, also had an attitude towards the common people.  It is completely different from other armies, and it also psychologically identifies with the title of "People's Army".

    The invincible teacher, the teacher of benevolence and righteousness!

    Under the supervision of all parties, ten days after the disaster, the Republic of China government finally dispatched a joint investigation team for the Haiyuan earthquake. The Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce jointly dispatched Weng Wenhao, Xie Jiarong, Wang Lie, Su Benru, Yi Shoukai, and Yang Jingwu  Composed of 6 others, Hall, a member of the International Hunger Relief Association, also accompanied him from Beijing to Shaanxi.

    What I saw along the way was sad: In Henan, due to a year of drought and the impact of the earthquake, a large number of refugees have appeared in western Henan.  The further west you go, the more serious the disaster becomes, and the number of damaged houses begins to increase.  When asked about local governments, they all said that the earthquake made the already stretched poverty situation worse.

    &nb??Spot checks can ensure that you have enough to eat, sleep well, and work on building houses, water conservancy facilities, and cultivating fields on time every day. Everything is organized, arranged and managed uniformly.  Although the victims were in a bad mood due to well-known reasons, they were still very organized and full of hope.

    ¡°This all feels new, especially to Hall from International Hunger Relief.  He has been in China for many years and is used to seeing how Chinese officials enrich themselves in the name of disaster relief.  In fact, in the official history, the meager donation for the Haiyuan earthquake was still used by many people, so much so that when the Red Army was crossing the grassland, they fought against some people who were reported.

    "A young man from the Northeast did not make money from it, but also spent great efforts to distribute money to the victims under his jurisdiction. This was unimaginable in China in the early Republic of China.  As a result, he did not hesitate to praise Zhang Hanqing in his subsequent investigation report, saying: "This is a pure person, a noble person, and a good bureaucrat who loves the people as his son. If China were all under the rule of his officials, what would happen  A refreshing achievement." (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
