"Academician Chen, Vice Mayor Zhao asked me to give this to you." In the command room of the resettlement point that has become Chen Xin's office, a city staff member put together a document and a letter with a very solemn expression. Handed over to Chen Xinxin.
Chen Xin took the thing handed over by the staff, was surprised, and asked: "What is this?"
"This is the result of a public opinion poll on whether to start post-disaster reconstruction work in the original urban area, and a letter written by people in the resettlement site to the city government. After reading it, Vice Mayor Zhao asked me to forward it to you. He said that you You should read it." The staff seemed to have read the letter, and their expressions were a little sad and a little excited, but more of a sense of pride.
"Okay, I'll take a look." Chen Xin seemed to have noticed something and nodded seriously.
After the staff said goodbye and left, Chen Xin opened the document in his hand and put the letter aside for the time being.
It can be said that the results of the public opinion poll were within Chen Xin's expectations, but they exceeded his expectations.
Among the surviving people, more than 90% supported the rebuilding of the city and chose the option of rebuilding on the original site of the city.
The people support the reconstruction of the city. This is of course what Chen Xin expected. After all, people in Yan country have said that some people have left their hometowns since ancient times. Although immigrants can be resettled to safer places, they are always far away from their hometowns. , turned into rootless duckweed.
If there is really no other way, 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 at all by the results of the opinion poll. The only thing that surprised him was that 90% of the people supported rebuilding this section of the city on the original site.
This was indeed beyond Chen Xin¡¯s expectations.
???????????????? Especially under this item there is a special note, which was written by hand, and this sentence also made Chen Xin feel deeply shocked.
This sentence is written very simply, but when Chen Xin read it, he felt that every word was more and more important.
¡°All the people of our city express their acceptance and understanding of the damage to the remains of the victims caused during the reconstruction work.¡±
??This short sentence seems very simple at first glance, and the meaning is expressed very clearly, without any misunderstanding or ambiguity.
But the more this happens, the more you can feel the weight behind this sentence.
It was not one or two bodies, nor was it the simple consent of one or two people, but the remains of one hundred thousand victims and two hundred thousand survivors who had suffered the pain of losing their loved ones, made by enduring great sadness and sorrow. Tough and great choices.
The choice they made gave up the remains of their loved ones. They not only gave up the collection of the remains of their loved ones, but also the preservation of the integrity of their bodies after death.
Life and death are important matters. In the Yan Kingdom, whether the deceased can obtain peace after death is a matter of great importance.
In the traditional culture of the Yan Kingdom, the afterlife of the deceased is very particular. Not only must the deceased be as dead as alive, but they must also be very particular about whether the deceased's body is intact and whether it can be buried in the earth.
If the deceased cannot be buried in peace, or the body is incomplete when buried, it means that the soul of the deceased cannot rest in peace, and will sink into the world forever and suffer misery.
This is a very taboo thing in the traditional culture of the Yan Kingdom. Even though some feudal bad habits have been abandoned in modern society, the grief and respect for deceased relatives still make the Yan Kingdom people attach great importance to the peace of the deceased after death.
Even in modern society, it is still a very taboo thing to not collect the body of the deceased, but to leave it exposed in the wilderness, and to damage the body, 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 did not dare to think about how these survivors who had endured the pain of losing their homes and relatives made such a decision, and what kind of sacrifices this decision represented.
Although the living are more important than the dead, in the current environment and situation, keeping more people alive is the most important thing.
But the deceased is not just a cold corpse.
Not long ago, they were still living people and were our most important relatives and friends. Now that they have passed away, this in itself is a huge blow to the living and an unbearable emotional pain.
Now not only can their remains not be collected, but the ruins where their remains are buried must also be destroyed.Rebuilding their homes on the ruins and bulldozing the ruins where their bodies were buried, leaving their bodies incomplete and unable to be buried in peace, is not something that can be easily accepted emotionally or ethically.
In fact, even if everyone is opposed to bulldozing the ruins, Chen Xin thinks it is understandable.
But now, the choice of 200,000 people has been placed in front of him, and they have chosen the most painful option for themselves.
Chen Xin felt that his heart was very heavy. He bit his lip, put down the opinion poll report in his hand, pinched the bridge of his nose, and then picked up the letter that was sent with the opinion poll report.
Although he didn¡¯t know who wrote the letter and what was written in the letter, Chen Xin felt that it should have the answer he wanted.
With a sense of awe, Chen Xin unfolded the letter and read it.
The letter was written on a piece of white paper. It could be seen 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, only a few lines.
¡°The earthquake took away our relatives and friends, and their bodies were buried under the rubble and could not be collected. This is indeed a very painful thing.¡±
"But the deceased is gone. Although it is very difficult and painful to make such a decision, I am still willing to agree with the city government's decision to bulldoze the ruins and rebuild homes."
¡°Although there are still the remains of my family members under the rubble, the living are more important than the dead.¡±
¡°Only by rebuilding their homes can more people survive.¡±
¡°It is really unacceptable to bulldoze the ruins and destroy the remains.¡±
"My family has left me forever. This is indeed very sad and painful, but I cannot 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 ruins, please regard my body as the cornerstone of my new home. This is the only strength I can contribute."
"I have no hope when I die. People who are alive, please take my share of the future and build a new home." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
