Chapter 432: Battle of Public Opinion(1/3)

The second grade brother was very angry.

When others see this notice, they may not take it seriously. At most, they complain that the superior is raping public opinion and destroying customs. The smarter people will guess that the superior has invented another way to make money, but this is

In Gao Qiang's eyes, the connotation was much deeper. You must know that Mr. Gao had just visited the graves of his ancestors and had only returned to Beijing for a few days. Such an incident happened in Shannan Province, which made people think too much!

As expected, the forced cremation incident soon became a commotion.

That day's Shannan Daily first published an article, which was short but passionate, citing examples of the dangers of burial. If there are more than one billion people in the country, if everyone dies is buried in a grave, then in a few years, the fertile land will be destroyed.

Everything will be turned into a cemetery, so I strongly request cremation. No matter if you weigh more than 100 kilograms or more than 200 kilograms, after burning, only a small urn can hold it...

That night, the Shannan Focus column aired a special topic on the extravagant expenses of funerals. It deeply discussed that with the reform and opening up, people's living standards are improving day by day, and funerals are getting bigger and bigger. Not to mention the noisy city people, big cars and small cars.

The traffic is blocked, and the rural areas are even more unsettled for several days with the suona team playing and playing, and eating and drinking on running water mats is a waste of money and resources, which has a bad impact on the surrounding environment... b Time Travel Novel: b

The next day, major newspapers in Shannan began to launch a full-scale campaign, using vivid examples to discuss that cremation is an inevitable trend of social development, frugal funerals, and frugal wedding banquets will be the fashion of the future. Echoing the notice issued by the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, the vigorous momentum is good

Lively and comprehensive cremation is the general trend. Anyone who dares to obstruct or respond passively is a public enemy...

After several days of turmoil, the top and bottom minds quickly unified. No matter what the people thought, civil affairs at all levels began to strictly implement the instructions from their superiors. The municipal crematoriums were busy expanding, and the county level unexpectedly received emergency funding from their superiors.

, the construction of crematoriums and public cemeteries was also required to be completed within a time limit. At the same time, the provincial government held a meeting and the city held a meeting. After the city held a meeting, the county held a meeting. After the county held a meeting, it organized personnel to start visiting every village, and issued a notice and mandatory order.

From now on, everyone who dies will have to go to the crematorium. If someone in that village secretly buries it, digs it out and burns it, the village chief's bonus will be deducted and the prisoner's hat will be removed...

The superiors suppressed the subordinates, and one level suppressed the other. In less than half a month, a vigorous forced cremation movement was launched!

But there are not many people who can really understand this matter, and the few who can understand this matter are all kind-hearted but stern!

It is said that all parts of the country have received notices from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but other provinces and cities just quietly require all districts and counties to have a crematorium. Only Shannan Province requires cremation for all people.

It is said that all cities in Shannan Province have issued notices from the province, but most places just turn a blind eye to secret burials. The only ones who really demand zero burials and dismissal from office if they fail to complete the task are

There is Yunan City!

It is said that Guo Jinqiu, secretary of the Yunan Municipal Party Committee, was praised by Secretary Li in public for his meritorious service in strictly implementing the orders of his superiors. Subsequently, the provincial newspaper published another article, but it was after investigation and research by relevant experts that they gave an

The data on the total area of ​​graves in the province are astonishingly huge. They even clamored that the dead people buried in the ground caused serious damage to the soil, and called on the province to order the graves to be leveled for the sake of future generations!

It is said that news came that an old man in the capital was angry, but he had nowhere to vent his anger. He was so angry that he stayed in bed for half a month...

The second brother Gao came to Beijing, and first went to visit Mr. Gao. Mr. Gao was really angry, but his health was not serious. The second brother Gao took his grandfather and chatted for a long time, but the matter of cremation and tomb leveling was brought up.

I didn't mention it at all, I just chatted with the old man about the family affairs, and waited until the uncle came back in the evening and started to murmur again.

The discussion lasted until about ten o'clock in the middle of the night, but Brother Gao didn't stay at the Xishan Villa. He quietly ran to a hotel and had a tryst with Sister Yi, who had returned to Beijing the day before. Naturally, there was a lot of trouble. At dawn, he and Sister Yi reluctantly parted ways.

, went straight to the courtyard house I bought in Beijing.

The courtyard was busy with renovations. Brother Gao was not short of money this time. He went to Las Vegas and made a profit of one or two billion. He left half of it for Han Yi's busy company and the rest.

I left everything to Gu Jianying and asked him to help take care of the decoration of the house.

In the huge courtyard, dozens of decoration workers and ancient building restoration teams have restored the front and middle courtyards to the retro style according to the requirements of Brother Gao. Everything is original. When you enter, you feel like you have traveled through time. It is just a light bulb.

Candlesticks and lanterns are made of hidden wires, and the courtyards on both sides and the backyard are modernly decorated. Once you enter the house, you feel like you have entered a unit. It is clean and simple, with sofas, telephones, LCD TVs, bathrooms, etc. all in the room.

The wing room on one side of the courtyard has also been converted into a garage, which is convenient and safe for entry and exit. Gu Jianying was very happy when she saw it. She only regretted that she would have bought a house to live in if she had known this. Unfortunately, this courtyard house is not that easy to buy.

It's only been a year since I arrived. One square meter has already increased by a thousand dollars, let alone one as big as Brother Gao. I'm afraid there won't be many units available in the whole capital, and no one who lives there will be willing to sell it.

The second brother Gao casually took a look at the decoration effect and went straight into the backyard. The decoration was started here first, and now the project has been basically completed. The second brother Gao sat on the big sofa and greeted brother Gu Jianying and chatted for a long time.

After waiting for half an hour, I heard someone shouting outside the door, but it was Mr. Han Yihan who arrived.

Miss Han is now a very distinguished eldest sister among a group of children. She is in charge of several major businesses of Qiangfei Company, but she does not have everything covered. The two following her are Gao Wenting, a powerful eldest sister, and Qu

Xinyu's sister, Qu Xuan, has now resigned from her official position and followed her to the sea. They help Han Yi share several domestic businesses. After more than half a year of training, she is basically in charge of her own business.

"Haha. Boss Gao has really made a fortune. Look at the place where he lives. It's much better than the old man's place." Han Yi said with a smile, and quickly rolled her eyes at Brother Gao without any emotion. But there was such tenderness in his eyes.

How could I hide my affection from my second brother Gao?

Brother Gao Er chuckled and said: "How can we compare? The old man has guards and medical staff there, and central leaders come to say hello every now and then. Can we, a nouveau riche, compare?"

Everyone laughed. Gao Wenting and Qu Xuan also praised the beautiful house. Naturally, Brother Gao immediately invited him: "The place is big and there are many houses. I don't often stay in the capital. If you like it, you can come and stay."

Gu Jianxiong, who was in charge of the decoration supervision, smiled and said: "I have already moved in..." b Time Travel Novel: b

Everyone responded with a roar, and the three beauties all made reservations to come and stay for two days after the decoration was completed. After a while, everyone sat down on the sofa. After adjusting their mood, they talked about business.

The six of them muttered for a long time until they had dinner together again at noon.

I was thinking of going to Xinsiyu Film and Television Company in the afternoon, but I didn’t know that I received a call from the district while eating. I couldn’t explain the hotel. Brother Gao asked Gu Jianying to take him to the airport, and returned to Yunan that day...

It was calm for several days.

Compulsory cremation is being implemented in an orderly manner. Crematoria have been built in various provinces, cities and counties one after another. Many places have officially begun to implement provincial regulations. Compulsory cremation is proceeding quite smoothly in cities. Most urban residents do not have cemeteries at all.

You said buying a cemetery to bury people. That’s not a question of money. The key is that a cemetery is different from other things. Who among Chinese people who pay attention to Feng Shui would be willing to bury unrelated people in their own village?

Besides, encouraging cremation has been implemented for decades, and urban residents are quite tolerant of whether it is compulsory or not.

However, this matter is not easy to handle in rural areas. The traditional concept of burial has lasted for thousands of years. When you think of cremation, you think of the term "crushing ashes" to express hatred. Who would want to let their parents and elders

How to store the bones? The most critical issue is that cremation charges a fee. It costs several hundred to burn an individual. It is also compulsory to buy an urn. The cheapest one costs three to five hundred. There is only one crematorium in the county.

, dragged her for dozens of miles, and relatives and neighbors at home had to go with them. Chartering a car for this round trip cost hundreds of dollars. Then to take the urn home, you had to dig a hole and buy a coffin.

Burying a person simply requires an additional cremation procedure, which costs several thousand dollars. For rural people who depend on the weather for food, this huge expenditure is not a small sum.

Therefore, the custom in rural areas of Yunan is to hold funerals in the morning, but now all funerals are secretly buried at night, without blowing the trumpet or setting off cannons. As soon as relatives and neighbors are notified, the deceased will be buried on the same day. The provincial civil affairs people find out and they will forcefully arrest the person.

He went to the crematorium so much that the children of those whose family members were working outside the country couldn't wait to come back. This caused outrage and resentment, and the Civil Affairs Bureau became the target of everyone's reviling.

The Civil Affairs Bureau does not have enough manpower, how can it guard so many rural areas? It is no wonder that there are frequent recruitments. Temporary workers are recruited to form a commando team, and they go to the countryside to see where there are dead people. In addition, there are rewards for reporting people. Reporting someone is dead.

The bonus for burial is 200 yuan. As expected, a lot of information has been collected. In order to control the situation, some people braved the public anger to dig up the grave and dig up the grave. They took it to the crematorium and burned it to ashes again. The ashes will not be given to your family. You have to

After paying the cremation fee and the fine of 3,500 for the urn, it will be returned to you for reburial.

The people are angry, but they can only hold it in. This is an eternal truth that the people do not fight with the officials. Even if they faint from anger, they can only borrow money and pay fines in tears - although people are burned to ashes, they cannot give up.

The ashes have to be buried in the soil and a monument built. It’s always a thought.

More than a month after the policy was implemented, everything seems to be going smoothly, and the forced cremation has basically been successful. Although there is some public outrage, the overall situation is that everything is stable. Some people in the province are complacent and have begun to publicly solicit public opinion on whether the peace process should be carried out again.

grave movement.

The matter of soliciting public opinion set off a wave of public opinion in newspapers and media. Several experts jumped out and talked about the impact of abundant burials on social progress. They predicted that if burials were not banned, in a few years our province would have available arable land and hundreds of millions of people would be hungry.

What?

After several days of clamoring, it seemed that the general trend was to level the tomb. From the provincial party committee to the common people, everyone was united in thinking that this matter should be feasible. The Provincial Department of Civil Affairs announced that a public vote of experts and mass representatives would be held in three days, but everyone knew it.

This kind of thing is just a formality, just like soliciting public opinions on whether electricity bills should be increased or food prices should be increased. All experts are paid. Mass representatives also have subsidies. If you agree, you agree. If you disagree, it doesn't matter.

If you don't agree, the voting result must be that the majority agrees, and a small number of people have reservations, making it look like it is true.

Just when I thought the grave-leveling movement was about to take place, a sudden news shocked the upper management - someone was dead!
