Chapter 275 Post-disaster reconstruction and commendation of the returning troops!
After arriving at the worst-hit areas, Qi Tongwei's heart suddenly tightened when he saw the tragic scene before him.
The collapsed houses and broken walls scattered everywhere seemed to silently tell the cruelty of the disaster.
Floating debris rises and falls in the turbid flood water, like a desperate signal for help.
The terrified people trapped in the flood, some clung to tree trunks, some stood on the roofs and shouted helplessly. These scenes were like sharp blades, piercing his heart.
But he did not hesitate at all, and immediately shouted loudly to direct the rescue: "Don't panic, everyone! The police are here, we will definitely rescue you!"
His voice was as loud as a bell, piercing through the howling of wind and rain, breaking through the roar of the flood, and reaching every person affected by the disaster.
He personally led the commando team, driving a speedboat, and shuttled through the turbulent flood.
The flood was like a raging dragon, opening its bloody mouth again and again, trying to overturn the speedboat.
But Qi Tongwei firmly controlled the direction with his superb driving skills and fearless courage.
Whenever he found people trapped, he was always the first to rush forward, regardless of his own safety.
The old man, his trembling, frightened body, was carefully carried onto the speedboat.
The child, the young life whose cries were drowned out by the wind and rain, was gently carried to a safe place.
The woman, with tears in her eyes and a face full of despair, was safely escorted into the boat.
His police uniform had long been soaked by rain and sweat, sticking tightly to his body, outlining his tired yet determined figure.
His face was covered in mud and his hair was messy and stuck to his forehead, but in the eyes of the people, he was the most reliable guardian angel.
Once, they met an old man who was trapped on the second-floor balcony. As the flood level continued to rise, the old man was in danger of being drowned at any time.
Seeing this, Qi Tongwei climbed up the shaky stairs without hesitation. The stairs made a heart-wrenching creaking sound under the impact of the flood.
With the help of teammates, the old man was safely transferred to the speedboat.
The old man held his hand tightly, tears welling up in his eyes: "Thank you, Director, you are our lifesaver!"
Qi Tongwei just smiled and comforted him: "Uncle, don't be afraid, we are here, you will be fine."
At that moment, his smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, dispelling the fear in the old man's heart and warming the hearts of those around him.
During the days and nights of flood prevention and disaster relief, Qi Tongwei hardly slept a wink.
He rushed to various disaster-stricken areas, from the east to the west of the city, from the south to the north of the city, without stopping.
Coordinate relief supplies, communicate with all parties, and race against time to ensure that supplies arrive in time.
Directing the rescue work, shouting loudly and making precise arrangements on the embankment and in the ruins.
When he was tired, he would just take a nap on the embankment, but he had no complaints about the hard ground.
When he was hungry, he would just eat some dry food, and he didn't care about the dry taste.
His eyes were bloodshot, like spider webs, and filled with fatigue.
His voice also became hoarse, and every word he spoke seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat.
But his spirit remained high, like a burning torch, illuminating the road to disaster relief.
As the flood gradually recedes, the rescue work has entered the most critical stage - post-disaster reconstruction.
Qi Tongwei knows very well that this is a tough race against time, which is related to whether the people can regain their confidence in life and whether Jingzhou can restore its former vitality.
He immediately convened experts, technicians and heads of relevant departments to hold an emergency meeting.
The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn. Everyone sat around, their eyes focused on Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei said with a firm look: "This flood has brought heavy damage to Jingzhou, but we must not be defeated by difficulties.
We must get people's lives back on track at the fastest speed and with the highest quality, and bring new vitality to Jingzhou!"
His words were powerful, like the sound of a heavy hammer, making everyone present feel the heavy responsibility and determination.
In terms of housing reconstruction, Qi Tongwei personally went deep into the communities and villages affected by the disaster and conducted door-to-door visits and investigations.
Go into each dilapidated house, check the cracks in the walls, and record the damage to the roof.
Together with construction experts, he developed a scientific and reasonable housing reconstruction plan based on the local terrain, geological conditions and the actual needs of the people.
In order to ensure the quality and progress of the reconstruction project, he stayed at the construction site day and night, supervising the construction workers to strictly follow the standards.
He would bend over every brick and stone to check to ensure it was flat and stable.
He would look up and inspect every beam and pillar to ensure they were solid and reliable.
Once a problem is discovered, immediate rectification is required, with a stern voice and no room for questioning.
In terms of infrastructure repair, Qi Tongwei coordinated multiple departments such as electricity, water supply, and communications to form a joint repair team, racing against time to restore the city's "lifeline."
He personally participated in the emergency repair work, carrying cables with the workers. The heavy cables left red marks on his shoulders.
Carrying equipment, they struggled forward in the mud, their clothes soaked with sweat.
While repairing roads damaged by floods, he directed the operation of large machinery with powerful gestures and clear instructions.
At the same time, personnel were arranged to clean up the silt and debris on both sides of the road to ensure that the road was unobstructed.
After several days and nights of hard work, Jingzhou's electricity, water supply and communications gradually returned to normal.
The city lights lit up again, and the bright light dispelled the darkness.
Clear water flows from the faucet again, and the sound of flowing water plays the melody of hope.
Mobile phone signals are also fully covered, allowing people to reconnect with the outside world.
People's lives gradually returned to convenience, and long-lost smiles appeared on their faces.
In order to help the affected enterprises resume work and production as soon as possible, Qi Tongwei took the initiative to provide door-to-door services and visited each company one by one.
Understand the disaster situation of the enterprise, check the flooded factory buildings, and count the damaged equipment.
Understand the difficulties faced by enterprises, listen to the demands for funding shortages, and record technical difficulties.
He actively coordinated with financial institutions to provide low-interest loans to enterprises to alleviate financial pressure.
Organize professional and technical personnel to provide equipment maintenance, technical guidance and other support to enterprises.
The boss of a severely affected manufacturing company said with emotion: "If it weren't for Director Qi's help, we really don't know when we can resume work. He is really a lucky star for our business community!"
Thanks to Qi Tongwei's efforts, enterprises in Jingzhou have resumed work and production one after another, and the roar of machines can be heard again.
The economy began to recover, the city was full of vitality again, and the streets and alleys were filled with fireworks.
After months of hard fighting, Jingzhou finally gradually regained its former vitality.
The streets were cleaned and the road surface was tidy without a trace of mud or debris.
The house has been newly renovated, with new walls and bright windows, exuding warmth.
People's lives are gradually getting back on track, the markets are becoming bustling, and the campuses are filled with the sound of reading.
In this flood fighting and disaster relief battle, Qi Tongwei won the hearts of the people with his bravery, fearlessness and perseverance, and his image in people's minds has undergone a drastic change.
Jingzhou City held a grand commendation meeting to commemorate the heroes who stood up during the disaster, and Qi Tongwei was undoubtedly the brightest star among them.
On the day of the commendation meeting, the square in the center of Jingzhou city was decorated with exceptional solemnity.
Colorful flags were neatly arranged along the border of the square, fluttering in the breeze, as if telling the hardships and victories of the disaster relief effort.
Flowers clustered into a sea, with morning dew hanging on the colorful petals, crystal clear and exuding a fresh fragrance. They were the spontaneous offerings of the citizens to express their deep gratitude to the heroes.
People came from all corners of the city, including white-haired old people, supporting each other, their eyes full of joy for the city's rebirth.
There were young and strong guys, dressed in neat clothes, waving small national flags in their hands, their faces filled with excitement and pride.
There were also innocent children riding on their parents' shoulders, looking around curiously, as if they wanted to imprint this glorious moment deeply in their young hearts.
The entire square was crowded but orderly, with everyone waiting quietly to witness the hero's highlight moment.
Qi Tongwei was wearing a brand new and neat police uniform, and every wrinkle on the uniform seemed to carry the memory of his hard work on the front line of flood control.
His chest is covered with medals, which sparkle in the sunlight, shining with the light of a brave man.
He walked towards the podium with vigorous and powerful steps, his posture as tall as a pine tree and his steps as steady as mountains.
The legs that had once been soaked in floods and trudged through mud now took every step with great force, as if announcing to the world that this victory was hard-won.
His gaze was firm and deep. He looked through the crowd and into the distance, where was the land of Jingzhou that had been reborn after the disaster. There was relief in his eyes, as well as responsibility and commitment to the future.
When the host held the microphone and read out the commendation decision in an impassioned voice, and praised Qi Tongwei for his outstanding performance in flood control and disaster relief, the square was instantly filled with thunderous applause.
The applause was like a surging tide, one wave after another, lasting for a long time. It was the gratitude and respect that burst out from the bottom of the people's hearts.
It broke through the clouds and echoed in the sky above Jingzhou City, announcing the hero's achievements to everyone.
An old lady with gray hair and a hunched body, supported by her family, staggered through the crowd and walked slowly towards the podium.
In her hands she held a bouquet of flowers that she had carefully grown at home. The flowers were not expensive, but they were filled with the most simple emotions.
The old lady walked up to Qi Tongwei, raised her wrinkled hands, and gently stroked the medals, tears flashing in her eyes: "Director, thanks to you, our family can be saved. I picked these flowers early in the morning, representing the thoughts of our whole family, you must accept them."
Upon seeing this, Qi Tongwei's eyes instantly became moist. He bent down slightly and solemnly took the flowers, as if he was taking over an invaluable piece of innocent heart.
He held the old lady's hand tightly, his voice choking with sobs: "Grandma, this is what I should do. It is my duty to protect everyone! Don't worry, Jingzhou will only get better and better in the days to come!"
At that moment, his smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, dispelling the fear and gloom in the old lady's heart, and warming the hearts of everyone present.
Officials from all over the country who were present were also deeply touched. They all looked at Qi Tongwei with admiration, their eyes filled with self-reflection and respect.
Gao Yuliang, a leader who has been up and down in officialdom for many years and has always been known for his calmness, restraint and deep understanding of the ways of being an official, was standing in the audience at this moment, looking at Qi Tongwei on the podium. His heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
All the past events flashed through his mind like a kaleidoscope. All the misunderstandings and prejudices against Qi Tongwei turned into deep guilt at this moment.
During this flood, Qi Tongwei rushed forward regardless of his personal safety, and his spirit of selfless dedication and selflessness completely shattered the barrier in his heart.
He saw a soul that was purely devoted to the people, and that light made him feel ashamed of himself.
Gao Yuliang secretly made up his mind that from now on, he would abandon the twists and turns and selfish thoughts in officialdom, take Qi Tongwei as a role model, put the welfare of the people first, serve the people wholeheartedly, and redeem the direction he had once lost with practical actions.
Sun Liancheng, the official who was once controversial for his "muddling through" and belief in "the more you do, the more mistakes you make, the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make", now seemed to be illuminated by a strong light that penetrated deep into his heart, dispelling the haze that had shrouded him for a long time.
He looked at Qi Tongwei, and the scene of himself wasting time in the office and being perfunctory in dealing with the people's demands emerged in his mind, and his face felt hot.
He took a deep breath, walked through the crowd, and came to Qi Tongwei. He stretched out his slightly trembling hand and shook it sincerely: "Director Qi, I am convinced. Your spirit is so admirable. Compared with you, my past actions are simply shameful. I will definitely change in the future, work hard for the people, and never waste my life again!"
Qi Tongwei's eyes were full of encouragement. He smiled and patted Sun Liancheng on the shoulder: "Director Sun, no one is perfect. As long as we wake up now and work together in the future, we will definitely create a better life for the people."
Sha Ruijin, the top leader who controls the overall situation in Jingzhou, sat on the rostrum, his eyes fixed on Qi Tongwei the whole time, with admiration and satisfaction in his eyes beyond words.
Once, due to some rumors and one-sided words, he had some prejudice against Qi Tongwei. However, under the test of this flood, Qi Tongwei proved his responsibility and ability with his iron-like actions, and all misunderstandings disappeared.
Sha Ruijin knows very well that as a leader, one cannot jump to conclusions based on just a few words. The real hero is the person who holds up the sky with his back in times of crisis.
After the commendation meeting, Sha Ruijin went to find Qi Tongwei, strode forward, and shook his hand tightly. The strength of the handshake seemed to convey endless trust: "Tongwei, you did a great job this time. I thank you on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, and I thank you on behalf of the people. I had some misunderstandings about you in the past, I hope you don't take it to heart. In the future, the development of Jingzhou still depends on comrades like you who are motivated and responsible, so go ahead and do it!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei's voice trembled with excitement: "Secretary Sha, you are too kind. I am just doing my job. Thank you for your trust, I will live up to your expectations!"
From this moment on, Sha Ruijin clearly allocated resources and provided support to Qi Tongwei, opening up a broader space for him to develop in his subsequent work.
Not only did the local officials in Jingzhou admire Qi Tongwei, but the leaders and people in surrounding cities such as Lincheng also extended a helping hand and gave strong support after hearing about Qi Tongwei's deeds.
Mayor Lin personally led a support team consisting of professional technicians and volunteers to Jingzhou.
They brought with them a large amount of advanced construction equipment, disaster relief supplies and rich experience in post-disaster reconstruction.
Mayor Lincheng shook Qi Tongwei's hand and said, "Director Qi, you Jingzhou have suffered a lot. We Lincheng and Jingzhou are closely related. We are here to lend a helping hand this time. I hope we can be of help."
Qi Tongwei was deeply moved and thanked them repeatedly: "Thank you so much, your arrival is really a timely help, and the people of Jingzhou will never forget this friendship."
The people of Lincheng also spontaneously organized themselves and donated money and supplies.
They packed up their homes' clothes, quilts, food and other daily necessities and transported them to Jingzhou through various channels.
A primary school student from Lincheng used his saved pocket money to buy a large bag of stationery and attached a note: "My friends from Jingzhou, I hope you can return to school soon and study hard."
These loving materials from Lincheng, like trickles of water, have gathered into a powerful force, warming the hearts of the people of Jingzhou and making Qi Tongwei more confident in rebuilding his homeland.
The soldiers lined up neatly on one side of the venue. They stood tall and straight, their uniforms neatly straightened, their eyes full of respect and admiration for Qi Tongwei, the director of the Public Security Department.
During those thrilling days of flood control and disaster relief, Qi Tongwei fought side by side with them, sharing the joys and sorrows.
On the assault boat, he steered the helm steadily, leading the soldiers through the stormy seas;
Amid the ruins, he led the way, carrying sandbags with the soldiers and rebuilding their homes.
His military qualities, courageous command and indomitable fighting spirit are deeply imprinted in the hearts of the soldiers.
At this moment, in the military formation of the commendation meeting, the soldiers saluted Qi Tongwei in unison, and the loud slogan was: "Learn from Director Qi and serve the people!"
Like the sound of a huge bell, it echoed over the square for a long time, and every note was filled with their heartfelt support and deep respect for Qi Tongwei.
This commendation meeting is not only a recognition of Qi Tongwei's flood-fighting achievements, but also a baptism of the soul, allowing every witness to re-examine their own responsibilities and obligations.
Qi Tongwei is about to embark on a new journey with this honor and everyone's expectations. Jingzhou, in this disaster and rebirth, has fostered a stronger cohesion and is marching forward courageously towards a bright future.
