Rebirth in 1976 begins with educated youth

Chapter 365 About Migrant Workers [0:5 minutes ago…

Over the years, countless facts in the officialdom have made Zhou Haiyang learn to be calm and think.

He constantly admonished and reminded himself:

No matter what happens, you must never be as impulsive as you were when you were young.

In the real officialdom, many things are not as simple as initially imagined. It is not enough to just have a passion and lofty ideals.

Life is complicated and there are no absolute truths.

There are some things that cannot be done.

Some things have to be done.

For the sake of ambitious goals, you can give up some short-term benefits.

As long as the position and power remain, there will be room for maneuver and a chance for a comeback.

But now that I'm here, I will never give up until I accomplish something according to my own wishes.

I, Zhou Haiyang, have to do things that others cannot and cannot do. I come prepared and will never fail.

Every year after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it is the peak period for a large number of migrant workers in Yongliang to go out to work.

These days, Yongliang’s railway station and long-distance bus station are overcrowded from morning to night.

In daily reports, newspapers and TV stations will announce the number of tens of thousands of passengers sent to train stations and bus stations today.

Looking at the scene on TV, it was really a sea of ​​people.

The small station square was crowded with people.Some brought their families with them, and the whole family went out.

Most of them are young and middle-aged workers, carrying simple luggage alone, wandering around the square, waiting anxiously for vehicles.

Yongliang Railway Station is not a big station, and only a few trains pass by it every day.

The departing train is only a short distance. It takes the passengers to the train station in the provincial capital and drops them off.

Despite this situation, the station was still as crowded as a can of sardines.

Trains are relatively better, but the most important thing is cars.

Because it can be driven point-to-point, Yongliang migrant workers who go out to work prefer taking cars or chartered cars.

In most cases, the contractor first finds the car and buys the tickets for the migrant workers.

After arriving at the destination and doing the work, the travel expenses will be deducted from the salary.

In order to save money and make more money, almost every car is trying its best to cram people into the car like piglets, overloading it to an unimaginable level.

The car was originally approved to carry 45 people, but it actually took more than 100 people.

People were so crowded that their fronts were pressed against their backs, making it impossible to even move.

Each vehicle usually has two drivers, who take turns driving.

People do not take a break, just like this, running hundreds of kilometers or even dry kilometers, there are many safety risks.

As long as nothing happens, if something happens, it will be a matter of life and death.

Zhou Haiyang remembered that there had been a major car accident in Yongliang a few years ago.

A long-distance bus departing from Yongliang was severely overloaded, causing brake failure on the highway.

The driver, who had been driving tired for a long time, made a mistake in judgment, hit the isolation barrier, and violently collided with a large truck driving on the road.

After the bus was knocked out, it rushed down a viaduct more than ten meters high and rolled to the point where it almost disintegrated.

There were more than 80 passengers in the car, including the driver. More than 40 people died and more than 30 people were seriously injured. It was classified as a major traffic accident in the country that year.

For this reason, Yongliang Mayor Liao Mingyu was punished with a major demerit, the Yongliang City Transportation Director was dismissed, and the Yongliang Bus Station Director was criminally detained.

Since then, governments at all levels in Yongliang have treated the travel of migrant workers as a major matter.

A mechanism has been formed in which the transportation department takes the lead, the labor, public security, and health departments cooperate, and the whole society focuses on public management and closely cooperates.

To ensure that no one is killed and no major safety accident occurs.

In the second year after Zhou Haiyang took office, the transportation department held a Spring Festival transportation work meeting, which he personally attended.

At the meeting, he called on everyone to raise awareness and formulate practical and reasonable systems to prevent fatigue driving and overloading.

For those who do not comply with discipline, the driver's driving license will be revoked, the vehicle's operating route will be revoked, and the market will be completely cleared.

Zhou Haiyang said: “Developing the migrant economy will be the central task of our Yongliang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government for a long time to come.

Yongliang's economy is still very backward, and we currently do not have the ability to absorb so many laborers for local employment.

The wealthy labor force can only be allowed to work in the eastern region and developed coastal areas and receive advanced technical training.

On the one hand, it can improve the income level of rural farmers and help them get rid of poverty and become rich as soon as possible.

On the other hand, we can also bring technologies and concepts from advanced areas back to our Yongliang to promote the development of Yongliang.

We must look at the problem of one million migrant workers from a strategic and overall perspective.

Not only must the farmer brothers leave, but they must leave well.We also need to ensure that they are safe, comfortable and assured.

Go out happily, make money happily, and have no worries. "

Zhou Haiyang knew in his heart that he was just talking.

In fact, things are not that simple.

Nowadays, migrant workers leave their homes to work in Qianli and leave as soon as they say they can.

Throughout the year, some are able to go home once, while some are not able to even go home.

Those left at home are the elderly, young children, and a wife whom they have not been able to see for many years.

A family was torn apart in order to survive simply.

The husband no longer has his wife, the children no longer have their father, and the old man no longer has his children.

Let’s not talk about being alone in pain and loneliness when you go out.

If you encounter someone with a headache and fever, and there is not even a family member around you, it will be indescribably miserable.

The most difficult thing is that the labor of young adults is between the ages of 20 and 50, which is the period in a man's life when sexual activity is the most intense and the needs are greatest.

But in order to survive, to make more money for poor families.

In order to enable the elderly to afford medical treatment, the wife can buy an extra piece of new clothes, and the children can continue to go to school.

They had to leave their wives and children, go far away, and endure the suffering and torture of life alone.

There is no way to make detailed statistics on how many migrant workers there are in the country.

But Zhou Haiyang knows that among the 8 million farmers, at least 2 to 3 million are migrant workers, which is basically close to the truth.

Take a look at the annual Spring Festival travel rush, which is internationally called "the largest migration in human history." You will see how huge this number is.

What is life like in this group?

What do they need to be most concerned about?

What are they most worried about?

This has always been an issue that Zhou Haiyang had to worry about after coming to Yongliang.

He saw a study by a scholar and found that the issues that migrant workers are most concerned about include the following:

Can part-time wages be paid on time and are they not in arrears?

When a work-related accident occurs, is there any compensation and can I afford medical treatment?

Can the child's schooling be solved?

Can the couple reunite and live a normal married life like people in the city?

Zhou Haiyang read this report and was full of gratitude and admiration for the experts who had the courage to engage in this research.

This is what a scholar should do. It is much better than those who have nothing to do and publish bullshit theories to fool the people.
