Peng Geng, secretary of the Northwest Provincial Party Committee, is critically ill.
It turned out that Peng Geng's secretary was only infected with the upper respiratory tract. Under today's medical conditions, this disease is insignificant, and it can be effectively treated in any medical institution in urban and rural areas and will recover soon.
However, the nurse accidentally used the wrong medicine when infusion was given to Secretary Peng Geng. As a result, Secretary Peng Geng, who was already suffering from various senile diseases and was in poor health, suffered from a sharp decline in his condition and continued to have a high fever.
The situation is very serious.
As the secretary of provincial party secretary Peng Geng, I was stunned by this sudden change, very anxious and at a loss.
This really shouldn't happen. Because the first hospital of western medicine is the hospital with the best medical conditions in the province. The Gao Qian Clinic here specializes in leading health care for a province in northwest China. The medical equipment and medical staff are first-class. Peng Geng, the current secretary of the provincial party Committee, should strive for perfection in medical care and be foolproof. Who would have thought that thousands of things that should not have happened have finally happened.
The quiet yard of Gao Qian Clinic of the First Affiliated Hospital of Western Medicine is full of small vehicles. The whole area is sealed off. Important positions such as access control, stairs and corridors have been guarded by emergency armed police soldiers. Knowing that Secretary Peng Geng was critically ill, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial People's Congress, the main leaders of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference, the heads of major military regions, the leaders of the provincial military regions, the provincial security department, the public security department and the health department all arrived here. The atmosphere at the scene was tense and heavy.
In the ward, the emergency medical experts in the province are still studying the rescue plan, and the medical staff are also nervously implementing the doctor's orders and taking various measures to control the continued development of Peng Geng's condition.
Outside the ward and in the spacious living room, the leaders waited anxiously for the news.
I can feel the concern of Ocean Lu, secretary of Governor Chengyuan. Although, for all this sudden, he showed a standard calm, even indifference. However, I know very well that as my friend, his heart is equally uneasy.
Governor Cheng sat on a white couch in the middle of Fiona Fang. I found that at the moment, he was lost in thought. As far as I know, Governor Cheng didn't smoke much at first, but today, in a short time, he has smoked up half a box of Chinese cigarettes in Luyang.
Among the provincial leaders waiting here, Governor Cheng Yuan is undoubtedly the highest position. I can imagine that his mood must be the most complicated at the moment.
In the officialdom of Northwest Province, it is an open secret that Governor Cheng has a bad relationship with Provincial Party Secretary Peng Geng. Privately, some people divide leading cadres at or above the city level in the province into "Peng School" and "Cheng School". According to personal standards, the number of "Chengpai" is naturally large and powerful; Peng Pai is relatively weak. One of the most important reasons for this is that Peng Geng, a secretary, is a cadre sent by the central government and a foreigner. He has only been in charge of the northwest province for about two years. However, Governor Chengyuan is a native of the local people. He has been leading the commune, county and city, and has been sitting in the position of a province. This domineering governor has worked in the northwest province for too long and has a long history of operation, forming a huge network from top to bottom. It's really intertwined and ingrained.
Governor Cheng was born in the northwest mountainous area, and his parents died early. That small county town, which is always dry and short of water, has an incredible name: Shuicheng County. Although I have never been there, I have heard some stories about Shuicheng County and water. Legend has it that many years ago, Shuicheng County was a famous water town Zeguo in the northwest. But later, I don't know why, Shuicheng County seems to have broken the fate with water.
In some rural areas there, you can often see groups of animals carrying water, and groups of women carrying water back. In some places, one third of the time is spent on the way to fetch water. "I got up in the middle of the night and climbed mountains after mountains. At dawn, chickens crowed for water, and the sun was going down at home." Xinmin sang about the hardships and helplessness of water shortage.
The locals say that washing your face before is different from now. When a mother sprays saliva on the children's faces, everyone washes their faces. Things are much better now. Wipe some water with a towel. They think it's hygienic.
After years of drought, "it doesn't rain in NO FENG フウカ", there is only the sun in the sky. Whenever a drought strikes, the water pulling team will pull life-saving water day and night. At this time, people often see such a strange landscape: birds hover around the waterwheel and take turns to dive, and animals are desperately chasing the waterwheel. Once the water tanker releases a bucket of water, the animals will have a water war. At this time, it is futile to whip and drive away. Sometimes, people have to watch them drink water quietly because these animals are really thirsty.
Governor Cheng is an orphan in bad karma. My parents have worked hard all their lives on the desolate loess high slope, and they have never walked out of the ravine of their hometown. When they begged people to name their son, they deliberately chose the word "distant", hoping that their son could get out of the misery and stay away from poverty. However, their son is still in infancy, but now they have a common "swing" disease. Because there is no money for treatment, both of them are "waiting" to die at the cave home.
Cheng grew up eating hundreds of steamed buns. I only studied in a cave primary school far from Shi Lishan Road for three years, but I dropped out of school because I couldn't afford the tuition and didn't have food. Then, on the hillside covered with parents' footprints, a little shepherd appeared, with his hands on his books. The sheep are looking for food in the loess, and the little shepherd is eating books. Hungry, eat a few mouthfuls of cold steamed buns, thirsty, drink a few mouthfuls of cold water in the earthen pot, bored, and shout at the top of your voice. The little shepherd became far away, and thus began his life.
A day later, there was a big shepherd on the hillside. There is no white sheep belly towel on the big shepherd's forehead, and he can't sing a letter. Dressed in a Chinese tunic suit, he is always thinking about something and sighing from time to time. In this way, two shepherds met and became friends. The big shepherd thought the little shepherd was clever and liked him very much, so he taught him to read and write. The little shepherd thinks that the big shepherd is too haggle over every ounce to control the sheep, so he often helps him.
On the loess high slope, two shepherds, one large and one small, and a large flock of sheep hang there, like a watercolor painting.
One day after a year, the big shepherd will leave the little shepherd and the sheep. At this time, the little shepherd knew that the big shepherd was the county party secretary and a big official. Because of the Cultural Revolution, the county party secretary was persecuted and became a shepherd.
When we parted, the shepherd cried. He was sad because he couldn't bear to leave the shepherd. He cried and said, I won't let you go, just stay and be a shepherd all your life. When you are old, I will give you a pension and die. Yes, the big shepherd is gone, and the little shepherd without relatives can only herd sheep by himself in the future. It's so lonely. The big shepherd is also very sad. His affection for the little shepherd is already deep and inseparable. The little shepherd begged the big shepherd to stay and stay on the hillside with the sheep. The shepherd sighed for a while, shook his head reluctantly and left reluctantly.
A few days later, the people in the county took the little shepherd away. It turned out that the big shepherd was reinstated and arranged for the little shepherd to return to school.
It is particularly worth mentioning that a few years later, Big Shepherd became the immediate boss of Little Shepherd and introduced him to the producer of China. Dayanguan, secretary of the county party Committee, later served as secretary of the municipal party Committee, and the last position was secretary of the Northwest Provincial Party Committee. The old leader favors a friend in need and supports him all the way.
The story of two shepherds has also become a much-told story in the northwest officialdom.
When the old leader died, Cheng was already the party secretary of Fengyang, the capital of northwest province. He sincerely appreciates the leadership in his career and regards the old leader as an example and goal in his life. He also respected the old leader and regarded him as his brother and teacher. He is a little grumpy, but he is docile and obedient only in front of the old leader.
Cheng has worked in the post of governor for seven years. As an official province for such a long time, horizontal comparison in the country is rare in recent years. Furthermore, I have been secretary of the provincial party Committee for a long time. Even, this has become the pain he buried in his heart.
It's very tiring to expect unattainable goals. This is not just the feeling of people in officialdom.
The vast sea of people, people, officials to the length of a township, the length of a county should be called heroes among the people, not to mention the length of a province? Who can live at such a height? In fact, this is not too much compared with a few morning stars. Life is like this, it should be enough. However, endless desire may be the essential feature of human nature. Especially the stubborn desire for promotion in the official career. Exactly the same as each other.
It should be said that in terms of ability, prestige and political achievements, Governor Cheng is excellent. If you can be the secretary of the provincial party Committee, the big aspects can play a better role; In a small way, he also realized his long-cherished wish in life. I think, what Governor Cheng yearns for is not only the imposing manner and majesty of the provincial party secretary, but also the life he pursues, which will surely unify the whole province and achieve great things.
More than two years ago, the central government adjusted the leadership of the Northwest Provincial Party Committee, and Wen, secretary of the provincial party Committee, was transferred to the CPPCC. However, surprisingly, Governor Cheng failed to take over the post of Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee as usual, and remained in the position of Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Governor. The central government sent a new party secretary, Peng Geng, to the northwest province.
In the western region of China, the northwest province, as a big industrial province and a big resource province, is very important in both strategic and economic status. If you can be a provincial party secretary in such a province, you can not only give full play to your leadership and make contributions on a larger stage, but also realize the life goals and political ambitions that politicians strive for. However, this long-awaited goal was never achieved by Governor Cheng, and the opportunity passed by him again.
Governor Chengyuan, whose official career has always been relatively smooth, must have felt unprecedented setbacks. Although you can't see anything on the surface, the inner resistance must be very strong. Because, from the later work, Governor Cheng Yuanchang's passive state can be seen. ...
It is normal for Governor Chengyuan to have ambivalence at the moment. The sudden accident of Secretary Peng Geng actually pushed both opportunities and challenges to Governor Chengyuan. According to the average person's judgment, the secretary Peng Geng suddenly became seriously ill. If he is not cured for a long time, he is likely to quit politics in Northwest Province. The reason is naturally poor health, and it is difficult to be competent for the heavy work of the post of provincial party secretary. In this way, it is natural for the governor to take over as secretary of the provincial party Committee. It's probably not good for the Central Committee to send someone to be the secretary of the provincial party committee. From emotion to reason, it seems unreasonable to do so. This is a godsend.
But I think Governor Chengyuan should be very aware of the grim situation facing the economic and social development of Northwest Province. In such a big industrial province, industrial prosperity makes the province rich and the people strong, while industrial decline is extremely difficult. At present, large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises are generally facing difficulties, and economic development is in a cyclical recession stage. There are many contradictions arising from the difficulties in economic development in all aspects of the province, and some contradictions are still difficult to solve at the moment.
In this crisis, if Secretary Peng Geng withdraws, even if he temporarily withdraws from his post due to illness, Governor Cheng Yuan has no choice but to be pushed to the front line and is inevitably at the forefront. If you really put the burden of the provincial party secretary on his shoulders, he will naturally find his own government for him. To tell the truth, this crisis requires the courage to dare to go up and down the mountain.
However, according to my experience in officialdom, during Peng Geng's illness, Governor Chengyuan is likely to be in charge of the overall situation and carry out his work in the capacity of presiding over the work of the provincial party committee and government. This role does not need to be announced and emphasized by the central authorities. It is naturally formed, and there is some helplessness.
If my judgment is correct, the role of Governor Chengyuan is actually like a Jedi. Because, in officialdom, sometimes, the role of being ordered to preside over the work in a crisis is very difficult. As the name implies, presiding over the work is temporary, not the top leader in the real sense, and it is somewhat inappropriate and unsatisfactory. As far as the current situation in Northwest Province is concerned, Peng Geng, secretary of the provincial party committee, did not leave his post after all. Therefore, no matter how serious the illness is, he still has to have the final say in major events. This is the working procedure and organizational principle. So the actual power is still in his hands. On the front line, Governor Chengyuan is in charge of this work. In short, I am in a dilemma. This role is a bit like working for someone else. In other words, if you do well, the results will be cultivated by Peng Geng, secretary of the provincial party Committee; If something goes wrong, the responsibility should be borne by Governor Chengyuan. This is an extremely special period, and there are too many difficulties in how to carry out work, how to lead cadres and how to deal with some problems that need to be solved urgently.
In fact, in the waiting, everyone's mood can't be calm. It can be said that each has his own heart, because the safety of a provincial coach is related to the overall situation and affects the rise and fall of the generals under the account.
I can feel that the provincial leaders are most concerned about the development trend of Peng Geng's illness. For this old monitor who has worked for about two years, on the whole, everyone still recognizes him. Secretary Peng Geng is recognized as an excellent captain. Northwest province, a critical ship, drifting in the stormy waves. In fashionable words, "reform has entered a critical stage and development is in a critical period." At such an important moment, the influence of the captain's fate on the sailing boat is self-evident. Therefore, anxiety and worry hang on everyone's face and weigh heavily on everyone's mind.
At present, secretary Peng Geng is critically ill and his prospects are unpredictable. How long can the handsome flag of Northwest Province fly in the wind and rain? Will the power structure change as a result? How should we deal with the changes that have taken place? Should the center of gravity shift? Although I am just a nobody in the officialdom, I can understand the difficulties of these senior officials around me and the pain of their choices.
I saw Ma Liangyu, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary General of the Provincial Party Committee, coming along. I quietly asked him if he wanted to inform Peng Geng's family about the current situation.
Secretary-General Ma Liangyu wanted to think, shook his head and said nothing.
I realized my stupidity.
1998, it will be fine on Friday the 9th.
It's 3: 3 a.m.1.
The silence in the living room suffocated me. The leaders are still sitting on the sofa with their eyes closed. However, no one fell asleep. Because so many "snorers" get together, there is no snoring.
Suddenly, the living room door opened, and two armed police soldiers helped a white-haired old man and slowly came in. Everyone was awakened and stood up in unison. There is admiration, surprise and incomprehension in the eyes.
The leader of the living room is too familiar with the old man. She is the 89-year-old old Red Army and old leader Comrade Su Feng. I wonder who disturbed the old man in the middle of the night. Her arrival made my eyes shine.
Su Feng had a legendary life. She took part in the famous 25,000-mile Li Long Long March in China's history, and was one of the few female Red Army women in that team that went through hardships. Later, Su Feng served as the commander of the northwest detachment of the anti-Japanese Coalition forces, and was a world-famous old woman with two guns. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Su Feng has been the leader of the Northwest Province, and the official is the director of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress. A few years ago, she retired from the position of director of the Advisory Committee of the Northwest Provincial Party Committee. She has great influence in the northwest province and even the whole country. There are many old subordinates, and now she still holds important leadership positions at all levels in the province and the central leading organs.
For many years, in the officialdom of northwest province, no one dared to despise the existence of this old man.
Su Feng was aboveboard and daring all his life, and was known as 100% Bolshevik. Until now, many of her moving stories are still circulating. Her husband is a political commissar of the northwest detachment, a handsome young man. During the War of Liberation, in a fierce battle, due to the command error of the political commissar, the troops were surrounded by the iron wall of Ma Jiajun in Qilian Mountain, and faced the danger of total annihilation. At this time, Su Feng, who rushed back to the rescue from other places, drew a gun and shot the domineering political commissar's husband, leading the troops to break through the tight encirclement and rescue the northwest detachment.
