Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 465: 1 letter
"Academician Chen, Vice Mayor Zhao asked me to hand this over to you." The command room of the resettlement site has become Chen Xin's office. A city staff member sent a document to a document with a very solemn expression. The letter was handed over to Xin Xin Chen.
Chen Xin took the things handed by the staff, was surprised, and asked, "What is this?"
"This is the result of a public opinion survey on whether to carry out post-disaster reconstruction work in the original urban area, as well as a letter written by the people in the resettlement site to the city government. After Vice Mayor Zhao has read it, let me pass it on to you, He said you should take a look." The staff seemed to have read the letter, looking a little sad and excited at the same time, but more of a pride.
"Okay, I'll watch it." Chen Xin seemed to have noticed something and nodded seriously.
After the staff left, Chen Xin opened the document in his hand, while the letter was temporarily put aside.
The result of the opinion poll can be said to be within Chen Xin's expectations, but it exceeds his expectations.
More than 90% of the surviving people supported the rebuilding of the city and chose the option of rebuilding on the original site of the city.
The people support the rebuilding of the city. This is of course what Chen Xin expected. After all, some people from the Yan Kingdom have said that they have left their hometowns since ancient times. Although migrants can be resettled in safer places, they are always far away. My hometown has become a rootless duckweed.
If there is no way out, who would want to leave the familiar place and living environment and go to a strange place?
Chen Xin was not surprised by the results of the opinion poll. The only thing that surprised him was that 90% of the people supported the reconstruction of the city's original site.
This is indeed beyond Chen Xin's expectations.
Especially under this article, there is a special note that it was handwritten with a pen, and this sentence also made Chen Xin feel deeply shocked.
This sentence was written very simply, but when Chen Xin read it, he felt that every word was more important.
“All the people of our city accept and understand the damage to the bodies of the victims caused by the reconstruction work.”
A short sentence looks simple at first glance, and the meaning is clearly expressed. There is no misunderstanding and ambiguity.
But the more so, the more I can feel the weight behind this sentence.
It was not one or two corpses, nor the simple consent of one or two people, but the corpses of 100,000 victims and 200,000 survivors who suffered from the loss of their loved ones, under great grief and grief, Tough but great choices made.
The choice they made is to give up the remains of their loved ones, not only to give up the collection of the remains of their relatives, but also to maintain the integrity of their bodies after death.
Death and life matter a lot. In the Yan Kingdom, whether the deceased can obtain peace after death is a very important thing.
In the traditional culture of the Yan Kingdom, the aftermath of the deceased is very particular. Not only should the death be like life, but also whether the body of the deceased is complete and whether it can be buried in the ground.
If the deceased cannot rest in the ground, or if the body is incomplete when buried, it means that the soul of the deceased cannot rest in peace, and will forever sink into the world and suffer.
This is a very taboo thing in the traditional culture of the Yan Kingdom. Even though some feudal bad habits in modern society have been abandoned, the grief and respect for the dead relatives still make the people of the Yan Kingdom pay great attention to the deceased's life after death. peaceful.
It is not possible to collect the body of the deceased like this, let it be exposed to the wilderness, and even damage the body, even in modern society, it is still a very taboo thing, and it is extremely harmful to the deceased and the living. respect.
But now, the city's 200,000 survivors have chosen a very painful choice for them.
Chen Xin didn't dare to think about how these survivors who suffered the loss of their homes and loved ones made such a decision, and what kind of sacrifices were represented behind this decision.
Although it is said that 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 was not just a cold corpse.
They were alive not long ago, our most important relatives and friends, and now that they are gone, this is already a great blow to the living, and it is an unbearable emotional pain.
Now not only are they unable to bury their remains, but also rebuild their homes on the ruins where their remains are buried, and push the ruins where their remains are buried, so that their bodies are incomplete and cannot be buried in the ground for safety, both emotionally and Ethically, it is by no means something that can be easily accepted.
In fact, even if everyone is opposed to leveling the ruins, Chen Xin thinks it is understandable.
However, 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 heavy, bit his lip, put down the poll report in his hand, pinched the bridge of his nose, and then picked up the letter that was sent with the poll report.
Although I don't know who wrote the letter and what was written in the letter, Chen Xin felt that there should be the answer he wanted.
With awe, Chen Xin opened the letter and read it.
The letter was written on a piece of white paper. It could be seen that it was only 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 ~IndoMTL.com~ is only a few lines.
"The earthquake took away our relatives and friends, and their remains were buried under the rubble. This is indeed a very painful thing."
"But the deceased is dead. 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 level the ruins and rebuild their homes."
"Despite the remains of my family under the rubble, the living are more important than the dead."
"Only by rebuilding our homes can more people live."
"It's really unacceptable to level the rubble and destroy the remains."
"It's really sad and painful that my family has left me forever, but I can't let someone else's family leave their side because of me."
"If I am also one of the victims, if my body is still buried under the rubble, please treat my body as the cornerstone of my new home. This is the only strength I can contribute."
"I have no hope for the dead. People who are alive, please take my share of the future and build a new home."
