Redemption of Suoyu Village in Yiyuan Village

All the bitter fruit must be swallowed by yourself.

Today, Lin Yan is still in prison, and Zhang Juhai, who started with him, finally died of cancer. Although there is no direct evidence that this is related to the overall environment of Suoyu village, at least the environment of Suoyu village has undergone earth-shaking changes in these 30 years.

This change has made Wang Dongwang, deputy director of the village Committee, quite touched. He said that so far, several cases of cancer deaths have been found in the village. Around 2003, the villagers also experienced chest tightness and wheezing, mainly due to the harmful gas discharged from the coking plant. Since then, Gujiao City has intensified environmental protection and rectification, and a large number of coking plants have been shut down.

You can see the slogan "Develop agricultural mechanization and promote agricultural modernization" in Suoyu Village Square. But it seems that these can only be slogans "Ordinary people and coal bosses are tragic figures." A person in the coal industry in Shanxi said with emotion.

Pessimism pervades this small village. Yan Laping, the boss of Suoyu Village Commissary, is not optimistic about the market. His canteen used to sell bundles of beer, but now it sells bottles. Workers used to smoke Honghe cigarettes in 5 yuan, but now it has become Hongqiqu, 2.5 yuan and 3 yuan.

Sichuan migrant workers who refused to go home in the yard not far from the canteen also had a lot of saliva. In order to get living expenses while waiting for mining, they began to buy vegetables from the wholesale market in Gujiao City, and then turned around to sell vegetables between towns and villages in Gujiao, but they found that few people bought vegetables at all. "Everyone has no money."

Zhu, a migrant worker from Sichuan who likes to eat meat, said that he had not eaten meat for a month. Without small coal mines, their quality of life plummeted. The development of Shanxi in the past 30 years has been supported by small coal mines. When the depression swept the whole city, these migrant workers were still willing to wait, even risking their lives.

The hotel run by reporter Lin Yan in Gujiao City set off a tsunami as soon as it opened the door. This hotel used to be the most prosperous hotel in Gujiao City, with a large flow of people and extraordinary excitement.

However, even so, the dusty Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles parked in the courtyard of Yan Lin Ze Hotel and the luxury cars locked in the garage are still embarrassing.

A village official in Suoyu Village said it to the extreme that there is no land to grow and no work to do in the village. Those coal bosses who have grabbed the first bucket of gold and made a fortune should come up with money to help.

When the reporter was in the village, the villagers just kept dragging the reporter to see the cracks in the house and the coal slime they spent 170 yuan to 180 yuan per ton. Even the local police station found that they had no coal to burn. Wang Qi, director of the Suoyu Township Police Station, bluntly said that this was the first time he had seen Shanxi people playing coal cakes for heating and cooking in winter since he became a policeman.

Local villagers said that in early April, radiators from neighboring village committees were stolen and sold.

Wang Qi, director of Suoyu Town Police Station, has already felt the pressure. Since the beginning of the year, this police station with only six people has been checking rental houses and floating population, and one has registered. They even let the mine manager do the work of miners and let them return to China, but the mine manager is also in a dilemma.

"It is estimated that the security pressure will be even greater in the second half of the year." Wang Qi said meaningfully.
