Chapter 465 A letter

"Academician Chen, Deputy Mayor Zhao asked me to hand this over to you." In the resettlement point command room of Chen Xin's office, a city government staff handed a document and a letter to Chen Xinshou with a very solemn expression.

Insert an app: A perfect replica of the old version of the Book Chasing Artifact that can be changed from source—.

Chen Xin took the things handed over by the staff, was surprised and asked, "What is this?"

"This is the result of a poll on whether to carry out post-disaster reconstruction work in the original city, as well as a letter written by the resettlement site to the city government. After reading it, Deputy Mayor Zhao asked me to pass it on to you. He said you should take a look." The staff seemed to have read the letter, with a sad expression and a little excited, but more of it was a kind of pride.

"Okay, I'll see it." Chen Xin seemed to notice something and nodded seriously.

After the staff said goodbye and left, Chen Xin then opened the documents in his hand and put the letter aside for the time being.

The results of the poll can be said to be within Chen Xin's expectations, but they exceeded his expectations.

Among the surviving people, more than 90% of the people support the reconstruction of the city and choose the option of rebuilding the city on the original site.

The people support the reconstruction of the city, which is of course what Chen Xin expected. After all, there have been people in Yan since ancient times that some people left their hometowns and were humble. Although immigration can be placed in a safer place, they are always far away from their hometowns and become rootless duckweed.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no way, who would be willing to stay away from the familiar places and living environment and go to unfamiliar places?

Chen Xin was not surprised at all when the polls were like this. The only thing that surprised him was that 90% of people supported the reconstruction of this article on the original city site.

This is indeed beyond Chen Xin's expectations.

Especially below this article, there is a special note that it was written in hand with a pen, and this sentence also made Chen Xin feel deeply shocked.

This sentence is very simple to write, but when Chen Xin read it, he felt that every word was getting heavier and heavier.

"All the people of our city expressed their acceptance and understanding of the damage to the bodies of the victims caused by the reconstruction work."

A short sentence seems simple at first glance, and the meaning is clearly expressed, without any misunderstandings or ambiguities.

But the more this happens, the more you can feel the weight behind this sentence.

It was not a body or two, nor a simple agreement of one or two people, but the difficult and great choices made by the bodies of 100,000 victims and 200,000 survivors who suffered the pain of losing their loved ones, enduring great sorrow and sorrow.

The choice they made gave up was the remains of their relatives, not only giving up the collection of their bodies, but also providing complete protection of their bodies after death.

Life and death are a big deal. In Yan Kingdom, whether the deceased can obtain peace after death is a very important thing.

In the traditional culture of Yan Kingdom, the deceased's afterlife is very particular. Not only should one die as if one is alive, but it is also very particular about whether the deceased's body is complete and whether it can be buried in the soil.

If the dead cannot be buried in peace, or if the body is not completely buryed, it means that the soul of the deceased cannot obtain peace and will be trapped in the world forever and endure suffering.

This is a very taboo thing in the traditional culture of Yan State. Even though some feudal habits in modern society have been abandoned, the grief and respect for the dead relatives still make the Yan State pay great attention to the peace after the death of the deceased.

Even modern society is still a very taboo thing, and it is extremely disrespectful to the dead and the dead and the living.

But now, the city's 200,000 survivors have chosen a very painful choice for them.

Chen Xin dared not think about what kind of mood these survivors who have suffered the pain of losing their homes and their relatives made such a decision, and what kind of sacrifices are behind this decision.

Although living people are more important than dead people, in the current environment and situation, letting more people survive is the most important thing.

But the deceased was not just a cold corpse.

They were living people not long ago, and they were our most important relatives and friends. Now that they have passed away, this itself is a great blow to the living and an emotionally unbearable pain.

Now not only can they be collected, but they also have to rebuild their homes on the ruins that buried their bodies, and flatten the ruins that buried their bodies, resulting in their incomplete bodies and inseparable from being buried. This is definitely not something that can be easily accepted in terms of emotions and morality.

In fact, even if everyone opposes the flattening of the ruins, Chen Xin thinks it is understandable.

However, now the choice of two hundred thousand people has been before him, and they have chosen the option that is most painful for themselves.

Chen Xin felt very heavy in his heart. He bit his lips, put down the poll report in his hand, and pinched the bridge of his nose before picking up the letter sent with the poll report.

Although I don’t know who wrote this letter and what content it wrote in it, Chen Xin felt that there should be the answer he wanted.

With a sense of awe, Chen Xin then unfolded the letter and started reading it.

The letter was written on a piece of white paper. It can be seen that it was just a piece of paper I found temporarily. There were even some stains on the paper, but it did not hinder it.

Because the content of the letter is not long, there are only a few lines of words.

"The earthquake took away our relatives and friends, and their bodies were buried under the ruins and could not be collected. This is indeed a very painful thing."

"But the dead are gone. Although it is very difficult and painful to make such a decision, I am still willing to agree to the city government's decision to flatten the ruins and rebuild my home."

"Although there are still bodies of my family under the ruins, the living is more important than the dead."

“Only by rebuilding the home can we keep more people alive.”

"It's really unacceptable to flatten the ruins and destroy the remains."

"My family has left me forever, which is really sad and painful, but I can't let other people's family leave them because of myself."

"If I were one of the victims, and if my body was still buried deep under the ruins, please treat my body as the cornerstone of my new home. This is the only force I can contribute."

"I have no hope when I die. People who are alive, please bring my future to build a new home."
