Chapter 2199 Souvenirs

Sun Hai knew Liu Fusheng's character very well. After hearing what Yang Shan said, he immediately said, "Xiao Yang, I think what Secretary Liu said makes sense."

"These miners and their families came here spontaneously and sincerely to thank their lifesaver. At this time, they all understand that Secretary Liu cannot talk to them for a long time due to health reasons."

"It would be a bit inhumane if we didn't meet."

Seeing that they all held the same opinion, Yang Shan shrugged indifferently.

He has no experience in grassroots work and has no understanding of the psychology of ordinary people. Since that's what they say, let's do it.

Zhou Xiaozhe said, "Secretary, I have sent someone to buy you some food. Please wait a little longer, and then go after you have eaten and regained your strength."

Liu Fusheng shook his head and said, "Just now I didn't know that there were people waiting outside. Now that I know, I can't delay any longer. Meals can be eaten at any time. It's not appropriate to let people wait in the hospital for such a long time."

Liu Fusheng simply washed up, put on his clothes, and went downstairs.

At this time, Xie Zehua was in Professor Wang's ward, discussing the causes of the mine disaster.

Hearing that Liu Fusheng was coming out, apparently to meet the miners and their families, he immediately walked out of the room as well.

Xie Zehua asked with concern: "Secretary Liu, can you hold on?"

Liu Fusheng said: "I recovered very quickly. After all, I am still young. I wonder if Professor Wang is available now. He is the hero who rescued the miners."

Professor Wang in the room smiled and said, "I'm fine, but I can't stand this kind of scene. I don't like to be in the spotlight either. You should do it for me. If anyone asks, you can say that I haven't recovered yet."

Liu Fusheng smiled and admired Professor Wang even more. Not everyone could refuse such a prominent opportunity. Only someone like Professor Wang, who was indifferent to fame and fortune, could take it lightly.

Everyone walked slowly out of the inpatient building.

Under normal circumstances, the eastern Guangdong Province is warm all year round, but some time ago, the weather was rather abnormal and there was heavy snow in eastern Guangdong. The temperature now is only 7 or 8 degrees Celsius.

Many people were used to warm weather and wore relatively thin clothes. It was obvious that many family members were shivering from the cold.

Zhou Xiaozhe stepped forward and said, "Comrades, Secretary Liu is here."

In fact, even if he didn't say it, many people at the scene recognized Liu Fusheng.

After all, he is the secretary of the Chaojiang Municipal Party Committee, and his photos are in newspapers and media. If these people want to find Liu Fusheng to thank him, they must recognize his appearance clearly. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if they recognize the wrong person?

So before Zhou Xiaozhe finished speaking, hundreds of miners and their families in the yard rushed over.

"Secretary Liu, how is your health?"

"Secretary Liu, do you still remember me? You were the one who pulled me out of the mine with your own hands!"

"Secretary Liu, my husband is seriously injured and still lying in bed. I brought my children here today to kowtow to you and thank you!"

……

In front of the hospital building, everyone was talking at once, just like in a vegetable market.

Fortunately, the soldiers arranged by Xie Zehua dutifully formed a human wall, which prevented them from running in front of Liu Fusheng at the same time. Otherwise, unexpected things might have happened.

Liu Fusheng cheered up and said, "Comrades, please calm down. I am Liu Fusheng. I remember every one of you. I am very grateful that you came to the hospital to see me. Thank you all!"

As soon as these words came out, all the miners and their families said, "Secretary Liu, it's not you who should thank us, but we who should thank you. You are our lifesaver."

"You are such a big leader, but you went down the well yourself and risked your life to save us. You gave us hope to survive. You are really the benefactor of our whole family."

In the yard, everyone was speaking from the bottom of their hearts, and everyone was waving enthusiastically to Liu Fusheng.

They knew very well that without Liu Fusheng to rescue people, they would most likely be abandoned by the group of people holding the memorial service.

Yang Shan, who was standing next to him, took out a loudspeaker.

Liu Fusheng said weakly: "Comrades, I have received your kindness. From the moment I became a public official, I swore to serve the people wholeheartedly, to regard the people's affairs as my own, and to regard the people's lives as more important than my own life!"

"All I'm doing is fulfilling my previous promise. I believe that the vast majority of public officials, like me, care about the people and regard everyone as their own family! No matter who you are, if you encounter such a thing, you will make the same choice as me!"

"I feel everyone's gratitude. I hope everyone will stop gathering in the hospital! The hospital is a place to treat illnesses and save lives. Patients who come here need a quiet rest and need to take good care of their bodies! I know you are doing this with good intentions, but we cannot bring trouble to the hospital. It will delay the doctors from saving lives and the patients from recuperating. This is not appropriate."

A family member of a miner said: "Secretary Liu, we didn't think too much about it. We just knew that you were in the hospital and wanted to come and see you. You are our great benefactor, and we absolutely cannot fail to express our gratitude!"

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Also, Professor Wang, who went down the well with me to rescue, is the best geologist in our country. It is because of his guidance that we were able to rescue everyone successfully."

"If we want to express our gratitude, we should also thank Professor Wang for his dedication! However, Professor Wang is old and is recuperating in the hospital due to excessive fatigue. Don't you hope that Professor Wang can have a good rest?"

After these words were spoken, the scene finally quieted down.

Professor Wang has indeed made great contributions. Except for a few people who were killed in the first wave of mine collapse, almost all the remaining survivors were rescued.

Without top geologists, this would never have been possible.

A miner said: "Secretary Liu, we will not disturb you and Professor Wang from resting. You must be safe and healthy! We are ordinary people and have nothing to repay you. We only have some local specialties brought from home. You can keep them for nourishment!"

His family members also said: "Yes, Secretary Liu, these things are worthless, please be sure to accept them!"

Liu Fusheng smiled and nodded, saying, "I will definitely accept everyone's kindness."

"Great!"

All the miners and their families were extremely excited. They took out the things they brought and placed them in front of Liu Fusheng.

Now, Liu Fusheng was a little dumbfounded.

He wanted to calm the emotions of the miners and their families, so that they would thank him and leave on their own initiative, thus restoring order in the hospital.

But I didn't expect that they really brought a lot of things.

Some people took out a sack of mountain products, and some people took out rice grown in their own home!

Some people even brought all their chickens, ducks, and geese...
