Author: Ye Haiyan (from Hubei)
As a person from Hubei, I personally experienced the pain of being rejected from entering Beijing in Songzhuang last month. Up to now, the epidemic situation in various places has entered a stable and controlled period, and the country has begun to encourage workers to resume work. The government is trying its best to help the public restore normal order. However, the slogan of Beijing resisting people from Hubei entering the city is becoming louder and louder. This is particularly unfair for many people from Hubei who live in Beijing.
As a person from Hubei, I know that my voice is weak and cannot reach the heavens. But I still want to shout!
If we can reason, I want to tell the Beijing government three reasons.
- Because every person from Hubei is a citizen of the People's Republic of China and a taxpayer, they have the freedom to travel throughout China. In fact, the Beijing government has no right to intervene in the return of people from Hubei to Beijing! Unless Beijing has become independent. Unless Beijing's fiscal revenue is independent and comes entirely from the people of Beijing. Unless Beijing has never enjoyed financial support from the country! But we all know that Beijing's rise and prosperity come from the selfless dedication and great sacrifices of the people of China.
As long as the Beijing government spends the money of taxpayers from the whole country, it has no right to separate itself from the national framework and deprive any citizen, including people from Hubei, of the right to enter Beijing for its own interests. Under the leadership of the central government, Beijing enjoys national dividends. What qualifications and face does it have to be selfish and self-centered in the face of national difficulties!?
- After nearly two months of efforts, and the efforts of the new leadership team and all staff in Wuhan, Hubei Province, the infection situation in Hubei has been comprehensively investigated. A total of 3945 communities without any epidemic have been identified. These epidemic-free communities can resume normal production. The way the Beijing government is expelling all people from Hubei is neither scientific nor rational! It also exposes the ugly face of a local government, the capital of the country, that has no sense of responsibility and is selfish.
Beijing is the capital of China and the direction and hope that the people of the whole country look forward to. But the behavior of the Beijing government, closing its doors and guarding its city, is not worthy of being the capital of the country!
- Mountains and rivers will meet! If every city is like Beijing, closing its doors and excluding people from Hubei, it will set a bad example for all provinces in the country! If every city is like Beijing, this country may soon split!
The reason why China was able to successfully overcome the national difficulties this time is because of the selfless dedication and cooperation among the provinces! The people of the whole country have felt the power of love in the battle of cooperation between provinces this time. This kind of mutual assistance and solidarity in difficult times should be promoted and continued! It should become our beautiful tradition.
As long as all provinces are united, no one will be isolated when facing difficulties!
If Beijing is so arrogant, when Beijing encounters difficulties one day, just like in 2003, will other provinces also close their doors and reject people from Beijing?
In the face of public interests, selfishness is tantamount to cutting off one's own path. I hope the Beijing municipal government thinks it through!
