late at night.
The plane landed smoothly at Gyeongju International Airport.
After politely declining Chen Yang's offer to see her off.
Luo Shanhe hailed a taxi and headed to the Hantong Provincial Party Committee compound.
Hearing the address and then observing the passenger's demeanor.
Driving on the road every day, carrying many passengers, I've seen countless people.
He immediately realized that he must have pulled in a high-ranking official this time.
Therefore, when shifting gears and accelerating to start, be gentle.
"Hey honey, the plane landed on time. I'm already in a taxi, we should be there soon."
"It'll only take twenty minutes!"
The driver offered a friendly reminder.
Luo Shanhe quickly added, "Did you hear that? The driver said he'll be there in twenty minutes. Okay, see you in a bit."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Shanhe saw 'Chen Yang' on the call log.
Before parting, the two not only exchanged phone numbers.
Furthermore, in order to integrate into Handong as quickly as possible and facilitate the commencement of work.
Luo Shanhe also agreed to attend her younger brother Chen Hai's wedding banquet over the weekend and visit Chen Yanshi and other veteran comrades.
I put my phone away and looked out the window.
At this moment.
Just then, an airplane, its navigation lights flashing red and green, roared down as it landed.
Although it is unknown where this plane came from to Jingzhou.
But for Luo Shanhe, who had just arrived by plane from Yanjing...
He genuinely felt that traveling by plane was incredibly fast and saved a lot of time.
Otherwise, take the train...
Even the fastest express train from Yanjing to Jingzhou takes twelve hours.
It's like leaving in the evening and not arriving until tomorrow morning, which is much, much slower than the two-hour flight.
This is solely based on the fact that it makes travel faster and more convenient for ordinary people.
Luo Shanhe felt that China should restart the large aircraft project and must produce domestically made aircraft no matter what.
Moreover, Luo Shanhe had many feelings about this flight, both from his personal experience and from his casual conversations with Chen Yang.
Operating a flight requires close cooperation between the airline and the two airports, as well as different professionals.
Security personnel need to inspect passengers, maintenance personnel need to inspect aircraft, ground staff need to refuel and load/unload baggage, pilots need to operate the aircraft, flight attendants need to provide cabin service, and air traffic control needs to guide flight...
So, with over a hundred civil aviation airports across the country, handling tens of thousands of flight takeoffs and landings and ensuring the safe travel of hundreds of thousands of passengers every day, how many aircraft would that require? And how many people would be needed to provide the corresponding services?
With the rapid development of China's economy, even with the future development of a comprehensive high-speed rail network, the scale of the civil aviation industry will expand dramatically, inevitably requiring more aircraft in the future.
Does that mean that airplanes costing hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars are all bought from the West?
If this is true, then not only will they have no bargaining power when purchasing aircraft, but they also won't be able to negotiate prices for aircraft maintenance and repair.
Even when malfunctions or plane crashes occur, they lack the confidence to raise questions or conduct their own investigations.
In addition, the research and production of aircraft can drive the development of many industries and provide at least hundreds of thousands of high-paying jobs.
After all, even if both are maintenance jobs, repairing airplanes can definitely offer better pay and benefits than repairing cars.
Moreover, an airplane has hundreds of thousands of parts of various sizes.
The research, design, testing, and production of these components require many suppliers, which naturally necessitates the recruitment of a large number of talents!
Even if a single aircraft costs hundreds of millions, with an annual production of over a hundred aircraft, plus related technical support and maintenance, it's easy to generate hundreds of billions in output value.
And this is still Luo Shanhe's conservative estimate; the actual output value will inevitably be much larger and more terrifying.
and so……
"We must build large aircraft, and we must develop the aviation industry!"
"Handong, which has bravely taken the lead and invested huge amounts of human, material and financial resources, really must do everything possible to maintain this great momentum of development!"
As Luo Shanhe sighed inwardly, he looked out the car window at the construction site filled with towering cranes.
Although it was late at night, the construction site was still brightly lit and bustling with activity.
"Sir, do you know what's being built at this large construction site on the right side of the airport expressway?"
"It seems to be a logistics park! Right now, there are a lot of people taking flights here, and a lot of air cargo too."
"Jingzhou International Airport is busy, so you must be making a lot of money, right?"
"It's alright. I can earn a lot more than when I was working a regular job, but it's also hard work!"
The driver sighed and remarked as he drove:
"A shift is only twelve hours long. If you want to earn more than the fees, you have to keep running on the road."
"To save time, I dare not drink much water. With such long hours of sitting and holding my urine, how can my body not develop problems?"
Luo Shanhe sighed, "Compared to all the occupational hazards you have, you should be more worried about being robbed while driving at night, right?"
Every year, numerous cases of robbery against taxi drivers occur across the country.
Even Tianhai, which is known as an international metropolis, is no exception.
“The security situation used to be bad. I was robbed at knifepoint twice myself, but I was lucky. I gave them the money and they let me go. Unlike one of my fellow villagers, who gave them the money and was stabbed to death. His car was also taken and left in the countryside.”
"However, the security situation in Jingzhou is much better than before. At slightly larger intersections, densely populated areas, and places where cases frequently occur, there are police posts. Even if there aren't any, there are security cameras installed."
"Of course, the most effective way is to catch them and sentence them severely. There was a street thug who didn't have a proper job. He robbed a junior high student of a few dollars at knifepoint during evening self-study. He was caught in an internet cafe that night, and at the beginning of the month, he was sentenced to ten years in prison."
"Isn't it?"
Luo Shanhe asked in great surprise:
"Stealing a few dollars, and you get ten years in prison?"
"Isn't Handong supposed to be working on improving the work style at the grassroots level and strictly prohibiting heavy punishment for minor mistakes?"
The driver chuckled.
"Minor mistakes should not be severely punished, provided that the mistake is minor and the harm is minimal!"
"Just like both are illegal parking, illegal parking on city streets and illegal parking on highways are obviously different in nature."
"If we park illegally in the city, it will at most affect traffic, and the possibility of causing a car accident is not high. So it is right not to punish minor mistakes severely. If we move it within fifteen minutes, we will not be punished. There is nothing wrong with that."
"But on the highway, you can't just stop whenever you want. That's not only irresponsible to your own life, but also to others. It could easily lead to a major accident with fatalities. Of course, it should be severely punished!"
"Besides, robbery is a serious crime, and that bastard did it at night, robbing a junior high school student at knifepoint. He used a knife, how can this be a small matter? Moreover, the victim was a minor, imagine the psychological trauma he caused the child!"
Luo Shanhe nodded slightly.
What is true rule of law?
It is clearly not a simple matter of 'laws must be followed and violations must be punished'.
While it is correct to follow the law, the method of pursuing accountability must be both firm and flexible.
The law is inseparable from human sentiment, and reason is inseparable from the human heart.
In judicial practice, the motives, remorse, and degree of social harm of the offender should be fully considered, and a flexible approach should be chosen rather than rigid adherence to dogma.
Therefore, minor mistakes should be forgiven and given a chance to reform, while serious crimes should be severely punished.
Compared to the taxi driver, this case is more telling.
Luo Shanhe felt that the case reported in the Handong Daily on the plane, which was about Lincheng, was the real case that should be reported to the whole country as a reference.
A young man was stopped by two strangers on his way home after finishing his night shift, who asked him to lend them some money.
When the young man refused to give it to them, he was attacked by two men. He then picked up a stone from the ground and fought back.
During the fight, one of the opponents was knocked down.
The young man slammed his head down again.
This single blow caused severe intracranial trauma to the victim, resulting in immediate death.
After the incident, local police arrested him on charges of manslaughter, and the local prosecutor's office also filed a public prosecution on the same charge.
But the young man didn't think he was wrong, that it wasn't manslaughter, and his family even sold everything they owned to raise money to hire a lawyer to fight the case.
Local police and prosecutors believe the young man acted in excessive self-defense, exceeding the necessary limits and causing undue harm.
In other words, the argument is that once the other person is hit, they have already lost the ability to move, and the young man should not hit them with a stone again.
Even considering the circumstances, the young man was robbed and beaten by two people, so he should still be sentenced to two years in prison.
However, the Lincheng Intermediate People's Court ruled that the young man's actions constituted legitimate self-defense and that he should be acquitted.
This verdict was supported by Tang Zhisheng, the clerk of the Political and Legal Affairs Department of Handong, who also notified the judicial authorities at all levels in Handong.
It is required that defensive actions taken against ongoing violent crimes that seriously endanger personal safety, such as poisoning, arson, murder, robbery, and kidnapping, resulting in injury or death to the perpetrator, are not considered excessive self-defense and will not incur criminal liability.
In an interview, the judge who made the ruling claimed that self-defense is an inherent human right, and that the rule of law must be resolutely upheld. He stressed the need to resolutely encourage citizens to fight against unlawful infringements and to resolutely prevent the kind of appeasement that claims whoever makes the most noise or whoever is injured or killed is right.
In this specific case, the judge believed that law enforcement officers should put themselves in the shoes of the young people and try to understand their perspective.
Is it wrong to fight back when faced with robbery and brutal beatings?
If the other party falls to the ground during a fight, how can we accurately determine that they have lost the ability to commit violence?
Smashing it an extra time is for one's own safety, and it's a normal reaction that countless ordinary people would make.
Does hitting someone one more time and killing the robber mean it's not legitimate self-defense? Does it mean it's excessive self-defense?
To enable ordinary people to accurately grasp the timing, method, and scale of their counterattacks...
This is obviously too demanding; it would be difficult for anyone to do.
Does that mean that if a thug wants to forcibly humiliate someone, you can only push him away and not hit him?
Does that mean if a criminal stabs you, you can only stab him once, and can't kill him?
If a thief steals your wallet, can't you chase after him and risk injuring or killing him in his panic?
Isn't such a restriction on the public tantamount to indirectly encouraging crime?
Therefore, when faced with violent crimes that seriously endanger personal safety, one should have the right to unlimited self-defense!
Therefore, Luo Shanhe felt...
This case, which is significant enough to advance the rule of law, should not only be reported within Handong Province but should also be circulated nationwide for reference.
of course.
From the taxi driver's words, Luo Shanhe also gleaned a crucial piece of information.
In areas with high population density and a high incidence of crime, Handong Province has strengthened its supervision and surveillance.
They either have police posts or security checkpoints, or they are equipped with security cameras.
This is naturally a great deterrent to potential criminals.
The probability of getting caught is too high, and if caught, you will be severely punished.
People are less likely to commit crimes, so public security naturally improves.
Also.
Luo Shanhe, who has been in politics for many years, also knows an objective law.
The more prosperous the economy and the better the employment opportunities in a place, the better the public security will be.
In this life, how many people toil and struggle, all for a few coins?
Whether it's working in a factory, on a construction site, or as a waiter/waitress.
Even without education or culture, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can earn money.
How many people are willing to take the risk and break the law?
Even if you don't have money, you can earn tens of yuan a day doing temporary work, and you can spend it however you want.
A man robbed a middle school student of a few dollars at knifepoint, but was sentenced to ten years in prison, ruining his promising youth.
Anyone with a modicum of intelligence can do the math.
Luo Shanhe believed that even if he didn't go out and observe, the public security situation in Jingzhou, which was experiencing rapid economic development, must be quite good.
The truth was just as he expected.
The taxi exited the airport expressway and entered the city.
Even though it was almost midnight, there were still quite a few cars and people on the streets.
Tomorrow is Saturday, and many office workers will have a weekend off and won't need to work.
Therefore, how can we not enjoy the nightlife on Friday night?
Along the way, many shops on both sides of the street were still open for business with their lights on.
Many roadside stalls are doing brisk business.
Many people are eating barbecue and drinking beer.
Luo Shanhe quickly spotted the security post that the taxi driver had mentioned.
Interestingly, next to this police post at the intersection with its flashing lights, there were many vendors selling various snacks.
Look closely.
Although these vendors are "occupying the road," they only occupy a portion of the sidewalk and do not affect traffic.
No wonder the police officers and urban management officers on patrol didn't drive them away at all; instead, they were chatting and laughing.
Such a harmonious coexistence left Luo Shanhe speechless with astonishment.
Because it is located in Tianhai, a city known as an international metropolis.
In order to maintain the so-called city image and create a clean and tidy environment.
In many places, setting up stalls or booths without permission is strictly prohibited, and violators will be driven away or even severely punished.
Therefore, despite the seemingly bustling Tianhai, it is rare to see such scenes full of human warmth and everyday life.
Luo Shanhe believed that everything he saw must be real.
I'm not here to inspect Handong, but to take up my new post.
In the middle of the night, who would arrange for so many people to put on a show for them?
Seeing these brightly lit and bustling streets and alleys.
Luo Shanhe was even happier than seeing a large group of people waiting for him at the airport.
After a while.
The taxi arrived at the entrance of the Hantong Provincial Party Committee compound.
After paying and receiving the invoice, Luo Shanhe got off the bus and walked towards the guard post.
I'm worried that an embarrassing 'surprise' awaits me.
Fortunately, everything was kept simple, and really kept simple.
No one was lying in wait in the courtyard, waiting to give them a surprise welcome.
Guided by the guard on duty, Luo Shanhe strolled slowly along the quiet, tree-lined road toward his villa, number four.
The courtyard was silent, with only the dim yellow streetlights illuminating the path ahead.
After a leisurely stroll, Luo Shanhe arrived at Villa No. 4, which was lit up.
As his wife, Yao Qian, stood at the entrance of the courtyard, she saw her husband carrying a bag and immediately went to greet him with light steps.
"No one accompanied you to Handong, no one came to pick you up at the airport, I've never seen someone take office like this before. Someone as low-key as you should at least be a vice-minister, you..."
"It's alright. I think it's better to keep things low-key and simple. Without so many formalities, there's less hypocrisy and politeness. Otherwise, even with all those smiling faces, who knows how many people are truly welcoming us?"
Luo Shanhe smiled broadly, took his wife's hand, and walked into the villa.
Regardless of how many people in this compound wanted him to come, or how many didn't, he was already here.
They come, the security.
I, Luo Shanhe, have come to Handong, and I will certainly do my duty to protect this pure land!
He also believes that if the city of Jingzhou can be so full of life and the rule of law in Handong can be so humane, then the leadership team headed by Zhao Lichun cannot be difficult to get along with.
under night.
Villa No. 5 is not far away.
Wu Chunlin, the organization minister of Handong, stood in the unlit study and slowly raised his hand to take a deep drag on his cigarette.
Although he was not afraid of Luo Shanhe, he was not afraid at all that Luo Shanhe's new broom sweeps clean and might burn him.
Despite holding a high position and great power, he took office in such a low-key manner, even politely declining offers to be picked up at the airport.
So we had to discuss it with Zhao Shuji, Governor Liu and others, and send a potted plant as a small token of our appreciation and to show our welcome.
"What exactly is this extremely low-profile censor going to do? He's so quiet and unpredictable!"
After taking a deep drag of his cigarette, Wu Chunlin took out his mobile phone and found a number.
"Secretly investigate everyone on the list of candidates for promotion again!"
"Luo Shuji has arrived; we absolutely cannot afford to run into his line of fire at this time!!"
