Chapter 264 Yan Qingxue's Interview
"Hello, Ye Chen, I'm sorry for publishing what you said last night in the newspaper without your permission. I hope you don't mind."

After Ye Chen finished his class, he came to Wang Nianjiao's office. Ye Chen didn't want to make the interview so public, and it was unnecessary.

The reporter in front of him is Yan Qingxue, a reporter from "People's Daily". During the conversation just now, Ye Chen knew why the matter of opening a nursing home yesterday was published in the newspaper. It was Yan Qingxue in front of him who did it.

Not only did they film a piece about the charity performance, but they also followed Ye Chen all the way to the gate of the school, and recorded what Ye Chen said, and it was extremely powerful. I didn't find her at the time, and the main reason was this Yan Qingxue. It is more popular and does not attract people's attention, which is reasonable.

"That strict reporter, let's get down to business!"

Yan Qingxue smiled and said: "Well, what I really want to know is what you thought about the situation at that time. Although I was there only by accident, I even visited the surrounding citizens afterwards. They also told me about the situation at that time, don't you have any other thoughts about the situation of old man Hong Weiguo?"

Ye Chen looked at Yan Qingxue and said: "It's a lie to say that I didn't dare to think about it. With our current national conditions and the construction of the grassroots, it is a lie to say that there is no problem. The most common and most irritating thing is that the parents and officials at the grassroots level use their conscience to deduct the pension for the veterans. In the end, the numbers in the hands of the veterans will not be the final figures. This kind of thing, Not only because I have witnessed this incident, but on the other hand, because I am also a soldier, how could I not ignore this kind of incident, "

"Our old regiment leader is also an old soldier. After participating in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he took part in the counterattack against Vietnam. If I hadn't met Mr. Hong Weiguo yesterday, I wouldn't even have known that our captain's leg was broken during that mission. It wasn't a coincidence, nor was I making it up at will, my regiment leader's name is Wang Xuefeng, who used to be the regiment leader of Hong Weiguo, perhaps there is a slight connection between them, and our scene yesterday happened."

"Maybe saying these words will offend some people, but I still want to say that there are not many veterans left. Half a century has passed since the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. How many veterans are still living happily? In my opinion I know that there are still many veterans who are facing this kind of problem. Some of them are even old revolutionary comrades who participated in the Long March. They are the givers and creators of our current life. If we do this, can we be worthy of them and our own conscience? ?”

Yan Qingxue looked at Ye Chen and said very solemnly: "Student Ye Chen, are there really so many support issues for veterans you mentioned? Our country provides subsidies for veterans regardless of whether they have children or not. Are there many loopholes in this area?"

Ye Chen nodded and said: "Without a thorough understanding of this matter, it is impossible to know the living environment of veterans. As I said before, veterans with children are fine, but veterans without children who have never married For them, their lives are completely independent, especially after they get older, some are always confused, so a series of problems will arise."

"But this time about Mr. Hong Weiguo, from my personal point of view, I have great admiration for Mr. Hong. On his basis, in addition to his meager income every month, he also takes care of his own family. Old mother, no children. In the minds of veterans, there are many veterans. They know that in the past few years, the disasters caused too much trauma to the country, so they don't want to implicate the country. Some things are buried in themselves In his heart, he has to rely on his own hands to support his family again, so there is something about Mr. Hong?"

Yan Qingxue nodded and said: "Mr. Hong, I visited late at night yesterday. He is now living in the teahouse in Wangfujing, and was forced to stay there by the old man there. After contacting him, I also know that Mr. Hong Therefore, regarding this issue, the state lacks concern for the lives of veterans, and there is even a lack of relevant systems for widowed veterans. Regarding this aspect, we will put forward relevant opinions to relevant departments. Regarding the matter of nursing homes , I also hope that in the days to come, I can see it. Regarding the future of veterans, I don’t know Ye Chen, do you have any new ideas?”

Ye Chen took a deep breath and said: "For the issue of veterans, I think the country should set up a special committee on veterans, and strive to have relevant departments in every prefecture-level city conduct research on the veterans in the city, and focus on the elderly who are lonely and widowed." Or veterans whose children are away and unwilling to go back to their hometowns, and some distressed households report, and propose solutions accordingly. I believe our experts will propose a very detailed management plan. The support of veterans is a duty-bound one. I am now I think so, and I will think so in the future, so I hope the country can implement a systematic management method for veterans."

Yan Qingxue looked at Ye Chen and said, "From what you said, it reflects the local supervision, the loopholes in the system, and the psychology of the veterans, which lead to different results. Maybe there are many people like Mr. Hong Weiguo. There are many veterans who do not want to trouble the country, so they have fallen into a passive position; there are also local governments who deduct wages and cannot get effective supervision, etc. In my impression, the treatment of veterans of the Anti-Japanese War should not be too bad, but unexpectedly Is it different from what I thought?"

Ye Chen looked at Yan Qingxue and said with a smile: "Reporter Yan, you can't see much of these problems just by looking at them, but if you go, you will know that many things will appear naturally. , so it’s not that there are some problems, but that we didn’t notice them, but when we do, it might be a tragedy.”

From this, Ye Chen thought of those veterans in his previous life, lying alone in his room, not even knowing when they died, and just left like that. The former heroes ended up being ignored by no one, how could we not let them Heartache.

"Student Ye Chen, thank you for accepting my interview this time. Your words have inspired me. When I go back to catch up on this batch of manuscripts, I will go to the place to do some research and write a special article on veterans' problems." I also hope that the national department can pay attention to this matter.”

Ye Chen stood up, gave Yan Qingxue a military salute, and said, "Reporter Yan, on behalf of the veterans, I thank you. I hope your manuscript will attract the attention of relevant departments!"

"Don't worry! This is a very meaningful topic. I will do my job well. See you next time!"

"goodbye!"
