Bingu Yangtze River Bridge is the largest and highest bridge among the dozens of bridges built on the Yangtze River in China in recent years. It is also the closest to the Yangtze River Estuary!

The river here is wide open, huge ships shuttle around, and it is quite difficult to build a bridge.

The total length of the bridge is 32.4 kilometers, of which the cross-river bridge is 8,146 meters long and the main bridge span is 1,088 meters. It is the largest span cable-stayed bridge in the world. It has created four world records for the deepest foundation, tallest tower, longest cable, and largest main span, representing the highest level of bridge construction technology in the world.

This bridge, which Chinese bridge builders are proud of, has been looking forward to a grand opening ceremony.

As far as Jiangnan Province is concerned, when the Jiangcheng Yangtze River Bridge was completed forty years ago, the whole country celebrated with great excitement; when the Jiangyin Yangtze River Bridge was completed, the then General Secretary S personally attended the opening ceremony; he went to Yangzhou to celebrate the completion of the Runyang Bridge. During the opening ceremony, national leaders also made a special trip to attend the opening ceremony.

Therefore, when this world-class bridge, which is larger than ever before, stands at the mouth of the Yangtze River, everyone from the bridge builders to the cadres of local party and government departments on both sides of the bridge to the people on both sides of the river are looking forward to a grand opening ceremony, and for this Carefully prepared.

In fact, the bridge was closed in June last year and was basically completed by the end of the year.

From March this year to now, there have been constant media reports about the upcoming grand opening ceremony. But by May, leaders at all levels were busy with earthquake relief in Xichuan, and the scheduled Olympic torch relay across the river had quietly arrived.

When the torchbearers ran across the bridge holding the Olympic torch, the people of Binjiang saw the majestic panoramic view of the bridge for the first time on TV. Before that, the transportation department had quietly removed the roadblocks and started trial operation. The daily throughput of vehicles has increased from more than 7,000 at the beginning of the trial to 26,000 currently.

Watching the leader's motorcade leave under the guidance of a police car, Wu Guoqun felt mixed emotions.

He and his team have been preparing for this day for a whole year.

In the past year, he and his team members have come up with more than a dozen celebration plans and even prepared a grand evening party to celebrate the bridge's official opening to traffic. However, all previous preparations were in vain.

The relevant departments reminded that the just-concluded traffic opening event was not a "ceremony" but a brief "event". Held at the North Bridge Toll Station, it took less than twenty minutes from start to finish. The leaders of the Ministry of Transport and the provincial leaders who attended the "event" did not even speak. They just cut the ribbon and this world-famous bridge was "officially opened to traffic"!

"Bureau Wu, the leaders have all left, and it's time for me to go back." Han Xiangning, who was invited to come back to attend the traffic opening "event", came over and said goodbye.

Comrade Lao Wu came to his senses and said with a wry smile: "Han Bureau, it seems that Bingu Yangtze River Bridge has set another record."

Han Xiangning asked subconsciously: "What record?"

"It created the record of the simplest opening ceremony of a major project construction in Jiangnan Province and even across the country." Comrade Lao Wu sighed and said with emotion: "But it also reflects the simplicity and frugality of the central and provincial and municipal leaders in the context of earthquake relief. demonstration."

Han Xiangning reacted and said with deep understanding: "If there had not been a big earthquake in Xichuan, the opening ceremony would have been a grand ceremony."

"If I had known that there would be a major earthquake in Xichuan, why would I have bothered? I have been working in vain for a whole year, and I feel aggrieved just thinking about it."

"If we had known earlier that there would be an earthquake in Xichuan, it would not have caused so many casualties."

"That's true, who knew a natural disaster would happen."

"Director Wu, please be busy first. I'll go say hello to Director Li and leave."

"Leaving today?"

"Xianyu is so busy that he can't go home every once in a while. If I don't go back quickly, who will study Hanhan?"

"Then how do you plan to leave?"

"Take the bus. Most of the passengers from here go to Donghai. It's very convenient."

Han Xiangning walked over and said hello to Deputy Director Li and other leaders, then got on a bus and left.

Comrade Lao Wu watched Han Xiangning go and realized that he should do something serious next. After all, he was not only the chief planner of the "activities" for the opening of the bridge to traffic, but he was also the deputy inspector of the Changhang Public Security Bureau and the director of the Changhang Binjiang Branch.

He adjusted his mood and rushed to the bridge management office to discuss the handover of the former bridge construction headquarters office building with the person in charge of the management office. Then he returned to the bureau and held a party committee meeting to study and deploy the relocation plan.

In fact, no deliberate research is required.

Members of the leadership team of the branch office building of the headquarters have all been there. They have already discussed which office will be used for what purpose in the future. The only thing left to do is to determine the date of the move. At the same time, the telecommunications department and the superior technical department must be contacted to move the phone lines and the public security intranet. In addition, they contacted the media to issue an announcement to let the public know that the Changhang Branch has moved.

After studying the matter of moving, Sheng Baocheng, the political commissar who assisted Comrade Lao Wu in the daily work of the branch, talked about supporting the Xichuan earthquake relief work.

"Bureau Wu, everyone, Lao Xu called me this morning, saying that their rescue mission has been completed, and their superiors asked them to return early tomorrow morning. Mr. Xu also received the notice, and he called before the meeting to ask, When the comrades who participated in the rescue and disaster relief come back, will there be a welcome ceremony?"

To support earthquake relief, the Changhang Branch also participated.

The fire brigade and Binjiang Port Enterprise Fire Brigade have rich rescue experience. The day after the earthquake, the branch office, in accordance with the unified deployment of the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Transport Public Security Bureau, asked the fire brigade leader Lao Xu to lead the Binjiang Port Enterprise Fire Brigade to carry various demolition and rescue equipment and rush to Xichuan for rescue with the officers and soldiers of the Armed Police Binjiang Fire Brigade.

The comrades went there for nearly a month, and all those who could be rescued were rescued. Those who could not be rescued had little chance of survival, and there was no point in searching in the ruins collapsed by the earthquake.

Comrade Lao Wu felt particularly heavy-hearted when he thought of the series of casualties. He was silent for a long time before he looked up and asked, "What about the Linghai Reserve Battalion? Is there any news about the Linghai Reserve Battalion?"

"I called to ask," Sheng Baocheng lit a cigarette and reported, "The mission of the Linghai Reserve Battalion ended yesterday afternoon, and the reserve officers and soldiers who participated in the operation returned yesterday afternoon. Xu Guan and General Manager Zhang will lead the comrades of the rescue company to return early tomorrow morning, but General Manager Sun and the employees of the Linghai Road and Bridge Company will not return."

"Why not?"

"The roads and bridges they repaired before have many safety hazards, and they will have to The roads and bridges leading to the disaster area were reinforced. In addition, the superiors asked Binjiang to support the reconstruction of the disaster area. Since reconstruction is needed, a construction team is needed. Linghai Road and Bridge Company is very familiar with the situation in the disaster area and has so many construction machinery, so of course it has to stay and participate in the reconstruction. "

Old Dong put out his cigarette butt and added: "Director Wu, I contacted Director Qin this morning. Director Qin said that the municipal party committee decided to let him stay in the disaster area and be fully responsible for the subsequent support and reconstruction work. Director Qin also said that Ge Diao has returned and handed over all the unspent donations of more than 5 million yuan to him before returning. "

Donations from other units are donated to institutions such as the Red Cross.

The "shareholders" of Linghai Reserve Camp, such as the Changhang Branch, Binjiang Maritime Bureau, Binjiang Customs, and Binjiang Port Group, remitted all the donations from cadres and employees to Linghai Reserve Camp. It's not that they don't trust charitable organizations such as the Red Cross. The main consideration is that Linghai Reserve Camp is on the front line of rescue, and remittances to Linghai Reserve Camp can put everyone's donations to the right place.

Because of this, the Linghai Reserve Battalion was very "generous" in the rescue work in Xichuan this time, and there was no need to worry about the funds. Although the money spent in the past month was like water, there was still more than 5 million left in the account until the mission was completed.

But now we have to consider not the unspent charity money.

Comrade Lao Wu thought about it and asked: "Have you called the city? Do you know what the city's plan is? After all, it is not just our Changhang Branch that went to Xichuan this time. The special police of the Municipal Bureau also went, and later sent a medical team to the disaster area."

"I called the Municipal Party Committee Office," Sheng Baocheng said quickly: "Yang Ke from the Municipal Party Committee Office said that the city leaders have not had time to study how to welcome the comrades who supported the rescue and disaster relief back."

The city leaders were busy studying how to better support the rescue in Xichuan some time ago, and they were busy with the "activity" of the opening of the Yangtze River Bridge these days. It is conceivable that they will have to study how to support the reconstruction of the disaster area next. It is normal that they have no time to study any welcoming of the hard-working rescue personnel back.

Thinking about today's opening "event" which was so simple that it took less than 20 minutes, and the leaders of the ministry and the province did not even speak, Comrade Lao Wu weighed the pros and cons and said: "The earthquake caused so many deaths, and it is a time of national mourning. It is inappropriate for us to decorate with lights and beat drums to welcome the comrades back."

"But we can't do nothing, otherwise the comrades will definitely have some ideas."

"In the past month, we only saw some reports about casualties in the news. The things they saw and experienced in the front line of rescue, we who are in the rear can't imagine at all, and I believe that the comrades will not care about those."

Comrade Lao Wu Zhi paused, then continued: "Besides, it is not appropriate to hold a grand ceremony, but we can hold a small welcoming ceremony internally. No publicity, no reports, no gongs and drums, comrades will definitely understand."

"Keep a low profile and hold it internally?"

"Well, you can discuss with General Manager Xu how to do it specifically. I only have one suggestion, that during the welcoming ceremony, there should be a collective standing up and a moment of silence for the compatriots who died in the earthquake."

"Yes."

"By the way, our old employee Zhu Baogen also went. We can't stop treating him as one of our own just because he retired."

"Don't worry, Director Wu, I will invite Lao Zhu to participate when the time comes."

As he was talking, Sheng Baocheng's cell phone rang.

He looked at the caller ID, said it was from the customs, and pressed the call button to answer it.

Unexpectedly, several leaders of the customs were also asking about how to welcome Xu Mingyuan and other comrades who participated in the rescue. Wu Guoqun weighed the pros and cons and simply proposed to contact the leaders of Linghai City and the Binjiang Maritime Bureau, suggesting that several units on the river should organize it together. Anyway, there are not many people going to Xichuan for disaster relief this time.

The main force of the rescue and relief in Linghai returned to the local construction, and then they will participate in the reconstruction. The "main force" will not come back for a while. Secretary Qian of Linghai thought that Comrade Lao Wu's suggestion was feasible. He not only agreed to do it together, but also assumed the expenses required for the small welcome ceremony.
