What has Gansu gained in the western development?

What does this land, which occupies one-eighth of the motherland's territory, bear and contain? There are sons and daughters of dozens of nationalities here, either farming, herding sheep, doing business, mining or working. Thousands of years of bloody battles have long been washed away by the surging Yellow River and Weishui River. Thousands of years of historical vicissitudes have long been covered by the fragrance of red deer, blue pheasant, blood pheasant and forest musk deer on Qilian Mountain. Gansu people, no matter what nationality or religious belief, are eager for equal development opportunities and space in their hometown. The development of the western region, a slogan that once inspired us, even the slogan of the development of the western region was posted on the roadside of the town for a while. Once told us that unprecedented development opportunities are coming to us; Once told us to overcome and endure temporary losses and difficulties, because long-term happiness belongs to us; Once told us that the buried resources will never become money; We are told that large-scale infrastructure construction will drive the employment of Gansu people; We are told that long pipelines will send oil and natural gas to the mainland, and long pipelines will also send a lot of taxes to Gansu people ... once ... what kind of place is Gansu? A trickle will send snow water from Qilian Mountain and mountain villages to residents' farms. Looking around, there are large forests and cattle and sheep everywhere ... Gansu is such a place, oasis agriculture, where we don't rely on the weather to eat, and drought and flood guarantee the harvest; Alpine meadow animal husbandry, we are not worried that if it doesn't rain for a month, the grassland will die of drought. There has never been a flood in Gansu, and many mainlanders came to Gansu during the flood. This is the case in Gansu. Where there is land, there is water, and where there is hope, there is hope. We feel that we are living happily. However, suddenly one day, people told us that if they came to help us, our life would get better and better! At this time, we are grateful, and we are awakened and excited from that calm and peaceful life, because we are told that there is greater hope! ..... it's been eight years. Where are the people who dream of a beautiful blueprint for us? Please come and have a look at the development of western Gansu. What is this? Resources, including those of strategic significance, were sent to the coastal areas through that long pipeline. We don't care about this, but what do we get? Employment opportunities? Look at those enterprises engaged in energy development in Gansu, aren't they all big enterprises in the mainland? Our children in Gansu have never enjoyed such employment opportunities. For children from Gansu and Xinjiang who graduated from Xi 'an Petroleum Institute, it is even more difficult to work in an oil company in Gansu. Because these well-paid jobs are occupied by employees of these mainland enterprises, you can go to an oil and petrochemical company to listen to them. There are Beijing, Northeast and Shandong dialects everywhere, but there is no Gansu dialect. Can our children in Gansu find jobs in oil companies? It is not impossible, but it is also a basic professional counterpart: gas stations refuel cars and drive the development of related industries? You know, the west-to-east gas transmission is produced in Baoji. Is the living standard high? Do you know the natural gas price in Shanghai? One yuan and two yuan; Do you know how much natural gas there is in Gansu? One dollar and twenty-five cents. And do you know what the salary level of Xinjiang people is? A senior Chinese teacher who has been teaching for 30 years has a monthly salary of only 2,500 yuan, which is still the salary after the salary increase in 2006; A 50-year-old official-level cadre has only 3000 yuan a month plus subsidies. What about ordinary people? What about workers, farmers and ordinary civil servants? We are digesting the huge scissors gap, and we are paying for the great development of the East in obscurity. Changqing-the leading city of Yumen, let's listen to the stories of the people in these two cities. Yumen, a big city with a population of hundreds of thousands, has a problem that has long plagued people's lives: it is difficult to take a taxi. During the rush hour, people often stand in the cold of MINUS 20 degrees and can't get a taxi for half an hour. If you ask 100 drivers, 99 drivers will tell you: gas stations are waiting in line to refuel! This is the place where oil is produced. Why is there a shortage of oil? Comrades of Lanzhou Petrochemical Company will tell you patiently: Gansu compatriots, bear with it. The oil and natural gas in Gansu must meet the needs of the west-to-east gas pipeline and inland cities ... When taxis in Beijing are replaced by Elantra with large displacement, when pure blue stoves come out of the kitchens of Shanghai residents, please think about it, Gansu people who produce oil and natural gas are still standing in the cold wind; Drivers in Gansu are still waiting in line endlessly. These drivers have to eat, buy a house and send their children to school. The time they could have saved was wasted waiting ... it was just energy. What about other resources? What about gold? What about the potassium salt? Where is the jade? Who has the money for large-scale development? Eight years have passed since the development of the western region. Why do we only see a resource project launched, but rarely see the support and input of science, education, culture and health personnel? To develop a region, resources are a way; But what about the exploitation of resources? What else can we have? Without the accumulation of science, education and talents, how much room for development? Did you ever know that students in the history department of Lanzhou University could not find such a common book as Fifteen Years of Wanli in the school library? Do you know that there is no formal library or museum in Longxi County, the first county in China? Big cities are like this. What about small cities and rural areas? Why do we seldom see such projects and investments in the western development? Gansu people, honest Gansu people, are always called savage and ignorant Gansu people by outsiders ... so they silently bear everything ... Think about it from another angle, what if taxi drivers in Beijing wait in line all day and can't get gas? If farmers in Shandong lose their land in batches, just like farmers in Gansu, will they still bear everything silently? A chemical plant with serious pollution was slowly built on this land, and all the relatives and friends around me fell down ... Ask the reason, either lung cancer or esophageal cancer. Tianshui, Gansu Province is a famous hometown of longevity. People who have lived in the vast rural areas for generations breathe fresh air and eat whole grains, and there is no trace of modern industry around them. How do they get cancer one after another? Do you know it's in Tianshui and Lanzhou? However, why has an area that has become the hardest hit by cancer because of long-term pollution never been reported, and no one has ever directly answered this question? After a nuclear test, the people of China stood up and were not threatened by paper tigers. However, thousands of innocent and ignorant Gansu people in Qian Qian fell. Sadly, they don't even know what this is for, let alone others. I have been to the south, and the construction sites in the city are full of Gansu people. China, a high-rise building in this land, has no sweat from Gansu people and no sweat from Gansu people. When those city people are enjoying everything, do you know what we Gansu people are doing? We are worried about eating this meal. If we get sick, what can we do to treat it? As long as everything useful to the motherland has been taken away from Gansu, disaster has come to Gansu ... Gansu is an inalienable part of the motherland's territory; Gansu people are part of1300 million China people. We long for the prosperity of the motherland, and we also hope that the people of other provinces and cities will prosper. However, we are human beings, and we also have low requirements: Gansu people can get fair and just development opportunities, benefit from the treasures endowed by this land, have a better tomorrow, and, like the people of the motherland, still have hope after resources are exhausted. Dear friends, no matter where you are in the motherland, when you enjoy peace in this sunshine, please remember those Gansu people who are ignorant of disasters for the sake of peace in the motherland and say to them: I'm sorry ... our requirements are not high. Ten million Gansu people still need to make sacrifices for the long-term development of the east when they are unable to change the status quo and the overall situation. They just need sincere respect from others and just want to hear a sincere: Gansu people, I'm sorry, thank you.
