Urban Development Sketch Script

"The Story of Medical Insurance" tells the benefits of urban development and the important role it plays in people's lives. Time: Late one night Location: A certain hospital's inpatient charging hall Characters: Aunt, female, 60 years old, housewife nurse, female, in her 20s Lao Li, male, 50 years old, laid-off and re-employed Da Zhang, male, 40 years old Scene of the person in charge of the housekeeping company: On the back right side of the stage, there is a hospitalization fee display window. The warm light from the backlight illuminates the top of the window, "Hospitalization Fee Office", with five horizontal rows of red letters that are particularly eye-catching. Several small windows at the top of the flat chest are open; A row of sea-blue chairs is placed under the slogan "Heal the wounded and rescue the dying" on the rear left side. [With the rolling sound of thunder, the curtain opens. The aunt, who looked haggard and restless, sat on a chair and looked out the door from time to time. Later, she simply stood up and walked back and forth unsteadily. ] Auntie: [Monologue] Oh, it’s really like “when the house leaks, it rains in the middle of the night”. My Xiaogang is already in his thirties. After he was laid off last year, thanks to Zhang's help, he got another job. Just as he was trying to find a partner for him, he fell and was injured. The nurse brought me here just now and said that I needed to pay a deposit of 600 yuan first, but I only had more than 300 yuan. Thanks to her help, she called Da Zhang and said that Da Zhang would be here soon. [The nurse holds the medicine tray in her hand, and the aunt rushes to greet it. ] Nurse: Auntie, do you need my help with anything? Aunt: Nurse, my eyes are not working well. What time is it now? Nurse: [raises wrist and looks at watch] It's almost half past one. What's up? Auntie: Oh, it’s okay. I'm waiting for someone. [Nurse exits] Auntie: [Monologue] Oh, it’s already late at night, and I’m really sorry for causing trouble to others. Oh, it seems that Da Zhang is here. [Happily, he walked a few steps toward the entrance on the left and looked outside, then looked depressed] Auntie: Alas, it’s not Da Zhang who’s here, it’s the “sick cat” Lao Li. This old Li is not a big quarrel with my family, Xiao Gang. Last time we had a quarrel over the issue of Xiao Gang's unwillingness to pay. Oh, what is he doing here at this time? Could it be that he was hospitalized again? Are you here to ask me for money? [In a panic, he turns around to avoid it] Lao Li: [Confessing] Auntie, auntie! [Enter Lao Li. Panting, he held Auntie's hand] Lao Li: Auntie, how is Chen Gang's situation? Auntie: [The shock is just over] The doctor said that the right femur... the femur was comminuted fracture. Lao Li: Ah! ...But, aunt, you don’t have to worry. Xiaogang is young and strong, and with the good hospital equipment and high medical skills, Xiaogang will be fine in a month and a half at most. Auntie: But...it will cost a lot of money. The deposit for hospitalization is not enough right now, so where will I find medical expenses in the future? Lao Li: This...don't worry, aunt, our group of brothers will help you. Besides, we still have Dazhang. No, he called me and told me that my home was close to here and asked me to come to help first, and he would arrive soon. Auntie: Ah, I’m sorry to bother you, and there’s Dazhang. Da Zhang is a good person... Lao Li: That's right. Da Zhang is capable, honest and steady, and willing to help others... Last year, Xiaogang and I and a group of other brothers were laid off. You know that I am 50 years old and have no special skills. It is very difficult to find a job. Auntie: That’s absolutely right. At that time, my family, Xiaogang, was applying for jobs everywhere, but he always failed to meet their requirements. He really hit a wall everywhere. Lao Li: I also have an additional age limit, and I am an "older person who has difficulty finding employment." In addition, I am a "sick cat" who is half-dead. When people see me, most people cover their noses and quickly run away. Auntie: [Can't help laughing] This... Lao Li: [Excitedly] Fortunately, Da Zhang was careful, saw in his eyes, and was anxious in his heart. He searched for jobs for us over and over again. Later, he was willing to give up the generous treatment of his original employer and resign on his own initiative. Gather us together to form a housekeeping company, and we will be where we are today! Auntie: Yes, Xiaogang also told me that six months ago, Dazhang asked him to study in the electrician training class run by the "Employment Training Center". Now he is a certified electrician. Lao Li: Yes, yes, the "Employment Training Center" holds various vocational skills training classes all year round. Auntie: Various skill training classes? Lao Li: Yes, in addition to the electrician class that Xiaogang went to learn, there are also motorcycle maintenance classes, beauty and hairdressing classes, chef classes, etc. Oh, there are so many. Auntie: Hey, how much do I have to pay to study? Lao Li: It is free for laid-off workers like us to study.

Auntie: [Excitedly] Oh, the government is so good, the Communist Party is so good! Lao Li: Yes, Dazhang said, now that our country is committed to building a harmonious society, and the party and government care about us so much, we should seize the opportunity and learn skills for re-employment. Auntie: Yes, yes. Lao Li: [Looking a little proud] To be honest, nowadays, in our community, if there are "sick" motorcycles, they like to find me, the "sick cat", to help them treat them. Auntie: Yes, yes. Even I heard a lot of people praising you, saying that you are "a doctor who can cure a long-term illness"... Oh, no, no, it is "a doctor who can cure a long-term illness", that is to say...that is, how long has the car been broken down? You can all fix it. [Consciously embarrassed by spilling the beans] Lao Li: Auntie, you are right. It is true that "long-term illnesses can be cured." Because Dazhang asked us all to attend training. Now, like Xiaogang, I am also a "branded" motorcycle maintenance master. Unfortunately, the housekeeping company just started and I only made a little money. Auntie, here is 300 yuan. You can use it to make up the deposit. [Take out 300 yuan and forcefully give it to the aunt. The aunt backs away and refuses to accept it.] Auntie: No, no, no, I can’t take this money. Lao Li: [Urgent and ashamed] Auntie, I only have this little money right now. You can take it first, and I will come back tomorrow... Auntie: Lao Li, I appreciate your kindness. It's just that you...your body is not very strong. Lao Li: I... Auntie: [angry because the words didn’t convey what I wanted] Lao Li, don’t get me wrong, I just want to say that your money still needs to be put to use. Lao Li: Aunt... Aunt: [Nervously and embarrassedly] Listen to me, Lao Li, my Xiaogang got into trouble with you a while ago and called you a "sick cat". In fact, he didn't mean it. Don't go there. Think about it, didn’t you just say “build a harmonious society”? There are ancient sayings that "harmony is the most valuable" and "harmony brings wealth". Lao Li: [Looking anxiously] Auntie, listen to me. In fact, that time I contradicted Xiaogang, we brothers wanted to mobilize him to pay some money and participate in medical insurance. Auntie: [Suddenly enlightened] Oh - it turns out that you asked Xiaogang to pay money that time because you wanted to help him get insurance. I thought... Lao Li, I'm so sorry. When I saw you coming just now, I thought you... thought you were coming to me asking for money, so I wanted to avoid you. Lao Li: [self-deprecatingly] Sigh - I thought my "sick cat" was scaring people again! Auntie: Where? Oh, just now you said you wanted Xiaogang to participate in medical insurance? Lao Li: Yes, Auntie, please sit down and let me tell you - [Knowing that Auntie intentionally changed the subject, she hesitated for a moment, put the money back in her pocket, and helped Auntie sit on the chair with both hands] Lao Li: Medical insurance means that units and individuals pay insurance premiums of 4.7% and 2% of the total wages of employees in the previous year respectively. Auntie: I only pay 2% personally. Isn’t that just 2 yuan for 100 yuan? It’s not much. Lao Li: Yes. The company helped pay 4.7%. Take me for example, I only need to pay about 100 yuan a year, and I can get more than 200 yuan for outpatient treatment. Not long ago, the cost of my hospitalization was nearly 10,000 yuan, but I only had to pay about 2,000 yuan. Auntie: That’s good. Alas, Chen Gang is really stupid for not taking out this medical insurance! Lao Li: We tried our best to persuade him at first, but he believed that he was strong, not sick or in pain, and did not want to bring trouble on himself. Auntie: [poorly] What an idiot! With only a hundred yuan a year, even if you are not sick or in trouble, you can still help those who are sick, not to mention that "people have three declines and six prosperity." Alas, now the old saying comes true. The doctor said that he might need bone replantation surgery. How much would it cost? Alas, I really don't know what to do. Lao Li: Alas... [The two of them were dejected and relatively speechless. After a burst of thunder, the wind and rain increased from light to heavy. Just when the two of them were extremely anxious, Da Zhang, with wet hair and clothes, came up with a small leather bag. ] Da Zhang: Auntie, Lao Li! [Auntie and Lao Li raised their heads when they heard the sound, stood up quickly, and stepped forward to greet them. Auntie looked at Da Zhang with emotion, stretched out her trembling hand, and lifted up the wet hair that was hanging on his forehead. Her words were choked with sobs] ] Auntie: Da Zhang... Da Zhang: Auntie, don't worry, big things can happen. We're carrying it. [The aunt nodded vigorously, but finally couldn't help wiping her tears with her sleeves. Lao Li also burst into tears and turned away. Dazhang first gently patted the aunt's trembling shoulders, then took out a wad of money and a dark green medical certificate from her purse] Dazhang: Lao Li, come, please take this money and pay the deposit first.

Lao Li: [Received the money and medical certificate, opened his eyes in surprise, looked at the medical certificate again and again, and then looked overjoyed] Da Zhang, how come Xiaogang has a medical certificate? Da Zhang: If you join medical insurance, you will get a medical certificate. Auntie: [looking at Da Zhang and Lao Li in turn in confusion] Da Zhang, Lao Li, doesn’t my Xiaogang not have medical insurance? Da Zhang: Auntie, Lao Li, look at me like a drowned rat. Isn’t it just what the old people often say - "I don’t have an umbrella with me at ordinary times, but I have to go out and be exposed to the rain in an emergency"? This is called "Unexpected events occur in the sky, and misfortunes and blessings occur overnight." Is it okay not to participate in medical insurance? [Old Li couldn't help laughing when he saw this. Auntie walked up to Dazhang excitedly and choked with sobs] Auntie: Dazhang... Dazhang: Auntie, don't worry, I'm fine. Taking a step back, even if we get into trouble, the big family of society will extend a warm hand to help us, because all employees of our company have participated in medical insurance, so for Xiaogang’s injury, our doctor If you can afford it, you can get good medical treatment. Lao Li: [sudden realization] Oh, I understand. Last time when you were helping Xiaogang apply for a work permit, you asked me to ask him for an extra photo. It turned out that you were applying for a medical certificate for him. [Dazhang nods with a smile. Auntie gratefully stepped forward and took Da Zhang’s hand] Auntie: Da Zhang, you are so kind! I, an old woman, really don’t know how to thank you! Lao Li: Auntie, Da Zhang not only helped us with medical insurance, but also helped us with pension insurance. Auntie: Great! Get pension insurance to provide for your future. Just like me, I have a pension of more than 500 yuan every month. Da Zhang, you are so considerate for them! [Looking cheerfully. Dazhang is a little embarrassed] Dazhang: Auntie, you’re flattered. Participating in medical insurance and pension insurance is a great thing that benefits the country and the people, and it is a natural thing for our company to do. Oh, look at me, I was just talking and almost forgot about the real thing. Lao Li, go pay the fee and go through the formalities quickly. Auntie and I will go visit Xiaogang first. Auntie, Lao Li: OK! [Music of "Devotion of Love" starts. Curtain falls]——The end of the play
