Chapter 3926
It takes more than one cold day for the river to freeze three feet deep!
Their credibility was ruined by themselves.
Several charitable organizations with official backgrounds collectively lost their voices for a time and couldn't make any powerful response to the Xinhuo Foundation's statement, which made the public even more disappointed in them. Consequently, more of their donations chose the Xinhuo Foundation, and the donations received by these charitable organizations with official backgrounds combined were not even half as much as the Xinhuo Foundation.
These charitable organizations, of course, all hated the Xinhuo Foundation to death, but they had no way to deal with the Xinhuo Foundation. Firstly, the Xinhuo Foundation was backed by the Yu family, and secondly, the Xinhuo Foundation did everything uprightly. People didn't rely on this to get rich. On this point, they didn't know how many streets they had left these charitable organizations with official backgrounds behind.
Although there were people smearing the Xinhuo Foundation on the internet, they didn't have real evidence. Relying on hearsay, how could they shake the status of the Xinhuo Foundation? Now the things the Xinhuo Foundation had done for the disaster area were real. Their supplies were sent to the disaster area in dozens of trucks, and now many disaster victims were relying on these relief supplies to survive.
Most importantly, reporters reported that in the previous few years, the Xinhuo Foundation had been building earthquake-resistant public schools in various counties and townships in Chuanxi Province, and had already built hundreds of such schools. In this Chuanxi earthquake, these schools performed very well.
Not a single school building in these schools collapsed completely. Even those that collapsed only partially collapsed, and the main buildings were very sturdy and would not cause serious harm to the people inside the school buildings.
Therefore, among the hundreds of schools built by the Xinhuo Foundation this time, only a few teachers and students suffered minor injuries, and one child died because his head was hit by a concrete block. The other teachers and students were all safe and sound.
The performance of these earthquake-resistant public schools was shocking, which also showed that the Xinhuo Foundation was doing charity in a real way. The earthquake-resistant public schools they built were of very high quality. Only by donating money to such a charitable foundation could people be at ease.
Therefore, as soon as these remarks smearing the Xinhuo Foundation came out, they were criticized by the vast number of netizens and pointed out as internet trolls for those charitable organizations with official backgrounds. Their IDs were stinking for a time, like rats crossing the street, everyone shouting to beat them. Over time, they never dared to show their heads again.
Corresponding to the Xinhuo Foundation's earthquake-resistant public schools, there were several public schools built by charitable organizations with official backgrounds. The performance of these public schools in the earthquake was not satisfactory. Their teaching buildings and dormitories collapsed like matchboxes, and their teachers and students suffered heavy casualties.
And the photos subsequently released by Hanhai Net pushed these public schools to the forefront. In these photos, the steel bars exposed in the twisted concrete components of the collapsed buildings of those public schools were very thin and clearly did not meet the standards. It was obvious at a glance that they must have cut corners.
For a time, those charitable organizations with official backgrounds were scolded severely, and even the families of the dead and injured teachers and students threatened to take them to court, because it was their public schools with cut corners that caused their loved ones to lose their lives.
With such a comparison, how could everyone not believe in the Xinhuo Foundation? And how could they trust those charitable organizations with official backgrounds?
Just like this, in just two days, the donations received by the Xinhuo Foundation exceeded one billion yuan, and the donated supplies received were several times that number. They would use these donations and supplies for the current disaster relief work in the disaster area and the post-disaster reconstruction work.
In the rolling news of this day, the interview with Su Xinghui by the CCTV film crew in Xingfu County was also broadcast. The photo Su Xinghui showed the reporter, and the cute infant in the TV lens, made countless people shed tears, and countless people were moved by that great mother.
The photo taken by Su Xinghui became the most famous photo in all of China for a time. Anyone who had seen this photo would be moved by it and would also be worried about this cute infant. Many people, when donating money and supplies, specifically wrote that these money and supplies were to be donated to the surviving infant in Xingfu County.
In addition to the interview with Su Xinghui, countless moving deeds emerged in this major earthquake. In every disaster area, such deeds were constantly happening. These deeds were touching, yet so ordinary.
In the camera lens, people saw the soldiers and civilians participating in the rescue. Because many people used their hands to move those concrete components, or even to dig those muds, their hands were worn bloody, but they still continued to dig as if they couldn't feel the pain.
People saw the rescue team members who hadn't rested for dozens of hours lying on the side of the road and falling asleep just like that. They were really too tired.
People also saw the medical personnel who had been performing surgeries for over ten hours, rescuing the wounded, sweating profusely, and unable to stand straight, yet still performing surgeries with concentration.
People also saw the rescue team members, according to the guidance of the life detector, finally rescuing a survivor, but the survivor died in front of the rescue team members due to excessive injuries, and the rescue team members cried bitterly.
There was also a young father whose wife and child were both buried in his own home. He drove a motorcycle back home from Shudu where he worked like a madman, and then dug the concrete components piled up like a small mountain with his bare hands like a madman. With the help of machinery, those concrete components were moved away one by one, and he finally saw his wife and child, but only saw two sets of remains.
This young father was stunned for a long time, then suddenly cried heart-rendingly. That crying was unbearable to hear. No matter who heard his crying, they would have to shed a tear of sorrow for him on the side.
But what was most moving was that after this young man cried for a long time, he wiped away his tears, turned around, and joined the rescue team to rescue other survivors. When interviewed by reporters, he only said one sentence: he was already very sad, and he couldn't bear to see others as sad as him.
These real shots were very cruel and unbearable to look at, but the audience couldn't take their eyes off these shots. These real deeds also gave them strength and gave the Chinese people huge cohesion.
Perhaps this is the truth of "disasters make a nation thrive." Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has suffered countless traumas and experienced countless huge disasters, but for thousands of years, the Chinese nation has never been defeated by these disasters. They have become more courageous after setbacks, persevering, and to this day, they still stand in the forest of world nations.
It can be said that this Chuanxi earthquake made the whole nation united as one, and everyone worked together.
However, there were also some people who didn't have such feelings at all. They didn't deserve to exist as Chinese people.
For example, Tian Xiaotao was one of them. On this day, he sat in front of the TV with his brother Tian Xiaopeng and Cui Wenbin watching the news. While watching the news, he made wild remarks, saying this was too stupid, that was too foolish. These remarks of his made Cui Wenbin shake his head secretly.
Suddenly, Su Xinghui's image appeared in the news. The reporter interviewed Su Xinghui, and Su Xinghui showed that photo. Tian Xiaotao suddenly looked like he had seen an enemy, his eyes extremely red.
Tian Xiaotao said, "This xx, he only knows how to show off. He is already a mayor, yet he still leads a rescue team to the disaster area to rescue. If this isn't for showing off, what is it for? The TV keeps giving him shots. Isn't this because he has a good father-in-law?"
Speaking of this, Tian Xiaotao scolded Su Xinghui endlessly, scolding for several minutes in a row. Even after Su Xinghui's shot had passed, he was still scolding.
Tian Xiaopeng frowned slightly and said, "Alright, stop scolding. To be honest, there are really some places where we are not as good as him. Going to the disaster area is still very dangerous. We are all pampered, who is willing to take this risk?"
Tian Xiaotao said, "Danger is just right. I wish he would encounter another earthquake there and get buried too. Only then would my hatred be resolved."
Tian Xiaopeng also shook his head secretly. Of course, he also hated Su Xinghui, but he considered himself to have quality and wouldn't say such low-quality words like Tian Xiaotao. No matter how much he hated Su Xinghui, he wouldn't scold him publicly. After all, he was now a deputy secretary of the municipal party committee of a city.
Although his progress speed was much slower compared to Su Xinghui, in the current cadre team where the age is generally relatively old, it could still be considered relatively prominent.
Cui Wenbin smiled and said, "I think Xiaotao makes sense. He probably just went to the disaster area to put on a show and show off to build momentum for himself. He must be protecting himself very well."
Tian Xiaotao seemed to have heard the words of a soulmate. He nodded and said, "Right, Old Cui is right. He must just be putting on a show. Can he really go to rescue people? I think that photo must be staged. Someone else rescued the person and called him to take the photo."
Tian Xiaopeng said, "Alright, no matter what, you must not say such things outside."
Tian Xiaotao and Cui Wenbin nodded together and said, "We know. Of course, we won't say such things outside." ===== CHAPTER 3928 =====
