No matter how chaotic Yuezhou was, Chen Xia carried his unique extra-large backpack and headed to the Wangshu area of Qinghai alone.
Wangshuzhou is located at the southernmost tip of Qinghai. It used to be Nagqu and Chamdo in Tibet. Its area is about the size of three Zhijiang provinces, but its population is only more than 300,000.
With a population of more than 300,000, it is still less than the urban population of Yuezhou. It can be imagined that this ghost place is basically a large area of uninhabited area, and the conditions are extremely harsh.
In 1988, only the regional headquarters in Qinghai had some modern buildings. The rest were either uninhabited areas or primitive villages, and there were even many tents. Cows and sheep could be seen when the wind blew the grass low.
Wait, where does the grass come from in winter? There are snow-capped mountains everywhere at this time.
Chen Xia changed to the latest model of Land Cruiser LC76, which is military green. This car is perfect for driving in the snowy area. Anyway, this place is like an adventure and there is not even an asphalt road.
In order to ensure that there are replacement parts if something breaks down, he simply bought five cars at once, and when he needs a part, he can just disassemble one car.
Remember, this time we "bought" them, not "borrowed" them. They were all "purchased" from Hainan Island, and the price is not expensive. Ahem, it seems that they were not imported legally.
He first flew from Lin'an to Xining, and then drove from Xining to Wang Shuzhou. The entire journey was 900 kilometers, and it took him almost 7 days to arrive.
I got lost several times because the road disappeared while I was walking. It's weird, right? The road disappeared.
Then Chen Xia could only wait foolishly for a passing car or ask the Tibetans nearby for directions. It was really killing him.
Fortunately, the expected altitude sickness did not appear. If he had developed pulmonary edema, he might have lost his life here alone.
So after arriving in Yushu Prefecture, he did not report to the provincial government, but found the best local guesthouse and fell asleep. He was too tired.
He was sleeping soundly, but the director of the guesthouse, Qiangba, was about to vomit blood. It was really because the SUV that Chen Xia drove was too cool.
There are not even many cars in the entire Wangshu area these days, so where have you seen such a luxurious off-road vehicle?
So almost all the residents of Yushu city came to watch the fun.
Really everyone in the urban area came. Wangshu, a large state, has only more than 300,000 people, which is divided into 6 counties. In the urban area of Wangshu, there are actually less than 20,000 people.
This gossipy heart knows no nationality.
Qiangba was almost going crazy. There were so many people facing the car, some wanted to touch it, some wanted to knock on it, and some even wanted to climb onto the roof to take a look.
If this car was damaged in his guesthouse, even if he sold it, his entire family wouldn't be able to pay for the compensation.
So he had to call all the staff out and set up a cordon around the area. Everyone had to look outside the line and no one was allowed to get close.
As a result, not only did the common people come to see the peep show, but even many local officials from Wangshu came to watch the fun.
This place is too remote and backward. Apart from the state radio station, no signals from the outside world can be received.
So a little bit of news can become a topic of conversation for people here after dinner for several days.
Others wouldn't let him touch her, but when the State Party Secretary Huang Zhong and Governor Tsewang Lhamo came, how could Qiangba refuse to touch her? Does this guesthouse director want to quit his job?
Huang Zhong and Ci Wang Jie Mu circled the car several times, marveling at it while their minds raced.
Anyone who can drive this car must be either rich or noble, and not just ordinary noble. Who on earth has come to Wang Shu? What's their purpose?
I have to say that the two leaders are quite vigilant and consider issues differently from ordinary people.
Chen Xia woke up and felt a little hungry, so he got up and ran to the window to look out. Wow, why are there so many people outside?
I saw a large group of people surrounding his car, pushing and shoving, all trying to get a good position to see it more closely.
Chen Xia did not stop them. If they wanted to look, they could look. It wouldn't break anything, and he wouldn't feel bad if it really broke. Anyway, he had several cars parked in the space hospital, so he could still have them if it broke.
He looked around unconsciously, feeling only one word: "poor"
Anyway, there are not many concrete houses in sight. Even the state government compound is a bungalow. Most of the people's homes are still made of mud walls.
Not far away are the rolling snow-capped mountains.
Chen Xia didn't feel it was hard either. He brought all the daily necessities and food to his space hospital, including food, drinks, clothes and toys, which were enough to support his living needs for a year.
But it's really hard to do anything in this kind of hellish place.
Huang Zhong and Ciwang Lamu were about to leave after watching the excitement when they saw a young man in a down jacket walking out of the guesthouse, so they stopped.
Chen Xia was the only one wearing a down jacket at the scene. It was still snowing in January 1989, and it was freezing cold. He even ate several pieces of chocolate before coming out.
As cadres, the aura of those in power is there, and people will never ignore them.
Chen Xia asked, "Director Qiangba, who are these two?"
"Comrade Chen, this is our Secretary Huang, and this is Governor Ciwang."
Chen Xia saw that they were the two heads of the family, so he quickly went up to them, took off his gloves and shook hands with them.
"Hello, Secretary Huang, hello, Governor Ciwang. My name is Chen Xia, and I'm from Zhijiang Province. I'm here to serve as the director of Wang Shuzhou People's Hospital."
Don't look at Wang Shu's poverty, his rank is not low. The state government is at the bureau level, and Wang Shuzhou People's Hospital is a formal division-level unit.
Huang Zhong and Ciwang Lamu were also shocked. This young man looked less than 30 years old, yet he was already a director-level official? And he was the head of the hospital.
In everyone's impression, shouldn't the director of a hospital be an old man with a white beard? Why is there such a little guy here?
But on the surface, the two of them remained calm and shook hands enthusiastically:
"Welcome, welcome. Comrade Chen is truly young and promising. It's just that the conditions here are difficult. I hope Comrade Chen won't despise me."
"No, no, both of you leaders are able to take root at the grassroots level and serve the people. I want to learn from you and will do my best to serve the people well."
Hehehe~~~
Chen Xia suddenly remembered something, opened the car door directly, took out a pack of Hongtashan cigarettes from inside, opened it immediately, and distributed it to everyone around him.
The best way for men to communicate is to "start with cigarettes and alcohol". Spread cigarettes around, light them up, and everyone puffs away, and the relationship between them immediately becomes closer.
Although Huang Zhong and Ciwang Lamu were big leaders, it was difficult for them to smoke such good cigarettes, so they happily took the cigarettes and smelled them before smoking.
Huang Zhong asked casually, "Comrade Chen, did you drive this car?"
Chen Xia was stunned for a moment, then immediately figured out the whole thing and explained with a smile...
