Mao Ping can also be regarded as the first People's Party comrade to work in Wuhan. In 1905, there were only eight full members of the BJP. Chen Ke and You Wei completed the development of the special drug "606", and Mao Ping went to Wuhan as a doctor as a member of the "Huangpu Publishing Society". Now, in April 1908, Mao Ping, who has returned to work in Wuhan, is not just a doctor. The BJP's financial resources at this time were far greater than they were in 1905. Mao Ping was instructed to open a "Wuhan Medical School" in the "Hanyang New District" founded by the People's Party, and in accordance with the tradition of the medical community, the "Affiliated Hospital of Wuhan Medical School" was also built. Mao Ping, who is also the principal of a medical school and the director of an affiliated hospital, can also be regarded as the number one emerging figure in the intellectual world.

The Wuhan Medical School and the hospital presided over by Mao Ping are located near the steel plant, and because the fees are not high, and because it is a Western doctor, the hospital is crowded every day. Mao Ping also sat in the clinic on weekdays, and after asking about the fever patient, Mao Ping said, "Let's go for a blood test." ”

Recently, there are many infectious diseases, and the turn of spring and summer is often the time when epidemics break out, and the three towns of Wuhan are big cities with large populations and many people, so the possibility of epidemics is also greater. As a low-lying wetland, getting sick is a common problem. In order to expand its influence, the People's Party has held several lectures on sanitation in the three towns of Wuhan. The effect of the lecture was naturally good, and of course, the result was that the Affiliated Hospital of Wuhan Medical School was "doing prosperous business".

"Dean Mao, something happened to the steel mill! Six people were killed and four wounded. The correspondent hurriedly rushed into the outpatient clinic where Mao Ping was.

Mao Ping immediately got up, "Call the comrades of the medical team, let's go now." ”

Steel mills are a high-risk industry, and Mo said that now, even after liberation, every large and medium-sized steel plant has a three-digit "death standard" every year. In other words, if the number of deaths due to various causes does not exceed three digits per year, the steel plant is not considered a management problem. It's not about human life, it's about the working environment in the steel plant. High temperature, high heat, high noise, and all kinds of light. Workers and technicians don't mean that you should hide in a safe place for the sole purpose of saving your life. Workers and technicians have to observe, and they have to deal with thousands of degrees of metal liquid. If you are not careful, or if something unexpected happens in the production process, it will lead to disability. Mao Ping personally saw a worker on the overpass directly above the blast furnace accidentally fall into the blast furnace, and when Mao Ping got on the overpass, there was no trace of human beings in the boiling molten iron below. In the high temperature environment of thousands of degrees, the whole person was burned into fly ashes.

So the death itself did not surprise Mao Ping anymore, any surprise is meaningless, this is the reality that everyone is facing.

As soon as he went out, Mao Ping saw the gloomy sky, and he felt inexplicably uneasy. This continuous cloud is very similar to the clouds seen during the flood in Anhui Province. The flood gave Mao Ping too deep memories. After settling down, Mao Ping rushed to the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant with a medical team wearing white coats.

It's not news that there are injuries or deaths in the steel plant, so it's orderly. However, those foreign technicians will say hello kindly when they see Mao Ping and them. When these foreign devils first saw Mao Ping wearing a white coat and a round red cross logo on a white background on the medical box, they once thought they were doctors from a foreign hospital. When he learned that these people were local Chinese doctors, the foreign devils immediately disdained them.

It wasn't until Mao Ping's medical team showed decisive and effective ability when it was treating. Once saved the life of a foreign devil, they treated Mao Ping and them with a respectful attitude towards a real doctor. After all, the hospital opened by foreign devils does not have a doctor who can come at any time without visiting fees. God knows what to expect in this dangerous work environment. To be kind to a doctor is to be kind to yourself.

Mao Ping and the others did not stop because of the greetings of others, and the medical team moved forward quickly with the usual focused attitude, leading the factory personnel to the place where the injured were located. As usual, the injured workers were moaning or crying in the pungent smell of burnt flesh.

The weeping one had a missing leg on his left leg, and the black fabric was burning on it. Exposed were black and red stumps. "Let me die!" The workers were crying in despair, "What's the point of me living!" Let me die! ”

There is no way to do this, and in the Wuhan area, where competition for jobs is brutal, it is difficult for such disabled people to find decent jobs. This world shows no mercy to a person who has no ability to support his family, and there are only two options: a slow death or a happy death.

No matter how horrific the wounds of the wounded were, no matter how tragic the wails of the wounded, the treatment work began immediately. First of all, treat the wound briefly, and wrap the wound with gauze. The wounded were put on stretchers and the ambulance team ran towards the hospital.

"Principal Mao!" The foreman grabbed Mao Ping, "Principal Mao, there are my relatives here, you can take care of them more." ”

"Don't worry. We will treat the patient well. Mao Ping replied.

"It's fate. It's fate. The foreman repeated the same painful tone several times before he said what was in his heart, "It is better to die than to suffer this sin." ”

Mao Ping knew what the foreman meant, and what the foreman didn't say was, "If the cost is too great, then there is no need to save it." Mao Ping knew the situation in the hospital very well, and it was impossible for the People's Party hospital to treat such patients at any cost. If the People's Party had not been in order to accumulate enough doctors, and the People's Party itself had invested very little in doctors, the school and the hospital would have been unable to survive.

The three towns of Wuhan are big cities, and as the thoroughfare of nine provinces, there are also large concession areas. It is known to Americans as the "Chicago of the East". In the development of deformed cities, there is a lack of a medical system, let alone a social security system. In addition to treating the disabled in its own system, the BJP will also arrange a lot of work within their capacity. For unmarried people, they will even be given treatment such as marriage. But it was a base area, and the People's Party basically controlled the entire base area, with many enterprises and factories, and there were too many job opportunities. In Wuhan, I don't work for a day, I don't eat for a day. Too many people are waiting for too few jobs, and once they are eliminated from the workforce because of a major disability, the end is very miserable.

Even if it's to save people, what's the point? Mao Ping couldn't help but think that if the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant was a People's Party, then the People's Party would naturally not ignore these workers. However, in the current situation, the BJP has neither the financial resources nor the obligation to provide more help to these people than just treatment.

"It's his life to be saved. Leave it to fate. Mao Ping said to the foreman. The foreman looked at Mao Ping with understanding and grateful eyes, and said again and again, "Thank you." ”

In order to calm the emotions in his heart, Mao Ping couldn't help but secretly say to himself: "Give full play to the revolutionary humanitarian spirit of saving lives and helping the wounded." Mao Ping even recalled that Chen Ke said to himself with an extremely serious attitude, "Comrade Mao Ping, you have worked hard. ”

Thinking of this, Mao Ping felt that he had regained the courage to continue working and do as much as possible for China's poor medical work. However, if Mao Ping could know what Chen Ke was thinking in his heart, he was afraid that he would be shocked. Faced with the rudimentary public health care system that he has worked so hard to establish, Chen often thinks that if these hard-working workers have an average mortality rate of nearly 10%, they would have been blocked by doctors in the 21st century, and they would have wanted to commit suicide.

Mao Ping, who embraced the spirit of revolutionary humanitarianism, left the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant with the medical team. The school and hospital are located on a large expanse of open land, which is the territory of the Hanyang New District.

In 1905, Zhang Zhidong, then the governor of Liangjiang, started construction in Hankou to build the "Zhanggong Embankment" from Hankou Dike in the east to Rudder Luokou in the west. Since its completion, more than 100,000 acres of low-lying land in Houhu Lake has risen to land, which has caused Hankou Castle to lose its waterproof function. Later, the Yudai River gradually silted up, and at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Hankou Fort was demolished to rebuild the main road, which is today's Zhongshan Avenue. Today, the prototype of Hankou was gradually formed.

The People's Party's intervention in Wuhan at this time was not planned in advance. Not to mention that Chen Ke has such a detailed understanding of history. It was purely a mistake and inserted a pole in Hankow, where there was a lot of open space. These hundreds of thousands of acres of depression were originally wetlands and were not inhabited. By 1908, the water table had lowered and the site was finally able to be built on a large scale.

The medical team entered the hospital, which was still crowded. In this era, whether in China or abroad, infectious diseases occupy the majority of hospital beds. Although the masses do not know the truth of infectious diseases, they know the manifestations of infectious diseases. Leaving people with infectious diseases at home will cause the whole family to suffer. If you are sent to the hospital, you will do your best for your relatives and avoid suffering to your family. If it is the period of New China, hospitals and the national health and epidemic prevention system will naturally solve these epidemic prevention problems. But now it was 1908, and the Manchu government had neither the will nor the ability to solve social problems. Private hospitals are opened to make money, and they want to earn money in their own pockets. Instead of spending a huge amount of money out of your own pocket to provide services to the society.

Therefore, it was not until the People's Party intervened in Wuhan that the prototype of a real health and epidemic prevention system appeared in Wuhan, even if it was only a large-scale health propaganda campaign.

When the people saw the medical team carrying the wounded in, they knew that the matter was serious, and they all got out of the way. Mao Ping and the others smoothly entered the operating room and began further treatment work.

This was in April 1908. Lord Zhao Erxun is still in the position of the governor of Huguang.

Two months later, in June 1908, when the Provisional Assembly of Jiangsu was formally established, Lord Zhao Erxun had re-assumed the post of Governor of Sichuan. He left the hot potato of Hubei and hurried to Sichuan. Even the succession did not wait.

In the summer, heavy rains have fallen in the Wuhan area, and water levels have skyrocketed in various places, and Hubei is about to experience large-scale flooding for the fifth consecutive year. At this time, Mao Ping was mobilizing the comrades in the hospital and the students of the school to prepare for disaster relief and epidemic prevention.

Not only the hospital, but also the comrades of the Wuhan task force are doing emergency mobilization. Before coming to Wuhan to work, Chen Ke told the Wuhan task force, "Comrades, the revolution can take the form of first controlling a region by military force, and then starting the work of establishing a new system in civil affairs. At the same time, the revolution can also follow the model of starting with civil affairs and finally implementing military takeover. Either way, it needs to be backed by a strong military force. But a new regime cannot be defeated by military force alone. The ultimate goal of the revolution is nothing more than to enable the people to work better and to live a better life. This is the final point of all true revolutions, and this is also the goal of all revolutions. ”

The People's Party has the ability to cope with the floods, and almost all party members and cadres have struggled to survive the floods. Although the comrades of the People's Party have all studied materialism, they have all firmly stated that there are no ghosts and gods in this world. In the face of the current situation, they are very skeptical that Chen Ke has the ability to pinch and calculate, when the People's Party began to throw its strength in Wuhan, there was no need to go into battle to fight, no need to fight class, God actually helped in such a cruel way as a flood.

The correspondent brought news that the work of the team led by Chairman Chen Ke in the Dabie Mountains has been very effective, and so far, tens of thousands of people have been recruited. And this team has already begun to prepare for the invasion of Wuhan. Not for the military struggle, but for the relief work. The BJP will be able to work to its heart's content in a society where there are no rivals.
