Just kidding!

- This time, political journalists like you are exhausted from attending the congress, aren't you?

- Tired yes but not resting. It's the peak of district, town and city congress season. Some days I seem to attend several congresses in a row.

- Traveling so much, have you discovered anything new and interesting?

- There are new words but they are old stories, old things, but it is not certain whether they are good or not!

- What do you mean?

- You asked if there was anything new. There was something new, but it was an old story. It was about building a new countryside, a story that had been going on for years. I was just joking around. Actually, this is a problem that is bothering me.

- Why fish?

- Because it doesn't feel right, sir!

- What's wrong?

- Every district and town, when holding congresses, sets the goal of completing the construction of new rural areas by the end of the term. At this rate, in the next 5 years, there will be no old rural villages or hamlets in the whole province.

- That is a good thing, a good thing, why do you feel unhappy, not okay?

- What fun, what stability! People just make up such a thing without carefully calculating whether they can do it or not. In the past few years, the construction of infrastructure projects such as roads, schools, headquarters... has consumed a lot of effort and money of farmers. The people's strength has been worn out a lot, we have to let them rest, regain their strength before we can continue working. Besides, the work...

What?

- Building infrastructure can be done if money and manpower can be mobilized. As for other criteria such as income, form of production organization, labor rate, occupation, etc., it requires both money and capacity, a certain level of understanding to be able to be implemented. If you do not calculate carefully and just do it haphazardly, the consequences will be unknown. Therefore, you cannot rely on willpower!

- I think that, before entering the congress, people carefully analyzed the situation and then set goals.

like that!

- Whether it is technical or not, I don't know, but I see that almost every district, strong or weak, is striving to complete the construction of new rural areas. Hearing it, I feel excited and enthusiastic because of the high determination. But the more I think about it, the more I see that it is just for show, for the sake of prestige, but I don't see any basis or foundation to achieve the set goals. Besides, up to now, whether the goals set by the congress have been completed or not, has anyone been held responsible and disciplined, so...

- So people just say whatever they want, to please everyone.

- You're right. It's just for fun!
