Tian Xinhua and the others were racing against time on the front lines, using their flesh and blood to fight against the fierce flood. Seeing the leaders so bravely taking the lead, all the government officials were passionately stirred and joined the liberation army soldiers in carrying sandbags to block breaches.
But there was one person who seemed absent-minded, and that was Vice Mayor Qian Hongfei, the same man whose wife couldn't bear to bring out food from their family building.
Why was Vice Mayor Qian so distracted? It was mainly because of the multiple breaches in the dam.
He was the main person responsible for the construction of this dam. The project had been supervised by him from start to finish, along with the City Committee Building. The former was built when he was still the Director of Water Conservancy, and the latter after he became Vice Mayor, with less than three years between the two projects.
