For as long as he can remember, Xiao Ming has been plagued by the rampant problem of water accumulation on the vast concrete streets of City A. Whenever a rainstorm hits, the puddle in front of the house is bottomless, and debris floats on it, emitting an unpleasant smell.
This year's rainy season has been exceptionally abundant, and the annoyance caused by standing water seems to be getting worse. When he came home from school that day, Xiao Ming accidentally fell into a huge puddle of water, and the dirty water splashed his schoolbag and notebook.
He looked at the mess in front of him with dismay, thinking that it would be nice to have no damn water. Since then, Xiao Ming has begun to pay attention to the root cause of the accumulation of water in City A.
When he got home, Xiao Ming told his mother about the experience of stepping on a puddle after school, and his attitude was extremely excited. My mother reassured that the problem of water accumulation has intensified over the years, and it must be inseparable from the narrow and low sewer system in City A.
This inspired Xiao Ming, and he approached his neighbor, Lao Jiang, to inquire about the history of sewer construction. Lao Jiang explained that the urban planning of City A was not well thought out at the beginning, and the sewer system was small, the pipes were narrow and often clogged with debris.
In contrast, some cities with advanced planning have established large-scale sewer systems with scientific rigors as early as 100 years ago, so the water accumulation is relatively slight.
After listening to Lao Jiang's explanation, Xiao Ming suddenly realized.
Realizing that improving this accumulation of water would require the mobilization of huge sums of money and resources, Xiao Ming's mindset changed subtly. He began to put himself in the shoes of the government, understanding that the country had to prioritize more pressing problems and could not immediately deal with the city's chronic ills left over from history.
When he heard that the government was already piloting a new rain and sewage diversion system, Xiao Ming's eyes lit up, and he kindled a spark of hope for the future of the motherland. He decided not to complain about the status quo and to fully support the government's new initiatives.
Because I believe that with the joint efforts of the people, a better tomorrow will always come.
One day, Xiao Ming read in the newspaper that the government had launched a new experiment with a rainwater and sewage diversion drainage system in some key cities, and the results were remarkable. This news greatly encouraged him and strengthened his vision for a better tomorrow for the motherland.
After school, Xiao Ming took the initiative to participate in the environmental protection group organized by the school. The group's first charity activity was to educate passers-by on the streets about the significance of rainwater and sewage diversion.
Xiao Ming recorded a vivid and humorous promotional video, which attracted many onlookers. An old man stopped and enthusiastically expressed his support and recognition to Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming happily thought that although the problem of water accumulation in City A has not yet been cured, the awakening of the residents and the government's actions will gradually improve this historical problem.
Time flies, and Xiao Ming is no longer the boy who complained about the water accumulation with his small mouth. Standing on the bustling streets of City A, looking at the wide and clean trafficked roads, he could not hide the awe and pride that surged in his heart - the great achievements made by City A in controlling the problem of stagnant water over the years are the result of the joint efforts of the masses and the government.
The annoying puddles of memory are a thing of the past, replaced by a clean and transparent stormwater pipe network. Xiao Ming believes that City A will become more livable in the future, and all this stems from the love and protection of every ordinary citizen for their hometown.
It is with this huge synergy that the beautiful blueprint can be turned into reality.
