Alternate title: Revealing the Secret: The Unspeakable Suffering Behind the Three Gorges "Nail Households"! Twenty years later, its current situation is embarrassing
Preface
The Three Gorges Project is a major project in China's history.
Before the construction of this project, many villagers lived nearby, and Zhang Bingai was one of them.
In 1992, the government launched the Three Gorges Project in order to prevent floods, generate electricity and improve shipping conditions on the Yangtze River.
However, because the project involved large-scale reservoir storage and relocation of villages, more than 800 families in the village had to leave their homes.
But Zhang Bingai is the only nail household, who has always stuck here and refused to leave.
Although Zhang Bingai is a rural woman, no matter how much the government persuades her, even if she comes up with a generous relocation fee, she still insists that she and her husband live here.
Seeing that the water level is rising day by day, and danger is coming day by day, she can't live with money or even her own life......
What is the reason why Zhang Bingai did not move out? Could it be that there are some ulterior secrets hidden in it? Twenty years have passed, what is the current situation of the family?
A life of joy in suffering
If I had chosen to move out with my fellow villagers, would my life be better now?
I'm afraid that no one can answer this question Zhang Bingai, who was already gray-haired at that time, because she has reached the twilight of her life, even if there are many doubts and regrets in her heart, but everything can't go back.
Things have to start from the eighties and nineties of the last century, Zhang Bingai was originally unwilling to marry her current husband Xiong Yunjian.
Because when he learned that the person he was going to marry was not only born with a disability and could not do heavy work, but also that the two had never met and did not understand each other, Zhang Bingai disagreed at first.
But the order of his parents, the words of the matchmaker, and the good words of his father at home, Zhang Bingai finally had to agree to this family business.
But when he saw the bridal dress that was shabby than the clothes he usually wore, Zhang Bingai realized that he had been fooled, and it was his father who lied to him!
Before that, my father said more than once that people under the Yangtze River could earn a salary of two yuan a day, but in fact, Xiong Yunjian's family was not as rich as his father said.
Although he saw through the lie, he was ready to send it. In desperation, Zhang Bingai finally put on this so-called bridal dress.
The wedding days were spent like this, not to mention how aggrieved Zhang Bing's love was, but what made her feel even more uncomfortable was that even if she got married, her father came to visit her only a handful of times.
Even if he came, he just called himself home to help with the work, Zhang Bingai was very diligent and filial, even if he was dissatisfied with her, he never said it.
She spent more than ten hours on the way up and down the mountain, but she was still able to keep the house in order, and even the crops in the field grew exceptionally luxuriantly.
Unconsciously, Zhang Bingai has already become the pillar of the family.
Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, although the life is relatively difficult, Zhang Bingai and his wife still successfully raised a pair of children to adulthood.
The son and daughter are also very smart, and his son became the first student in the village to be admitted to a key high school. Such a happy event can't help but add a trace of sweetness to Zhang Bingai's tired days.
The bitterness of the nail household
I thought that life would go on like this, but the news that the government was going to build a dam completely shattered the peace of the village.
The villagers in the mountains did not know much about the national policy, but when they heard that the future work could be better after the relocation, and that there was a lot of compensation to be paid, the villagers responded to the call.
But when the villagers were about to finish moving, Zhang Bingai's family did not take the slightest action.
This unusual behavior quickly attracted the attention of local cadres, and after many visits and investigations, it was learned that it was due to his family reasons - Xiong Yunjian was physically disabled and could not go far away, and his children were still studying here.
Besides, Zhang Bingai doesn't do much, what will she do if she leaves this land she has worked so hard for?
The relocation money will be used up one day, so what should I do with my life after that? Zhang Bingai didn't dare to think about the future predicament, so she chose not to move out.
But looking at the smiling faces of the villagers when they left, Zhang Bingai may have wondered if his decision was wrong, and who doesn't yearn for a prosperous and higher quality of life?
But out of responsibility for the family's future, she didn't dare to make her own decisions, so the relocation was put on hold.
Until 2002, only Zhang Bingai's nail household was left in the village.
After dealing with government officials for so many years, Zhang Bingai has made perfect decisions about how to deal with them, but God doesn't seem to intend to let go of this hard-working woman......
Nail the compromise of the household
As the water level of the Yangtze River continued to rise, Zhang Bingai's small house was eventually flooded by the river.
Not only that, but the small shack I found has no water or electricity, how can I live?
After living in such a difficult environment for another year, the bad effects of not relocating gradually became apparent, first of all, the grades of my own children plummeted.
It turned out that because the educational resources were also moved, it became more difficult for her children to go to school, which indirectly led to her son's unfortunate failure in the college entrance examination.
At this moment, Zhang Bingai seemed to realize that she had done something wrong, and just as her heart was shaken, the village cadres came to persuade her again.
At the same time, they also brought good news, and it was this news that made Zhang Bingai make up his mind to move out of here.
It turned out that after learning about the special situation of Zhang Bingai's family, the government decided to give them additional resettlement fees and let them build houses in the resettlement place.
After learning the good news, Zhang Bingai readily agreed.
At this point, with the departure of the nail households, the relocation of all the villagers in the village was completely completed, and the Three Gorges Project was in full swing.
status quo
After moving to a new village hundreds of kilometers away from their hometown, Zhang Bingai's family also started a new life.
A few years later, her son returned from serving as a soldier in Xinjiang, and not only found a good job in the city, but also was able to support the family's expenses.
In the past two years, her daughter has also found her own happiness and married a down-to-earth and capable young man.
Perhaps because the life of Zhang Bing'ai and his family was too rugged and full of drama, a well-known director spent eight years making a documentary about Zhang Bingai's story, which later became known as "Bingai".
The story of Zhang Bingai is a life journey full of ups and downs and challenges, she has experienced the drastic changes brought about by the construction of the Three Gorges Project, but also shows personal tenacity and courage.
"Bingai" records her story and presents it to the world, so that the audience can feel the perseverance and courage of an ordinary person in the face of great change.
Zhang Bingai's story is not simply defined by the Three Gorges Project, but shows the courage and tenacity of an ordinary person in the face of life's difficulties.
For Zhang Bingai, although life has gone through many challenges and hardships, she has not been knocked down by adversity, but has persevered in life in her own way.
She still retains her love and hope for life, while inspiring many people to realize that even in the face of adversity, it is possible to stay optimistic and strong, and to face life's challenges bravely.
epilogue
When looking back on the past, everyone may have regretted whether they would have lived better if they had chosen that path in the first place, and this hesitation and regret are normal manifestations of human nature.
When faced with life's major choices and challenges, it is normal to be undecided or afraid that you will not be able to make the best choice.
Therefore, Zhang Bingai's original entanglement is understandable.
Zhang Bingai's story is embarrassing, so, do you support Zhang Bingai's choice?
