    Reader note

    A red-headed document titled "On the Merger of 59 Village Primary Schools in the County" lay coldly on his desk. Yang Zhenhong stared at it, his eyes glazed over. Even though the sky outside was clear, his mood was far from pleasant. The document itself had been discussed in multiple leadership meetings, and he had memorized its contents: the Education Bureau's reasons were compelling—insufficient student enrollment, inability to pay teachers' salaries, and high operating costs. The recommendation was to merge all 59 village primary schools into the central primary schools in each town, converting the school buildings into village committee service centers. The document was beautifully crafted, the data detailed, and the arguments rigorous. The deputy county head in charge of education signed "Agreed," as did the deputy county head in charge of finance. County Head Wu, who was fully responsible for government work, wrote "Proposed Approval, Submitted to Secretary Yang for Review" in the review column. Now it had reached his desk; he signed it, the Education Bureau's burden was reduced, the Finance Bureau breathed a sigh of relief, the leadership remained united, and no one could find fault. If he didn't sign, he'd have to find a way to fill the salary gap in 59 schools himself. He had a deep connection to rural areas; he knew how difficult rural life was, and how much harder it was for farmers. He knew all too well that the county he governed, with its million-strong population, was a massive financial drain! It was so impoverished that most of its young and middle-aged people had to leave to work elsewhere; it was so remote that a highway had only been built last year; and everywhere there were muddy roads and expenses—it was incredibly unfair to the countryside and the farmers! Now, even the last remaining "inner strength" of the countryside, the "village schools," was being ruthlessly and abruptly shut down. The last 59 village schools in the county! Not a single one left! The village schools he remembered were those drafty, blue-brick walls. In winter, the cold wind would cut like knives down your neck; in summer, the gray tiles on the roof couldn't hold in the rain, and teachers had to use basins to catch water by the podium, the dripping sound never ceasing. But those were the most secure places he'd ever been. Because there were teachers, books, and the truth that "education can change your destiny." He believed it, and he left. But now, he had to sign this document himself. Should he also withdraw these children's "trust"? No, he told himself: he couldn't sign. At that moment, his face suddenly contorted in agony, pain spreading across his features. He had stayed up until 3 a. M. Last night to finish this report, and the tightness in his chest had been nagging at him since morning, like a stone pressing down on him. He had planned to get some medicine from the infirmary after finishing, but unexpectedly... A sharp, agonizing pain erupted without warning, turning his face instantly deathly pale. It came on so quickly and suddenly that Yang Zhenhong was completely defenseless, even struggling to breathe. The pain began in his chest, his heart feeling as if it had been violently squeezed, his entire body being pulled apart by this violent force. His right hand instinctively gripped his left chest, his nails digging into his shirt, as if trying to crush the aching heart inside, to end this intense pain. Only his willpower remained, keeping a sliver of clarity in his mind. He struggled to reach out his left hand, trying to grab the teacup on the table. Instinctively, he wanted to drink some water to suppress the intense pain. His fingertips were about to touch the cup when his hand suddenly froze. Then, turning, he reached for the pen without hesitation. The pen was still there! He gripped it with all his might, pressing the nib against the paper. In the approval section, with unwavering resolve, he painstakingly wrote a crude, barely identifiable "no." The pen stopped, and he collapsed! The teacup on the edge of the table fell to the floor with him. Xiao Chen, who was waiting in the small office outside, was currently huddled at his desk, organizing Yang Zhenhong's upcoming research schedule: "Draft contracts for attracting investment," "Solutions for accumulated petitions," "A list of rectification measures for production safety..." "There's a meeting tomorrow morning to discuss the expansion of the development zone," "The day after tomorrow, I'm going to the province to report on rural revitalization projects," "The day after that..." Hearing a sound from inside, he paused. He cautiously looked up at the slightly ajar door, finding no movement inside. He hesitated for two seconds in his chair, then got up and walked over, gently pushing open the door. Xiao Chen's world collapsed! He saw Yang Zhenhong lying stiffly on the floor. "Secretary Yang…!" He rushed over, knelt on the ground, and reached out to help him up. His body was still warm to the touch. He quickly and gently straightened the body lying on the floor. He dared not use force, yet dared not use too little. His arms were trembling, his whole body was trembling. "Secretary Yang! Wake up! Please wake up!" He cried, sobbing. Tears and snot streamed down his face, but he didn't bother to wipe them away. He remembered this spring, a city leader had also suffered a sudden heart attack. He had unfortunately collapsed at home for half an hour and never woken up again. Examples of sudden heart attacks flashed through his mind, the images spinning faster and faster, making him dizzy. He gritted his teeth, jolted, and quickly laid Yang Zhenhong flat, pressing his hands together on his chest—one, two, three, four… He pressed desperately, again and again. His arms ached, his hands were numb, but he dared not stop. He kept calling out, "Secretary Yang!" "Don't sleep!" "Open your eyes and look at me!" Footsteps echoed down the corridor. Someone rushed in and called an ambulance. The ambulance arrived quickly, and as the stretcher was being carried out, Xiao Chen refused to leave. He pressed tightly against Yang Zhenhong's chest, his voice trembling, "He won't die..." Someone frantically tried to pull him away. "He's a good official!" "This isn't his end!" No one answered him, no one spoke, their faces only filled with gloom and an unyielding reluctance. In the end, Yang Zhenhong was carried into the ambulance, his fingertips white, his bent fingers still in a stiff, pen-holding posture. In his dazed mind, seven gilded characters suddenly appeared—"Universal Commodity Exchange." In the office, the document still lay open on the table. Water soaked the pages, the ink spreading. On the approval comments section, the crookedly written "No" was extremely poorly executed. It looked as if it had been written with all its might, or as if the pen had stopped before it was finished. Yet it stood there, dark and glaring. That "No" never faded.
