    "Penetrating the Poor Mountains: Gathering the Power of All to Create a Great Nation" A red-headed document, "Regarding the Merger of 59 Village Primary Schools in the County," lay coldly on his desk. Yang Zhenhong stared at it, his eyes somewhat dazed. Even though the sky outside was clear, his mood was far from pleasant. The document itself had been repeatedly discussed in multiple leadership meetings, and he had long since memorized its contents: The Education Bureau's reasons were quite compelling: "Insufficient student enrollment, inability to pay teachers' salaries, and high operating costs." The recommendation was to merge all 59 rural primary schools into the central primary schools in each town, converting the school buildings into village committee service centers. The document's data was detailed, its arguments rigorous, and its accusations flawless. 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. Finally, it reached his desk as the secretary… and he signed it! The Education Bureau's burden was reduced, the Finance Bureau breathed a sigh of relief, and the leadership team was united. If he didn't sign, these 59 village schools would be a huge hole, and he would have to find a way to fill it himself. Having come from the mountains, he knew how difficult rural life was, and how much harder it was for farmers. He knew very well that the county he was responsible for, with a registered population of over one million, was a huge hole! The mountains were barren, all the young and middle-aged people had gone out to work, leaving only the elderly behind; even the highway had only opened last year, not to mention the high-speed rail, which wouldn't be open until the year after next; development, investment attraction, construction... Money was needed everywhere. In order to develop the whole county, it was already unfair to the farmers! Now even the last "inner strength" of the countryside, the "village schools," were being ruthlessly eliminated. The last 59 village schools in the county! Not a single one left! The village schools in his memory were those with drafty blue brick walls. In winter, the cold wind would cut like knives into his back, and in summer, the gray tiles on the roof couldn't keep out the rain. The teacher could only use a porcelain basin to catch water by the podium, dripping incessantly. But that was the most reassuring place in his life. Because there, he heard the true saying that "education can change one's destiny." He believed it, and he came out. But now, he had to sign this document himself. Was he going to extinguish the last vestiges of hope for the countryside as well? No, he told himself: he couldn't sign. At that moment, his face suddenly contorted in agony. The pain came so suddenly that Yang Zhenhong was completely defenseless, even breathing was difficult. Pain pounded in his chest, his heart felt like it was being clenched tightly, his whole body being pulled apart by this violent force. His right hand instinctively pressed against his left chest, his nails digging into his shirt, as if he wanted to crush the aching heart inside and end this intense pain. What kept a sliver of clarity in his mind was his unwavering willpower. 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. Just as his fingertips were about to touch the cup, his hand suddenly froze. After less than a second of hesitation, his fingertips turned, and without a second, he reached for the pen. The pen was still there! He gripped the pen with all his might, pressing the nib against the paper. In the approval section, with unwavering resolve, he painstakingly wrote a crudely shaped "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 huddled at his desk, organizing Yang Zhenhong's upcoming research schedule: "Draft contracts for attracting investment," "Solutions for long-standing petitions," "A list of rectification measures for production safety..." "A meeting tomorrow morning to discuss the expansion of the development zone," "A report on rural revitalization projects to the province the day after tomorrow," "The day after that..." Hearing the noise from inside, he froze. He cautiously looked up at the slightly ajar door, finding no movement inside. He hesitated for two seconds, then got up and gently pushed 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. The body was still warm to the touch. He quickly and gently straightened the body lying on the ground. He dared not use force, yet dared not use 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. Unfortunately, he collapsed at home for half an hour and never woke up again. Examples of sudden heart attacks flashed through his mind, the images spinning faster and faster, making him dizzy. He gritted his teeth and jolted awake, quickly laying Yang Zhenhong flat, his hands overlapping as he pressed on his chest—one, two, three, four… He pressed desperately, again and again. His arms ached, his hands went numb, but he dared not stop. He kept calling out, "Secretary Yang!" "Don't sleep!" "Open your eyes and look at me!" Footsteps echoed in the corridor. Someone ran 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..." People 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. Finally, Yang Zhenhong was lifted into the ambulance, his fingertips white, his bent fingers still in a stiff, pen-holding posture. In his dazed mind, seven large, 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 section, the crooked "No" was written very poorly. That "No" remained.
