Not far.
The crowd was growing.
Mainly local residents, Delin Province focuses on coastal tourism, and the provincial capital is not the main focus and is sowhat old, part of the plan. The entire provincial capital district was set for redevelopnt.
anwhile.
A new district is also being constructed nearby.
However.
Due to the sheer size of this coastal new district, it hasn’t been completely finished yet. Only a part is in operation, with many buildings still needing to be topped out and decorated. It won’t be open to many tourists for the ti being.
Once completed.
So of the old city’s population will move there.
The old city renovation will begin.
No demolition.
Just refurbishnt.
The original appearance will be preserved, with a comprehensive overhaul of water, electricity, gas, and internet. Dangerous structures will be demolished, and old buildings reinforced. Many families have lived here for generations, so their hos can’t just be torn down.
"It’s lively today."
"Is there a show?"
"I heard Kan Qin is here, where?"
"Over there."
"I see them."
"What about President Ling?"
"He didn’t co, only for the official opening."
"Oh."
Many are a bit disappointed; they truly feel the benefits of economic developnt, naturally feeling grateful to those who created this. Once poor, they remained so until they saw the world.
Then they realized... they were truly very poor.
At this mont.
For Ling.
For the current leaders, they have unwavering support. The Lang Cai era ended a few years ago, yet it feels like sothing from the last century, given the imnse changes.
"Only in these days do I feel there’s a future."
Smoking dry tobacco.
An elderly man remarked with satisfaction.
"Indeed."
The family beside him sighed.
"It’s just that now we’re idle, and even fishing is not allowed anymore." The old man said helplessly. Fishery protection caused a complete halt in Myanmar’s fishery. You can eat, but comrcial fishing is restricted.
Their family has a small boat.
Fishing.
Fine.
Catching fish with nets is allowed, but selling them isn’t; you’ll get caught. Nearshore comrcial fishing has been completely stopped, making it hard for him to adapt, but he could say nothing.
Before, it was for survival.
If not allowed to fish.
The resistance with weapons would have been real.
Yet now.
There are many more choices.
He could work with fishing companies, whether in processing, ocean-far fishing, or even odd jobs. It’s now easy to find a job; at his age, Delin Province allows for retirent.
The retirent pension is higher than before when he worked tirelessly.
No worries about food and drink.
If he wanted to resist now, he couldn’t even grip a weapon tightly.
"You should rest." His family advised.
"Doing nothing just feels uncomfortable." The old man shook his head, having worked all his life, doing nothing now felt truly unsettling, "I’ve decided, tomorrow I’ll go to the labor market and find a job related to the sea."
"You.."
"That’s it; with my physical condition, I can at least collect garbage."
"How could that be?"
"No, nearshore garbage cleanup needs people. It’s not real garbage collecting." The old man said. Ocean garbage is a key area for Delin Province in the next phase since there are so many people.
A neighboring friend of similar age had successfully applied.
The wages aren’t low.
The retirent pension is temporarily stopped, but he doesn’t care because his salary is more than fifty percent higher than his pension. Once he stops working there, the pension continues as unemploynt benefits.
Very humane.
He is a witness to the changes in this land.
Also wants to be a participant.
Lived off the sea all his life.
Only took.
It’s ti to give back a little.
Blue sea.
Blue sky.
He also hopes to contribute to this transformation.
...
At this mont.
Kan Qin began speaking.
"Two years ago, this was just a bigger fishing village with a population of less than 100,000. At that ti, I never imagined that two years later today, I would witness such a huge transformation."
"And all of you here are witnesses, participants, and promoters. In the Myanmar Economic Zone, we have witnessed an economic miracle that draws global attention."
"Here, we are also about to witness the birth of a world-class tourist area. However, it’s still in its infancy, requiring all of us to carefully nurture it for healthy growth."
"For this goal, we made many efforts, ceasing fishing activities to allow nearshore marine life to recuperate, while also shutting down all sewage discharge factories along Myanmar’s coast."
"We have built three and are constructing seven large wastewater treatnt plants, striving to achieve a zero pollution discharge goal to the sea from living and industrial sources, just like our air filters."
"..."
On stage.
Kan Qin spoke passionately.
One by one.
Piece by piece.
This is a confirmation of everyone’s efforts and a summary of his work. Reflecting on it, it’s remarkable how much has been achieved in such a short ti, akin to a miracle.
At this mont.
He realizes how important a strong leadership institution is. If it were like the Western Countries’ propagation, now everything might still be in a state of wrangling.
Nothing to be seen.
Now.
They have accomplished it. But it costs a lot, with each large wastewater treatnt plant starting at billions of Asia Dollars, and Yangon alone hosting two, with a total investnt exceeding thirty billion Asia Dollars.
However.
This money doesn’t all go to foreign countries.
Many go to the Myanmar Environntal Technology Company.
Initially.
The project was established.
Ling directly approached him, saying the Myanmar Environntal Technology Company’s wastewater treatnt technology was mature and was ready to participate in the tender, but ten wastewater treatnt projects were directly preassigned.
One super-large.
Three large.
Three dium.
Three small.
Total ten, to serve as a comparison. According to Ling, in the next phase, the Myanmar Environntal Technology Company will focus on this type of water quality filtration technology, making these ten projects model samples.
Unlike industrial filters, which can be installed and produce results imdiately, large projects like these require actual construction and a period of operation to be convincing.
On this matter.
Kan Qin is of course supportive.
The Myanmar Environntal Technology Company gaining another business area is a great thing. So far, a large plant has been completed, with two more under construction, and the super-large facility is about to be operational.
Located in Xin’an City.
He even visited the already operational large wastewater treatnt plant.
The result?
Stunning.
In two words, it captures all his feelings. This is not just wastewater filtration, like gas filtration; there’s a whole set of subsequent treatnt thods to ensure zero pollution discharge to the environnt.
Once fully operational.
And stable for three months.
If all is well.
This project will be officially publicized.
"Finally, thanks again to everyone for supporting the construction of Delin Province and to the colleagues for your efforts. But this is just the beginning; we have opened a new era for Delin Province and must assu its future."
"Thank you."
Amid applause.
The ceremony ended.
And the distant coastal tourism area also began to bustle.
