A Chengdu citizen left a message to the mayor's mailbox on the Internet, saying that the water-saving beast stone rhinoceros left by Li Bing was moved and asked to be put back in its original place, which caused a serious flood. However, Chengdu Wenguang New Bureau gave a serious answer: it can't be proved that the stone rhinoceros is a kind of water-breathing beast, which has no direct relationship with water. Moreover, there were two major floods in Chengdu 1947 and198/KLOC-0. When these two floods broke out, the stone rhinoceros was still dusty underground in Tianfu Square.
The public's doubts are unreasonable, but the local government departments have not ignored them. The polite answer reflects the sincerity of the government in information disclosure. The response was friendly and convincing, which was affirmed by many netizens. It also reflects the benign interaction between citizens and the government, which makes netizens happy for quite a while.
However, at noon on July 12, Qingyang Branch of Chengdu Public Security Bureau suddenly issued a notice saying that on July 1 1 day, the bureau gave administrative punishment to Yang who spread the rumor that "the real water beast was dug up and caused continuous heavy rain in Chengdu". This made netizens laugh.
The topic of "stone rhinoceros and rainstorm in Chengdu" has been popular for a long time. Since the stone rhinoceros was unearthed in 20 13, people on the internet have always associated it with the rainstorm in Chengdu. Basically, whenever it rains heavily every year, someone will call @ Shixi and treat this as a child. Some netizens have summed it up before: Every time there is a rainstorm, the workload of the beast will increase greatly.
This seemingly nonsense stone rhinoceros competition also revealed the public's high concern about the rainstorm and flood.
According to the report, as of 1 1 hour 14, 488,700 people in 456 townships (towns and streets) in 8 cities (states) including Chengdu and Deyang were affected. This disaster should not be underestimated. In the process of disaster emergency, the release of information directly affects the effect of disaster emergency. After the flood, the government should immediately follow up, start the crisis emergency plan, release authoritative information, correct wrong information in time, eliminate rumors and rumors, and let the people know the truth and respond in time. On the contrary, if the information is not released in time, it may lead to negative emotions, and in serious cases, rumors will spread everywhere, amplifying the crisis.
In the face of people's concern about the "water-saving beast", we need to see the core through the nonsense shell-the public's concern about the disaster and the expectation of the government's flood control measures, although this has formed a distorted mirror image through the expression of stone rhinoceros.
No one really believes that digging out stone rhinoceros is the cause of the flood. The "rumor" that no one believes is almost harmless to society, which is essentially different from those rumors that say where the dam breaks and how many people drown. What the government needs to do is to release authoritative information in a more transparent and timely manner, satisfy the public's right to know, and fight back against the actually harmful rumors without having to fight windmills. I hope the government can understand the people's expectations behind the stone rhinoceros.
