Republic of Burkina, Bava Region.

Wagar City,

Its Maloshan gold mine.

In the history books of Burkina, it is recorded as follows:

“The Qima Luoshan gold mine was first discovered by a businessman named ‘Shen Sanwan’ from an ancient Eastern country in 2407. ‘The gold mine is in my pocket, and the family has a long-term hope’ were his original words at the time.

Until 2870, serious problems arose in the domestic political situation of the ancient eastern country. A large number of troops from various African governorates were urgently transferred back to the country, and France took the opportunity to control the entire North Africa.

Subsequently, the Maluoshan gold mine was re-explored and it was confirmed that the gold ore reserves were 200,000 tons, not the 90,000 tons that had been recorded in history books.

France immediately organized manpower to fully exploit its Maro Mountain gold mine. Gold output has slowly increased from the initial 0.1 tons per year to the current 1 ton per year. ”

Now France was defeated.

Signed a peace agreement with Burkina and surrendered all rights and interests, which naturally included its Maro Mountain gold mine.

May 10th.

Seventeenth day after the signing of the peace agreement.

The “Ministry of National Land and Mineral Resources Management” was finally freed from various matters related to the annexation of the Republic of Ghana.

Begin to send people to take over its Maruoshan gold mine.

“Station” area,

If you like, you can call it a mining worker accommodation area.

Under the golden sunlight.

These are simple “houses”, or tents, made of a few logs, a few rags, and a few stones.

The whole body is black and exudes a pungent stench.

If you are a normal person.

Even if you stay here for even more than a second!

Everyone will be affected by this stench that is completely indescribable in words, including body odor, athlete’s foot, feces, rancid smell, musty smell…all kinds of smells mixed together.

It made me dizzy and nauseated on the spot!

But these miners who have lived here for several years, more than ten years, or even their entire lives don’t think there is any problem at all.

Even many of their diseases are caused by the harsh living environment!

“You work so hard every day, you don’t even have enough to eat, and you’re still in the mood to care about this? If you have the time and energy to do these things, you might as well rest more, because you have to work 16 hours tomorrow!”

Whenever new miners can’t stand the dirty environment and suggest tidying up and cleaning, the old miners will say this to them.

Then……

As time goes by.

When new miners made the same suggestions, these new miners also said the same words as the old miners.

So over and over again.

Of course, it’s not without variables.

“Are we human beings? We are just a bunch of beasts whose blood and sweat have been squeezed out by the French in every possible way.

No, we are worse than animals!

Because even beasts are not like us, who don’t have enough to eat, sleep well, and live well every day, but they still have to work 16 hours a day!

For us, being a beast is a luxury! We can’t live like this anymore, we must stand up and resist, and we must fight for our due rights! ”

Once, a miner who had worked here for several years said the above words to other miners angrily and called on everyone to resist.

But the result is,

No miner has seen him since!

because,

There are always very few people who are awake!

The ignorant make up the majority, while the silent…are the vast majority.

They will never stand up to support, they will just stand there and watch in silence those few who are awake and sacrifice everything to move forward.

In the end, I watched in silence as the few who were awake died miserably.

A group of officials from the Ministry of Resources stood outside the “livestock shed” area, looking at the emaciated and absent-eyed miners living inside with complicated expressions.

“Where are there people here? These are clearly walking corpses!”

There was a hint of crying in the voice of a young official.

An older official looked at the Frenchman standing next to them and said angrily:

“Our Ministry of Resources will definitely sue you in court and require you to compensate these miners for all their losses! Pay attention, everything!”

“…”

The Frenchman, who had already received instructions from high-level officials and was mentally prepared, just nodded very indifferently and answered calmly.road:

“Don’t worry, our company will definitely make the most reasonable compensation to these miners!”

He said this, but what he was thinking in his heart was:

“You bunch of bureaucrats are just sitting here and talking about how pitiful these miners are. Don’t you just want to get more money from us? Just give it to you!

I can guarantee that after we leave and you bureaucrats take over the Maruoshan gold mine, the lives of these miners may be even worse! ”

The eyes are the windows of the soul.

What a person is thinking will most likely be reflected in his eyes.

The older official, as an old butt in the officialdom, naturally guessed what the Frenchman was thinking through his eyes.

But the official didn’t say anything to refute.

Because there is no point in doing so.

Moreover, influenced by Sankara, this official also recognized a sentence.

That is:

“Nothing is said, but done!”

Regarding how to arrange these miners next, a complete plan has already been discussed at the department meeting.

Now, they just need to follow the plan step by step.

When the time comes, irrefutable facts will naturally refute the Frenchman for them!

“???”

The miners were all confused!

They had known for a few days that the government was going to take over its Maro gold mine.

From the perspective of these miners, who don’t know much about the outside world and don’t know that the country has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Everyone looks like a bird, and they are all being exploited as cattle and horses anyway!

but!

What the miners never expected was,

The first thing the government did after taking over the Ma Luoshan gold mine was not to urge them to start construction quickly or go down to the mine to mine more gold.

Instead, they were given two sets of blue work clothes that looked expensive at first sight.

Then each of them was asked to go to the bathhouse, which was originally only accessible to French people and management. They took a good hot bath and put on the work clothes they had just been given.

Immediately afterwards, a group of doctors and nurses were called in, bringing with them a lot of medical equipment and gave them all a full body examination.

Those who were found to have problems were sent to major hospitals for treatment on the spot, and they didn’t have to pay for it themselves, it was all borne by the French!

“I’m not dreaming, am I? I must be dreaming!”

An old miner who had been working in his Maruoshan gold mine for almost his whole life could not believe what he had experienced in the past two days. Everything seemed like a dream.

at last,

He learned that he would be able to work a maximum of 8 hours a day, with five days off and two days off, and his salary would be more than ten times higher than the current salary.

I was very panicked and silently prayed in my heart:

“God, please don’t let me wake up from this dream! Please!”
