Today's schedule was arranged yesterday.
Due to the large number of attendees at the commendation ceremony, the city won't provide meals—strictly speaking, it can't afford to. Because the city never provides meals at similar events, several district and county officials are not too keen on attending city meetings.
For instance, Si Gang, Dongru, and Dongqi are nearly a hundred kilometers away from the city center.
To attend your meeting, they must get up before dawn. Units with vehicles are somewhat better off, able to drive straight to the venue. Units without vehicles must take a coach to the bus station and then transfer to public transportation—it's exceedingly troublesome—and after the meeting, they must find a way back...
Today's situation was different; at least none of the soldiers from the Linghai Reserve Camp wanted to eat the city's food, as they were eager to return home after being away for so long.
