Chapter 395: You must not sit idly by
In the VIP waiting room of Baiyun Airport, the people who were waiting for the plane all raised their heads in unison, and countless eyes converged on the screen of the LCD TV. So all the programs that were being broadcast were suspended, and every channel was running a "breaking news" line.
"Audience friends, this is the China Television News Channel, and now I will broadcast you a piece of "Breaking News". According to the National Earthquake Network, at 14:28 Beijing time on May 12, 2008, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake occurred in Wenchuan County, Shuchuan Province (31.0 degrees north latitude, 103.4 degrees east longitude). According to the news from various channels, the earthquake was felt in Yudu, Xiangchu, Jingchu, Nanshan, Qinchuan, Hedong, Yanjing, Hanhai and other places, and the national earthquake emergency plan has been activated......"
Although the hostess of China Television on the screen has a pale face and bloodless lips, her voice maintains the usual standard, but anyone can hear a trace of panic and sadness behind the standard Mandarin.
Although there is no live picture broadcast in this "breaking news", from the earthquake scale and scientific analysis given in the news, everyone who sees this news will have great worries.
Such a large earthquake occurred in Shuchuan Province, which is known for its dense population, and the damage and casualties caused must have been very heavy.
The VIP waiting room fell silent all of a sudden, and everyone looked at ZOSE's "Breaking News" intently, with worry in their eyes.
Not only in this small VIP waiting room, but also outside the airport at this time, in the entire Huacheng City, the entire Guangdong Province, and the whole of China, everyone is paying attention to this news and this sudden incident.
Because this earthquake happened on the land of the motherland, and the victims of these earthquakes are also compatriots.
Passengers in the VIP lounge were talking about the earthquake, and some passengers from Shuchuan Province were anxiously calling to find out the whereabouts of their loved ones, but none of them could get through.
In times of great disaster, communication has become so important, it cares about every person and every heart.
Everyone wants to know what the situation of the Wenchuan earthquake is, how large the disaster area is, how many people are affected, and whether there is any risk of aftershocks..... This was the information that ordinary people were most concerned about, but in the early days of the earthquake, it was impossible to know everything due to traffic jams and communication disruptions.
Even the most authoritative China Television Station in China cannot provide more information at present, and it can only broadcast the data provided by the National Earthquake Administration and a few simple pictures provided by Shuchuan Provincial TV Station repeatedly.
While everyone was chattering and discussing, I don't know who shouted.
"Look at Weibo, there is news of the disaster area on Weibo. ”
This sound was like a big stone falling into the calm surface of the lake, and it suddenly stirred up ripples.
Most of the passengers in the VIP waiting room belong to the middle class or above, of course, most of them are Weibo users, and soon some people took out their laptops and browsed Weibo, and some users who have not used Weibo have asked others.
"What is Weibo, and what do you think of Weibo?"
In the meantime, Ren Pingsheng, as the founder of Weibo, also quickly turned on his computer and logged on to Weibo.
@任平生的账号刚上线, I was woken up by a series of Weibo message prompts, which is one of the many functions developed by Wang Xing's team for Weibo, which regularly pushes the most popular news and Weibo every day, so that more users can understand the consultation and get close to the scene at the first time.
The first one is a Weibo that was posted just 1 minute ago.
This Weibo was sent from a mobile phone Weibo, with no pictures, just a short sentence.
"@秀秀: There was an earthquake here, and my sister and I had just run out when our house collapsed and we called for help. ”
There is no other explanation or explanation for this Weibo other than this sentence, but the geographical location of the Weibo tail shows that the location of the Weibo poster is in Yingxiu Town, Wenzhou City.
After this Weibo appeared, it immediately received tens of millions of retweets, and countless Weibo bloggers reposted it while commenting below.
Some people are concerned about the situation in the disaster area and have asked:
"Xiuxiu, do you have any aftershocks there?"
"Xiuxiu, can you tell me how many of your houses have collapsed there, and are there any casualties?"
"Little girl, how powerful is the earthquake, and can the disaster area be able to make a phone call now?"
......
Some people are concerned about the safety of the sisters, and they have made suggestions on Weibo:
"Sister Xiuxiu, quickly hide with your sister in a flat and open place outdoors, and don't stay near the building. ”
"Xiao Xiuxiu, where is your nearest school playground, go and hide there, it's the safest there. ”
"Xiuxiu, do you have food and water, don't go back to the house. ”
.....
Others are concerned about the damage to other compatriots.
"Xiuxiu, can you post a few more Weibo posts to tell us what the disaster area needs most?"
"Xiuxiu, what's the situation now, can you say a few more words?"
"Xiuxiu, are you still there?"
......
It's just that @秀秀在发完这条微博后 fell into a long silence, and she neither responded to her blogger's inquiries nor published new Weibo.
This abnormal situation made the bloggers who paid attention to the earthquake on Weibo very worried, and everyone was anxious, asking about the situation of @秀秀, which raised the number of retweets of this Weibo to another level.
Ren Pingsheng browsed all the recent Weibo on the time stream, in addition to the Weibo of @Xiuxiu, there were new Weibo posts from the disaster area and bloggers near the disaster area, the content of their Weibo is different, but they all spread the information of the disaster area.
The more Ren Pingsheng watched it, the more sad he became, and the more he watched it, the more thrilling he felt.
As a reborn, Ren Pingsheng has of course had an experience of the earthquake and is well aware of the casualties and losses caused by the earthquake, and because of his profession, he has also participated in the post-disaster counterpart support and reconstruction work, and has personally contacted and understood the survivors who lost their loved ones in the disaster, as well as their difficult process of rebuilding their lives.
In the six months after completing the counterpart support mission, he also dreamed of those miserable scenes many times, as well as those people who lost their will to survive and their eyes were numb and dull.
Due to the great impact and impact caused by this disaster, Ren Pingsheng has avoided recalling these situations since his rebirth, intentionally or unintentionally avoiding this incident.
He even had a fluke mentality that rebirth was a timeline in another parallel universe, and perhaps in this timeline, a major earthquake would not happen.
But the facts ruthlessly crushed Ren Pingsheng's luck mentality.
The earthquake still happened, and everything was the same as it had been in the previous life.
Faced with the cruel reality, looking at the new information about the disaster area that is constantly refreshed and scrolled out on Weibo, and listening to the words of others discussing the earthquake and the disaster situation, Ren Pingsheng only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and his whole body was soaked in cold, but his heart began to surge with raging heat.
In his previous life, Ren Pingsheng was just an idle bystander, and in the face of the disasters suffered by his compatriots, he was limited in what he could do.
In addition to contributing a few months' salary to the disaster area and donating blood to the scarce blood type a few times, Ren Pingsheng, like the vast majority of Chinese people, wanted to do more for the disaster-stricken compatriots, but he had more than enough energy to do it.
And in this life, Ren Pingsheng is no longer a bystander, and the abilities and resources he has are unimaginable in his previous life.
Now Ren Pingsheng has hundreds of millions of assets, can use the network resources of all walks of life, and has a very influential social media platform, he is fully capable of doing more for the disaster area and the affected compatriots.
It is not only the instinctive reaction of a person with a sound conscience, but also an unshirkable obligation as a member of this country.
If the country is in trouble, the people will help, and if the people are in trouble, the country will be saved.
At this juncture when the whole country is shocked and the whole people are mourning, someone must stand up and make contributions to the country and compatriots within their ability.
This time, Ren Pingsheng must not sit idly by.
