Chapter 1507 Subsidence Zone
There was a flood in Lindong County, just half a month ago. This year's winter was different from usual, with a week of heavy rain before the blizzard.
It rains for so long in winter, which is not only rare in the whole country, but even many meteorological experts cannot figure out the exact reason.
The county seat is poor, in the northernmost part of Huazhou City. Four years ago, after Shishan County was lifted out of poverty under the leadership of Fang Wenzhou, Lindong County became the penultimate county and the poorest county in the entire Huazhou.
While most urban families already have access to smartphones and computers, many families in Lindong County can't even afford to eat meat.
Lindong County is a very interesting place. Ten years ago, the economy of Hwashu was among the best, and ten years later, it is miserable.
The fundamental reason for this is that it was once a mining area. When the mines were mined, a large number of people were rich.
Later, the mine was depleted, and due to overexploitation, the land in Lindong County was riddled with holes, and many houses became dilapidated.
It was precisely because of the danger that the rich all moved away and sold the dilapidated houses at very cheap prices to the poor people from the countryside and the original Lindong County.
The so-called ten years of Hedong and ten years of Hexi have been vividly interpreted by Lindong County. Ten years ago, Lindong County was so rich, and ten years later, Lindong County was miserable.
Those who have made a fortune through the mines, as well as those leaders who have been promoted, these have
The "capable" people have already left here early. They were replaced by a group of newcomers. New leadership, as well as new residents.
These people have no idea about the dilapidated houses in the mines. I don't know that any natural disaster will be infinitely magnified in such an environment.
Take this year's floods, for example. A heavy rain caused wild lakes and reservoirs in Lindong County to swell and burst out of the dam and into the city.
Due to the over-exploitation of the ground back then, the softness and sinking of the soil instantly became a nightmare for everyone.
The ground seemed to have been torn open, and the five-story small western-style building was swallowed into the ground in an instant. Many residents couldn't reflect it, so they buried it forever in the ground along with the house they had saved all their lives.
The city immediately arranged rescue and assistance. Not only firefighters, but also other soldiers in many places joined the rescue operation.
Braving the icy rain, these soldiers put on a layer of raincoats and rushed into the disaster area. The mud was heavy, and the truck couldn't get in.
They put their sandbags on their shoulders and rushed into the dam one after another. So there was such a scene.
In the cold rainstorm, the people ran out desperately crying and screaming, while the soldiers rushed desperately inside with sandbags.
These are two very different groups of people. The contrast is striking. And those helpless people in the disaster area, when they saw these soldiers rushing towards them, it was like seeing God.
In fact, these warriors really became gods. The dam was torn too big.
A death order was given "from above". In any case, those floodwaters can no longer be allowed to rush into Lindong County. The topography and land conditions of the city are complex, and once the water continues to rush into the county seat unscrupulously, the situation inside is unimaginable.
The words "no matter what" became the only thing that the fighters wrote down in their hearts. So when the sandbags were filled, some of the fighters who couldn't get out of the flood or lost their strength simply filled the flood pit with their bodies.
Forever filled there. The rescue lasted 37 hours until the rain stopped. Until, the torrential rain gradually turned into a blizzard.
Yes. The vast majority of people were saved. But there are many Chinese soldiers who have become a string of characters on the tombstone because of this rescue.
They became heroes. These two words are all the glory of a person's life, and they also represent the whole journey of a person's life.
Due to geological reasons, Lindong County is no longer suitable for habitation. A meeting was held overnight in Huazhou City, and it was finally decided to transfer the refugees to the northern part of Lindong County.
But transfer to transfer, who comes
"Accommodating" these refugees became a problem. At this time, the living conditions in the surrounding cities are almost already saturated, and the sudden arrival of a large number of refugees will definitely cause a huge burden.
But the weather was cold, and it was the Spring Festival period, so the city finally made a decision. Set up camp in tents.
As for later, let's talk about it. The plan was implemented as soon as it was formulated, and the refugees finally had a place to stay in the cold.
The matter in Lindong County quickly spread out, and it also received high social attention. A lot of aid materials from all over the country have entered a Chinese foundation in the form of donations.
There were old clothes, there was food, and of course there was cash. Entrepreneurs and celebrities have also taken the lead and began to donate money and materials to the disaster area.
There will even be many people who will put down their work and rush to the first scene to do what they can.
Lindong County is very small, but it also has a population of more than 100,000 after all. The area covered by the disaster was very large, and almost the entire city was severely affected.
The only fortunate thing is that the surrounding towns and villages escaped the catastrophe. Many city residents have sought refuge with relatives in the countryside, but tens of thousands of people still have nowhere to go.
Living in a tent is not a long-term solution. In the end, the above met to decide: where to fall, where to get up.
Lindong County needs to be rebuilt. However, the reconstruction of Lindong County is a long and complicated process, during which many livelihood problems of the victims must be solved.
Hard conditions such as water supply, power supply, medical care, and education are indispensable. This is a very huge expense for the city and the Lindong County government.
At this time, outside assistance becomes a top priority. As said before. The fighters and soldiers of the firefighters rushed to the front line, blocking the most violent attack of the disaster.
And the follow-up of the disaster needs a large number of people to fill it. When the people of the whole country learned of this situation, they volunteered to do something for the people in the disaster area.
More and more professions are joining this one
"Battlefield". Compared to other professions, doctors and teachers are particularly important at this time. In the eyes of the vast majority of people, no matter what, children's education cannot be lost.
After the Spring Festival, how to let children continue to study in this environment has become the key. It is for this reason that Huazhou City issued a call to invite many caring people from related professions to help the disaster area tide over this difficulty.
And Chen Lan and Wang Li rushed to the disaster area under this call. Lindong County needs to be rebuilt, and the schools in Lindong County must also be rebuilt.
But rebuilding is a long and painful process. During this period, people in the disaster area have to spend time in makeshift camps outside.
No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education. This is a general policy, a last word, and a call. After the disaster, many teachers in schools in Lindong County have left, and seeing that these children will not be able to study after the Spring Festival, the city leaders and parents are naturally anxious.
So when Chen Lan and Wang Li rushed to the scene of the disaster area, they were warmly supported and loved.
Unexpectedly, when Chen Lan was directing the construction of a temporary school, there was a sudden accident.
