Chapter 123: If the sky is lovely, the sky will be old

These days, everyone has gone to various places, fighting on the front line of rescue, feeling the grief of life and death every day, tasting the hardships of physical and mental exhaustion, and at the same time being moved by many things. In this rescue operation, Cao An's Hengan Media also truthfully recorded and passed on these singing and crying deeds to the public.

These deeds are about the military:

After the earthquake, Wenchuan, the epicenter, lost contact with the outside world for more than 30 hours, and the superiors decided to rush into Wenchuan to carry out rescue. The chief of staff of the division took the initiative to ask for help, and led the officers and men to Wenchuan as soon as possible, advancing to Wenchuan at all costs, and opening up a life channel as soon as possible. Due to the damage to the road, vehicles are impassable. The chief of staff ordered to abandon the vehicle, bring the equipment, and advance on foot, even if it climbs, it must climb to Wenchuan. They supported each other and moved forward as they drove the way. When encountering a valley, everyone uses their hands and feet to climb up step by step, and when they go down, everyone slides down like a slide. At 23:15 on the 13th, 200 warriors, after 21 hours, marched more than 90 kilometers on foot and became the first rescue force to reach Wenchuan County. Wenchuan, which had been isolated for 33 hours after the earthquake, had contact with the outside world. When this unit appeared in Wenchuan City, the entire epicenter area was boiling, and the people at the epicenter were in tears as if they had seen their long-lost relatives, and at that moment, people knew that the motherland had not given up on them, and they were saved.

There are also fifteen warriors of the Airborne Forces who landed in Maoxian. At that time, dozens of hours had passed since the earthquake, and Maoxian, the hardest-hit area, had lost communications and blocked roads, becoming a lonely city. In order to grasp the details of the situation in Maoxian County and open the rescue channel, the higher-level leaders decided to implement the airborne. Having received the order to parachute, the fighters quickly prepared. Due to the complicated topography of the plateau, the airborne landing was again under the "three nos" conditions of no meteorological data, no ground guidance, and no ground markings, and the soldiers were prepared for the worst. When reaching the sky above Mao County, some people had symptoms of chest tightness and dizziness. The commander shouted: "The disaster is an order, the people in the disaster area, the people in the disaster area are looking forward to us". At 11:47 a.m. on May 14, the moment the hatch opened, the 15 warriors of the Airborne Forces jumped from a height of 4,999 meters. At that time, I really didn't know whether the jump was life or death, but they did not hesitate to open the rescue channel! These were Chinese soldiers! Half an hour later, the disaster situation of the "isolated island" at the epicenter was reported for the first time.

On May 13, Jing Lijie, a soldier of the Mianzhu City Fire Brigade who was rescuing Wudu Primary School in Wudu Town, Mianzhu City, made a shocking shout. At about 10 o'clock in the morning, at the most critical time of rescue, the ruins of the teaching building suddenly collapsed twice in the aftershock. In order to protect the rescuers, the fire command immediately ordered a temporary withdrawal and waited for the aftershocks to pass before waiting for the opportunity to enter. However, at this time, there is still a child in the rubble calling for help. Jing Lijie subconsciously turned around and ran towards the ruins, the aftershocks hit again, and a huge concrete block was about to sink, and his comrades pulled Jing Lijie to death. He knelt down with his legs weak, crying and shouting: "I know it's dangerous, I know that if I go in, I may not be able to come back, but please, let me save another one! I can save another one!" During the entire rescue process, Jing Lijie searched and rescued at least 300 people.

From the ruins, there was a young cry for help: the two three-storey teaching buildings of Qushan Primary School, close to the mountains behind them, after the earthquake, the falling rocks pressed the buildings into two floors, and the first floor sank directly into the ground. Among them, the roof of one building has been lifted and it is leaning diagonally in front of it. In the ruins, there are the remains of young children, crushed in the deformed cement steel bars; Under the rubble, the faint cries for help of children could be heard...... Rescuers burrowed into the deformed building, and followed the sound to see some children sitting in the rubble with their legs pressed upright, and some children leaning next to their dead classmates...... Since the earthquake struck at 2:28 p.m. on the 12th, the children have been in this position for a full 48 hours. The children are now supported by the water brought by the parents who came to find them. When the earthquake struck Zhang Lizheng, a student in Class 1 of Grade 5, several of his classmates were hit by collapsed steel bars and cement blocks. When he came to his senses, he found that his right thigh was firmly stuck, and the three classmates lying next to him were no longer breathing, and the body of one of them had been lying on his lap. In a ruin only 3 meters away from Zhang Lizheng, a child's lower body was firmly stuck, as soon as he heard someone on the ground talking, he stretched out a small hand and shouted: "Uncle, save my ......" Li Yue, who is in class 3 of the fifth grade, also had to sit in the ruins of the building on the right because her right leg was stuck, and the remains of 3 classmates were lying beside her. In a space of less than 50 centimeters under the rubble, more than 10 children were heard crying for help and asking for water. In the past two days, the children trapped under the rubble have met with a number of rescue workers, including parents, local villagers, rescuers, and special police officers from Tianjin. 200 special police officers rushed to the scene at 6 pm on the 13th, although they have successfully rescued more than 400 trapped people trapped in Beichuan County, Jingjia Village, Kuzhuba Reservoir, power station and other places. However, he was unable to do anything because the only rescue tools in his hand were shovels and steel drills. The SWAT officers were helpless against the children crushed in the rubble for help, and they did not dare to pry the floor slabs indiscriminately, fearing that the whole building would collapse; Nor did they dare to take a rude approach to the rescue. There was nothing the SWAT could do, they wept while comforting their children and cried loudly as they walked out of the playground.

A soldier's distress letter at the end of the world: "Why is the damage caused by the Jiangyou earthquake not broadcast on TV now, my wife is now 7 months pregnant, there is no food and water, I contacted this morning, and she is already hungry...... Urgent need for ...... Now there is no rescue team to Jiangyou, and the last Jiangyou disaster on TV has not been reported, I am also a soldier, and our troops are now on standby to prepare to go to Wenchuan, Sichuan Province for disaster relief, and I am willing to contribute all my strength to the villagers in the disaster relief area...... But there was no one to save my wife...... I'm about to leave and it may be difficult to contact her...... Although no matter what, I will do my best to rob the villagers in the Wenchuan disaster relief area...... But I hope that the villagers in Jiangyou can also bring her something to eat, even if it is a bottle of mineral water...... Please, fellow...... She is now in a van on the road in front of China Telecom's doorstep in Maluwan...... His name is Wang Zhuo, he is a teacher, please help me...... The plea of a soldier who went to Wenchuan for disaster relief, knowing that no one in Jiangyou would definitely be able to see this post, hoped that people outside could contact Jiangyou's compatriots for help. "Although no one knows what happened to this soldier, and no one knows what happened to this soldier's wife, everyone knows that we must not let our soldiers shed blood and tears, and believe that with the help of the masses, good people will live safely.

These deeds also have stories about ordinary people:

"Dear baby, if you live, remember that I love you. "It's a text message that a mother left for her three- or four-month-old baby. When rescuers found her, she was dead, crushed by a collapsed house. Through the gap in the pile of ruins, you can see her death posture, kneeling on her knees, her whole upper body prostrate forward, supporting her body with both hands on the ground, some like the ancients kneeling and worshipping, but her body was deformed by pressure, and it looked a little weird. Rescuers reached through a gap in the rubble to confirm that she was dead, and shouted at the rubble a few more times, knocking on the bricks with a crowbar, but there was no response. When the crowd walked to the next building, the rescue team leader suddenly ran back, shouting "come here" as he ran. He came to her corpse again, laboriously reached under the woman's body and groped, he touched it a few times and shouted loudly, "Someone, there is a child, still alive". After some effort, the people carefully cleared the rubble that blocked her, and under her body lay her child, wrapped in a small red quilt with yellow flowers, about 3 or 4 months old, because his mother was sheltered, he was unharmed, and when he was carried out, he was still sleeping quietly, and his sleeping face made everyone present feel very warm. The accompanying doctor came to untie the quilt and prepare to do some examinations, and found that there was a mobile phone stuffed in the quilt, the doctor subconsciously looked at the mobile phone screen, and found that the screen was a text message that had been written, "Dear baby, if you can live, you must remember that I love you", and the doctor who was used to seeing life and death cried at this moment.

Tan Qianqiu, a teacher killed in Deyang Dongqi Middle School, used his arms to protect four students: When the earthquake struck, the teaching building of Dongqi Middle School in Deyang City, Sichuan Province collapsed. At the moment of the earthquake, Tan Qianqiu, the school's director of teaching, was lying on his desk with his arms outstretched, protecting four students under him, all four students were rescued, but Teacher Tan was unfortunately killed. On May 14, Zhang Guanrong was wiping the body of her husband Tan Qianqiu, but she never thought that the legendary hero who saved the four students turned out to be her beloved husband.

124-hour toilet paper to catch urine to survive: In Renhe Village, Yinghua Town, Shifang, Deyang City, Liu Deyun, a female employee of Yingfeng Industrial Company, who produces compound fertilizer, was buried in the rubble along with Bian Gangfen. They kept encouraging each other in the ruins, believing that they would be rescued. In order to prevent themselves from falling asleep and dying, as soon as they found that they were sleepy, they fanned themselves with their hands, and when they were thirsty, they used the toilet paper on their bodies to catch urine to maintain their lives. At 6:30 p.m. on the 16th, Liu Deyun, who was buried in the rubble, was successfully rescued. At 12:42 on the 17th, firefighters scrubbed a 2-meter-long hose clean and delivered milk and mineral water to Bian Gangfen. At 18:13, firefighters carried Bian Gangfen out of the dangerous building on a stretcher. She was blindfolded and had teardrops in the corners of her eyes. The doctor on call immediately gave her a brief examination and put her in an ambulance. At this time, it had been 124 hours since Bian Gangfen was buried.

Lei Chunian, 15 years old, a student in the third class of Cifeng Middle School in Pengzhou City, did not escape during the earthquake, but rushed into the classroom to save his classmates. He ran to his classroom and found that there were still seven classmates all squatting in the corner of the classroom, and immediately rushed downstairs with them. In the last few seconds, the building collapsed, and he and seven classmates survived.

Rescued after 150 hours of amputation: Yu Jinhua, a staff member of Yingxiu Town Hydropower Company, was successfully rescued by the Shandong Public Security Fire Brigade at 20:10 on the 18th. From the time the earthquake struck to the time she escaped, Yu Jinhua was buried in the rubble for 150 hours, and rescuers rescued her for 56 hours. Yu Jinhua was buried under a six-layer cement slab, which was littered with stones and cement columns, making it difficult for rescuers to judge the load-bearing parts. In order to ensure Yu Jinhua's life, the rescuers adopted five different plans. The last resort used by the rescuers was to dig a hole above the rubble. The cement slab pressed against Yu Jinhua was pierced layer by layer. But Yu Jinhua's lower limbs have also been crushed and necrotic by the cement slab, dying, and at the same time, she was blocked by the body of a victim, and the leakage of corpse water caused by dragging out the body may endanger Yu Jinhua's life. The collapse caused by the aftershocks made rescue extremely difficult, and the diameter of the cavern was reduced from 40 centimeters to 20 centimeters at one point. It took nearly two hours for doctors to perform a high amputation on Yu Jinhua. She was eventually rescued.

The bodies of three students were broken in two: In the earthquake, the teaching building of Shifang Longju Primary School collapsed, and hundreds of teachers and students were buried under the rubble. While cleaning up the rubble, it was found that the body of the English teacher Xiang Qian was broken in two, and her face was bloody and blurred. But her hands were still clasped tightly around the two students. No matter how much people broke it, they couldn't break her hands that were tightly holding the students. All the people present who participated in the rescue burst into tears and spontaneously bowed to Xiang Qian's body. When the earthquake struck, Xiang Qian evacuated students from their classrooms. Seeing two students at a loss, she strode over, grabbed one with one hand, and rushed out the door. The school building suddenly collapsed, and she and several students were buried in the rubble. Xiang Qian's father, Xiang Zhonghai, is the vice principal of Nanquan Primary School in Shifang, and he was overwhelmed with grief when he heard the bad news about his daughter: "I can understand that as a teacher, it should be like this!

SURVIVE WITH MOM'S HEAD IN HER MOUTH: A YOUNG MOM HUDDLES UP IN THE RUBBLE WITH A THREE- OR FOUR-MONTH-OLD BABY IN HER ARMS. She lowered her head, her blouse lifted up, she had lost her breath, and the baby girl in her arms was still comfortably holding her mother's RU head, sucking, and her red face was in stark contrast to her mother's dusty breasts. On the afternoon of May 13, when rescuers carefully picked up the baby girl from her mother's RU head in a collapsed house by the Dujiangyan River, she immediately began to cry. From the posture of the mother holding the child, it can be seen that she is deliberately protecting her child, perhaps before she died, she put her RU head into her daughter's mouth. ”

A 12-year-old girl was killed in helping her classmates evacuate: Zou Wen, a 1.6-meter-tall Tibetan girl from Yingxiu Primary School in Wenchuan County, is a student in the first class of the fifth grade, 12 years old, the class leader and the captain of the school's Young Pioneers, she is the fifth sprinter in the county sports meeting, when her body was found, her hand was still tightly supporting a classmate, and at a glance she knew that she was helping the teacher organize the evacuation of her classmates. If she hadn't helped the teacher save her classmates, with her speed, she would have run down by herself, and she would definitely not have had an accident!

Teacher Wu Zhonghong was killed in order to save the last two students in the class: during the first class on the afternoon of May 12, the classroom suddenly shook, and he and his classmates screamed in fright: "Students, don't panic, don't bring anything, follow me down!" He waved his hand and motioned for the class to follow him out. At that time, the staircase was crowded together, and most of the students in the fifth class of junior high school followed behind Mr. Wu. Suddenly, the classmates in the back shouted: "There are still two classmates in the classroom......" "Teacher Wu looked very nervous, and immediately turned around, we have reached the staircase on the third floor, but he ran to the fourth floor again, we ran downstairs, the house collapsed, and Teacher Wu was gone...... "This is a saved student said. He sacrificed himself for the sake of the other two students. He is Wu Zhonghong, a teacher from Huaiyuan Middle School in Chongzhou City.

He saved all the students and his wife didn't care: in the Wenchuan earthquake, many children who were in class were buried under the rubble forever by the disaster that caught them off guard. However, a Hope Primary School in the mountains of Dengjiahaiyuan Village, 15 miles from the county seat of Beichuan, survived the devastating earthquake – not only did the school building not collapse at all, but all 483 primary school students and staff who were attending the school were miraculously evacuated safely. After spending a night of hunger and cold in the mountains, nine teachers and 71 children crossed the mountains and mountains through the disaster area to the safety of Mianyang City. Mr. Shen Changshu is one of the 9. On May 12, he lost seven of his loved ones, and his wife also broke a leg in the earthquake. "I haven't been to see her, and I don't know where she's now. She understands me. ”

The most famous donor: He is an old man begging in Jiangning District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, named Xu Chao. At noon on the 15th, he donated 5 yuan to the fundraising point; At 3 p.m., he came again, this time donating 100 yuan and stuffing it into a donation box, which stunned the staff. He said that when he donated at noon, he was embarrassed to take it out because he had change on his body, and then he went to the bank to exchange it for 100 yuan before he took it to donate "The people in the disaster area are more difficult than me, and their lives are threatened, it's not easy!" He said. According to an insider report on the 19th, Xu Chao donated another 339.01 yuan.

The 11-year-old brother escaped with his 3-year-old sister on his back in the disaster: a stream of people who escaped from the mountains behind him. Their eyes are full of attachment to their loved ones, for fear of being separated again. 11-year-old Zhang Jiwan carried his 3-and-a-half-year-old sister Zhang Han on his back and walked very hard. The grandfather and grandmother who traveled with him were already old, and his parents were working outside, so Xiao Jiwan bravely took on the responsibility of a little man. Departure at 5 a.m. and it's been 12 hours of walking. Little Jiwan said that he loved his sister very much. The children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and when they are in trouble, they show their true colors as men, and they are good.

Of course, there are some discordant things in this:

Some people even ridiculed the affected people on the Internet during the earthquake, maliciously slandered the disaster relief officers and soldiers, and were immediately besieged by netizens.

There were also some people who took advantage of the chaos during the earthquake to commit all kinds of illegal acts. One of them took advantage of the fact that many people were sleeping out to the outside and became lustful and attempted to rape a woman who was sleeping outside, and was finally brought to justice.

There is also the famous Fan Run Run. When the earthquake struck, Fan Meizhong was the first to escape from the classroom, regardless of the safety of the students. Ten days after the earthquake, he posted on the forum "The Mountains Shook at That Moment - "5.12" Wenchuan Earthquake Personal Experience" said: "I am a person who pursues freedom and justice, but I am not a person who has the courage to sacrifice myself before others! At this moment of life and death decision, I can only consider sacrificing myself for the sake of my daughter, and other people, even my mother, will not care in this situation." Because I can't hold an adult, I can't escape one by one. Fan Meizhong was nicknamed "Fan Ran Run" by netizens because of this.
