Ecological Literature 丨 The Yangtze River Defense War of the Family

Unsurprisingly, the sun just showed up, and the temperature jumped 38 ° C. Walking on the Jingzhou section of the north bank of the Yangtze River, the cicada is noisy, and the hot wind fluttering. People are like being in an oven.

"It's about to enter the Sanfu, it's really hot every day." Chen Jingxu, who was walking in front of me, said with a little guilty.

The temperature is high, the humidity is high, and the temperature of the somatoscope exceeds 40 ° C. Chen Jingxu walked while walking and comforted me, "It will be better on the boat. There are water winds on the river, and our cockpit also adds air conditioners and fan."

A medium -sized dirty ship named "Jing Changjing" stood at the Jianhua pipeline, and the sun hooked the green hull out of the gold outline. After boarding the boat, I discovered that Chen Jingxu's wife, Sun Hongyan, was already busy on the boat. She and two or three worker masters collected domestic garbage accumulated from the shore boat last night. The sweat made everyone wet. Sun Hongyan said: "Now the working environment is much better than in the past, and the ship owner cooperates than before."

At the end of 2018, the couple sold the house, raised 1.4 million yuan, plus 800,000 yuan in the Hong Kong and Airways Bureau, and set up a new ship with a bedroom and a kitchen. There was no need to eat steamed buns for drinking water. More importantly, new ships can load more garbage and clear oil sewage.

This is the second time they sell houses for boats. The first time was after the husband and wife were laid off in 2007. In order to make a living, they sold their housing housing, bought the ships and pickup trucks that cleared the garbage, and worked on the Yangtze River garbage to clear the operating student.

The ship was named "Jing Changjing No. 1", which means to protect the Jingzhou Yangtze River clean. "We all grew up by the river, and the memories of childhood were clear river water. Now we see oil, garbage, and dead fish polluting the river surface, and we are particularly eager to let the environment return to the past one day." Sun Hongyan said.

If you want the Jingzhou Yangtze River to clean, you must eat hard first. The flute sounded, and "Jing Changjing" set off in Jin Guang. Just now the time of the cleaning of the transportation is Chen Jingxu's most bitter day: as long as the weather allows, the couple will start from the Jianhua pipeline pier, and drive more than 10 kilometers to drive the boat to collect ship garbage along the river until the Jingzhou tourist terminal stops. I was busy until I returned in the afternoon, put the garbage ashore, put on pickup trucks, and dragged to the nearest pot. If the weather is not suitable for shipping, the couple will drive along the river dock along the river and get on board one by one.

All beginnings are hard. Although she grew up by the river, Sun Hongyan had no water experience. When she first boarded the ship, bumps and shaking made her nausea, and often holding railings to retider. Twisting is all overwhelmed, let alone work, even walking without energy. From 7 am in the morning, it was difficult to get out of the sunset to get off the ship and go back to the room to sleep. She felt that the bed was shaking. But the next day, I will get up as usual, and then continue to work repeatedly from 7 o'clock.

In this way, after a long time, Sun Hongyan finally got used to the life on board. However, the real difficulties are still behind. The work of the couple covers the entire Jingzhou Port. On the way, every ship where they is anchored, they have to ask for inquiries, whether there is a need for transshipment. After receiving the crew of the crew, Chen Jingxu will slowly drive the ship to approach the target, and then put the cable between the two ships. Waiting for preparations, he wore a life jacket, stepped on the top of the clear ship to climb to another ship, and handed the garbage that needed to be transferred to the waiting wife.

When Chen Jingxu was busy, Sun Hongyan was also busy doing garbage classification, making more room for the upcoming garbage. Afterwards, the couple sent the garbage to the land with a pickup, and asked the sanitation workers to deal with it further.

Both eyes opened, busy at lighting. Turning down a day, not to fight in a battle, exhausted, but it was gratifying that the garbage weighed by the hand was sent to the garbage treatment station and was not put into the Yangtze River.

Occasionally, when they saw the garbage floating objects on the river on the way, they would also use the net pocket to salvage. The summer is hot, the cab is hot like a steamer, the board is hot, and the skin will be exposed to several layers. The garbage transported on the boat will emit a bad smell. The couple were distressed and embarrassed, because no matter how bathing, it was difficult to remove the pungent smell on her body. When contacting others, I often feel embarrassed.

In winter, the cold wind is like a knife, the deck is frozen, and it is very slippery. It is easy to slide down and wrestling. They must move carefully to ensure safety. There is no electricity on the boat, and the fire can not be used. The couple blows the cold wind for a long time on the river, and they can only use boiling water to soak the buns and drink it.

Sometimes when the meal is here, there is just a cruise ship, and they have to clean up the garbage continuously. The garbage of more than 2 tons is transferred out and 6 hours passed. Not only can you rest for a moment, you can't even drink hot tea.

"It is a very meaningful thing to defend the Yangtze River. It doesn't matter if you are tired and stinky. The most afraid of the ship owner is not cooperating and the garbage is not easy to collect." Sun Hongyan said that the ship owner had a poor sense of environmental protection before. Think of money to make various means.

"Some are noisy with you, some do not see the door closed, and some threatened with ax ..." Sun Hongyan said that the charges are not high, and the price bureau does not have specific standards. Hundreds of yuan for thousands of tons and 50 yuan of hundreds of tons. The average boat from the port of Jingzhou to the departure, only 30 yuan for a few days. It is not easy for couples to charge for cleaning garbage, but it is not understood and looked down upon by many people.

On one occasion, a large cargo ship owner put the silt cleaned by the bottom of the ship as garbage. In order to avoid conflicts, Chen Jingxu and Sun Hongyan carried the heavy mud on their bags on their boat without a word. Another time, they were going to board the ship to collect garbage. The crew threw the garbage into the Yangtze River in front of them, and then closed the door. The couple had to salvage the garbage and leave the boat. "If the garbage is not collected, the crew will throw it around, and there will be floating things everywhere in the river." Chen Jingxu explained that the Yangtze River Maritime Department will supervise them anytime, anywhere. The houses were sold, and all their families were detained on this boat. In order to make a living, the couple gritted their teeth. 365 days a year is full, and the cleaning of the Yangtze River is always guarded.

Fortunately, the country's importance to the Yangtze River ecology is getting higher and higher, not only proposed "common protection, not big development", but also implemented the Yangtze River protection strategy. These changes have brought a lot of convenience to the couple: the garbage classification on board has a clear implementation rules, and the environmental awareness of the ship owners has greatly enhanced. The garbage collection is much smoother than before, and the couple finally ushered in a good time.

In September 2019, as the "garbage clearance operation" on the Yangtze River, both husband and wife were selected into the "China Good Man List". The deeds of the care of the Yangtze River ecology have spread widely. The Municipal Port and Airlines Administration subsidized 800,000 yuan to realize that the garbage collection service was free of charge by government purchasing services.

The slightly comfortable water breeze blows, and the hard work of 15 spring and autumn is not in vain. Chen Jingxu said: "Now the sand factory on the side of the river has been demolished, and all of them have been green after the disassembly. Without the water increase, this water can be seen on the river on the surface of the river."

Jingzhou began in the pre -Qin period of nine thousand miles of clouds, and it was born of water. Rolling the Yangtze River flowing across the Yangtze River. The two sides of the strait are python -like towering embankments.

After the rain, the north bank of the Yangtze River was covered with a layer of water vapor, green trees and green trees, colorful flowers, breeze and waves, and the waves were shore.

Today, there are more and more porpoons in the Yangtze River. Sun Hongyan said that the frequent frequency of porpoons in spring and winter is higher, and there are still fewer scenes of seeing multi -headed porphyol in summer. Porpherds generally play in groups from downstream.

The Yangtze River reflected the blue sky and white clouds, the wind blew ripples, and the river flowed eastward. "Jing Changjing" went to the destination against the water, aroused white waves. On both sides of the boat, a group of water birds flew against the wind against the wind, passing through the vast river from time to time.

"Mom, don't you say that in the morning and evening, there are big birds flying over the Yangtze River for a while? Why didn't I see it?" I looked up and found that it was a young man about thirty. "His name was called Chen Qing is our son. "Sun Hongyan was proud." Affected by us, he obtained the crew certificate. Now our family has joined the Yangtze River Defense War. "

The previous year, the couple set up a company, and also hired two staff members. The garbage clearance became more professional and efficient. The son who went to the rain with them from a young age, considering that his parents arrived at the age of Ben Liu, they resolutely gave up Wuhan's superior work and rushed back to Jingzhou to join.

Chen Qing said that "Jing Changjing" equipment is becoming more and more modern. There are 4 cabins that can be equipped with 40 cubic meters of domestic sewage and 20 cubic oil sewage wastewater. There are 4 trash cans on the deck to accommodate 40 kg of life Rubbish. In addition to the daily voyage from 7 am to 5 pm every day, when you encounter a demand cargo ship, you will also help the transfer in time. Through the "ship E line" mobile phone software, you can receive the information of bargers, cargo ships, and cruise ships.

"The family's relay to defend the Yangtze River is not only to survive, but also not just to survive." Looking at the "Jing Changjing", which was gradually drifting away, Sun Hongyan's words were floating on the clear and crisp river.
