"The home is gone, but we still have a pair of hands!" - The Sichuan "9 · 5" Luding earthquake -stricken area

Xinhua News Agency, Chengdu, September 8th (Reporter Wu Guangyu and Xing Bingjie) On the 8th, Sichuan's "September 5" Luding earthquake rescue entered the fourth day. In the past few days, the reporter ran at various resettlement points and rescue sites in the disaster area, and was always inspired and infected by the human light from ordinary people.

"The home is gone, but we still have a pair of hands!" At noon on the 7th, standing on the open space in front of the office building in front of the Caoke Tibetan Township Government in the severe earthquake area, Li Youqin, a villager who hadn't closed the eyes for two nights, was standing at the two. In front of the giant pot, the folks and rescue teams Zhang Luo lunch, she told reporters while stirring the big spoon in the braised pork pot.

Li Youqin's home is in Taru Bay, which is more than 20 minutes away from the Caofei Township government. The elder sister opened a restaurant with a good business in the town. The earthquake on the 5th shattered the glass of the restaurant, and also broke the house in her countryside, pressed the puppies of more than a dozen pigs, more than ten chickens and home nursing homes.

During the earthquake, Li Youqin happened to work in the county seat. After the earthquake, Caoke Township Communications was interrupted. After waiting for her anxiously, she worked anxiously and at 5 am on the 6th. After 8 hours, I finally arrived.

The sore homeland made her tears out of her eyes, but Li Youqin did not leave him too much time to be sad. After setting up the injured father and mother, she and several young people grabbed the previously stored ingredients from the restaurant, set up a large pot in the township government, and burned hot rice and hot rice for the team who came to rescue.

"These rescue players have taken such a long way, and I can only lie in the dam in the evening, I feel distressed!" She said. "The country sent these teams to rescue us. We can't sit down, and we must fight for something."

At lunch, the 4 -year -old Xiao Bao Ling was holding the chopsticks in his hands, and he ate a big mouth. Her father Wen Ping was busy carrying the materials just transported by the helicopter. Her grandma kept adding meals to the rescuers in front of the big pot. "A spoonful, and you can climb the mountain strongly when you are full." The old man kept telling the guys.

Several elderly people sat together to chat together. Seeing the reporter, I immediately came up. "Actually, we are all good. Rural people have suffered bitterness, don't worry, don't worry." The 79 -year -old grandfather Lei Guangfu said. The house in his house was a stone room built more than 20 years ago, and it completely collapsed in the earthquake. There are 5 acres of land in the old man, planting medicinal materials. "The house is gone, and the ground is still. As long as you have both hands, you won't be hungry." He said.

After the earthquake, Caoke Township was interrupted, and the supplies could not be shipped as soon as possible. The township government gave the elderly and children priority to the elderly and children.

On the morning of the 6th, the reporter boarded a sand transport boat on the Dadu River in the Dadu River in the Dadu Tibetan Township in Xinmin Township, Xinmin Township, Yankan County. After the earthquake, the ship assumed the heavy responsibility of transporting rescue forces and materials. On the same day, the people who came to help in two rows were lined up. After a while, a box of boxes were full of decks.

"Go to the headquarters?" As soon as the boat leaned on the shore, a small small bread was revealed. The driver is named Jiang Zhong, 55 years old, and is a villager in the digging village of Wanggangping Township. The earthquake cracked his house, and the family of four slept in the car that night. In the early morning of the 6th, he learned that the waterway had rescue supplies in. He settled his wife and children at the resettlement point, and drove this temporary "dock". One morning, I had forgotten how many trips have been pulled back and forth. "So many people come to help us, how can we be idle ourselves?"

In the past few days, from Xinmin Township to Wanggang Ping Township, to Caoke Township ... where the reporters go, I saw countless "hometown brave" fighting side by side with professional rescue teams. Some of them took the initiative to fight and led the fire rescue staff to advance into the grass family; some of them were brave as pioneers and rushed to the landslide without hesitation.

Wang Jigang, 29, is an excavator driver in Ashaima Prefecture. After the earthquake, he participated in the volunteer team consisting of 3 excavators, 3 loaders and 2 trailers. On September 6, this "death team" faced the constant flying rocks and had been renovated to the Taoba Tunnel from Li Yue Village, Xinmian Street along the S211 Provincial Highway. On the 7th, they continued to open from the Taoba Tunnel to the Dagangshan Tunnel. This road is one of the most serious road sections of the collapse. The excavator of the rescue team of the Sichuan Road and Bridge in the pre -arrival was not enough. A excavator in the volunteer team immediately came in handy. On the same day, they slowly advanced by this excavator. Six people took turns to operate the machine. The people kept the machine and finally seized the road.

At dusk on the 7th, through close cooperation of the forces of all parties, the roads leading to Caoke Township were finally seized, and rescue materials entered one after another. However, this "death team" did not dare to relax at all. On the 8th, he was still staring at a dense section of the falling stone and was responsible for cleaning at any time. When the reporter saw them near the Datian Tunnel on the 8th, there was still a drop of stone on the hillside. Once they are disconnected again, they will clearly transport immediately.

"No matter how dangerous, we must also ensure that the road is smooth and protecting our homeland. Men have to be responsible." Behind them, the men were running, and this group of men were strong like stones, such as Qingshan.【Edit: Jiang Yuwei】
