Rebirth in 1998 is also a kind of life

On June 1998, 7, it rained heavily.

Just at eleven o'clock last night, the second flood peak in Jiujiang appeared. After receiving the notice, all the volunteers got up from their tents and ran to the dam, preparing for any accident with fear.

Standing on the dam, looking at the dizzying torrent under the searchlight, feeling the trembling of the ground under my feet, I once again felt the insignificance of human beings.

Hmm... Looking at the staff of the Water Conservancy Bureau who risked their lives standing by the river to make flow meters, I suddenly realized that not all heroes are standing in front of the screen.

By the way:

At 1 o'clock in the morning, the Yichang flood peak flow reached 56400 cubic meters per second;

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the water level of the flood peak in Shashi was 44.00 meters,

........................

On June 1998, 7, it rained heavily.

This evening, Section Chief Li lost his temper for half an hour, his eyes were red, so scary.

To be honest, I really don't know what some people think.

The country broadcasts the news of the flood every day, and those local officials and us volunteers are so hoarse that we almost kneel down to them, but why are so many people still refusing to leave the city?

Is it hard to leave the homeland?Or is it a fluke based on human inertia?

But the only good news is that with the unremitting efforts of our group of volunteers 7X12 hours, not only the affected people, but even the local officials have become friendly to us.

Well, Section Chief Li was right when he said that a friend in adversity sees the truth. Not everyone will be indifferent to us giving so desperately for free.

November 1998, 7, rain.

"During a catastrophe, humanity is the most visible" - this is a sentence that Team Leader Yang often talks about these days.

This morning, that group started selling all kinds of food and drinks at high prices again with great fanfare. A few of them looked familiar. They were the ones who beat Team Leader Yang. They were all bad guys!

And they raised the price again. A bag of instant noodles was sold for 15 yuan, and a bottle of purified water was also sold for 5 yuan. The most exaggerated thing is that amoxicillin was also sold for 3 yuan, 1 tablet, and 3 yuan. One slice!Why don't they just grab it! ?

But I can't figure it out, this is already ten times the usual price, and there are still so many people buying it with money?

Obviously, there are free food and drinks distributed in each resettlement area, and the amount is also plentiful. Could it be that they feel that they are not full?

Also, what annoys me the most is that there are soft drinks from our factory and ham sausage from the meat joint factory in it.I clearly remember that Director Lin said that our batch of materials are all donated and will not be sold for a penny.

I asked Team Leader Yang why this happened. His expression was a little strange, and then he uttered the phrase that he used to say every day: "When there is a catastrophe, the most human nature is seen!"

Well, I think Team Leader Yang's expression at that time was... sarcasm!

………………

November 1998, 7, rain.

If you say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there; Director Lin was just written in yesterday's diary, and Director Lin will be back today.

Although I don't know where he went a few days ago, but today, he did come back.

Well, there are people from various other volunteer teams who came back with him. Although it is said that half of the people stay where they are, there are now more than 300 people from us and the meat joint factory in Jiujiang.

However, Factory Manager Lin's expression was not very good, Section Chief Li's expression was not very good, and Team Leader Yang's expression was not good either.

I had a vague feeling that something big was about to happen.

Today Team Leader Yang went to the nearby town to save people again. He seems to be addicted to saving people recently. He would drag Xiaoshitou and the others to the edge of the city every now and then.

By the way, Xiao Shitou is an armed policeman of the 89th Regiment. He is young, not as old as me. I don't know why Team Leader Yang is so attached to him.

Of course, I didn't mean to blame Team Leader Yang. Fortunately, Team Leader Yang and Xiao Shitou went there in time. Otherwise, if the classroom wall collapsed, the seven or eight children and the two teachers would definitely be injured.

By the way, didn't the government issue a suspension notice?Why are there still students in the elementary school in the town?

Also, the quality of those classrooms is really poor, they are all red bricks glued with mud, bad review!

July 1998, 7, heavy rain

I saw on TV that the third flood peak appeared in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River today.The Yichang flood peak flow is 52000 cubic meters per second.

It's scary, even worse than the last Hong Feng.

But today Team Leader Yang refused to let me go up the dam. I don't know what it looks like on the Jiujiang dam.

I was surprised. During this period of time, Yichang and Shashi were reported on the news every day. According to the personality of Factory Manager Lin, a large number of volunteers should be transferred there, but why all of them were shrunk to Jiujiang.

Could it be... Factory Manager Lin is afraid that his employees will make a mistake?

Last night, no, this morning, the section from Shishou of the Yangtze River to Wuhan was closed to navigation.

And when we came together this morning, the radio said that the two provinces of Jiangxi and Hunan have announced that they have entered an emergency flood prevention period in accordance with the "Flood Control Law".It looks serious.

However, it is said that there are still 10,000+ people in the city who have not moved their nests; forget it, it’s not surprising, maybe those people live on a relatively high terrain, so they can’t be flooded?

But thinking of the traffic policeman I saw in Jiujiang City this morning, I overturned my previous thoughts,

Obviously there are no vehicles in the city, and the water has already flooded him up to his waist.

But he was still standing there seriously, gesticulating meticulously following the traffic lights.

He, and they... What are they insisting on?

………………

On June 1998, 7, it rained heavily.

The river section from Wuhan to Xiaochikou has also been closed to navigation.

After so many consecutive days of rain, plus no place to take a shower, I feel like my body is going to be moldy;

And Team Leader Yang, he had the nerve to say that my body stinks, but he didn't even smell his own body, that smell...

Forget it, let's not discuss this issue, so as not to affect the appetite.

But Team Leader Yang was beaten again today, this time a little bit harder, his eyes were swollen and narrowed into lines.

I also persuaded him that since those people have backgrounds, we don't have to confront them head-on.

Team leader Yang said that if he didn't choke face-to-face with such a person who made money from the country, he was afraid that he would not be able to understand his thoughts in the future.

Can't get through your thoughts?

I don't quite understand.

*** came here for inspection.

I caught a glimpse of his old man from a distance, just like the one on TV, his face is very gentle,

It's just... the old man frowned deeply.

November 1998, 7, rain.

A lot of reporters came to Jiujiang recently, and they took photos whenever they met.

Due to the large number of people in our factory and uniform uniforms, I feel that reporters love to take pictures of us. To be honest, it still delays work.

But Sister Qingyi looked very happy, and she smiled even better when distributing supplies to the relocated people.

Hmm... But Team Leader Yang seems to hate facing the camera. When two reporters filmed him, he ran away.

Hee hee, this is quite similar to me.

However, Factory Manager Lin pulled Section Chief Li out and forced him to accept a full-time follow-up interview with two reporters who seemed to know Factory Manager Lin very well.

Haha, Section Chief Li's expression at that time was really wonderful!

………………

On June 1998, 7, it rained heavily.

The factory brought in another batch of supplies. According to Team Leader Yang, our factory’s production capacity for nearly a month has been brought in, which is considered to be a donation exceeding the standard.

And today, Factory Manager Lin gathered all his colleagues who knew how to weld, and started to weld the big iron cages one by one, but he didn't know what to do.

By the way, in the afternoon, Team Leader Yang had a serious fight with Section Chief Li, and then Section Chief Li went to the flood control command room to quarrel too, but I didn't hear clearly what they were arguing about, I just heard something faintly Words like "vehicle", "boat", "sack".

Forget it, Team Leader Yang is right, I'm just a silly girl, it's better not to think about complicated things.

On June 1998, 8, it rained heavily.

Today is Army Day, but it is estimated that even the army brothers on the dam will not remember this festival. Facing the torrential flood, everyone is tired and dizzy.

Also, listening to the radio before going to bed at night, the embankment of He Township, JY County, HUB Province collapsed.The local flood control headquarters urgently mobilized 2000 People's Liberation Army, armed police and public security officers, used more than 150 assault boats and rubber boats to rescue them with all their strength, and dropped 1 life jackets for rescue. However, even so, there were still 19 PLA members in the rescue The armed police died.

In addition, Paizhou Bay in the upper reaches of Wuhan also suffered a breach. It is said that more than 20 armed policemen died in this emergency rescue, along with an instructor named Gao Jiancheng.

After hearing these two news, my heart is very heavy. Why did this happen on Army Day?

………………

On June 1998, 8, it rained heavily.

At noon, we received the "Urgent Notice on Timely Transferring Personnel from Dangerous Zones to Strengthen Levee Defense" issued by the National Defense Headquarters.

It is required that we must put the safety of the people's lives in the first place, transfer people from dangerous areas in a timely manner, and at the same time focus on strengthening the defense of the Yangtze River embankment, key polder embankments, and important urban embankments.

The Jiujiang dam is also on the list of key defenses. With the national documents, presumably those who refuse to leave have no way to delay it anymore, right?

Also, when I was clearing the flow of people with Team Leader Yang in the afternoon, he suddenly asked me if I could swim. When I told him that I couldn’t swim, his face was a little ugly, but he just repeatedly told me not to get closer to the dam for 100 meters .

Hmm... Does he think I'm too unlucky, afraid that a flying wave will rush over and sweep me away?

………………

On August 1998, 8, it rained heavily.

The *** is here again, but it is Wuhan, and it is no wonder that the flood situation in Hubei is far more severe than ours.

To be honest, although I was very scared, I couldn't understand why the factory didn't send a large number of volunteers to Wuhan?It is obvious that there is more need for manpower over there.

But today Team Leader Yang’s expression is very serious, he stares at the sky in a daze from time to time, and at night he obviously has no appetite, but he still eats 3 cans of luncheon meat in a row, forcing Section Chief Li and me to eat like this many.

Looking at Section Chief Yang, who was sternly forcing me and Section Chief Li to fall asleep early, I had a bad feeling.

Could it be... Team Leader Yang's sixth sense told him that something big will happen tomorrow?
