Tangshan Life

 To pour a glass of sake alone, quietly facing the direction of Tangshan, sprinkling the earth bit by bit, then disappear quietly commemoration the great disaster in that hundreds of thousands of lives.
the outbreak of the Great Tangshan Earthquake ago, as the Beijing Equipment Installation Company construction team of full-time second deputy secretary of Party branch, is to attend the Beijing West Beijing Construction Engineering Bureau Jietai young cadres training. quake spread to the temple this time, nearly a hundred major building Beijing construction unit of the grass-roots leadership, leaving the violent shaking of the residence, were unanimous in their responsibility to think about with things: certainly devastating disaster occurred, certainly we need to play a role in construction profession.
is With such a mood, and soon there is mechanical engineering co-workers received an emergency notice, which is the moment that is the earthquake occurred in Tangshan, the city had been razed to the ground, almost all of the residents are still buried in the ruins. training to inform all students, immediately returned to their units on standby. I rushed back to the city directly after the construction team, passing Tiananmen Square erected around the monument to see the people of a variety of materials of various colors of earthquake shed, more aware of the This extraordinary degree of earthquake disaster.
echelon of the Standing Committee of the candidate list of companies by training young people the basic principles of leading cadres should be pushed to the major task of the job to hone. And I have another idea: that a major catastrophe, is a rare life experience, I value, the absolute not want to miss.
did not expect is a very small chance that I almost completely lost with the Tangshan earthquake directly to the opportunity. coming down the mountain the next day at noon, resulted from bad food, I became very sick and more than, could not eat together every night and day to the construction site inspections at each point, sallow face, it is obviously very embarrassed look. seeing ten days later, I heard about the team's Zhou Shuji, the company has Wu led the rescue team sent to fly Tangshan pier 10 days. and the company led the list is my original, well-intentioned comments that when Zhou Shuji look at me very ill, and may find it difficult to adapt to environmental stress affected areas. I heard on the emergency , and immediately called the company secretary of the Dong Yuhua. He fell very simply: Speed all the way (bike) arrived forty minutes the company's headquarters is located in South Lishi. Dong Yuhua see me in one sentence: . ten days of the rotation, and they boil over quickly. veterans. Dongshu Ji and several department heads the company's brief account of the feedback back to the first case of teams, particularly the ten-day emphasis on the nature and significance of relief work. I think the talk about the thirty-five minutes and is the side mounted equipment and supplies to the car, listening to the leader of the several departments of the situation.'s side of the street pavement business sections already built a simple shed, a grid attached to a grid. We start the car late at night when , a row of lights are all children of the camp. the size of our six thousand construction company during a major earthquake in Beijing as well as the country is also undertaking the construction of hundreds of tasks at the site, of course, include the works in Zhongnanhai.
the car started up, and soon drove east along the Chang'an Avenue. I, as this immediately to enter the central area of the Tangshan earthquake in unit leadership, and team members one by one until this time to communicate, I think received before departure dozens of friends and family news paper commissioned inquiry, and quickly asked the team members bring their summary note. Along the way, the vision of all is the dark, and occasionally see the little light. detachment of the drivers had been a soldier in Tangshan, is also after the earthquake The only member of Tangshan, ran a trip, he will follow me until the job done. from his presentation, I roughly understand the severity of the earthquake, all roads leading to the Tangshan block during the day are a mess, only in night before the car run fast, so about four o'clock in the morning into the Tangshan area.
Although the spirit of our squad members already prepared, or be surprised about the scene out the window: the huge bridge twisted into cannabis like; high chimney left base; even row of buildings in paralysis as rubble; asphalt road Xieshen a ferocious crack; occasionally hit the poles or to see the car plunged into Erdaogou; deep quiet of the cold the dark, without any sound, thriller, horror, shock, sadness, I think, certainly we all fill our minds filled with these words; I can feel the dull atmosphere, all the members in the tragedy is beyond words in simply drowned, as if suddenly returned to the prehistoric prehistoric wilderness.
finally arrived in Tangshan City, the construction of all coordinates of all the unrecognizable, the driver almost mistake the location, and even around to find touch with the first squad at the agreed place, a hill next to the. open the door, walking towards me fishy smell rot, the driver remembered to remind the players already out of masks hanging on the neck, first pour a little liquor, and then quickly cover a good nose and mouth. polished and we have to see the day when I do not know the members of the first unit has been sitting quietly away from us, but ten meters. Leader Director Liu Guozhu Wu pier and information came to my eyes, show them who did not complete the task is about to return home even a trace of a smile, looking rusty brothers and woodenly dry eyes, have told me in front of the full ten days to see what they have experienced a kind of spiritual torment.
None of us care of the greeting, Wu pier took out a small book, one by one tell me the task of rescue squad and first squad, I This clearly specify to send a special detachment of the origin of gas welding. < br> center received a warning in Tangshan, the same day matter of great urgency to mobilize a large number of nearby field army, one group after another forced march to high speed once owned troops arrived to steel and cement cutting next to the ruins of the city, listening to the groans around wail and call, the military mad rush in the past, the hand moving shoulder, many of the officers and men rushed tired even fainted, the role is very limited, human accumulation can not even move the construction of reinforced concrete debris. This reflects the central seismic rushed command structure, in the army in place of the next day, hundreds of large cranes arrived one after another from the nearby provinces disaster scene, mechanical cranes still can not really work. Canqiang broken walls across the fault lies in the reinforced steel frame inside, fine such as fingers, thick like a walnut, run through all major building structures, and that this can be called broken bones, tendons attached. the power of tens of tons of large cranes, large concrete structures to lift it, but keep pushing with thousands of silk million reinforced. race against the rampaging soldiers waving hammer, pull hacksaw, a large warrior is completely exhausted, so the progress made on-site rescue personnel anxious Rufen. once again the central telegraph, but also emergency research, which it is our turn mm in the smallest force in the relief, but to master the pen dotting special squad of God, stepped in, quite the wrecker.
I suddenly felt extremely heavy responsibility, but also glad that they did not ball dropped crucial time to catch up with such a critical task. also strange, trouble a ten-day stomach is now completely gone.
Wu pier side of the briefing, the first group members greet one hand finishing tools for loading, has been fighting ten days at the site of the old players, but also When I first came comrades to introduce steam under the special conditions of the essentials of welding cutting operation.
Xiedian Liang was a master craftsman, and I spent time in a construction team, he specialized account of the oxygen cylinders and oxygen insertion position table selected, by the way told me that yesterday, the team has ten days to the task of the hour, the acetylene cylinder will be demolished when the case broke out. The soldiers are beginning to withdraw from the scene mm ruins of a hospital, operating requirements to meet guest, the holes may have to be shouted several voices, suddenly, a small fighter surprise exclaimed: also those who want minimal on-site immediately return a platoon of troops, crane drivers to restart the machine, thanks to this group of two instructors who also stared straight into the acetylene cylinders suck down cold lump, just one minutes will Insurance cover ring pull the pressure, if put in water, difficult to think about re-entering the working state, that number nearly a hundred people still live without eyes kill you?
the arrival of our second day before the rescue squad The women called Lu Guilan, and later in 2002 CCTV Spring Festival Gala light off phase, accompanied by representatives described the military, I remember not seem to mention gas welding crane drivers and teams, they are truly the unsung heroes.
Publicity Director Liu Guozhu from time to time to add some details on the scene saw him, he told me, is beside the rubble of a hill, is a five-story building, dozens of residents, among the crush of paralysis earthquake collapsed completely into rubble, even the building structure is usually damaged branches of a tree branch after the bifurcation of the branch are not real mess. Liu Guozhu saw a female stayed with the rescue force way door, silly idiot to sit all day, said the small female family of seven were no survivors. until our unit arrived, here is intact. the whole city is watching not look like everywhere, the victims can only be carried out step by step work.
boarding the first team returned to Beijing, and we are all members of the second squad dispersed to various units to meet the emergency, each points on the two people are living field tents. I and Chen and Liu arranged in 38 two master Ministry where a regiment of the military, and political director of the tent next to. We sent the team members one by one with forces, in a small book on my side of every resident and relief marked the location of points, the next ten days to be inspected every day to communicate with the forces necessary to promptly resolve the difficulties in the rescue, to educate and remind all the team members strict discipline, disaster relief, to overcome the adverse environmental impact, the completion of outstanding people in the capital to our glorious mission. Wu pier specifically told me that the second batch of teams can be used to clean water, eat a hot meal. The first group of brothers who had just the first three days into the disaster area, only military hard tack dry throat, embarrassed to turn over the collapse of the bath, scoop out the Subway and taste of the soup mixture, clarified several times to wash your face, the driver added that they also drink a few times, it is thirsty.
days have been great light, I settled down here and now only see the Tangshan earthquake scene. into the city's roadside utility poles, hanging hanging a young male. back tied bare upper body, seems to have hanging in there for some time. This is by fire, robbery, and those that were caught on the spot, all brought the mob, to make a warning. Ten days later, these scenes are displayed, also seen all hole in one home a dozen men and women along the straight edges of people and cars Lengleng De congregation kneeling in the junction, his neck as evidence of the stolen goods, shoes and bags bottles, variety, plus plate I reckon the old man should be over seventy years, also a small four-year-old, is about see Choi Wang Yi's attitude was not necessarily an habitual offender and the like. children.
the direction of the latest from Beijing streets, opposite the high-rise blocks of a dozen layers of ruins after the break, come startling vision of the scene. A man naked body hanging in the air, just the head was pressed under the floor. Changlu side trickling down the wall to the plasma flow has become a black mark, top of the vaguely discernible in the roof and floor of the shape of the head between the stars.
me for this catastrophe severity of shock, and feeling deeply the lives of Tangshan suffered the ravages of how tragic.
the air from time to time the aircraft roar, spraying disinfectant liquid regularly every day, on-site and the resident total chemical defense, blowing several times a day the same medicine, coupled with an environment filled with disaster scene, the whole city is always filled with the smell of rotten evil, I think of a unit about a player, can not adapt to Tangshan, a meal can swallow does not survive, and resolutely refused to deserters to do daily to the site as usual, working very best, has always insisted that our rotations. Tangshan life ah!
players along the distribution of relief point road map to go again. In the ruins of a hospital, the first day I through the rescue of the soldiers and the crowd saw two different people. a middle-aged man, a young women, every day is the earliest to the latest waiting to leave the high ground in the search field position. Later, I heard a young woman ten days has been stood upright, she said, see such a real number. his (her) both in wait, want to see is the first time to dig out from the heavy masonry of the next of kin, I have no doubt that two pairs of eyes looking forward and want the truth behind the story.
few days later, young women finally see already lost their lives to the husband, is said to be women hospitalized serve day and night waiting for her husband. mended to the earthquake, the wife somehow been left out of the body not be affected much, but her husband to stay in love forever more ill in bed day bed. this woman since the first teams into the field to the case every day, holding a full bottle of white wine, followed by a behind fellow teenagers, pushing a plate tricycle, car Qi yo code placed inside and outside the clothing brand new bedding and blankets. In her husband was carried over, the young woman's body, the face of love, the soldiers refused to continue to help, very patient ten days with a bottle of liquor shook the whole body wipe for their loved ones, and then by the semi- big guy to help, softly's put internal and external underwear, paving bedding, Gaiyan blankets, sleeping like a baby care. Emotion Shigeyoshi women were using the bottle of wine last. Well! After several fragmented cement floor, the platoon leader told me about the troops close to the foot of just one second did not escape the death of a male doctor. platoon leader from Beijing, he was surprised and sorry to say, visual : meters, above the door eventually take the child beat the rain falling down, the fingers of male doctors also exposed in the concrete slab outside. The moment the least bit tragic death of two world situation, I later saw for himself every day. With the platoon leader gestures, gradually approaching the soldiers searched more than middle-aged men gathered at the position since the eye. That man straightened start pointing Plan for guidance to the soldiers something, it seems he was very familiar with the ward at once.
soldiers found a middle-aged man's relatives, his wife, hospital delivery, little daughter by his side, when the building collapsed down the family room also killed three middle-aged man, probably not with the mother and daughter trio together. I wondering what kind of middle-aged man would take the attitude and the way that this person has been as close to drag out the size and clamor for the remains of three soldiers, who let off his poor wife and mother of a wrist watch. by middle-aged Men's instructions, a soldier watches over the wall with a short cross-channel bar lug over to him, the husband, the father will watch clean wipe and scrub for a moment, then carefully into the pocket, and then get up and leave , even the head does not have rotation, and then failed to show up again. just sit and read a long time, the platoon leader who bitterly Beijing nationality emerge the sentence: ah, fie! say? cold Tangshan life ah!
toward their children without thinking, the first to bear a second big disaster. the first time in three decades, I also sometimes give birth to the idea of such a line mm side, stand, sit, lie all walks of life of women, or women wealth, or put up with hardships, or talented, or vulgar, if the terrible disaster so suddenly upon us, I still have no doubt they are the only choice without choice, the children toward death! do not ever forget so proud of Tangshan maternal life!
I believe she is just an ordinary one of hundreds of thousands of victims, who will not understand what was done to move the operator, nor have imagined her in an instant what apocalyptic state.
site is high gas welders workers, old master, he spoke about his experiences in the disaster site. great about six floors of an organ, of them are for the cutting of steel bars that cross, drilling down the confused depressed. finally cleared one organ telephone switchboard duty room, only the work of a young woman sitting room chair seats, the top three or four floors uniform over the life of the operator, but all the rescue personnel face these circumstances silence for a long time: naked women sitting in the operator seat, right hand still firmly holds the pin inserted in the working head of state. Zhang master told me that she slept in the lounge stairs, rushed to duty if the flight, we must first go through the most for escape stairs, and then ran more than ten meters before entering the workplace, disaster heaven the moment, the choice of horror, the operator fly across toward the exit to escape responsibility! female operator, I can not know the name, but I'm sure she's the only moment of faith in life and death: when he was 28 years old, the earthquake was smashed off his leg, buried their loved ones at home also caught fire. She must be thinking of escape from responsibility, refused to take any home, dragging the leg, scratching and scrambling for nearly an hour the first time to reach jobs, she worked at least the second floor mall business area, all the flash caused by the earthquake off the gable facing the street, a large number of commodities fell as shock waves and the street. seedling secretary arrived units, shopping malls, a security officers and a young woman facing a severe test, a loot going to happen.
hot climate anomalies during the earthquake, Tangshan residents almost stripped naked while sleeping, so the residents are lucky to find any escape, really hungry , panic. thrown down the streets to see the clothes, food, the kind of situation can be imagined.
secretary Tony is a young woman, however, but she also shoulders the responsibility for the safety of shopping a lot of property, the situation gets out of control loss of the entire mall will certainly be even more disastrous. mall, leaving only three employees, quickly division of labor, secretary of the Miao and preach to the masses of women workers in the periphery, to persuade. security officers patrol the mall, he had a pistol, a few bullets . By the way, there was really special to grab credit, storage, and looting the confusion momentum of public property, there are prisoners who escape harm public security personnel after the case of reprisals.
gas welding set of post-disaster rapid cutting of specific performance is the case, The first step is to search for groups by the military command in the concrete jungle, broken walls Canqiang detect survivors, more relatives and friends in accordance with the guidance of the families of survivors, specializes in a certain person's body, but also a very important property. The second step clues to the military by discovery indicates a crane to hook fixed to the structure of a cement floor, first try hanging about, the reinforced concrete structures exposed, the soldiers responsible for the proper clean-up, so easy to cut steel; the third step by the use of gas welders will hinder the target torch cutting of steel; The fourth step is a crane out of reinforced concrete structures entangled lifted, transported from the scene; fifth step by the soldiers transported the bodies of the victims to be transported to the point, with the cotton turned out in advance secured by the package tight, waiting for outward focus.
speak in front of a lot of the scene, because I have every day of the tour traveled with the squad of five or six relief point, bound to several times a day and gas welding seen as the closest members of countless victims. Tangshan earthquake was official death toll of more than twenty million, at least in my infrastructure as a command to go to Beijing Tangshan earthquake rescue squad captain, ten days, these victims always with me from morning till evening, and countless human feelings, human nature, people are into the imprint of the most straightforward, so I'll never remember that vividly.
shocked me most is the apocalyptic time of motherhood, where there are mother and daughter, mother and child the scene with the victims, without exception, are covered in mother-to-child tightly under his body weak.
front of the hospital that mother and daughter died in childbirth three, is a mother holding a baby of manpower, a 6-year-old daughter took manpower, she was a good few vertical cut severely cut down the floor, and even children under the body intact in the presence of soldiers all visibly moved.
has named Wong Rui forensic, all House 8 people, earthquake occurs, his parents and two children were killed, he and his wife was a strong shock wave from the second floor knocking the street, broke into fractures are serious injuries, except-year-old daughter just graze the scalp only, because the mother is to be tightly grasped in his arms. This is truly destroyed, in any hesitation, maternal dictates! Huang Haiyan forensic eldest daughter is called, was about 13 years old, facing grandfather, grandmother and two a sister died, my father, mother seriously injured and sent from the Tangshan, dead or alive, with his year-old girl, difficult situations can be imagined. Beijing's relatives sent word to leave the disaster area to take little sisters, little Swallow actually declined. She did not explain any reason, the expression has been so calm, I have not seen her cry, have not seen her melancholy look around, and occasionally a few times to see her, always neat, clean clothes, with his little sister is so, still polite conversation manners.
their awe, they are very unfortunate, and very lucky to be alive! more and more of the mother and child, mother and daughter, will always be a great disaster took his life. I often think of countless victims, when the fog enemy as to what should be done next, might do, to what extent, all calculations a lot, he knew, Tangshan is over, have all been destroyed Tangshan, means of communication destroyed, are also impossible for normal traffic ! to save Tangshan must not rely on any conventional procedure, and Beijing, the CPC Central Committee, Chairman Mao, the PLA, Li Yulin speak to the words, repeated in his head hit the action: weaving the militia guards, I participated in disaster relief ten days, the night will hear gunshots pierced the night sky from time to time.
secretary of such courage is a vaccine, there is knowledge, rational, beneficial, festival, trade-offs in the selection of the state, to take up the responsibility This makes shopping not only become the Tangshan earthquake losses in the business. Tangshan truth of life crisis.
third place is worth bearing in mind that the first person to mm Speed warning to Beijing Li Yulin.
was are catching up with the 38 Army officers and men of your regiment to be heroic deeds of Li Yulin. Mission of the Political Department sat on the left, I sat on the right of Beijing and rescue team leader, Li Yulin take the middle, he told the four or five hundred soldiers talk about that period of experience, I will listen to him close to the elbows. This process has recently heard from the radio broadcast, but did not attend were also modified the content, at least genuine, so impressive, many of the details are clear .
mentioned Li Yulin, struggling to escape from the ruins of his wearing a triangle when the pants, the whole building came crashing down to the city of Tangshan into a But the deepest impression left me was a woman. only went to Beijing as soon as possible, only send the PLA can save Tangshan Chairman Mao.
he was very familiar with the mining environment, quickly find and clean up the mine for emergency recovery operation of the mine rescue Special Purpose Vehicle (filled with oil) he found a miner hat, a cotton coat to naked put, one way or another an assistant ready to go. Li Yulin I praise him to the troops out of the special driving skills training , is the level of the Broken Bridge Speed more.
Li Yulin was the tragic story of his home did not attend, he was union president of the mine, which is full of all the physical and mental sense. The only let him stay a few minutes episode, talking about his own Millions of people cover the city below, and one by one to save, then that is really crazy too! Father who insist on forcing a hand regain a life Li Yulin, Li Yulin hurry in accordance with the instructions, shipped enough strength to move
several pieces of stacked cement floor, Father deftly pulled out the child, attend to listen to thanks, Fei Shi Li Yulin emergency vehicles rushed away.
way he specifically mentioned two things, One is the way to the village groups of victims seeking
rescue vehicle stopped by his Xiaoyitaiyi, the villagers put down injured relatives, to help Zheliang Chairman Mao went to Beijing to find the red car get out of the road; Another thing is the car to Yutian, when the State Seismological Bureau met face special car, near the Seismological Bureau of the experts are looking for the source, heard about Li Yulin, must lead the way to his return to Tangshan. Li Yulin, I was anxious to squeeze them to death, fuck what you eat! the Tangshan all over, you are responsible!
into Chang'an Avenue, Beijing straight from Datong, went straight to Zhongnanhai, the siren scream all the way, a guy rushed Xinhua door, one foot brake, stunned and high security system activated. Li Yulin almost petrified, but ten seconds, heavily armed soldiers in combat have your marks, the real explosive. Li Yulin was full of praise, ! too powerful! the man. powder ash form a kinds of things should go Earthquake Administration. just like the disaster of hell, struggling out of the body in sweat pores Li Yulin crying with rage, suddenly broke up, all directed at Gouxue nozzle officials also went to the reception at a loss ! Li Yulin and told me this experience, they also bear a grudge!
a side door out from the high of a level of leadership, see the matter must be extremely serious, is patience and persuasion Li Yulin, then behind Also catch the Air Force breaking in Tangshan, a deputy chief of staff and entourage. The head immediately signaled from the Tangshan Fei led several cars and came flying into the underground passage, direct drive to live the central directorate of the conference room. Li Yulin recalls a meeting of Map of the central leadership, with Ji Dengkui, Chen Xilian, Chen Yonggui, Wu Guixian. Li Yulin answer when the Tangshan earthquake, the extent of losses, summed up in one sentence: on the map, the original head of a big circle, and immediately drew a large range of walnut. Li Yulin specifically mentioned, and saw he had a cold look, Wu Guixian immediately to allow staff to take a white pill, personally looked at He served down, Center mm Tangshan. I believe that multi-storey precast concrete panels lifted. I of course refused to accept, once again have to carry, the results were untouched, a few guys together to get started, it is only a nodding, heck. later transferred to the physical education sector, which can explain the man is in a state of emergency will have potential function in stress response. Tangshan gold fire of life.
the people's army, nor the people of everything. the time to listen to them say that they.
forces are coastal areas have a beach landing operations training courses scheduled at night in front of daylight, the night after the bustle of the officers and men suddenly received orders literally on fire, rushed to the Tangshan disaster relief limit . covered with water dripping of the officers and men who just left the soup cooked hot meals, has launched a wet squeezed into the car toward the Tangshan Zhi Feng Chi power. near the destination, the bridge broke, and forces all alighted Strong iron feet forced march, members of the order met the river, armed swimming. For a limited time, rushed to the disaster scene, facing the devastation of the cement Zhuandui, officers and men ten hours straight, unarmed plane of all life, desperately digging information areas. I have seen many strange hand-type soldiers, more flexible is hard hard grasp, it is not his own the hand! A military commander told me that their forced march toward the Tangshan forces encountered viaduct circuit, I heard someone call for help at high altitude, looked up and saw a lonely bridge remnants of a bridge column, the above actually stood a carriage, car skill with the horses did not even hurt the car, As an order, rush, force alone can not pull out the rescue, had shouted a few words of encouragement to continue to drive to the Tangshan. The commander who narrowly escaped death has also been worried about the safety of high-altitude marching it.
My attitude of life and death industry a girl told me that the earthquake occurred, this was a woman of advanced progress of the construction team robbed in the night, his lug two barrels of bean soup in the door to get from the first floor, door to outside the building before the high-level support is also payable on the Little Sisters hello, the above three girls standing outside the building have been supporting platform, should not hit the building, and water to kick down the call girl call has entered the doors of the parlor. fierce earthquake suddenly, busy interval between the upper and lower two girls for a bit involuntary, fetching water and the girls were shaking down, groggy rolled outside the doors of the parlor, the girl on the outside because of the strong support and suddenly flew into the building swaying. I saw the original six has collapsed to the floor, the height of two layers, while the outer frame for the hoist lift platform, the terminal still stands if nothing had happened. I have dedicated this climb of life and death witnessed the girls high-jump, that girls fetching water are anyway not This made her willing to be close to the chill of the table.
squad with a master site search, carried away the bodies of the couple both died, and picked up ...
