The comrade-in-arms wore the wrong vest but took out a chemotherapy sheet
At noon on August 1, on the embankment of Yanhe Village in Xuyi County, Huai'an, more than 10 firefighters ushered in a break. One morning, everyone was transporting sand, bagging, and building dams. They were as busy as a top, their clothes were already soaked. Taking advantage of the break, everyone took off their buoyancy vests.
After a short break, the firefighters put on buoyancy vests one after another. Zhao Yilong, a fireman of the Pizhou Fire Rescue Brigade, touched his vest pocket and took out a crumpled piece of A4 paper. There was nothing in his vest pocket before he realized that he was wearing the wrong vest. He subconsciously opened the paper and looked at it. This turned out to be a hospital chemotherapy order! Look at another date on the list-August 4. Zhao Yilong asked immediately: "Whose vest is this? There is a chemo sheet in his pocket."
Land Transport Lei, who was carrying sandbags nearby, ran over immediately, "It's mine!" At this time, the three words "chemotherapy list" attracted the attention of their busy firefighters, and everyone surrounded them. Under everyone's questioning, Lu Yunlei tremblingly opened the folded A4 paper, "Jia Jia is going to undergo chemotherapy on August 4". After saying this, tears dripped from Lu Yunlei's eye sockets, making the chemotherapy single wet. .
It turned out that Lu Yunlei's three-year-old son Jiajia was diagnosed with renal malignant tumor (stage III after right Wilms tumor) in April this year, and has undergone 7 chemotherapy. According to the treatment plan, August 4 was the 8th day Jiajia went to the hospital for chemotherapy.
A comrade-in-arms stopped Lu Yunlei at that time, "You hurry back, I will report to the leader." Lu Yunlei stopped him, "Our rescue mission has not been completed yet, I can't leave. I have explained to my wife. No matter what."
"He took the initiative to ask for a fight and concealed his child's chemotherapy date," Sun Zhengfei, head of the Pizhou Fire Brigade, told reporters. After Lu Yunlei's child fell ill, the brigade gave him a one-month vacation and asked him to concentrate on taking the child for treatment. After returning to the team at the end of June, Lu Yunlei learned that there was a flood fighting and rescue mission, so he took the initiative to ask for it. "The brigade refused his request to fight, but he said that the family's affairs have been handled."
After learning of Lu Yunlei's child's chemotherapy date on August 2, Sun Zhengfei contacted the person in charge in front of him and issued an order to Lu Yunlei, asking him to rush home immediately. On August 3, Lu Yunlei left the flood control line and returned to his home in Pizhou.
The reporter learned that the Xuzhou Fire Detachment received a flood rescue mission from the headquarter on July 3. A total of 100 officers and men rushed to the Huaihe River to take part in the rescue mission. Lu Yunlei was the second group of defensive team members and was the leader of the defensive team. In the past month, the firefighters of the Xuzhou Fire Brigade patrolled the embankment for 350 kilometers and evacuated more than 120 villagers from 56 households; filled more than 19,000 sandbags, moved 1,050 cubic meters of earth, and reinforced the embankment line about 1,280 meters.
Jia Jia receives treatment in the hospital
Three-year-old son suffering from malignant tumor is the second time the family has suffered bad luck
On the morning of August 4, Lu Yunlei was playing with his son Jiajia in the ward of Xuzhou Children's Hospital.
Lu Yunlei was full of guilt for leaving the team early. The reporter told him that other members of the Pizhou Fire Rescue and Rescue Team had received the order to complete the rescue mission and returned on the morning of the 4th. In fact, he only left one day earlier. Lu Yunlei still said: "I should have fought with my comrades to the last minute."
Lu Yunlei is 35 years old and is an "old firefighter". Since joining the recruitment in 2009, he has been fighting on the fire front line. Over the years, he has been rated as an advanced individual of the unit many times. Since this year alone, land mines have participated in more than 100 fire rescue missions. In April of this year, he was transferred to the full-time team of the Chemical Industry Park of the Pizhou Fire and Rescue Brigade as a political instructor.
But in the same month, his 3-year-old son Jiajia was diagnosed with renal malignant tumor.
The reporter learned that this is not the first time this family has encountered bad luck! Lu Yunlei originally had a son. In 2015, a 3-year-old child accidentally fell into his own water tank while playing at home. When the family found out, the child had no vital signs.
In 2017, Jiajia's birth eased the pain of his family. Unexpectedly, fate once again joked with Lu Yunlei. After Jiajia fell ill, he has undergone chemotherapy seven times. Every time he sees the child suffering physical pain, Lu Yunlei feels like a knife. The reporter learned that Jiajia’s condition is very serious and one kidney has been removed. According to the treatment plan, Jiajia will undergo 5 chemotherapy sessions this year. "In any case, I will not give up the child," Lu Yunlei said, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he will do his best to treat the child.
More than 100,000 yuan has been spent on follow-up treatment costs to become a problem
Lu Yunlei never mentioned the child's condition to his comrades. When he learned that the Pizhou Fire Brigade was going to send firefighters to participate in the flood relief mission, he immediately called for battle. He told his wife Zhouhui that the leader had given him a month's leave, and now there are tasks on it, he should stand up.
During the emergency rescue by the Huai River, Lu Yunlei was always concerned about the child's condition. Every evening, he would leave the dormitory and go to the empty playground to take a look at the child's recent situation through the video. The child often cries loudly in the video because of physical pain. Lu Yunlei always encourages his wife and child in the video, until he hangs up the phone, he will find an unmanned corner and cry secretly for a while. After several chemotherapy treatments, Jiajia's condition has improved significantly, but the huge medical expenses have become a dark cloud over the land transport thunder.
The reporter learned that Lu Yunlei's entire family's income is mainly his salary. Lu Yunlei's father has urinary system diseases and is unable to do heavy work. His mother suffers from high blood sugar and high blood pressure. In order to supplement the family, the two elderly people still endure the pain and go to odd jobs.
In order to make as much money as possible, after the child fell ill, Lu Yunlei applied to the brigade to be the driver of the fleet, and could receive several hundred yuan in subsidies every month. After Jiajia fell ill, the family has successively spent more than 100,000 yuan in treatment expenses, most of which were borrowed by Lu Yunlei from relatives and friends. According to the treatment plan, Jiajia's follow-up treatment costs will be at least several hundred thousand yuan.
The Pizhou Fire Brigade started a fundraiser after learning about Lu Yunlei's family situation. More than 90 firefighters raised more than 6,000 yuan. A few days ago, the Xuzhou City Fire Detachment also launched a fundraiser for the city’s fire protection system. So far, it has raised 50,000 yuan.
Although there is still a big gap in the current medical expenses, Lu Yunlei said that as long as he works hard, no matter how difficult he is, he can pass. After each treatment, seeing the child's condition improve, he has more hope and confidence.
