China News Service, Jinhua, August 7 (Reporter Xi Jinyan, Correspondent Hu Qingbo and Chen Bo) On August 6, Zhejiang Yongkang, after the floods receded, was recovering to its former calm, but for Li Yuchun, a villager in Xiayuan Village, he never returned. It's over. When the mountain torrent broke out, her husband Li Zhangxian suddenly encountered the collapse of the house next to him while clearing the obstacles in the waterway during the disaster relief process. Unfortunately, his enthusiastic figure was frozen forever this summer.

  Affected by the typhoon "Hagupit", on August 4, Yongkang rained heavily, and there were many dangerous situations such as flash floods in small watersheds and flooding in villages. Xiayuan Village, located in the mountainous area in the north of Yongkang, was severely affected. Many roads into the village collapsed and traffic was interrupted. The Xiayuan River in the village was overflowing, many houses were soaked by rain, and more than 30 houses collapsed.

  At that time, the rain was torrential. The 72-year-old Li Zhangcun settled down with his paralyzed wife, threw down the sentence "It's raining, go out and go around" and went out. But what Li Yuchun didn't expect was that this was a farewell.

  Li Tao, the party branch secretary of Xiayuan Village, recalled that it was in the afternoon when the rain was heavy and urgent. Floods poured in from the mountains and forests. Many houses were hit by mountain torrents. “He (Li Zhangcun) wanted to protect this house from The water washed down, and then I kept working there, leading the water into the ditch, and then unfortunate things happened here."

  "He was afraid that the water and stones would wash down my old house before the accident happened. I didn't feel like it." Li Zhejiang, the owner of the collapsed house, couldn't hide his loss. "Such a good person is gone. What?"

  Li Yuchun was deeply saddened by her husband's sudden departure and could not accept it. Li Yuchun accidentally fell down 16 years ago due to work in the mountains, causing high paraplegia and completely losing his ability to take care of himself.

  "For 16 years, my wife has taken care of me meticulously, eating and drinking Lazar is all done by him, and he helps me turn over every two hours at night. For 16 years, he has not slept peacefully." There, Li Yuchun burst into tears.

  Entering the couple’s home, an old civil structure of more than 30 square meters, Li Zhangcun’s meat bought from the market and vegetables from the ground are quietly placed on the stove, as if he went out to finish the work as usual. Farm work will come back to prepare cooking. The cramped room only has a TV, an electric fan, a bed, two benches, a hoe and other farm tools neatly placed by the door, and a straw hat hung on the yellowed wall, but now they don’t wait anymore. Not to its owner.

  On the wall less than 5 steps away from the place where Li Zhangcun happened, there is a red list of "Houshan Road Extension Harden and Help" posted on the wall, "Li Zhangcun donates 200, and works on February 29, March 2. March 4". "My father's income from farming is only 3,000 yuan a year, but as long as the village needs it, he always contributes both his efforts and money." said Li Qiuyun, Li Zhangcun's daughter.

  "Zhang Cun is a good person." This is the most spoken word of the villagers. "A few years ago, the old house near Zhang Cun's home caught fire. He was afraid of the spread of the fire, so he picked up the insect-controlling sprayer and went up to help the neighbors put out the fire, and his stomach was burned with several bubbles." said neighbor Li Qiuqin.

  "My father's death made me very sad, but there are still many things that I need to do in the village." Li Zhangcun's son Li Chunjie is a party member, and he has no time to clear up his grief. He devoted himself to self-help work in the village after the disaster, clearing the way. Cleaning up silt and moving rocks, Li Chunjie and the village party members and cadres were constantly busy, "turning the caring and thinking about him into the motivation of the secretary, this is what Dad expects to see."
