"Noah's Ark" held up by 22 hands

　　Our reporter Shi Linjing

　　In Zhengzhou on July 20th, the heavy rains were so intense that a black car stalled in the stagnant water and instantly became a "lone boat".

　　The rain is about to flood the roof of the car.

　　At this time, the grandparents were trapped in the car, only the wiper was still swinging, as if sending out a distress signal.

　　On the occasion of the day and night, strangers kept swimming struggling, some brought hammers, some brought buckets, and others kept smashing car windows with kitchen knives... A total of 11 men were about to submerge the three grandparents and grandchildren in the flood. At that time, a reverse "rush" was carried out by coincidence.

　　The rain was still falling, and the hammer fell one after another.

Finally the window broke and people were pulled out one by one.

This group of mortals, also heroes, wrapped the children in raincoats and carefully put them into a blue bucket, and then escorted the blue "Noah's Ark" away from danger by relay.

　　He who can't swim, was the first to rush to the car

　　At 17:20, a car stopped at the intersection of Chuangye Road and Puhui Road in Zhengdong New District. Knee-length water was constantly filling the car.

　　One kilometer away, Yu Ting (pseudonym) is experiencing the most tormenting moment in her life.

In the car were her mother and two children who had just been picked up from the kindergarten.

　　"It has been raining that day. My mother went to the kindergarten to pick up the children in advance. The car was stopped in the road halfway by the water and turned off." Yu Ting said that her mother tried to open the car door, but she tried several times without success. , She waved to the outside of the car, but it was also more than 20 meters away from the nearest shop, and no one could see her.

　　At around 17:25, Yu Ting received the first call from her mother: The car was stuck in the middle of the road and had been flooded.

She rushed out, outside was heavy rain she had never seen before, and the water on the road was nearly one meter deep.

"All the alarm calls are busy. I have to calm down to rescue them." Yu Ting said, she asked her mother to tell her the exact location and observe the surrounding situation.

　　As far as I can see, there is only a convenience store, a hotel and a noodle shop.

Yu Ting immediately opened the Internet to find the contact information of the convenience store where the incident occurred, but no one answered the phone call twice.

After that, she immediately posted another circle of friends, hoping that someone nearby could rush to help.

　　At 17:30, Convenience Store owner Lu Union, who was rescuing goods in another store, saw two missed calls on his mobile phone and immediately called back. An anxious voice came from the opposite side: "My mother and two children Trapped in the car in front of your store, you can't open the door. It's a black car. I can't rush to it now. Could you please help save people!" "Don't worry, I will arrange for someone right away."

　　At 17:34, Li Kunpeng received a call: "There is a car at the intersection. Someone is in the car. Go."

　　The call was made by Lu Lianhe.

Li Kunpeng, 32, is a staff member of a nearby hotel. He is transferring computers at the front desk of the hotel.

Hanging up, Li Kunpeng rushed out without even thinking about holding a kitchen knife next to him.

　　He has forgotten that he can't swim.

　　When he saw the car, the water had already covered Li Kunpeng's chest. He tried to raise his head to the highest point to avoid the rain from pouring into his mouth, but on the way to the car, he still choked several salivas.

　　On the other side, Yu Ting dialed her mother's phone over and over again:

　　"Where is the water? It's on the ankle. Is anyone coming? No."

　　"Where is the water? It's waist. Is anyone coming? No."

　　...

　　"Someone is coming!" Around 17:40, Yu Ting learned from her mother's phone that someone had arrived.

　　Struggling to wade through the neckless water, Li Kunpeng, who can't swim, was the first to rush to the scene.

　　More people are coming from all directions

　　The water is almost over the roof of the car.

　　Climbing to the roof of the car, through the skylight, Li Kunpeng saw an aunt in the car waving her hands, and there were two children next to her, head tilted close to the roof.

　　Li Kunpeng hurriedly cut the car window with a kitchen knife, but failed to cut through.

Seeing people coming around one after another, he yelled, hurry up and get a hammer!

Wang Zhilei, 17, heard the shout and rushed into the water.

Standing 1.83 meters tall, he grabbed a kitchen knife and smashed it a few times, but still couldn't break the glass.

At this time, the security guard Lou Yanzhe patrolling not far away was rushing to the car with a hammer, and his colleague Fan Xiaoliang took off his shirt and followed.

　　In that hour, the rainfall in Zhengzhou surpassed the extreme hourly rainfall in my country.

　　During that hour, students, teachers, noodle shop owners, property security guards, unknown passers-by... more and more people came from all directions, backwards.

　　Yin Longfei, the owner of a nearby hotel, hugged a big blue bucket and rushed on it. This bucket was originally used to wash linen. He who can’t swim wants to swim with the bucket to save people; a 24-year-old working in a nearby bar Young Wang Shenzhen and his colleague Feng Jinchao found a bundle of fire ropes and rushed to the direction of the car; Chen Yangyang, the child's dance teacher, saw Yu Ting's circle of friends, and got off the train from the nearest subway station to the place where the incident occurred.

　　The water level in the car is getting higher and higher, and more people gather.

　　Li Xiang, the noodle shop owner who heard the call for help, had no time to think about it, and rushed over with the big hammer in the shop.

At this time, Lou Yanzhe had arrived in front of the car, and Li Kunpeng took the hammer and smashed the sunroof. Li Xiang climbed on the roof, cut a small hole in the side window, and then smashed the glass with his hands.

　　At 17:43, the window was finally broken open.

When they pulled the boy out, the child shouted cold, Lou Yanzhe took off his raincoat, wrapped him in the blue bucket brought by Yin Longfei, and escorted him to a safe place.

　　In the video recorded by netizens, there were a total of 11 men before and after. When the flood was about to inundate the three grandparents, they all conducted a reverse "rush" at the same place, and all three were rescued in the end.

　　"If there really is Noah's Ark in this world, I think this is it." Netizen Yang Junjiang said.

　　A mortal and a hero

　　This is a "lone boat" rescue full of calm, wisdom, fearlessness, courage and love.

　　Before the rescuers arrived, Yu Ting called Lu Lianhe again because he was in a hurry, and the reply was: "You don't have to worry about this."

　　After learning more about the situation, she realized the weight of this sentence:

　　In the process of breaking the glass with his hand, Li Xiang's hand was scratched, and the whole tendon of the little finger of his right hand was broken in half;

　　On the way to rescue, Chen Yangyang risked his life to swim for a long time, and lost his bag and mobile phone;

　　Only one of the three computers in Li Kunpeng Hotel was transferred;

　　Lou Yanzhe and Fan Xiaoliang are veterans. They say that it is the duty of soldiers to save people from danger;

　　Wang Zhilei, who has dreamed of being a soldier since he was a child, hopes to sign up for the army after he turns 18...

　　"Anyone will rush forward." Afterwards, they almost all said that.

"What do they think, what kind of power is it that makes them rush forward without fear of life and death?" This question that had been thought about for a long time in her heart also had an answer.

　　"You don't have to worry about it." Until now, Yu Ting is still warmed by these words.

　　Yu Ting's mother's composure and calmness also surprised Yu Ting.

"I can't hear her panic on the phone." Yu Ting said, she was afraid of affecting the emotions of me and the child.

Afterwards, Yu Ting learned that while waiting for rescue, her mother had been holding up her two children and told them that she was playing a flood adventure game.

　　Afterwards, Yu Ting took the child to visit the injured Li Xiang, his right hand was still wrapped in thick gauze.

"The first thing he said to my son was to ask him if he was afraid, and my son said he was not afraid. He said that man should be like this, and he should be a brave man when he grows up."

　　Now, Yu Ting has been busy making pennants, contacting the hospital for the injured, and counting everyone’s losses. She wants to make compensation as much as possible.

　　On July 25, Li Kunpeng updated a circle of friends: prepare something for the hard-working uncles and aunts of sanitation.

In the picture, dozens of sanitation workers surrounded Li Kunpeng, and everyone received a box of water and instant noodles.

"Now everyone calls me Brother Chopper." Li Kunpeng said embarrassedly during the interview. Now he has set up a "Brother Chopper Charity Relief Station" at the entrance of the hotel to provide temporary assistance to those in need.

　　"I will tell my children that there is a group of people near Chuangye Road and Puhui Road in the East District of Zhengzhou: Lu Lianhe’s supermarket has been open for two or three years. On the right is Yin Longfei’s Xinzhikai Hotel, and on the left is Li Kunpeng’s Guan Xukai. Hotel, Li Xiang is the owner of the nearby scissors noodle restaurant, Lou Yanzhe and Fan Xiaoliang are the property security guards, the bar where Wang Shenzhen and Feng Jinchao work are also nearby, there are also Wang Zhilei who hopes to join the army, the handsome street dance teacher Chen Yangyang and an unknown The passers-by, they are mortals and heroes." Yu Ting said.
