"The car is no longer needed, it’s important to save your life", "Get out of the car, don’t miss", "Go ahead and don’t need anything"... In the video, a man wading in the water, constantly beating one car after another. Shouted from the window of the car.
It was at his reminder that many people got out of the car.
Some people abandon the car and leave after repeated persuasion.
Only 10 minutes later, the flood water covered the roof of the car.
This was a scene that took place at the upslope of the Jingguang North Road Tunnel from north to south at about 18:00 on July 20.
On the same day, a heavy rainstorm hit Zhengzhou. At about 17:40, hundreds of vehicles were jammed in the uphill slope of the Jingguang North Road Tunnel from north to south. The rising water gradually flooded two-thirds of the tires of the vehicles.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the man named Hou Wenchao immediately ran and screamed and organized everyone to evacuate as soon as possible.
"The biggest hero of the Jingguang Tunnel", "You saved dozens of families", "Thank you, civilian hero"... After the video was uploaded to the Internet, it immediately aroused the crowd of netizens, and people thanked Hou Wenchao for his timely "calling out" in times of crisis. , I also admire his accurate prediction in the face of disasters.
Under the rainstorm, there are many such touching stories.
From 16:00 to 17:00 on July 20, the rainfall in Zhengzhou reached 201.9 millimeters, which is equivalent to the pouring down of 103 West Lakes.
Behind the series of numbers that broke the historical limit is a city caught off guard, and people are trapped in every corner.
In addition to the official rescue, the mutual assistance between ordinary people such as Hou Wenchao's "calling" also warms the city and countless people.
"The car is no longer needed, it's important to save your life"
"At that time, some people hadn't realized the danger, and some people were reluctant to abandon their cars. After all, cars are a big deal for the common people, but life is more important than anything else." Recently, Hou Wenchao, a Henan native working in Beijing A reporter from the Rule of Law Daily recalled the scene that day.
From 8:00 on July 17 to 14:00 on the 21st, a heavy rainstorm occurred in Zhengzhou.
The time when Hou Wenchao and others blocked the tunnel on Jingguang Road was the peak of rainfall since the heavy rains in Zhengzhou. From 16:00 to 17:00 on July 20, the rainfall in Zhengzhou exceeded the extreme value of my country's land hour rainfall.
Looking at the rising water outside the car, Hou Wenchao thought of the "July 21 rainstorm" in Beijing in 2012. He happened to be in Beijing that day and saw news reports that someone was killed in the car under the Guangqumen overpass.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to abandon the car and ran uphill.
Seeing some car owners still sitting in the car and refusing to leave, Hou Wenchao was very anxious, "Once the water flows past the car door, people may never get out and can't wait any longer."
"The car is no longer needed, it's important to save your life"... He was wading into the water, "calling" and knocking on the car window over and over again, and his voice became hoarse.
A young driver got out of the car under his persuasion, but the grandmother in the back seat was still reluctant to get out of the car.
She kept mumbling "It's still a new car", and tightly grasped the headrest on the seat with both hands.
"Life is a matter of life," Hou Wenchao took his heart cruelly and dragged the old woman out of the car with the driver.
Along the way, Hou Wenchao saw many scenes of mutual assistance and rescue. For example, everyone supported the elderly and children and walked forward together; running out of the Jingguang Road tunnel, the uphill on both sides was the Longhai Elevated Road, but from the slope to the Longhai Elevated Road In the middle, there is a railing that is more than one meter high. Many young people stand by the railing, helping the elderly and children to cross the railing.
"Many car owners didn't leave after moving to a safe position. They watched their cars disappear into the water. There was also my car. In the end, they couldn't even see the shadow." Afterwards, everyone left one after another, and Hou Wenchao waded waist and even went together. The water in the chest traveled all the way, returned home more than two o'clock in the morning, and then fell ill and developed a fever.
After Hou Wenchao's "calling" video was uploaded to the Internet, words of praise continued to flow in.
In his opinion, this is just a trivial matter, "I am a party member. At this time, I must take the lead."
Recently, many media have come to interview Hou Wenchao, and he has not refused any media interview.
He said that this is a good opportunity to publicize the knowledge of mutual assistance and rescue. "I hope that through telling my story with the media, more people will be aware of disasters and escape in the face of heavy rains."
On July 22, someone in the group forwarded a picture of a crane salvaged by a crane. Hou Wenchao recognized it at a glance. It was a private car he had abandoned two days ago.
On the afternoon of July 26, after 5 days of non-stop operation, the Jingguang Road Tunnel completed the drainage of accumulated water.
"I hope everyone is well"
On the morning of July 21, the rain weakened slightly, and many people walked out of a cinema called Oriental Golden Harvest Cinema in Zhengzhou and returned home.
Soon, a story about "Thousands of people staying overnight at the Zhengzhou Rainstorm Cinema" was screened in the WeChat "Circle of Friends".
"I didn't expect this night to be spent safely." said Ms. Sun, who works in a company two kilometers away from the cinema.
Before entering the movie theater, she had been standing on the dark road for three or four hours, and the water at the intersection reached her waist.
"The manager opened the door and greeted us to drink and rest. I felt warm when I saw the light on."
Ms. Sun said that she will always remember this scene: In the spacious projection hall, almost every seat is half-lying for shelter from the rain, including elderly people, children, and pregnant women.
In the face of extreme weather, people leaned on each other and helped each other to move forward.
Many of them did not know each other, but did not hesitate to help.
The netizen "@奇迹奇缘" was one of the trapped people on the Zhengzhou subway at that time: "Water kept leaking into the car, standing on the seat, the water reached the chest, and many people had symptoms of breathing difficulties, but everyone was still comforting each other. , Cheer up; there is the sound of life-saving footsteps from the roof of the car, and there is a chance of being rescued. Everyone is shouting to let the fainted go first, let the ladies and children go first, everyone helps each other and goes up to help..."
There is such a guy who lost his left leg in an accident when he was 4 years old.
But in the face of the disaster, he and his two friends went "retrograde", soaked in the water for 15 hours, more than 40 kilometers back and forth, damaged two kayaks, rescued more than 60 people...
At the end of the rescue, blisters were worn out on his hands, his legs kept cramping, and the whole person was exhausted and collapsed.
His name is Zhai Xiaowei, from Puyang, Henan.
Under the torrential rain and torrents, there is still too much moving——
A steamed bun shop on Dongfeng Road in Zhengzhou. The owner took out all the ingredients to make steamed buns and gave them to passers-by; Zhengzhou East Railway Station, the waiting hall was leaking rain, the train was out of service, some passengers were trapped and distraught. A teenager played "Me and My Motherland"; Many Zhengzhou citizens spontaneously set up a "Temporary Shelter for Trusted Housing in Zhengzhou" and released the location of free houses to those in need...
Many public places provide temporary shelters for the trapped people.
"Zheng Tu is not closed tonight." On the evening of July 20, Zhengzhou Library released this tweet.
A parent saw a picture of his child and left a message: "Worried all afternoon! I saw that the child was safe and well, tears welled up! Thank you for the library!" In the photo, a tall boy wearing white short sleeves lowered his head and wrote While doing homework, a bottle of orange juice was placed on the left hand side after a few sips.
There are also countless compatriots who are concerned about the safety of Zhengzhou, hoping to do something for the people who have experienced the torrential rains and floods.
The Internet has played its due meaning at this time.
Since the afternoon of the 20th, each piece of mutual assistance and rescue information has been continuously spread, spread, summarized and updated in real time on the Internet. Some people took out the spare rafts in the warehouse, some small shops organized emergency food delivery, and others listed electricity leakage. The area prompts everyone to avoid, someone sorted out emergency shelters, and the information of victims seeking help in the entry was continuously forwarded and spread.
Among these mutual assistance information on the Internet, there are "Trainstorm Self-rescue Manual" written by private professionals, contact information of rescue teams, and "Information on Rescue Persons Awaiting Rescue" compiled by the public.
In particular, "Information on Rescue Persons", an online form created by the netizen "Manto" on a Tencent document, collected and aggregated a large amount of information provided by people seeking help and private rescuers within 24 hours.
At two o'clock in the morning on the 21st, volunteer Liu Yan held her mobile phone and switched back and forth between different dialog boxes. The collected help information was distributed one by one. After verification by teammates, it was sent to volunteers or professional rescue teams to carry out targeted actions. Rescue.
"I hope everyone is well." This is the heartfelt expectation of all volunteers.
"Non-governmental mutual assistance and rescue are of great significance"
The flood is raging, and unity is the strongest shield.
During the Henan disaster, many ordinary and great rescuers emerged. Their tall figures and touching moments are moving. The combination of rescue, mutual assistance and mutual rescue forms the strongest force and support. The strongest "safety umbrella".
During the Zhengzhou rainstorm rescue process, a rainstorm self-rescue guide was circulated on the Internet. The guide provided self-rescue common sense in various situations such as personal outdoor self-rescue, confined space self-rescue, community residents self-rescue, factory and enterprise self-rescue, and drowning people’s shore rescue. .
Zhu Wei, deputy director of the Communication Law Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law, said that there are many types of non-governmental mutual assistance and mutual assistance. The most common one is "volunteers." Spontaneous organizations can be included in the category of "volunteers."
Not only on-site assistance, online donations, etc. can be counted as non-governmental mutual assistance and mutual assistance.
"Non-people mutual aid and mutual rescue are of great significance. They are the embodiment of the core values of socialism and the cohesion of the nation. Mutual assistance and mutual assistance are typical positive energy, and they can also make up for the vacancy of government rescue." Zhu Wei said, troops and government agencies There is a time and space gap between the organization of other functional departments and the occurrence of the disaster. Therefore, the people who are nearby and empathetic are often the people who are there in the first place.
He said with deep feeling that those ordinary people who spontaneously hold hands to ride through the rainstorm and flood, and those ordinary people who leave more hope for women and the elderly, maybe there is a barrier between them that is difficult to communicate, maybe they are also for work and life. Full of complaints, but at this moment, their hearts have gathered a majestic and upward spiritual force.
Zhu Wei noticed that in recent years, the situation of non-governmental mutual aid and mutual rescue has undergone great changes, which was reflected in the rescue of the heavy rain in Zhengzhou.
For example, many well-known rescue organizations and teams have been formed by the private sector. They have learned relevant emergency rescue knowledge, and the rescue work is more scientific, professional, and more efficient.
Moreover, these rescue teams assist the local government in the rescue, obey the local dispatching arrangements, and become an important supplement and force for the rescue.
"More importantly, in the past, many people worried about mutual assistance and mutual rescue. If something went wrong, they would be held accountable. The Civil Code made new encouraging regulations for this. As long as the rescuer is not intentional or grossly negligent, the rescuer does not have to bear responsibility. This Mutual assistance and rescue among the people eliminates the hidden dangers in the law. Under the framework of the rule of law, the rescue work will be more powerful." Zhu Wei said.
Zhu Wei believes that if we want to further play the role of non-governmental mutual assistance and mutual assistance, we should first start with education and implement the relevant learning and education of primary and secondary school students, first of all self-help, and secondly rescue.
