  "In addition to the elderly and children with limited mobility, basically everyone in the village came to help. We divided the motorcycle team into two shifts and delivered supplies 24 hours a day." Mo Yangming, director of the village committee of Mocheng Village, Tangnan Town, Teng County, Guangxi accepted on the 25th. A reporter from Chinanews.com said in an interview: "The oldest villager participating in the motorcycle transport team is 70 years old."

  On the afternoon of March 21, a passenger plane of China Eastern Airlines crashed in Mozong Village.

Because the accident happened in a mountain col in the mountainous area, it was inconvenient for vehicles to enter and exit. The villagers spontaneously formed a motorcycle transportation team to transport the relief materials to the accident site.

  According to Mo Yangming, more than 200 people in Mozong Village participated in the motorcycle transport team, and villagers from several nearby villages also joined in.

Since most of the young people in the village go out to work, most of the motorcycle transport teams are middle-aged and elderly people in the village.

  "In the past few days, the motorcycle has driven more than 100 kilometers. Since I bought it, I haven't driven so many miles in the same period of time for so many years, and I haven't driven so long during the busy farming season." Mo Shijian, a villager in Modong Village, said.

  "I joined the rescue on the night of the incident. Everyone was voluntary, and there was no need to organize at all." Mo Shijian introduced that most of the villagers in Mozong Village participated in the rescue: "Those who have motorcycles will participate in the transportation of materials, women will Most of them are helping with sanitation and other chores, and my wife is also helping at the command center these days."

  In Motong Village Primary School, the temporary emergency rescue command center is also a distribution point for various relief materials.

Relief materials are pulled from the outside to the command center by car, and then transported to the accident site by villagers using motorcycles.

  There are also women in the motorcycle transport team.

Early in the morning on the 25th, a female villager surnamed Liang, who was less than 40 years old, was using her scooter to deliver two boxes of pure water to the accident site. She said that she had arranged the night shift the day before yesterday, and transported it from the afternoon to the next morning.

  "On average, each of them runs more than ten times a day. We don't have specific statistics. They will go as long as they need to, from morning to night." Mo Yangming said.

  The reporter saw in Mosong Village that every day at dawn, there was a roar of motorcycle engines outside the rescue command center. A large number of villagers appeared on time on motorcycles, waiting for the arrangement to deliver the relief supplies.

  Every day, on the winding and rugged road about three kilometers long from the rescue command center to the accident site, the motorcycles used by the villagers to transport the rescue supplies are like ants moving their homes, shuttling back and forth, rain or shine.

  "It's been very tiring these days, but such a big accident happened in our village, we should do our best." Mo Shijian, who was ready to set off on another transport mission, hit the accelerator and hurriedly set off.
