Across the Mountains and Seas: "Many parties help one party" Those who support Shanghai's insurance supply vehicles

Across the Mountains and Seas: Those Guaranteed Supply Vehicles Supporting Shanghai

Under the joint security and joint supply mechanism of "many parties help one party", many provinces continue to supply Shanghai with daily necessities such as vegetables, rice, noodles, meat, eggs, etc.

　　At about 4:00 p.m. on April 12, trucks to aid Shanghai assembled at Dalian Xingang Wharf, ready to board the ship.

These trucks crossed the Bohai Sea and headed to Shanghai at high speed on Yantai.

　　A huge network of capillaries opened.

To the south, to the east, the ships sailed far in the night and the trucks crossed the mountains.

The protagonist of the three meals, the skeleton of the cabin, is decomposed into flowing units one by one, heading to the common destination - Shanghai.

　　When a huge city with a population of more than 24 million was bound by the epidemic, the "blood transfusion" from other "extremities" propped up this grand "extracorporeal circulation".

　　According to the Ministry of Commerce, under the joint insurance and joint supply mechanism of "many parties help one party", many provinces across the country continue to supply vegetables, rice noodles, meat and eggs and other living materials to Shanghai.

　　Like red blood cells flowing one by one, freight drivers become the smallest unit in this blood vessel network.

Above the six axes, they are loaded with heavy expectations, heading towards the spring of "restart".

　　"To send food to 'relatives', all are well organized"

　　Fade Chen stood beside the trolley, skillfully opened a stack of red paper, picked up one and placed it lightly in the middle of a bag of vegetables, and then carefully tied the bag.

　　At this moment, her task is to pack more than 10,000 fresh vegetables with fellow volunteers from the Dalian Wanzhong Emergency Rescue Team.

After more than ten hours, about 2,300 tons of supplies, including them, will depart from Liaoning in three batches, leave the bay, rush to the expressway, and be sent to the homes of Shanghai residents.

　　There is not much time left for the volunteers.

　　The rescue team did not receive the task until nearly 10 p.m. on April 10, which also means that they must complete the sorting and packaging the next day in order to transport the supplies as scheduled.

On that day, it was the first working day when some epidemic control areas in Dalian were lifted, and most of the team members had to go to work.

　　As the secretary general of the rescue team, Fade Chen hurriedly recruited staff.

What she didn't expect was that more than 100 people signed up soon.

Workers, doctors, food delivery masters, business owners... Many people deliberately asked for leave.

This made Chen Fei's hanging heart slowly calm down, "Everyone has experienced isolation, so I understand the mood of Shanghai residents and are willing to put down other jobs to do this."

　　On April 11, a "hard battle" began.

At 8:30 in the morning, the volunteers arrived at the sorting point on time.

An orderly "assembly line" was quickly established: next to each variety of vegetables, there was a sorter; another group of team members pushed a trolley with 8 packaging bags and passed by.

At the end of the circle, each bag is filled with different varieties of fresh vegetables, kohlrabi, peppers, eggplants... They are all coordinated overnight.

　　"Most vegetable packs have more than 5 kinds of vegetables," the volunteers estimated, "almost 10 kilograms in each bag." In addition, each pack of vegetables was put in a small red note , with the words "Liaoning and Shanghai unite together to fight the epidemic; help each other to overcome difficulties together; although the materials are light, they are sincere; there is occasional damage, please forgive me".

　　After that, they were sealed in foam boxes, and the volunteers made a few small holes in the box to allow ventilation.

Sometimes there are too many dishes to cover, and they have to adjust back and forth, so as not to crush the vegetables.

　　The entire "pipeline" follows this caution.

Volunteers often remind each other that if there are rotten and bad vegetables, they should be removed in time; they should be handled with care, especially green peppers and cucumbers that are easily damaged.

"I would occasionally say half-jokingly, 'This is all food for your relatives, and they are all well organized.'" Chen Fei recalled.

　　From early morning to late night, Chen Fei and the volunteers were wrapped in protective clothing and masks, and did not stop for almost a moment.

During the meal, they hurriedly solved it on the spot. Some people simply stood and pulled a couple of bites. Fade Chen didn't hear a complaint from one of the team members.

Sweat trickled down his back, not dry when the sun went down, "When the cold wind blows, the back is cold."

　　The only time the "assembly line" is still is when it needs to wait for a new batch of boxes to arrive.

Taking advantage of this time, some people lay on their sides on the cardboard boxes to rest, and some people took a nap in the trolley.

　　Relay rafting of a love note

　　In the early morning of April 12, all the vegetables were packed.

Together with the small notes in the bag, they were loaded into the refrigerated compartment of the truck and rushed to the Liaoyu Group's Dalian Bay Xingang Wharf in the dark.

There, they will take the "Bohai Mazhu" ro-ro passenger ship, cross the Bohai Strait, arrive in Yantai, Shandong, and then go to Shanghai via the expressway.

　　In fact, while Chen Fei and the volunteers were working hard, Wang Libo, the first mate of the "Bohai Mazhu" ro-ro passenger ship, had already received this special task - he will be on April 12th and 13th. We set off at 9 a.m. and delivered two trucks with supplies.

　　Wang Libo had personally participated in the construction of the ship, and knew very well how to arrange the cabins, how to ensure safety and prevent epidemics.

But this time, he also wants to make sure the fruits and vegetables are fresh.

　　To this end, 800 meters of cables and sufficient plugs have been specially prepared on board to provide power protection for the cold chain containers.

Wang Libo also specially dispatched additional staff to guard the cabin to avoid any abnormality.

　　At the same time, at Liaoyu Group's Dalian Bay Xingang Wharf, the stationmaster Xue Cheng was ready to welcome the truck driver.

Routine security checks for drivers, nucleic acid tests, ticket collection, and guidance to a specially reserved parking lot, he and more than 60 staff members worked all night.

Xue Cheng couldn't remember how many calls he received and made, and his mobile phone, which was usually not charged very much, was charged at least twice this night.

　　In the early morning of April 12, the sky was gloomy at the Xingang Wharf, and the rain fell, forming puddles on the deck.

The truck kept slipping as it boarded the boat from the ramp. Wang Libo and Xue Cheng commanded attentively, and their clothes were soaked by the rain.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the "Bohai Mazhu" honked its whistle on time and drove south in the dense rain.

　　As usual, Wang Libo could rest after the sailing, but this time he couldn't sit still and went to the vehicle cabin from time to time to inspect.

"This voyage is about 6.5 hours. Some truck drivers say that the time is very short and there is no need to charge. But we think that the citizens of Shanghai need fresh vegetables, so they should always see it with their own eyes."

　　The same goes for Captain Li Guojiang and the crew of the "China Renaissance".

　　As the intelligent ro-ro passenger ship with the largest tonnage and the strongest loading capacity in Asia, "China Fuxing", like "Bohai Mazhu", was specially assigned to undertake one of the transportation tasks.

Li Guojiang applied to the company and prepared 1,000 meters of cables in advance and 80 three-hole sockets on board, enough for all trucks.

During the 6-hour voyage, the crew basically did not rest, and they constantly patrolled to check whether the temperature of the cold chain container had changed to ensure that the vegetables were fresh enough.

　　At about 2 am on April 13, the "China Fuxing" docked at Yantai Port.

The lights of the port were flickering, and the Yantai traffic police were waiting at the dock. Next, they would open the way and escort the trucks to the expressway.

There is the main position of the truck drivers.

In order to run the baton well, they set off in darkness.

　　The journey from Yantai to Shanghai is nearly 900 kilometers.

As a chronically ill patient, the driver Gao Tianyu (pseudonym) would take three or four hours of rest in the middle of running so far.

But this time, like other drivers in the team, he only briefly rested twice, each time no more than an hour, and checked the refrigerator from time to time to see if the temperature was maintained at 3°C-5°C.

　　The protective suit never took off, and finally, the team arrived in Shanghai at 7 o'clock that night.

"Tired, but worth it." Gao Tianyu said.

　　The "migration" road of more than 200 tons of materials

　　Starting from Xiangyang, Hubei, a team of 20 large trucks galloped towards Shanghai.

　　The expressway continued to hold hands and pulled out a horizontal passage nearly 1,100 kilometers long. More than 200 tons of vegetables and various kinds of rice, noodles and other materials were loaded and flowed on it, and the "migration" had to be completed in more than ten hours.

　　A few details show how unusual the team is.

The windows of the car were closed, and the big red banners of "'Xiang', 'Shanghai' help, fight against the epidemic together" were rolled out in the wind.

Most importantly, it also has a guide car with staff and two drivers from the Xiangyang Municipal Transportation Bureau, the Traffic Police Brigade, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

　　A walkie-talkie is like an invisible big hand, connecting the guide car and the truck fleet tightly together.

Every turn, every pass, accompanied by the sound of wireless electric current, the precise prompt of "go left" or "enter the service area" sounded in the carriage.

　　From 2:30 p.m. until it was dark, the street lights cast long shadows and flashed like flying out of the car window.

Zhou Bin from the Xiangyang CDC was sitting in the guide car.

　　After 9 p.m. on April 9, he went to Shanghai with the convoy delivering the first batch of supplies.

Previously, after discussing with experts from the Xiangyang Municipal Health and Health Commission, he decided on the anti-epidemic method for this trip.

　　(continued) case.

Among them, the most important and fundamental is to minimize getting off the bus and reducing the chance of contact with the outside world.

　　Wang Wenju of the Xiangyang Traffic Police Brigade still remembered the leader's instructions before departure to "take the drivers out successfully and bring them back successfully". Unexpectedly, the challenge was bigger than he imagined.

　　In the 30°C weather, even with the air conditioner on, driver Sun Youjun was burned by the door handle.

In the third car of the second convoy to Shanghai, 500 boxes of masks filled the 12-meter-long carriage.

　　Sitting in the passenger seat is Song Zhe, who has known Sun Youjun for five or six years.

Although the convoy was recruited by the local government, the drivers were mostly acquaintances pulling one by one and introducing each other.

At first, the two of them hesitated, "If you go there, the itinerary code will be accompanied by stars, which is somewhat inconvenient on the road, not to mention that you will have to quarantine for 14 days when you go back." But soon, they crushed these concerns: UNPROFOR The joint supply cannot be interrupted. "It is good to do our best."

　　It's getting closer and closer to Shanghai.

When the team arrived at the last service area more than 100 kilometers away from downtown Shanghai, it was already four or five in the morning of the next day.

According to the epidemic prevention plan, everyone must wear protective clothing, N95 masks, face shields, head covers, gloves, shoe covers, and wrap themselves tightly in accordance with the secondary protection standards of medical personnel.

　　This is Sun Youjun's first time wearing protective clothing.

Sitting in the dimly lit cab, he took a serious selfie to commemorate this special long-distance trip.

　　Although each car is equipped with sufficient food and drinking water, the driver Chen Hongbing said that since wearing protective clothing, everyone has tried their best to restrict their diet, and they dare not eat an extra piece of fruit; One sip, a bottle of water can't be drunk in a day.

A lot of them put on diapers.

　　At dawn, following the local police car that opened the road into the city center, the roads on both sides became wider and smoother.

This is Zhou Bin's first visit to Shanghai, but it is not the lively scene that often appears on TV at all.

There is no heavy traffic, no crowds, just buildings standing there in silence, waiting for the whole city to "restart" again.

　　"No money, dishes are delivered"

　　Lanling County, Linyi, Shandong is a major vegetable production county, known as the "Shandong Southern Vegetable Garden", and undertakes more than 60% of the vegetable supply tasks in Shanghai all year round.

At the end of March, they received an urgent order—the Minhang District of Shanghai needed to purchase 200,000 catties of vegetables, and they needed to set off immediately.

　　"At that time, we couldn't pretend so much and could only provide 40,000 catties. Considering that it was to ensure the daily life of Shanghai residents, we thought of giving an additional 60,000 catties of rough-processed cabbage." A worker at the Lanling County Government The staff recalled to the Beijing News reporter, "That night, the leaders decided again, 'I don't want the money, I will send the dishes.'"

　　But transportation has become a problem.

Since late March, the total amount of vegetables shipped from Lanling County to Shanghai has decreased, mainly due to the lack of drivers.

　　In the end, the delivery task fell to Zhou Xinyin, the driver of the Baoshan Operation Center of Rongqing Logistics, and his colleagues.

Zhou Xinyin's hometown is in Lanling, and he usually runs transportation in Shanghai.

This time, they had to run from Shanghai to Lanling with empty cars, and then transport the vegetables back to Shanghai.

　　The support from all directions is still coming.

At 11:00 a.m. on April 12, in the Kashgar area of ​​southwestern Xinjiang, aspen leaves on the roadside rustled in the wind, and a large truck was ready to go.

　　The driver Wu Chenglin and his wife Zheng Yuhong were sitting in the "driving building". The compartment behind them was full of supplies. It was led by the Kashgar Charity Association and raised a full 8,000 boxes of milk naan from caring people and caring enterprises.

　　This is a "love feedback" that travels more than 5,000 kilometers.

Xinjiang is not on the list of the joint security and supply mechanism organized by the Ministry of Commerce, but they have a special affection for Shanghai.

　　"Shanghai counterparts assisted the construction of our four counties in Kashgar and did a lot of practical work." Since the beginning of April, Lian Yueyou, vice president of Kashgar Charity Association, has been closely following the trend of the epidemic in Shanghai, "Although we are far apart, we I also want to do my best to help Shanghai.”

　　Under his call, in just a few days, hundreds of people participated in the donation "Solitaire" to support Shanghai's fight against the epidemic.

　　With supplies, transportation has become a big problem.

The distance is long and long, and the most commonly used railway transportation cannot achieve "point-to-point" delivery.

Under the epidemic, there are not many drivers willing to go to Shanghai.

While Lian Yueyou was in a daze, Wu Chenglin, who had just finished his last trip and was resting in Kashgar, saw the news of recruiting a driver.

After a little thought, he took the initiative to take it down.

　　"I think it's relatively simple. It's a matter of mutual understanding. If I can't find a car at the moment, I'll deliver it. After all, I'm worried about the epidemic in Shanghai every day." , "There is almost nothing left." Zheng Yuhong understood her husband's kindness and was willing to accompany him on this trip.

　　Hanging up the banner of "Hu and Ka unite together, fighting the 'epidemic' and defending Shanghai together", with a swipe of the steering wheel, the cart drove into the expressway.

Every 3 hours of running, the couple will take a 20-minute break, and then continue on their way.

In this way, I ate two simple meals a day, ran to 10 o'clock in the evening to find a place to rest, and set off again in the morning after chasing Morning Star.

　　The car is the couple's second home, and they spend 10 months in the car for 12 months a year.

In the first half of each year, Wu Chenglin and his wife travel south from Beijing to Guangdong, and then return to Beijing and surrounding areas.

In the second half of the year, Xinjiang's melons, fruits, pears and peaches gradually matured, and he went back and forth between Beijing Xinfadi and Xinjiang.

From north to south, he can see all four seasons in one trip, from deserts, snow-capped mountains and camels in the north to willows and flowers in the south, "the road is full of beautiful scenery".

　　The scenery on this road is still the same, but the couple have no intention of watching.

They know that someone is waiting.

At 11:00 am on April 19, the dusty truck finally drove into the streets of Shanghai.

After 7 days, the car, a Xinjiang specialty with milky fragrance, was solemnly handed over to the Yangjing Sub-district Office in Pudong New Area.

　　Behind the couple's cart, there is still a convoy of trucks carrying supplies from Xinjiang to assist Shanghai, heading here one after another.

　　"Benefactors" and Homecoming

　　For Meng Tong (pseudonym) and his wife, taking this order to go to Shanghai is putting on the family's livelihood, "We rely on the car to eat, and now many bosses will not know when they hear that you have been to Shanghai. I'll call you to pull the goods again. But we want to do something for Shanghai while we are young."

　　At 6:00 a.m. on April 12, he and his wife set off from Xinxiang with 33 tons of flour and dried noodles without telling the family.

With a "sense of mission" to help others, they ran fast on a road of nearly 1,000 kilometers.

However, the pass has a date limit, and the nucleic acid certificate also expired during the itinerary. After unloading the goods, the couple had to "try their luck" along the high-speed, and after persuading them to return, they looked for the next stop.

　　Among the drivers who were also stranded on the road in "car isolation", there was also Yang Junwu from Anhui.

On March 27, he set off from Huzhou, Zhejiang to deliver supplies to the Shanghai Pudong World Expo Fangcang shelter hospital.

This is not the first time he has participated in the fight against the epidemic. At the end of 2021, there is an epidemic in Shaoxing, and he is also eager to be on the front line of "blood transfusion".

"No matter how much you earn, you always feel that you are making a contribution to this country and doing it well."

　　At about the same time, near a gas station in Fengxian District, Shanghai, truck driver Deng Ming (pseudonym) and several other stranded drivers were busy cooking fires.

　　"My itinerary has an asterisk, and I can't go back to Zhejiang." They asked the local government for help, and soon received a batch of supplies. Several people built a simple stove with bricks by the roadside and set up a pot to cook vegetables.

Deng Ming took pictures of the Liaoning team galloping past. For him, "the biggest wish is to go home."

　　Many Shanghai residents have also noticed these aid trucks coming from afar.

Because the high blood pressure medicine was "broken", after two days, Yang Junwu felt dizzy.

He went to the Internet for help, and a nearby resident saw that he asked volunteers to bring him bread, instant noodles, milk, a quilt and a tablet of high blood pressure medicine.

He noted the other party's phone number as "Benefactor".

　　On April 12, Yang Junwu finally set foot on his way home, but because of the star of the trip, he ran to the Guangde Expressway in Anhui, and was isolated on the old 318 National Road.

The local police took good care of Yang Junwu, told him to pay attention to safety, and even helped him boil water.

Sometimes, nearby medical staff will bring their own lunch boxes to the drivers to eat.

　　On April 18, a nationwide teleconference on ensuring smooth logistics and promoting the stability of the industrial chain and supply chain required that a sufficient number of national passports should be issued and used, and nucleic acid test results should be mutually recognized nationwide within 48 hours, and the closed-loop management of "collect, walk and chase" should be implemented. , and shall not restrict access on the grounds of waiting for nucleic acid results.

　　On April 20, Deng Ming told a reporter from the Beijing News that the drivers who had eaten together had all dispersed, and some went home for quarantine, while he remained in Shanghai because he held a pass to continue to provide logistics services.

　　The Liaoning team, which was photographed by him galloping past, has also arrived in his hometown and began to be isolated.

In the memory of Wangyu team captain Dong Xiaoyu, this return journey is different.

"When passing through Tianjin, I took the lead. Two small cars passed by. The driver kept honking the horn. Then they pulled the window down and gave a thumbs up. After arriving in Liaoning, many car drivers honked their horns and praised them. , or roll down the window and give us a thumbs up."

　　In the volunteer group who participated in sorting vegetables, some people kept sending pictures.

It was a red note lying on a bag of vegetables.

On the evening of April 13, a Shanghai citizen found it when he opened the vegetable bag, and took a photo and posted it on the Internet, with the simplest thanks.

　　This may be one of the vegetables for Shanghai aid packaged by the volunteers, and it is about to go to the dining table of an ordinary citizen.

Those 15-plus hours of intense work finally made sense.
