Luo Yong, Gan Yu, Ni Taigao... Behind the miracle of life are the stories of not giving up and not giving up
mortal hero
"I cried, I was always moved by the ordinary and great stories of the Chinese people." "In this story, there are too many moving people: the rescue team who did not give up hope, the villagers who woke up early in the morning to find someone ..." In the past two days, the news that Gan Yu, an employee of the hydropower station who had been missing for 17 days after the earthquake, was rescued moved people in all fields.
After the earthquake in Luding, Sichuan, landslides occurred along the Wandong River, a first-level tributary of the Dadu River, forming a dammed lake, threatening the downstream Wandong Hydropower Station with an installed capacity of 60,000 kilowatts.
At the critical moment, Luo Yong, the hydraulic engineer of the hydropower station, did not escape quickly, but rushed to the dam abutment about 10 stories high and opened the flood gate.
Realizing the risk of not turning off the generator, he and his colleague Gan Yu ran to the factory building to turn off the switch.
These two actions avoided the disaster of the river flooding over the dam and destroying the village, and saved the lives and property safety of the people downstream, but they themselves were trapped and lost contact.
On September 8, Luo Yong was rescued by blowing smoke; on September 21, Gan Yu, who had been missing for 17 days, was found by Ni Taigao, a villager in Yuejin Village, Shimian County, Ya'an City.
During the earthquake relief process, rescues of the "forced crossing of the Dadu River" and "flying over the Luding Bridge" were frequently staged.
From the strong rescue of the government to the mutual rescue of the people, it tells one story after another of "not abandoning, not giving up".
Ordinary people do extraordinary things and create miracles of life
On September 21, Gan Yu, a retrograde hydraulic engineer who moved people's hearts, was finally found.
Ni Taigao found Gan Yu at Tiger Hill.
The Tiger Post is located in Yuejin Village, Wanggangping Township, Shimian County. The Wandong River at the foot of the mountain is the boundary river between Shimian County and Luding County.
The average altitude here is more than 2,000 meters, with high mountains and dense forests and complex terrain. It was once the place where the Red Army fought on the Long March.
After the earthquake, for safety reasons, Ni Taigao did not live in his home in Yuejin Village.
On September 19, a rescue team went up the mountain to search for Gan Yu. He happened to return to the village to feed the sheep and learned that Gan Yu, who had lost contact, might be on the mountain.
"I'm familiar with the mountain, so I just wanted to help me find it." In order to find someone more convenient, Ni Taigao stayed at a relative's house in the village that night.
The next day, Ni Taigao went up the mountain to search, but couldn't find it after searching around.
At 6:00 am on September 21st, Ni Taigao got up and went up the mountain again. At 7:00 am, he heard a suspected call for help.
Thinking that he heard it wrong, he yelled a few times, but there was a response.
The woods are densely covered with thorns, and there is no road at all, so we have to go around.
Ni Taigao followed the voice, and finally saw Gan Yu lying in the woods at the foot of a steep slope.
It is hard to imagine how Gan Yu, who was highly short-sighted but lost his glasses, in a blurred field of vision, how he persevered in the harsh mountains and forests and waited for a chance to survive.
From being trapped on September 5th to being rescued on September 21st, for 17 days, Gan Yu relied on drinking mountain spring water and eating wild fruits to satisfy his hunger. It was rotten, the pants were wet all the time, and there were multiple abrasions all over the body.
"As soon as he saw me, he burst into tears." According to Ni Taigao's description, when he found Gan Yu, his clothes were all scratched, and he was still bleeding from multiple injuries. Trembling.
Gan Yu's first sentence made him still fresh in his memory - "I met a good person today. If it wasn't for you, my life might have been lost."
Ni Taigao quickly took out the milk and moon cakes he brought, "I told him to eat slowly, and I didn't dare to let him eat too much at once."
Later, Ni Taigao called his family, asked his family to bring some clothes, and contacted the local government.
Soon, villagers and rescuers rushed to the scene.
They made a simple stretcher with branches and carried Gan Yu to a gentle place.
In the afternoon, Gan Yu was taken to the hospital by helicopter for treatment.
Currently, Gan Yu is receiving treatment at the West China Hospital of Sichuan University.
After preliminary diagnosis, Gan Yu suffered multiple soft tissue contusions throughout his body, fractured ribs, and fractured fibula of his left lower extremity, accompanied by severe infection. Fortunately, his vital signs were stable and his consciousness was clear. The hospital will conduct further examinations and targeted treatment.
"I pay attention to Gan Yu's news every day, and I can finally sleep well today." "It's great that I have been saved, and I have been saved!" Salute to ordinary heroes!
"... After Gan Yu was rescued, the heart-warming good news swept the Internet, and netizens praised one after another, "A good man meets a good man!"
"
"I hope he gets better soon." Ni Taigao has been paying attention to Gan Yu's situation. He said that he didn't think too much about saving people, and he didn't expect anything in return.
"I only know that to be a good person and do more good deeds."
Kuang Wenxue, captain of the Blue Leopard Rescue Team in Leibo County, Sichuan Province, who participated in the search and rescue of Gan Yu, said: "We semi-professionals are well prepared and have a hard time on the mountain. Gan Yu is just an ordinary employee and is highly short-sighted. It's a miracle."
Miracles will not fall from the sky, and behind them is the full-scale search and rescue that never gives up——
On September 8, after Luo Yong, who was trapped for 75 hours, escaped, he drew a detailed roadmap for the rescue team to help them find Gan Yu as soon as possible;
On September 9, the rescue force continued to rescue Gan Yu. The helicopter waited for a day and could not take off due to rain.
Shimian County rescue force went into the mountain on foot to rescue, but also stopped because of road collapse;
On September 10, two fire rescue teams from Chengdu and Deyang flew to the designated location by helicopter to carry out search and rescue. The rescue team consisted of more than ten professional fire rescue personnel, local guides and Luo Yong;
On September 11, the rescue force once again carried out search and rescue in the surrounding area, but failed to find Gan Yu. At the same time, many civil rescue teams were also carrying out search and rescue...
The persevering and tenacious Gan Yu, the villagers who spontaneously sought help, the relatives who did not give up hope, and the rescue teams from all walks of life who did their best to search and rescue, did their best in difficult times and jointly created a miracle of life.
Gan Yu's mother, who is currently accompanying her son in the hospital, said: "I am especially grateful to them for helping me find my son. I can't express my feelings in words now."
"Luo Yong, Gan Yu, and Ni Taigao are all people who don't give up on others or themselves in times of crisis. Ordinary people have done extraordinary things and created miracles of life." said Tao Yong, chief physician of the Department of Ophthalmology of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital.
Don't give up any chance to survive, don't waste any time
After Gan Yu lost contact, the official search and rescue team, civilian search and rescue team, family members, and villagers voluntarily entered the mountain and took turns to fight, and they did not give up for 17 days.
"From being trapped to getting out of danger, Gan Yu's fate is a microcosm of the joint efforts of all parties to rescue the disaster area." said Qin Jiming, an associate professor at the Department of Philosophy of Sun Yat-sen University (Zhuhai).
Time goes back to September 5, 2022, in the face of an unexpected 6.8 earthquake, from the central to the local, from the people's army to the fire brigade, from medical workers to rescue personnel, from party members and vanguards to volunteers, from all directions. A rescue team followed the order and set off in reverse.
Fight against disasters and race against time.
6 minutes after the earthquake, the Sichuan Provincial Fire Rescue Corps dispatched 7 fire teams including Chengdu and Deyang to advance to the disaster area; 40 minutes after the earthquake, the national and provincial emergency medical rescue teams dispatched by the Sichuan Provincial Health and Health Commission "Advance Team" set off; 1 hour and 40 minutes after the earthquake, the first batch of rescue vehicles passed the Luding toll station, and 708 emergency rescue channels were opened on expressways in Sichuan Province; 3 hours and 20 minutes after the earthquake, 240 special police officers from Ganzi Prefecture arrived at the epicenter to carry out emergency rescue; 4 hours and 40 minutes after the earthquake, the first batch of seriously injured people in Luding County were transferred to Ya'an City People's Hospital; 5 hours and 30 minutes after the earthquake, the temporary resettlement of Moxi Town, the epicenter of the earthquake, turned on the "first light"... Aftershocks continued, road The broken bridge was destroyed, which could not stop the determination of the rescue force to travel at night.
From the earthquake at 12:52 on September 5th to 18:00 on the same day, more than 6,500 rescue forces of various types, including "Olive Green", "Navy Blue", "Fire Orange", "Angel White", and "Volunteer Red", were urgently assembled. Expanded to 13,000 people.
Fighting disasters and saving lives are the top priorities.
After the earthquake, a large rescue of life by water, land and air quickly unfolded. People remember this picture: On the nearly vertical 100-meter cliff in Hailuogou Scenic Area, two rescuers from the Sichuan Armed Police Corps guarded one another. A young boy climbed the rock forward; on the Wandong River in Detuo Town, Luding County, the rolling rocks smashed into the water with a roar, passing the rescue boat just passed; over the cliff in Wandong Village, Detuo Town, A helicopter from a transport search and rescue regiment of the Air Force in the Western Theater Command picked up the trapped people by hovering and hoisting...
Life comes first, and there is no delay in treating the wounded.
Two minutes after the earthquake, the Sichuan Provincial Health Commission immediately dispatched 28 members of two provincial-level plateau health emergency rescue teams from Ganzi and Ya'an to Luding County, and 40 members to Shimian County and Hanyuan County to carry out emergency medical rescue; dispatched national-level emergency medical rescue teams. , 99 medical personnel from the provincial emergency medical rescue team rushed to the epicenter of Luding.

On the afternoon of September 6, medical staff from Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital took a helicopter to Wanggangping Township and Caoke Township of Shimian County to treat and transfer the wounded. Emergency treatment of critically ill wounded was started immediately during the transfer.
Hundreds of kilometers away, a number of tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province have launched remote consultations to provide accurate treatment plans for the wounded through the collision of the "strongest brain".
Avoiding new casualties and preventing secondary disasters are crucial.
In the face of earthquake-induced landslides, collapses and other geological disasters, drones "reconnaissance" to report disasters, build communication networks, and remote sensing satellites "scan" to identify hidden dangers... The application of advanced equipment and technical means provides on-site command and dispatch, secondary Disaster investigation provides a strong guarantee.
There is a shared weal and woe where one side is in trouble and all parties support it, and there is a courageous move forward that does not rely on self-reliance.
After the earthquake, communications and traffic in Ziyachang Village, Detuo Town, Luding County were interrupted, and three groups in the village lost contact with the outside world.
Zhang Ping, secretary of the village party branch, climbed three mountains on foot overnight and quickly organized the villagers to rescue themselves.
Facing the reporter's camera, the 42-year-old Zhang Ping was a little shy. While telling "Don't show your face", he limped in the mountains and recited: "Everyone has to move, not one less."
Do not give up any chance of survival, do not delay any time, and minimize casualties.
In the face of the catastrophe that fell from the sky, what we see is a strong responsibility and responsibility.
In the face of disasters, the warmth of the human world in the same boat is touching and inspiring
The two severely affected counties in the Luding earthquake, Luding County and Shimian County, are the red land where the heroic feats of "flying the Luding Bridge" and "crossing the Dadu River" were written in blood.
Times are changing, the bloody nature of the people's children and soldiers who are not afraid of sacrifice has not changed, and the glorious tradition and fine style of the fire brigade have not changed.
"The heroic troops of that year are back!" This scene is very memorable: 6 victims of Honghuagang Group, Wandong Village, Deduo Town, Luding County, with the help of officers and soldiers of a service support brigade of the 77th Army, boarded the On the first assault boat.
After the earthquake, 200 officers and soldiers of the brigade rushed to the disaster area from the training site, and carried out search and rescue and transfer of the wounded overnight.
Batch after batch, ship after ship, 182 stranded victims were successfully transferred to a safe place by the officers and soldiers of the brigade and were properly resettled.
"There is no bridge, our hands are the bridge." The firefighters from the Garzi forest trekked over the mountains and mountains for nearly 3 hours and rushed to Qinggangping Village, Moxi Town. On the way, they encountered the obstruction of the river. The team members decisively went up the mountain to cut down trees. Build a bridge to move the affected people safely.
"There is no road, we are the road." Ya'an firefighters transferred the villagers of Yuejin Village, Shimian County, carrying a paralyzed old man in his 70s when they encountered a mountain road that was interrupted by the road. Several firefighters immediately lay on the mountain to form a passage of life.
"One more person!" "I'm going! I'm going!" In just a few seconds, they used their bodies to build a "human bridge", let their teammates step on their shoulders, and successfully transfer the old man.
In the face of disaster, only by uniting all forces that can be united can we gather a powerful force to overcome disaster.
After the earthquake, no matter whether you are in the disaster area or not, every Chinese son and daughter is concerned about the disaster situation and the affected compatriots, and supports the people in the disaster area with practical actions.
Li Rou's mother, a tourist from Taipei, was hit by an earthquake in the Hailuogou Scenic Spot near the earthquake area. Rescue workers overcame many dangers such as road breakage and falling rocks to help Li Rou and her daughter escape safely.
Li Rou was deeply infected by the spirit of the rescuers. After she escaped safely, she immediately volunteered and participated in rescue services such as distribution of supplies, logistical disinfection, and cleaning.
There are many pictures of fire and rescue workers saving lives in her mobile phone.
"These are the most precious memories of my trip to the mainland," she said.
The mortal shimmer, the spirit lasts forever.
Watching and helping each other, selfless love.
Wang Juan, a member of the Chinese Writers' Association in Sanmenxia, Henan Province, has been paying close attention to the people and events that emerged during the earthquake relief process.
She said that in this earthquake, what touched, illuminated and shocked our hearts was not only Luo Yong's "One life for hundreds of lives, I have to do it!" but also Xu Bohai, the duty chief of the Dagangshan Hydropower Station on the Dadu River. As long as I'm still here, I'll be able to answer the phone. If no one answers the phone, it means that the emergency command center and I are no longer there." And "post-90s" excavator Wang Ling and loader operator Tang Xin are building roads on the cliff Shi's youth vows "It's impossible not to be afraid, but the masters of art are bold."
"Moss flowers are as small as rice, and they also learn to bloom like peony. Every time they encounter disasters, there will always be a group of mortal heroes who will come forward. The ordinary, simple and dazzling beauty of human nature radiates from them. They are strong and tenacious and never give up. The strength of personality to give up, the warmth of the human world to watch and help each other in the same boat, let us be firm in good times and cheer up in adversity, let us feel: life is precious, human dignity, beautiful personality, and the world is worth it!" Wang Juan said.
