During the Chongqing mountain fire rescue, she and a group of off-road motorcycle friends sent supplies to the front line, which was well known and praised by everyone.

At the end of December 2022, when interviewed by a reporter from the Beijing News, Wu Puhui had already opened a tofu shop with a motorcycle friend she met during the wildfire. Riding a motorcycle, opening a shop, and insisting on being herself is like a burned mountain forest trying to germinate , Wu Puhui's life has new hope.

  Butterfly in the wildfire

  The story begins with a red bow.

  It appeared at the Chongqing wildfire rescue scene at the end of August 2022.

In the video circulating on the Internet, a volunteer wearing a black helmet and riding a dirt bike, with two large boxes of supplies strapped to the back of the car, was riding up the hillside.

The person who took the video yelled, "Daughter fucked, girl."

  This section of the road is a newly opened isolation zone. Under the high temperature of nearly 40 ℃, the soil layer that has lost moisture is loose and scattered. The off-road vehicles drive by, crooked and dusty.

Khan stuck to the soil through his clothes, and his white short sleeves and black trousers were all dirty.

  Her long hair was tucked into a towel tied around her neck, but the big red bow on the black helmet made it easy to identify the driver as a girl.

  The owner of the bow is Wu Puhui, a Sichuan girl born in 1997. She is an off-road motorcycle enthusiast. During the Chongqing mountain fire rescue, she rode a motorcycle to deliver supplies for five days.

She was the only female driver among the all-male off-road drivers at the fire rescue scene.

  EIGHT YEARS ABOUT MOTOCROSS

  Wu Puhui has been playing motocross for eight years.

For eight years, her life was tied to motocross.

  A motocross bike is like an emergency exit pointing out into the free world.

Wu Puhui likes to ride a bike to sweat and release stress. She prefers to ride a bike to conquer one hurdle after another, one slope after another, and one mountain after another. "When you reach the top of the mountain, you can see the small cars and people below, what The troubles are gone."

  From 2018 to 2020, she has opened three motorcycle shops successively, but the revenue can only barely support her life. The life is very tight, and the shop is also unsustainable.

Her skills have improved significantly, but after the competition was suspended due to the epidemic, the stage for her to perform has also been reduced.

  From the beginning of 2022, Wu Puhui fell into doubts about sticking to this love.

  rewards of life

  Until this wildfire, Wu Puhui said, "It almost changed my life."

  This was a voluntary activity out of a sense of justice, and the attention and praise it brought uprooted her from the original state of negativity and self-doubt, and the trough period passed.

  At the end of August last year, Wu Puhui donated a helmet with a bow tie and a cross-country motorcycle to Chongqing Bishan Museum and Beibei District Museum respectively. She hoped that her rescue activity could set an example for riders who like cross-country motorcycles.

  In the next few months, she got a new hairpin with a bow in her hair. She accompanied her to participate in activities in Beijing, and went to the camp of Gansu Forest Fire Station in Chongqing to experience life. She served as a forest fire propaganda ambassador and appeared on CCTV The stage tells its own story.

  The wildfires were out and the motocross volunteers had done their job.

Some friendships in wildfires still continue.

  Chen Cheng, 23, is also one of the off-road motorcycle volunteers.

Now, he and Wu Puhui have opened a tofu shop in partnership.

  Chen Cheng is a member of the Blue Sky Rescue Team in Tongzi County, Zunyi City. He has experience in public welfare. After opening the tofu shop, the two of them discussed that when the business is on the right track, they will use part of the tofu shop's turnover to support the poor. left-behind children in the area.

  One month after the wildfire, Wu Puhui returned to Jinyun Mountain for an interview and filming event.

The high temperature is gone, the mountains and forests are empty and quiet after the rain, and the isolation belt has been trampled down by tens of thousands of people, and the off-road motorcycles can no longer splash smoke and dust on it.

  Wu Puhui couldn't help but sigh, "Every inch of land we walk on now is a battlefield we have fought on." She picked up torn towels, left volunteer armbands, and used fire extinguishers in the soil.

She seemed to still be able to see the anxiety, restlessness and tension of those few days.

  On the side of the isolation belt, the burnt woods were pitch black. She squatted underground to check, and saw tender new shoots sprouting from the roots of the burned bamboo bushes.

  Wu Puhui wrote on the social platform: The burned mountains and forests are trying to germinate, and even if life is full of ups and downs, try to face it.

  Fortunately, for so many years, she has persisted in what she loves and has been rewarded in life.

  Since entering the society, she has been used to presenting others with a boy's character and appearance, thinking that in this way she will not be bullied.

Over time, the pretense becomes part of the real self.

  But now she is happy to show her "girly" side.

She wore a cute, ebullient red bow barrette in her hair, glued it to her helmet, and continued to laugh and talk out loud.

  The bow became her "logo", and she called herself "Red Bow Rider".
