In the early morning of July 28, 1976, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck Tangshan, Hebei, and the century-old industrial city was instantly razed to the ground.
On July 28, 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Tangshan for inspection and emphasized that although the great earthquake 40 years ago destroyed a city, it did not destroy the strong will of the people of Tangshan and the military and civilians of the whole country.
With the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee and the support and help of the broad masses of soldiers and civilians across the country, the people of Tangshan have devoted themselves to the earthquake relief and post-disaster recovery and reconstruction with a tenacious and hard-working spirit. They have written a magnificent poem in the history of the struggle of the Chinese nation. , Perseverance and courageous anti-earthquake spirit.
The green hills are verdant and the Minjiang river is rushing.
In the southwest corner of Yingxiu Town, Wenchuan, Sichuan, the earthquake site of Xuankou Middle School is quiet and solemn. The hour and minute hands on the memorial dial will always be fixed at 14:28 on May 12, 2008.
The Wenchuan Earthquake in Sichuan was an extremely tragic earthquake disaster in the history of earthquakes in China and the world, and caused heavy losses to the lives and property of the people.
The massive earthquake shifted mountains and rivers and changed the course of rivers, but it could not shake the spiritual coordinates of the Chinese nation.
△On May 15, 2008, rescuers rescued the trapped people in Wenchuan County.
At the moment of life and death, the teachers guarded the students with flesh and blood; aftershocks struck again, the fire fighters who were forced to evacuate knelt and cried, "I beg you, let me save one more"... In the face of the sudden disaster, countless PLA soldiers and firefighters Team members, medical staff and volunteers from all over the country rushed to the disaster area all the way, and some even gave their precious lives.
In the face of the disaster, the strong and unyielding people burst out with a cry of "Come on Wenchuan, and China"...
"I believe there is no hurdle that can't be passed!" After the earthquake, Yang Yungang and his wife ran a "fraternity" restaurant, and when there were many tourists, they "earned more than 20,000 yuan a day."
Before the Spring Festival in 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Wenchuan County to visit and sympathize with the local people.
In front of Yang Yungang's restaurant, Xi Jinping fries crispy pork and grinding bean curd with everyone, and says with a smile: "I'm very good at arm strength, it's really getting more and more exciting."
Inspired and inspired by the spirit of earthquake relief, the people of Wenchuan are persevering and moving forward. Everyone's life is like this grinding beancurd. The more you pass it, the more energetic you go, and the happier you pass it.

"Fighting against natural disasters is an eternal topic for human survival and development." Xi Jinping pointed out that it is necessary to adhere to the principle of "prevention first, combining prevention and rescue", establish and improve various prevention and management systems, and comprehensively improve comprehensive disaster prevention capabilities.
In April 2018, the Emergency Management Department was established. By 2019, an emergency management organization system with Chinese characteristics in the new era has been initially formed.
As of May 2020, my country's geological disaster weather forecasting and early warning has covered 30 provinces and 1,660 counties across the country, and has gradually formed a unique geological disaster prevention and mitigation system model.
The Chinese people who have come from disasters are more aware of self-improvement, watching and helping each other, and more respect for nature and science.
It's hard to rejuvenate a country and make a strong country through hard work.
Looking back, we have experienced many natural disasters, but the Chinese people have never flinched.
As General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "The Chinese nation has experienced many hardships in history, but it has never been crushed. Instead, it has become more frustrated and courageous. It has continued to grow and rise from hardships."
By vigorously promoting the spirit of earthquake relief and overcoming the difficulties and obstacles on the road ahead, we will be able to create achievements worthy of the times, history, and people, and realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
