Yang Yong, a heroic motor car driver, was once an excellent armed police soldier
"Three years of military career has imprinted in his bones the revolutionary soldier's mission of caring about the people and giving up his life, and it has also tempered his ability to deal with emergencies in the face of danger. Yang Yong is good!" June On the 6th, when talking about the heroic feat of D2809 driver Yang Yong, the squad leader Tian Jien said excitedly with tears in his eyes.
At 10:30 on June 4, when the D2809 train from Guiyang North to Guangzhou South was traveling into the Yuezhai Tunnel before the Rongjiang Station of the Guiguang Line entered the station, it hit a mudslide that suddenly slipped into the line, causing the train to slide. More than 900 meters off the line.
According to the analysis of on-board data, the driver Yang Yong found the line abnormal at the critical moment and took emergency braking measures within 5 seconds to ensure the safety of passengers on the entire train, but unfortunately he died.
Huang Qiang, chief expert at the China Academy of Railway Sciences, said the emergency measures taken by the dead driver Yang Yong were "quite timely".
On June 5, the motorcade that transported Yang Yong's body returned to his hometown of Zunyi, Guizhou. The local people and former comrades in arms pulled up banners with "Salute to Heroes and Comrades" and "Welcome to Heroes and Comrades Yang Yong" and spontaneously came to see them off.
In the WeChat group of retired veterans of the Armed Police Hainan Corps, the veterans were all mourned for the loss of a good comrade in arms, and praised his feat of calmly pressing the brakes at a critical moment and saving the lives of a car of passengers.
On June 6, the reporter came to the Second Squadron of the Haikou City Detachment of the Hainan Provincial Armed Police Corps where Yang Yong served before his death (now the sixth squadron of the Haikou Detachment of the Armed Police Hainan Corps) to explore the service experience of veteran Yang Yong.
"This soldier is very down-to-earth, and his tasks are always done well." Talking about his impression of Yang Yong, the then squadron captain Peng Linbo recalled that Yang Yong's character was introverted and unassuming, and he was steadfast in his work, and he was tiring when he encountered dirty work. He was always rushing to do the work.
Chen Zuojun, a comrade-in-arms who enlisted in the same year as Yang Yong, recalled that Yang Yong's military qualities were outstanding. Whenever military subjects were demonstrated, the squadron leaders would arrange him to play.
In 1995, Yang Yong participated in the driver training organized by his superiors and obtained the first motorcycle driver's license in his life.
As the driver of the patrol unit, Yang Yong participated in the urban armed patrol task undertaken by the squadron without landing, and successfully dealt with many emergencies.
In the second year of his enlistment, he joined the Communist Party of China with honor, and was named "Excellent Soldier" twice and awarded three times.
After retiring, Yang Yong was assigned to work in the Guiyang Locomotive Depot of the Railway. He persisted in self-study with a low education level, and successively obtained the qualification certificates for trucks, trains and motor trains.
He started as an ordinary railway worker, and successively served as acting deputy driver, foreman, train driver, guidance driver, ground driver and other positions. Step by step, he gradually grew into a highly skilled motor train driver.
Talking about this sudden incident, the old monitor Tian Jien couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes.
He said: "I was very saddened by the news of Yang Yong's death that night through my comrades in Guizhou, but his feat of leaving danger to himself and hope to others makes every veteran of the Hainan Armed Police Corps proud. And proud!"
When the news of veteran Yang Yong's death in the line of duty spread to the Hainan Armed Police Corps, the "Learn Heroic Deeds and Be a Red Descendant" campaign was widely carried out at all levels of the army, setting off an upsurge of learning the advanced deeds of veteran hero driver Yang Yong.
They paid tribute to the old monitor by watching news reports, organizing discussions and exchanges, and writing their experiences.
Zhang Siliang, the squadron leader of the sixth squadron of the Haikou Detachment of the Corps, said: "Old squad leader Yang Yong disregarded personal safety and protected the safety of people's lives and property. The guardian of the free trade port construction!"
