Shu Lan Sacrifices Executive Vice Mayor's Record of Over Ten Pages of Flood Control Notes Drawer Stacked with Painkillers Flooding | Luo Xudong | Note Drawer
Four public officials, including Luo Xudong, member of the Standing Committee of the Shulan Municipal Party Committee and Executive Vice Mayor of Jilin Province, sacrificed their lives and lost contact during the flood control and rescue process. On August 9th, the reporter interviewed the lucky driver who survived and recounted the entire process of the accident.
34 year old Wang Bingkai still has scratches on his left arm. Six days have passed since the incident, and Wang Bingkai's voice still dare not speak loudly.
The time goes back to 9:30 pm on August 3rd. Wang Bingkai drove to the downstairs of the Shulan Municipal Government and waited for Luo Xudong, a member of the Standing Committee of the Shulan Municipal Committee and Executive Vice Mayor, as well as Ni Feng, a senior engineer at the Jilin Water Resources and Hydropower Planning Institute, and Zhang Zhizhao, the head of the Comprehensive Second Department of the Shulan Municipal People's Government Office, who was about to go downstairs.
At that time, Shulan City was experiencing heavy rainfall, with the Yongsheng Forest Farm in the center of heavy rainfall receiving 489.0 millimeters of rainfall, which was 4.72 times the historical maximum of 103.6 millimeters. In addition, 9 stations received 2-4 times the historical maximum rainfall.
Wang Bingkai recalled that it had been raining all along at that time, and their planned route for travel was: passing through Kaiyuan Town, Yongsheng Forest Farm, Xinkai Village, Wudi Village, Liudi Village, Qidi Village until reaching Qingsong Forest Farm. "Because the Qingsong Forest Farm is the most serious."
The Qingsong Forest Farm mentioned by Wang Bingkai was the last isolated island that was finally cleared up in the Shulan disaster. Along the way, Luo Xudong kept making and answering phone calls. "Every time we go, we will inquire about the flood prevention situation."
When the car arrived at Xinkai Village in Kaiyuan Town, a flood suddenly rushed towards it like a black wall, causing the car to float. Wang Bingkai quickly stopped the car, and a few people urgently opened the windows and climbed to the roof to avoid the water.
They believe that the height of the car, combined with the height of a few people, is enough to survive. But the water surged rapidly, and a few minutes later, the flood submerged the roof of the car. Several people were soaked in water. Subsequently, a large wave dispersed several people.
Wang Bingkai recalled drifting several kilometers with the flood before finally reaching Daxing Village and climbing up to the roof along the height of the flood. After waiting for 7 hours, he was finally rescued.
On the afternoon of the 9th, a notebook was placed on the left side of Luo Xudong's office desk, with glasses and some materials placed next to it. Open the left drawer and there are several boxes of painkillers piled inside. The medicine box is open, only a few pills are left.
In Luo Xudong's notebook, there are more than ten pages recording the content of flood control. The last page of the notebook is marked with: Qili Township, Kaiyuan Town, Bali Village, Model Village... Among them, Kaiyuan Town is highlighted. From the heavy rainfall on August 1st to the sacrifice on the evening of August 3rd, Luo Xudong's notes are filled with "flood prevention content".
At present, Shulan City has gradually resumed production and life, and the recent disaster relief and reconstruction have brought vitality to this homeland once again.
