Xinhua News Agency reporter Wang Libin
At present, the cadres and masses in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Heiji and other provinces and cities are still fighting against the rainstorm and flood. Whether it is flood control and disaster relief, or post disaster reconstruction, under the strong organization of party committees and governments at all levels, the people are not afraid of difficulties and are willing to help each other, bursting with a strong sense of responsibility and ownership.
After the flash flood, county and township officials in Baoding City crossed mountains and reached the "isolated island" and together with the people of Tangjiazhuang Village, pulled a rope on the turbulent river surface. With the joint efforts of cadres and the masses, 48 year old villager Xu Shubao relied on this rope to carry more than 20 trapped villagers.
During the trapped period, a temporary party branch was established for train K1178, and one volunteer was recruited for each carriage to distribute supplies and comfort passengers. Some passengers urgently need commonly used medicines. The train broadcast issued a call, and passengers spontaneously handed over antihypertensive drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs, etc. to the train for centralized management, for everyone to use.
At around 22:00 on August 4th, some areas of the main urban area of Yanshou County, Heilongjiang Province were flooded. More than 50 retired soldiers rushed to the dangerous area, and after 25 hours of continuous rescue efforts, the leakage point was successfully blocked. Veteran Chen Yafei said, "Wherever there is a danger, there is our presence as veterans; wherever there is a need, we as veterans go."
The national spirit of perseverance and self-improvement, the true feelings of sailing together in times of adversity, and the heroic spirit of unity and solidarity, are the most precious spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation.
The Chinese nation has a simple sentiment called watching and helping each other. On the streets of Zhuozhou, where floodwaters flooded the highway, most of the vehicles were rescue teams traveling in the opposite direction. At the most critical moment of flood prevention and rescue, touching scenes show the unity of all: a Henan elder brother spent 4 hours making 13 pots of stewed noodles for citizens and rescue personnel, warming the stomach and heart; The rescue team worked tirelessly for 12 hours to search and rescue people trapped in the flood. Villagers vacated their children's wedding rooms and provided accommodation for the rescue team members; In Sidi Village, Kaiyuan Town, Shulan City, the villagers enthusiastically took out their own generators and volunteered to draw water for the disinfection and sterilization personnel, which greatly saved the time for water change and improved the efficiency of disinfection and sterilization... When a disaster strikes, the Chinese people will quickly gather together, and there will always be countless ordinary people who will step forward to take risks, never give up, help each other, like little glimmers of light gathering into a shining torch.
At present, we are in a period of mid summer. While continuing to do a good job in flood prevention and disaster relief, the affected areas have entered a critical stage of production recovery and post disaster reconstruction. From residential drainage and farmland drainage to road repair and maintenance, crop planting and replanting, from rural spatial planning to flood control engineering construction, it is necessary to listen to the voices of the people, gather their strength, and gather their wisdom.
The vast majority of the people are the masters of their own homes, the masters of their future, and the main force in rebuilding their homes. With the leadership and assistance of party committees and governments at all levels, they work hard and tirelessly to restore production and life. With their own hands, they will definitely be able to rebuild a beautiful home and restore green mountains and clear waters.
