What happened to the father who carried his son's body for 25 kilometers during the Wenchuan earthquake?

As the saying goes? Father loves like a mountain? Father's love is like a mountain, which stands tall and protects you from the wind and rain. Where there is a father, there is a home. Home is always a safe haven. When you feel tired, you can always let go of the tired harbor. In the epicenter of 2008, some people sacrificed themselves to make everyone a little hero, including the husband who would rather sacrifice himself than save his wife's life, and the father who knew that his son had left but had to carry his son's body home.

Because an earthquake broke the peace at home.

On May 12, 2008, a devastating earthquake occurred in Wenchuan, Sichuan, which was the most serious casualty since the Tangshan earthquake. The severely damaged area of this earthquake is over 654.38+ 10,000 square kilometers, and the focal depth is 654.38+00-20 kilometers. The losses are enormous, with the number of casualties as high as 400,000 to 500,000, resulting in the breakup of millions of families.

Cheng Linxiang, an ordinary farmer, relies on odd jobs and planting some fields to maintain his family's economic resources. Cheng Linxiang's home is deep in the mountains. He usually rides an old bicycle to work in town. The mountain road is winding, and it takes an hour just to ride a bike. My wife is in poor health all the year round, working at home and planting some fields to maintain her expenses.

Sometimes when the town goes to the market, it will take its own vegetables and fruits to the market to supplement the family. Although the family is not rich, it is still very happy.

Cheng Linxiang has two sons, the youngest is Yong Cheng and the oldest is Cheng Lei. They are all smart and sensible, and they are all promising. Cheng Lei and Yong Cheng, because their home is in the mountains, the distance from school to school is very long every day, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, so they choose to live on campus, so they have more time to study. Although their family conditions are not particularly good, it is convenient to use money. As a father, Cheng Linxiang tried his best to give them the best.

The two sons failed to meet their father's expectations. They study very hard. Both of them are among the best in the class in every exam, and they are also good students in the teacher's mouth. They usually go home once a week, and it is very difficult to walk for two hours just on the mountain road. On May 12, the factory where Cheng Linxiang worked was blacked out for one day. He rested at home and didn't go to the construction site. The two children went to school as usual, but their eldest son, Cheng Lei, never came back.

The last dignity of being a father

Cheng Lei and Yong Cheng went to school in Yingxiu Town, and the earthquake came without any warning that day. At that time, Cheng Lei's high school was Xuankou Middle School in Yingxiu Town, and his younger brother Yong Cheng was in junior high school in Yingxiu Town. Unfortunately, the teaching building of Xuankou Middle School was razed to the ground at the moment of the earthquake.

The students had no time to escape, they were pinned down. Fortunately, my brother Yong Cheng's school was not very strong, and the school evacuated the students urgently, so my brother escaped.

Yong Xiang, who escaped, ran home like a lost soul. He ran while crying. When he got home, one of his shoes ran away. Father Cheng Linxiang quickly asked about the situation. It turned out that there was a big earthquake in the town. His own mountain was far away from the town and he didn't feel the big earthquake. At that time, my father hurriedly called Cheng Lei's class teacher, but the line was busy and no one answered.

Cheng Linxiang was confused at this time and didn't know what to do. Yong Cheng, the youngest son, comforted his father and escaped. My brother will be fine. Maybe he will come back later. Cheng Linxiang had no choice but to wait for his son to come back quietly at home. One hour, two hours, when it was dark, the eldest son had not come back.

He got up to find Cheng Lei and was stopped by his wife Cheng Linxiang. The wife said:? There must be aftershocks in the town now. If you go there now, you will die. We don't know if Cheng Lei is alive or dead, but I absolutely can't let you risk your life again. ?

Cheng Linxiang's heart melted at the thought of his wife and youngest son. After a night of ideological struggle, before dawn the next day, Cheng Linxiang finally couldn't sit still. No matter whether his son was dead or alive, he would bring his son back. I want to see my son's body even if I die, and I can't let him die outside. This is the last dignity of a father.

Take the son's body home.

Seeing Cheng Linxiang's resolute attitude, his wife followed him to the town. When they arrived at school, the husband and wife saw the ruins in front of them and suddenly collapsed to the ground. In fact, they already know the result in their hearts. I'm afraid my son will have bad luck this time. Nevertheless, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, Cheng Linxiang will never give up. He tried his best to dig out bricks with bloody hands. The husband and wife's son knelt on the ground and shouted his son's name while digging, and his tears were almost dry.

After two days and two nights of searching, Cheng Linxiang finally found his son under a concrete slab, and now Cheng Lei has no breath. Being in a closed space for too long and without water, Cheng Lei finally passed away at a young age. Cheng Linxiang dragged Cheng Lei's body out, wiped the dust off Cheng Lei's face and carried it on his back.

Cheng Linxiang said:? I know that Cheng Lei has left us, but I want to take his body home and let him walk with dignity. ? Later, Cheng Linxiang carried Cheng Lei's body and walked 25 kilometers to take him home. After returning home, Cheng Linxiang buried Cheng Lei's body in the mountains, which gave him a home, at least not wandering outside, and let Cheng Lei leave this world with dignity. Father's love is always so great and selfless

Later, the government allocated funds to build a mountain road. Cheng Linxiang was overjoyed to hear the news. Building mountain roads can make their travel much more convenient, so Cheng Linxiang is willing to join the ranks of building mountain roads and become a worker, which can be regarded as a contribution to the construction of his hometown. But what is even more gratifying is that Cheng Linxiang's wife is pregnant with a child. What are their names? Lei Lei? This is to commemorate the death of the eldest son, Cheng Lei. The arrival of a new life suddenly makes the originally lifeless home lively.

There are no virtuous fathers and brothers in life, no strict teachers and friends outside, and few people can succeed. The highest mountain is not Mount Everest, but my father loves it like a mountain. Fatherly love is always unknown. They are not as delicate as their mothers, and they know how to communicate with you with good words. Fatherly love is always so bad at expressing, but it is expressed in some subtle places. Father's love is wholehearted and silent, melting his whole body and mind, sheltering you from the wind and rain, and making you thrive in a clear sky without rain.
