A collection of touching stories about the Sichuan earthquake

Fireman’s Diary: I cried the moment I took out the child

I experienced the most unforgettable day in my life. For a whole day, like the soldiers, I did not feel the fatigue of hiking in the mountains at all. I only felt the tremor of my heart and the tears that came out involuntarily. The seven hours after entering Beichuan County passed in the blink of an eye. I saw the fragility and helplessness of people in the face of natural disasters, the tenacity and persistence of people driven by love and faith, and the most selfless and fearless dedication of the soldiers.

3-hour walk to Beichuan

The first batch of Jiangsu fire rescue teams I followed arrived at Mianyang, a city in northern Sichuan, at 1:20 a.m. yesterday. We learned that they were going to Beichuan County. There, it was one of the counties hardest hit by the earthquake. -

The fire officers and soldiers of the rescue team decided to walk into Beichuan County. We walked for three hours on the 5-kilometer mountain road. At one o'clock in the afternoon, we came to a toll station, which is the entrance to Beichuan County. Rescue workers set up several tents to treat the wounded, transfer people, and also provide services to the rescue workers

Nanjing Fire Detachment Special Service Brigade The fire fighters were divided into several teams. After entering the county, they quickly dispersed and took action separately. The 20 medical staff from the rescue team also immediately entered the temporary medical point to start work.

The small county town is full of rubble

The team I followed has 20 fire officers and soldiers. As they marched along, I took a closer look at the city in front of me - it was almost razed to the ground and full of rubble.

The team had not gone far when a fellow villager rushed over and almost shouted: "There is a kindergarten collapsed there, and there are still children alive inside!" The team commander decided to go to the rescue immediately. The fellow villager was eager to save people and took us to bypass the main road and take a small road straight to the scene.

When passing a reservoir, the rescue team members just walked up and suddenly heard someone shouting in the distance: "Stop, get back!" Following the voice, they looked over and saw several people also wearing rescue uniforms. Waving his hands and shouting: "There are cracks in the reservoir dam, it's dangerous!"

The commander decided to retreat immediately, which disappointed the fellow who led the way: "Save my baby, my grandson is inside. !" He patted the bag he was carrying, "It's full of water, go rescue them!" The commander decided to take the risk and said, "It's important, the children!" The fire fighters walked quietly and finally passed this section safely. road.

The kindergarten is located in Jinluo Lane, which is a large area of ??ruins. The three buildings are tilted severely at three angles, but they all point to the location of the kindergarten.

Children, don’t cry, you will be out soon

When the soldiers approached, they found several children lying under the rubble, all of whom were five or six years old, and some were crushed. Their arms were pinned down, and some had their legs pinned down. A girl who was half lying down could still speak. She was crying: "Dad, why haven't you come to save me?"

The fire fighters stepped forward to comfort her: "Don't cry, you will be out soon." "The girl stopped crying, and the other children also stopped struggling and looked at the busy strange uncles. The soldiers immediately started cutting with manual breakers and digging out the stones with their hands to avoid the children. They were injured again because of the rescue. During the rescue operation, there were three clearly felt aftershocks. During the last aftershock, bricks fell from time to time on the tilted building. None of the soldiers stopped what they were doing. Apart from the occasional commands from the commander, there was only the roar of the demolition device.

"Okay, okay, be gentler, slower!" At 4:45 pm, the first child was carefully lifted out by the fire fighters. She was a girl. After watching her body completely leave the ground, the soldiers burst into tears. My nose became sore and tears flowed out unconsciously. Words cannot describe how I felt at that time

The passage was opened and my work became much easier. At 5:02, 5:29, and 5:35, three more children were rescued one after another, two girls and one boy. . After the team's doctors rescued them on site, they were immediately transported to a medical point for emergency treatment.

Call for help under the ruins

The fire fighters came to a huge ruins again. The fellow said that this place turned out to be a row of facade houses, and there were still people alive inside. The soldiers approached a small cave and shouted inside: "Is there anyone there?" *

"Yes! Help us!"

The soldiers did not dare to enter because they did not know the ruins. What is the structure below? I am afraid that cutting it hastily will cause it to collapse. The soldiers slowly expanded the small hole with their hands, and then used washbasins to transport away the debris.

The soldiers dug out a hole that could accommodate one person, got into the rubble, and found a van underneath. , supporting the fallen wall. It was confirmed that at least two people were still alive under the rubble.

"Who has water?" A soldier shouted back. Only then did the soldiers realize that there was only a little orange juice left in their hands, and I only had half a bottle of mineral water. The soldiers took the water and handed it to the buried people.

"Close your eyes and don't open them." The military doctor accompanying the team shouted inside. He handed over several masks and asked the buried people to cover their eyes to avoid strong light stimulation. The situation at the scene was too complicated and the rescue progress was slow.

As of 8 p.m., the people inside had not been rescued. The soldiers are still working hard.

The SWAT police were helpless when the children asked for help and walked out of the playground crying loudly

As soon as the footsteps of the rescuers stopped in front of the ruins, the voices of more than 10 children came out: "Uncle, Save me..." Immediately afterwards, there was a cry. Such screams and cries are always heard from the ruins of Beichuan County middle school, kindergarten, and Qushan Primary School, and they always tug at people's hearts. Yesterday, we walked 22 kilometers into Beichuan County, Mianyang City. We have been blaming ourselves for our weak strength and weeping for the children's heart-wrenching cries for help...

Children's screams came from the ruins. A cry for help

The two 3-story teaching buildings of Qushan Primary School are close to the mountain behind them. After the earthquake, the falling rocks crushed the buildings into two floors, and the first floor sank directly into the ground. . Among them, the roof of another building was uncovered and leaning diagonally in front of the building.

In the ruins, there is a young body of a child, pressed in the deformed cement and steel bars; under the ruins, a child's cry for help is faintly heard... He gets into the deformed building and follows the sound from some Looking through the gap, I saw a child sitting with his upper body upright in the rubble because his legs were pressed down, and a child was leaning next to his dead classmate...

After the earthquake occurred at 2:28 pm on the 12th, , these children have remained in this posture for a full 48 hours as of 3 pm yesterday. The children have been relying on the water sent by their parents to survive until now.

When the earthquake hit Zhang Li, a student in Class 1, Grade 5, several classmates around him were all hit by falling steel bars and cement blocks.

When he woke up, he found that his right thigh was firmly stuck. The three classmates lying next to him were no longer breathing, and the body of one classmate had been lying on his thigh.

In a ruins only 3 meters away from Zhang Lizheng, a child's lower body was firmly stuck. As soon as he heard someone talking on the ground, he stretched out a small hand and shouted: "Uncle, help. I..."

Li Yue, from Class 3, Grade 5, also had her right leg stuck, so she had to sit in the ruins of the building on the right, with the bodies of three classmates lying next to her. People When they went to deliver water or find a way to rescue her, the little girl said: "Leave me alone, save the classmates below first!"

In the space of less than 50 centimeters under the ruins, the voices of more than 10 children were heard. Cries for help and requests for water.

The SWAT is powerless

(cry loudly_

In the past two days, these children trapped under the rubble have seen many rescuers, except their parents. , local villagers, and rescue workers, we also saw special police from Tianjin. 200 special police officers rushed to the scene at 6 pm on the 13th. As of 2 pm yesterday, they had successfully rescued the people trapped in Beichuan. More than 400 people were trapped in the county town, Jingjia Village, Kuzhuba Reservoir, power station and other places. However, the special police were unable to rescue them because they only had shovels and steel drills.

The children who were asking for help in the ruins were helpless. They did not dare to pry open the floor slabs for fear that the whole building would collapse; they did not dare to use rough methods to rescue them. The special police officers were helpless. They cried when comforting the children and raised their voices when they walked out of the playground. Crying loudly.

Villagers cried "

"I want to die with my children"

Nine people, including Yu Yunxian, He Jiaxing, and Zhu Yunneng, are all from villages near the county seat. From the first day they learned about the earthquake, the survivors were running around the county. In addition to looking for their children and relatives, they also actively carried out self-rescue.

Also from the first day, They found this group of primary school students trapped in the rubble. They contacted the militia and the first rescue officers and soldiers who rushed to the scene. However, their hopes again and again brought them disappointment again and again. When they saw the special police officers leaving with tears in their eyes again, they could no longer control themselves. They found steel drills, jacks and other tools, and cried in front of the ruins: "We will die with these children!" After some efforts, , they had to give up.

Wang Chuan, who came from Chongqing to Beichuan, originally came to look for his wife who was working here, but was surprised to learn that his wife had returned home safely. But seeing this tragedy. After the scene, Wang Chuan thought: "Since everyone is here, let's do something to help." So, among the people who came to the rescue, there was one more person who offered a helping hand in time. He looked for him from the already empty hardware store. Come Jack, a man came to Qushan Primary School to rescue. Until yesterday afternoon, when another group of special police from Chongqing arrived, Wang Chuan was still busy beside the trapped student Li Yue.

Peng Jun, who was looking for the child, refused to allow his 11-year-old son, so he walked around the ruins every day, sometimes using a shovel and sometimes a jack to support him. However, the chance of success was always zero.

The team lamented the lack of large-scale equipment

At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, a group of fire fighters from Shaanxi entered Beichuan County and were taken directly to Qushan Primary School by the villagers.

Wearing red to rescue. Firefighters in uniforms carried chainsaws, demolition pliers and other equipment and tried hard to rescue the victims in front of the ruins, but they were still unable to do anything. After inspecting the scene, an expert believed that large-scale machinery and equipment were needed to first remove the damaged areas. Only after the ruined buildings were uncovered layer by layer could the trapped children be successfully rescued. However, due to the continued aftershocks yesterday, all roads entering the county have been blocked by large rocks and sand, and the bridge in front of the county no longer exists. Vehicles carrying large machinery and equipment cannot drive to the front of the school at all.

When we left the scene at 5 pm, this group of fire officers and soldiers were still trying to figure out a solution in front of the ruins. “Children must not be allowed to be suppressed like this.

"On the road out of the county, several Shaanxi rescue team members wearing "Xianyang Firefighting" on their heads were carrying a large chainsaw to the school.

The encouragement from her classmates under the rubble helped her survive 4 hours

According to West China Metropolis Daily yesterday morning, the first grader of Dujiangyan Xiang'e Middle School Student Xiaoxue (pseudonym) was lying on the bed in the Provincial Hospital. Although her body was covered with bandages, she ignored the pain and called her deskmate Xiaoya (pseudonym) by name from time to time.

Yesterday morning, Xiaoxue was undergoing treatment. Rescue. The doctor said that her hands were broken and her head was seriously injured. Although her whole body was covered with bandages, Xiaoxue still missed Xiaoya. "Xiaoxue said that at 2:30 pm the day before yesterday, the roof of the classroom suddenly shook. Just when everyone was about to escape, the entire teaching building collapsed, and she couldn't see anything after that.

At this moment, she heard Xiaoya’s call. It turned out that Xiaoya was right next to her. "Xiaoya, I'm here!" Xiaoxue quickly greeted Xiaoya. Xiaoya heard the call, and immediately stretched out her hand, and the four little hands were tightly held together...

Xiaoya was hit on the head by a prefabricated board and was seriously injured, but she still promised Xiaoxue Never give up the chance of survival, and must accompany Xiaoxue until rescue. Two hours later, Xiaoxue heard some noises outside, and she immediately realized that "rescue soldiers" had arrived. But Xiaoya's grip on Xiaoxue gradually loosened. "Xiaoya, you promised not to make a mistake!" Xiaoxue yelled at Xiaoya. Despite this, Xiaoya's voice became weaker and weaker...

More than 3 hours passed, and Xiaoxue found that Xiaoya had no response. Xiaoxue called Xiaoya hard, but Xiaoya still didn't move.

At around 7 p.m., rescuers finally dug Xiaoxue and Xiaoya out of the rubble. But Xiaoya has been dead for a long time.
