Lang is another aspiring young man who has devoted himself to the drifting exploration of the Yangtze River and Yellow River after Yao Maoshu. He is diligent in learning and thinking. He not only has the character of young people who dare to think and explore, but also has the sentiment of optimism, perseverance, calmness and generosity.
Following the death of Yao Maoshu, a brave man who drifted alone on the Yangtze River in July 1985, American explorer Warren also wanted to explore and observe the Yangtze River in China. Lang Baoluo wrote in blood: "Yao Maoshu is lying on the Pentium Tongtian River. What should we do? " In a word: "A wave is higher than a wave". Americans can think of drifting in the Yangtze River, but why didn't China think of drifting in the Mississippi River? He shouted "People should have a little dedication". He keeps his promise. Soon, he was alone, carrying a dry food bag and embarking on a journey to Chengdu and Chongqing, asking the relevant departments about the hydrological data of the Yangtze River. In order to save money, he often stays in the office or stays in the waiting room of the dock and station for the night. He honed his will with all kinds of hardships.
Paul not only goes with the flow, but also competes with Americans. One day in July, Yeba capsized, and two comrades-in-arms Yang Hongmei and Zhang Jun from the ancient city of Luoyang were killed. He endured the pain of losing his comrades-in-arms, overcame all kinds of difficulties such as wrecked ship, lost equipment and serious shortage of oxygen supply, was optimistic and calm, actively made all preparations for continuing drifting, and was determined to reach Wusongkou before the Americans. He escaped from death by a hair's breadth. On the afternoon of July 22nd, he and his companion Sun set sail. After the ship entered the Tiger Leaping Gorge, it was like an arrow leaving the string. A few minutes later, it was thrown into the diving. The ship broke down and it was dark. He was about to help his comrades who called for help when a huge wave pushed him away. Three hours later, Paul climbed up the river beach covered in scars. After four days and four nights of searching by the PLA helicopter rescue team, he finally found Paul, but Comrade Sun never came back. After being rescued, Ron Paul was extremely weak and bruised all over, but when he arrived in Batang, he heard the news that American colleague Warren decided to stop drifting. Warren also asserted that "no matter who is on this river, courage, perseverance and technology alone are not enough." Paul suddenly perked up and said firmly, "We will succeed in China. We have to carry the team flag to Wusongkou when we encounter thousands of difficulties and dangers, otherwise we can't go to see the elders in Jiangdong. " Their purpose was finally achieved, and the red flag of the drifting expedition was inserted in Wusongkou.
Paul is a man of words and deeds. The following spring, he decided to drift on the Yellow River. It's not easy. Americans' Yangtze River rafting plan costs 2 million dollars, and Paul and others only got strong support from Shanghai Rubber No.4 Factory and Shanghai Down Clothing Factory through the efforts of their old friends who actively supported rafting. Just when people read the news of the Yellow River drifting in the newspaper, the news of their disappearance and death came from Hupo of the Yellow River.
Drifting exploration is a historic March for the Chinese nation to strive for self-improvement and build a forest of nations in the world. Long Baoluo's life is short, but it is heroic. His spirit of being brave in exploration and not afraid of sacrifice will arouse the enthusiastic young people in Qian Qian. Real soldiers have no tragedies. Forgetting him is the real tragedy.
