On a rainy night, he rescued six people from a flash flood

——Remember Liu Lixin from Lianhe Village, Yunshan Township

Liu Lixin, male, 43 years old this year, An ordinary farmer in the inner house group of Lianhe Village, Yunshan Township, Yueyang County.

In the early morning of June 10, thunder rumbled and it rained heavily in an instant. Qiao Jianguo and his wife, who were half asleep in the inner house group of Lianhe Village, Yunshan Township, felt something was wrong, so they got up. They did not expect that the water in the house was already up to their knees. He hurriedly called up his wife and ran out. When the two elderly people went outside the house, the swollen flash flood was almost waist-high. They could not move forward and could only shout "Help". The shrill cries for help were mixed with lightning and thunder. Liu Lixin, who had just gotten up to check on the rain, vaguely heard calls for help. His heart tightened, he grabbed a flashlight and rushed out. There was a vast ocean outside the house, and with lightning and the faint light of a flashlight, I could see Qiao Jianguo and his wife clinging to a tree thirty or forty meters away, calling for help. The floodwater had already passed the shoulders of the two old people. The torrential rain is pouring and the flash flood is still rising. Trees and boulders upstream are being carried away by the flood. The rapid flash flood is extremely dangerous. There is no time to delay in rescuing people. At this critical moment of life and death, Liu Lixin did not hesitate at all. He immediately went into the water to save people. As he staggered, he felt a stinging pain in the soles of his feet. He had no time to care and approached the two old men as quickly as possible. When he moved the two elderly people to a safe place twice, he was exhausted.

Putting down the two old men, he endured the pain of being stabbed in his foot to find a ladder and ran to Luo Qinxiang's house, another house surrounded by water and standing on the roof calling for help. Luo Qinxiang was obviously frightened by this unprecedented flash flood. She huddled in a corner of the roof and desperately called for help. Liu Lixin set up a ladder and helped Luo Qinxiang down, then relied on his tall body to carry her through chest-deep water and placed her in a safe area.

At this time, a house suddenly collapsed. The three members of Wang Wenbing's family in the house have not yet been transferred. This is a special family. The three members of the family at home are all disabled, including two elderly people. Liu Lixin became anxious and shouted: "Come and save people! Help!". People who heard the sound quickly rescued people under his command. When the three members of the Wang family were dug out of the house, Liu Lixin's hands were covered in blood. Cars could not come because the roads were washed away by flash floods. Ignoring his own wounds, he and others set up stretchers, took turns carrying the three injured people, and walked one to twenty miles to rescue them. Thanks to timely action, all three members of the Wang family were saved.

On the way to carry the injured to the rescue, I met Secretary Peng Guofu who was inspecting the disaster situation and directing the rescue in Yunshan. After listening to other people's introductions, Secretary Peng repeatedly said that Liu Lixin was great.

Personal rest is a small matter, but the safety of the masses is a big matter

This year is a year of drought and floods unprecedented in history. Due to the drought, crops were severely damaged. Later, from June 9 to 15, our area encountered the largest flash flood in history, which was fierce. Although I am responsible for picking up and dropping off more than a dozen primary school students from a central kindergarten and a central school, I have also considered the safety of a small second-sized reservoir in the village. Under the reservoir embankment are three larger village groups, housing more than 100 households, and they have encountered Such a flash flood may destroy the family at any time. I am a passionate young man who needs to make progress. At the same time, my mother is an old branch secretary for more than ten years, so I resolutely gave up my rest and volunteered to stay at the dam of the reservoir day and night. All night long, I reported the situation to the town liaison point leaders and village cadres at any time, so that our village did not suffer major losses and the people's lives and property were safe. The people unanimously praised me as a good young man, but I personally think that in any crisis period, personally Labor is a small matter, but the safety of the masses is a big matter.

Li Xiangqun, male, was born in 1978 in Dongshan Town, Qiongshan City, Hainan Province. After the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Li Xiangqun's family experienced changes from poverty to wealth. He never forgot to serve the country and pursue his lofty ideals. In December 1996, he abandoned business and joined the army.

In the army, Li Xiangqun continued to change some of the ideas of his "little boss" based on the army's requirements. When he first joined the army, he was reluctant to get a haircut, but under the education of his platoon leader, he understood the benefits. In addition, when he first joined the army, some of his buddies were so loyal that when they saw the company leader, they would first offer a cigarette instead of saluting. He dares to think and act, and is willing to put forward opinions. He once proposed democratic voting to elect the squad leader and let everyone have the final say. Regarding these, the company cadres always guide him gently and gently, so that he understands what is right and what is wrong.

The army encourages soldiers not to smoke or drink. Before joining the army, Li Xiangqun, a wealthy man, smoked two packs of cigarettes a day, so he quit smoking and lived a very frugal life. In order to make up for his lack of junior high school education, he studied hard, signed up for cram schools, made newspaper clippings, and was willing to use his brain to delve into knowledge. He used the knowledge he learned to invent many "dirty ideas" and improve the quality of training. In this way, Li Xiangqun grew from a young man in the special zone to a qualified soldier.

Li Xiangqun is an enthusiastic person. He recorded the family and personal circumstances of his comrades in detail in his notebook; on his comrades' birthdays, he would either hold a football match or hold a candlelight party to make them happy; when his comrades were sick, he would carry them to the health team on his back. Deliver food and water. He carried several children across the river to go to school for a long time, regardless of wind or rain, and helped advance the tuition fees for the children who were out of school.

Li Xiangqun is also attentive and considerate to his family. He has been in the army for 20 months and has only returned home once. He was afraid that his parents would miss him, so he used bullet casings to form the words "I miss my parents every day" and took a photo to send home; he loved Write poems and secretly write down your longing for home in the poems.

In 1998, there was a flood in the south. On August 7, Li Xiangqun ended his family leave early and went to Hubei with the army to participate in flood fighting and rescue operations. He worked very hard during the first rescue and was the person who carried the most bags in the entire battalion. In the face of danger, he ignored the danger and personally checked and plugged the seepage hole. On August 14, he gloriously joined the party on the Jingjiang Embankment. That night, he was too excited to sleep and wrote in his diary: In order to defeat the Flood, I am willing to sacrifice everything I have.

In the early morning of August 17, Li Xiangqun participated in the rescue. After fighting continuously for 14 hours, he began to feel dizzy and feverish, so he secretly took a few cold medicines without telling others. On the afternoon of the 17th, he passed out for the first time and had a fever of 40°C. He was forcibly sent to the health team. On August 19, danger appeared again. Li Xiangqun pulled out the needle and ran up the embankment. He had a severe headache, so he wrapped a band around his head to relieve the pain until he fainted for the second time.

On August 21, another landslide occurred. When Li Xiangqun saw the troops dispatching urgently, he evaded the health workers on duty, secretly took a truck from the Band of Brothers and rushed to the scene to transport sandbags, and passed out again. Then, he opened his eyes, struggled to get up, and joined the ranks of embankment builders. Finally, he vomited blood and fell to the ground.

On August 22, Li Xiangqun passed away due to extreme fatigue.
