In July, I was fortunate to participate in the off-site training in Wenchuan, Sichuan organized by the company's Youth League Committee - visiting the Yingxiu Town Earthquake Site. It took about an hour and a half to drive from Chengdu to Yingxiu, Wenchuan, Aba Prefecture, and soon arrived at Yingxiu Town. In Yingxiu Town, surrounded by mountains, a group of brand-new small western-style buildings immediately brightened the eyes. Such a beautiful town was the epicenter of the 5.12 Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008. The earthquake that year razed the town to the ground.

After getting off the bus, we transferred to the scenic spot unified sightseeing bus and went to the "5.12" Wenchuan Earthquake Victims Cemetery and Exhibition Hall. We walked all the way along the stone steps. On the stone walls beside the road, we often saw touching and exciting slogans such as "Sichuan rises", "United as one", "Go forward bravely", "Say goodbye to the pain and start over". When we arrived at the cemetery, we bowed solemnly three times, presented flowers, and prayed silently in our hearts: The dead rest in peace, the living are strong; live well, living is the greatest wealth, and living is the greatest happiness.

Then, we visited the exhibition hall, which has nine parts: the Flowing Water Court, the Preface Hall, the Memorial Hall, the Memorial Hall, the Disaster Hall, the Rise Court, the Reconstruction Hall, the Discipline Inspection and Integrity Section and the Enlightenment Hall. composition. Through text, pictures, video materials, multimedia, dynamic screens and other artistic techniques and scenes, the exhibition hall completely presents the earthquake relief and post-disaster reconstruction process, the great love and assistance from all walks of life, and the great spirit of the people in the disaster area who are constantly striving for self-improvement, grateful and forging ahead. The whole process of viewing the exhibition was very emotional. I couldn’t stop crying when looking at those pictures and video materials from that time. If you haven’t seen it in person, you may never feel that kind of emotion. Especially when we entered the earthquake experience area, as soon as we entered, we felt as if we were immersed in the earthquake experience area. One minute it was the beautiful and peaceful Yingxiu town. Suddenly, with a loud noise, the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked, and the mountains and rivers stopped flowing. , mountains were filled with flying rocks, homes were destroyed, lives were lost, cars on the road fell into rivers, cliffs, and cracks in the ground... I couldn't breathe under the pressure. I deeply realized how insignificant people are in the earthquake. The children in the earthquake were so helpless. I seemed to hear their frightened and helpless cries. They were at the age when flowers were blooming and needed care, but they were faced with the moment of life and death when the earthquake struck. As a new mother, I can't express how I feel. In just 1 minute and 22 seconds, everything was in ruins. People were so helpless in the face of disaster. When I walked out of the experience area, I hugged the people around me without hesitation. Life is so good. Cherish the people in front of you and live every day seriously.

While I was still immersed in the pain just now, I unknowingly came to Yingxiu Xuankou Middle School, which is a rare earthquake site that is still preserved in Yingxiu. We walked along the path to visit Xuankou Middle School. The main teaching building of Yingxiu Middle School collapsed on the ground and looked so weak. To this day, more than a dozen compatriots are buried underneath. In front of the building is a large stone clock. The time is forever fixed at 2:28 pm on May 12, 2008. This was an earth-shattering moment, and it was also a moment that shocked the whole world. To the left of the stone bell is a five-story teaching building. Only the fourth floor can be seen, and the first floor has completely sunk underground. In front of the left is the high school dormitory for boys and girls. The entire five-story building has collapsed and sunk underground. The commentator introduced It is said that there are still two mothers and daughters inside who have just come to visit relatives. The daughter is still a pregnant woman who is only a few months pregnant and is buried underneath. In front of the right side of the stone bell is a stone tablet, which is engraved with the following words: After the earthquake, the people of the country were united and united to win a major victory in earthquake relief.

After visiting the earthquake site with a heavy heart, I witnessed with my own eyes the beautiful show of post-disaster reconstruction. I think that major earthquakes not only bring disaster to mankind, but also serve as a warning to mankind that we should take practical actions to protect the environment. Cherish life and live every day seriously. Thoughts after visiting the Wenchuan Earthquake Site (2)

When I first asked to go to Wenchuan, I refused. The long journey is a very scary thing for someone like me who suffers from motion sickness. But with everyone's encouragement, I came to the epicenter of the 5.12 earthquake - Yingxiu Town, Wenchuan County.

Although I knew about the scene of the earthquake and the earthquake relief stories through TV. But when I walked into the Wenchuan Epicenter Memorial Hall, I was still deeply shocked by the words, pictures, models and items left behind after the earthquake. Those schoolbags and toys are lying quietly in the exhibition hall. Behind each item there is an owner and a story, which impacts our tear ducts bit by bit.

But after the sadness, I was even more moved by the spirit of people’s unity and unity in the face of a catastrophic disaster. What impressed me most was the “chicken feather letter” displayed on the wall in the museum. "Yes. The Ji Mao Xin seems far away from us, but at that critical moment when transportation, communications, and electricity are all interrupted, and there are tens of thousands of people waiting for rescue, the method of officers and soldiers walking from the earthquake area to convey disaster information can still play a role.

Those dozens of "chicken-feather letters" did not contain any red tape. They all used the simplest and clearest words to reflect the number of casualties, the disaster situation and the needed items. The scrawled handwriting indicates that time is urgent; the wrinkled paper indicates that the journey is far away. Behind this chicken letter, there are countless post-disaster people and people who care about them. The chicken-feather letter, which played a huge role during the Anti-Japanese War, can still play a role today more than 70 years later. This physical method of transmitting information appears to work at all times.

This journey gave me a profound spiritual baptism and made me appreciate and appreciate things better. Thoughts after visiting the Wenchuan Earthquake Site (3)

On July 27, 2015, the weather in Wenchuan Yingxiu was very good, but a little hot. Along with 6 company colleagues, we took a bus from Chengdu to the Wenchuan Earthquake Museum , the master told us in the car when we went there, asking us to adjust our emotions. After all, the earthquake in 2008 was an indelible trauma in the hearts of every Chinese. In the car, I was thinking about the pictures of the Wenchuan earthquake that I had seen through the Internet and TV. I still remember that the latest information about the earthquake was broadcast 24 hours a day on TV. At that time, many people were crying while watching the news. Now I think When I wake up, I always feel as if it was yesterday, vividly in my mind.

When we arrived at the Wenchuan Earthquake Museum, it was only after 9 o'clock. We passed by Yingxiu New County and saw the locals' faces filled with comfortable smiles. The houses are beautifully built, the environment is beautiful, and there are many tourists. Everywhere is permeated with the atmosphere of happiness and joy. At that time, I just felt relieved. The people in Wenchuan have come out of those pains. It’s great!

We first visited the Wenchuan Earthquake Museum. When we walked into the museum, we were all extremely silent as the sad background music played. The first scene I saw made me heartbroken: it was a big clock, and the hands on it were always fixed on: May 12, 2008. 14:28. I only knew that my heart was clenching so tightly at that moment that I could hardly breathe.

So many scenes in the museum are touching, including volunteers, soldiers, doctors... full of passion and love left behind. Every item left behind from that time makes me sad and distressed. The news of the time, music of the time, and poems written by writers and poets are also displayed in the museum. Every sentence is so sad, but also so touching. This is the power of love!

The museum exhibits how Wenchuan rebuilt its homeland with everyone working together. The beauty of Wenchuan today is inseparable from the help of the party and the country, as well as caring people around the world, so you can see slogans of gratitude in any corner of Wenchuan. This is the simplest kind of gratitude from the people of Wenchuan! When I walked out of the museum, I was transported back to 2008 through time and space. Looking at the blue sky outside, I felt it was particularly beautiful.

When you arrive in Yingxiu, Wenchuan, you must visit the earthquake ruins, just like when you arrive in Beijing, you must visit the Great Wall. Maybe it was because I had already had an emotional breakdown when I was in the museum before, but when I arrived at the earthquake site that was about ten minutes’ walk away - the Wenchuan Xuankou Middle School Earthquake Site. Time and space have been condensed here, forever presenting the scene that occurred during the earthquake, allowing people to remember and pay homage to the lost lives. Like the small yellow chrysanthemums beside the ruins, they silently express grief year after year.

Xuankou Middle School is a provincial key middle school in Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It was originally located in Xuankou Town and was moved to Yingxiu Town in 2006 with a total investment of 65 million yuan. When the "5.12" earthquake occurred in 2008, there were 1,527 students and 133 teachers. Among them, 45 students, 8 teachers, and 2 employees died in the earthquake. All the school buildings of Xuankou Middle School sank and collapsed in the "5.12" Wenchuan earthquake. Before the earthquake, the buildings in front of us were 5 stories. After the earthquake, there were only 3 floors left in the 5 floors. The 3rd floor became the 1st floor. The original The first and second floors were reduced to debris. Xuankou Middle School was seriously damaged. During the post-disaster reconstruction, in order to remember and preserve this history, the ruins of Xuankou Middle School were preserved intact as a relic. It is the only large-scale relic that was relatively completely preserved during the "5.12" Wenchuan earthquake.

Perhaps, if there had not been such an earthquake, those children who were reading, taking a nap, and playing would have been living happily now. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned! ! I noticed that every visitor walked lightly and looked solemn. No one laughed or spoke loudly, which might disturb the sleepers underground.

I rarely take photos when I travel, but this time I took a lot of photos. Some history cannot be forgotten, right? On Yingxiu's way back to Chengdu, I felt that my previous friend was right: visiting the Wenchuan earthquake site will give everyone a spiritual baptism. I think I have not only baptized my soul, but also cherished everything I have now and loved life. There is also touching, because life does not need to be great, it only needs to be touched and cherished.
