Guangzhou, 20 Jan (Xinhua) -- After the Tonga volcano erupted again on January 15, Zhu Jianxiong, a Guangzhou man in Tonga, once lost contact after transferring money to his wife weChat in China, which touched the hearts of netizens. On the 17th, the Chinese Embassy in Tonga contacted Zhu Jianxiong's wife to confirm that her husband was safe and sound. On the evening of the 19th, his wife Li Manni (pseudonym) finally waited for Mr. Zhu's own safe call.

Looking back on the experience of the past few days, Li Manni sighed that with the motherland as the backing, the heart is safe.

I have not returned home after doing business in Tonga for two years

Mannie Lee and Jianxiong Chu met in 2007. Li Manni is an orphan, Zhu Jianxiong comes from a divorced family, and the two love each other after knowing each other.

Li Manni introduced that Zhu Jianxiong is mainly engaged in the business of selling Chinese products in Tonga. In November 2019, Zhu Jianxiong went to Tonga to deal with business, and originally planned to return to China in January 2020 to celebrate the New Year together. Unexpectedly, he changed his ticket from March to April and from April to June.

"After the large-scale outbreak of the epidemic in the world, Tonga was basically closed, people outside could not enter, people inside could not come out, my husband has not returned to China for more than two years." Lee Manny said.

Because of the obstruction of transportation, Zhu Jianxiong's original business could not continue to be done. He switched careers and earned living expenses by repairing computers and mobile phones to local Chinese.

Li Manni said that although China and Tonga are jet lag, whenever she sends a message, her husband will quickly reply.

The last message before the disappearance and The WeChat transfer

During New Year's Day, Zhu Jianxiong sent three videos to Li Manni showing three small volcanoes erupting in the area. Li Manni couldn't help but get worried, reminding her husband of the earthquake and tsunami.

On January 15, Li Manni suddenly received a message from her husband: "The volcano erupted, the tsunami is coming, I will go to the airport immediately." Along with the last voice, there is also a WeChat transfer of 3355 yuan.

"I think this should be all the money in his WeChat wallet, and he must be thinking that the remaining penny should be left for me." What he cares about most is whether I have money in China. Lee Manny said.

After that, Li Manni could no longer contact her husband. Impatient, she had to keep brushing the news, and kept calculating in her heart whether Zhu Jianxiong could get to the airport before the tsunami came.

"I was very heartbroken, I didn't know how to express it, my whole body was shaking." She tried to call, hoping that it would be connected, that there would be a miracle, and that nothing would happen.

When I called the 8th time, a foreigner answered the phone and just kept saying "Yes". In the evening, the 19th call was made, and a foreigner answered the phone. She wondered if her husband had been killed, or if the signal was miswired.

For two days and two nights, she was taking care of the children and doing housework while shedding tears.

"With the strong backing of the country, I am at ease"

Just when she was desperate, she suddenly received a call from the staff of the Foreign Affairs Office of Guangdong Province and Guangzhou City. The other party told her that she could help find zhu Jianxiong's whereabouts and asked for Zhu Jianxiong's personal information.

Within two hours of her submission, Manni Lee received an overseas phone call. At first, Manny Lee thought it was a harassing phone call. The second time the number was dialed again, the other party said that it was from the Chinese Embassy in Tonga.

Lee Mani said her first reaction was that Tonga didn't have a signal? The other party said that satellite phones are now used, and the signal will be interrupted at any time. After hearing this, Li Manni was happy and surprised. The other party said that after confirmation by the embassy, her husband was safe and sound.

Li Mani said that the staff told her that it was difficult to make a phone call and called her first, which made her very moved.

"In such a short period of time, from learning about a person at home, to finding this person in another country where communications are paralyzed and confirming his safety, and giving me a report of safety, it is really a Chinese speed." Li Manni said, "I am very grateful to the motherland and proud to live under the five-star red flag." As a Chinese, with the strong backing of the country, I am at ease. ”
