Hell-grade Spring Festival

Snowstorm in the south

There were many unexpected things that happened this year, such as the Wenchuan earthquake, the Beijing Olympics, and the snow disaster in the south. It was supposed to be a jubilant day, but suddenly encountered 50 years of exceptionally heavy snowstorm, the southern section of the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway was cut off, all trains were suspended, and the entire Guangzhou Railway Station was crowded with people, nearly 400,000 people.

There would not have been so many people, but due to the economic crisis in the United States, it also had a certain impact on China, so the factory closed, which meant that many workers were unemployed, and it was just during the Spring Festival, so the migrant workers also had the idea of going home.

But when everyone came to the station, they found that the station was full of people, but many people directly returned their houses and chose to go home to find a way to live, but when they arrived at the train station, they learned that there was a heavy snow disaster in Hunan, resulting in the suspension of all vehicles in Guangzhou, and everyone anxiously asked when they could start normally.

There was a heavy snowstorm in the Hunan region

Even some people directly take risks, create chaos, coupled with the cries of women in the station, the cries of children, and the shouts of others, the whole station is in chaos, for such a situation, the state immediately made relevant strategies, sent 40,000 military police to the scene to maintain order. Fortunately, the state intervened in time and did not cause serious trampling accidents, and in order to maintain order, the military and police were exhausted to the extreme, and even, at any time, they may fall.

They arranged the trapped people and gave some material help to the people stranded at the train station to wait for news, which was 11 days. In contrast, on the Hunan side, many vehicles were forced to be trapped on the road, and at the first time of the disaster, the officers and men of the mainland armed police de-icing on the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway, and some Hunan locals also joined the disaster relief operation.

Because the blizzard came too suddenly, many people on the road did not eat too much food, and for this situation, the people of Hunan spontaneously organized to bring hot meals to the trapped people. At that time, due to the snow disaster was too serious, the power lines in many places were also damaged, and at that time, a humble candle could be sold for 50 yuan, not to mention instant noodles and other foods, and it was sold at a sky-high price, but even so, these things could not be bought.

Especially in Jiahe, which was the most affected by the disaster, a large number of houses collapsed, people's life safety could not be guaranteed, especially in rural Hunan, the power tower collapsed under the pressure of thick ice, and many elderly people died because they could not bear it, so this year's Spring Festival was very sad. When the people are affected by the disaster, there is a group of people who rise to the challenge and give hope to the people affected by the disaster: the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the engineers who have no name.

Rise to the occasion

After the state received the news of the snow disaster in Hunan, it immediately dispatched more than 1,200 officers and men of the armed police to clean up the road ice and snow overnight, dredge the stranded vehicles, and the Changsha crowd extended a warm hand and donated money and materials. There is also a group of people, they silently do their work, rescue the wire, in Wangcheng 500 kV Warsaw line No. 43 tower, Zhou Jinghua, Luo Haiwen, Luo Changming and other people risked their lives to use wooden sticks to de-icing, at this time, there was an accident, the 50-meter-high tower collapsed, Zhou Jinghua died on the spot, the remaining two were also sent to the hospital bridge to rescue ineffective death.

It is precisely because of the fearlessness of these heroes that the good news finally came on the afternoon of January 30, some trains at Changsha Railway Station resumed operation, passengers on the train faced the reporter's interview, happy erection, and the trapped people at Guangzhou Railway Station finally sat on the train home.

Snow disaster in Hunan

The passengers at the station got on the train in an orderly manner under the command of the armed police, and after this incident, some people recalled that their hearts were full of emotions, and a student who was studying at a university in Hunan said so: At that time, he only had a few days left to take the exam, and after eating, he hung the washed clothes on the balcony, but when he returned at night, his clothes had been frozen into ice cubes.

At this point he did not realize the seriousness of the problem, the snow had been snowing for the next few days, the student bought the ticket for the 16th, and was about to go home, he was excited to think about where to go to the hot pot at night. However, the next day, it suddenly began to snow heavily, and there were many people on the street shoveling snow on the road, and the ticket he bought was also notified of the suspension.

People trapped on the road

The train station was even more crowded, the cars on the highway were all stopped, and then he heard his classmates say that a bowl of noodles on the highway could be sold for 50 yuan, and then not long after, the highway was completely paralyzed, but fortunately, at that time, his family also bought coal balls, but what he did not expect was that the disaster would be so serious, nearly half a month, he did not take a bath, and it was from this time that he understood the preciousness of water and electricity.

A week later, the candles were also sold out, and he could often hear the news that where and where was the snow was trapped, many people could only rely on torches to illuminate, this matter even in the past few years, but also left a deep impression on the heart of this classmate, he said that that year was his only time, can not afford to eat vegetables.

The warmth of disaster in the face of disaster

In fact, why this snow disaster will cause such a big impact, or because of the lack of infrastructure in China, the mainland power supply network is not strong enough, but also let Chinese understand that human beings are so small in the face of disasters. It is also because of this disaster that the mainland began to attach importance to infrastructure, and since then, China has stepped into the road of infrastructure madness. At that time, China's roads covered a distance of 3.73 million kilometers, and there were not enough airports, and in the decade after the snow disaster, the mainland's electricity consumption increased to 242.63 million kVA, and the rural coverage rate was close to that of the city.

Infrastructure maniacs

As China continues to promote the strategy of going out, it has also undertaken many overseas projects, including five super projects, each of which has created a miracle, so China is known as an infrastructure demon. The first project is the Hamilton Bridge in the United States, which was originally built during World War I, but as time flies, many facilities gradually age. Many Western countries are reluctant to take over because they are unable to repair it, even the United States itself is unable to repair it, when Chinese companies have struck, the DirectLy Agitated United States and even the United States believe that China cannot complete this move.

The second major project is the Merove Dam in Sudan. Also known as the African version of the Three Gorges, Chinese companies have built it, which not only improves the water situation in Sudan, but also improves the flooding of the Nile River, which also has many benefits for the downstream people.

The third line of the big project is the Congolese Expressway, which many countries are not willing to accept, because it is not only located in the tropical rainforest, the terrain is very complex, and finally it was accepted by Chinese companies to accept this task and help the Congo realize the dream of the highway.

The fourth is Pakistan's nuclear power plant project, which is very short of electricity, and China has helped them build a nuclear power plant, which is also known as the safest nuclear power plant in the world.

How did the title of China's infrastructure maniac come about

The last project was the Gantas Tunnel in Algeria, a tunnel called a disaster by French engineers, which was overcome by Chinese engineers and opened up in just a few years, precisely because of China's strength in infrastructure, many Western countries like to find Chinese results when they encounter difficult problems.

Even in the African region, many places have also received help from China, so they have established diplomatic relations with China and cooperated with China, because for the countries in the African region, Chinese not only kind, but also will lend a helping hand in their most difficult times, so many African countries are very grateful for China's help.
