Yi River is the mother river of Linyi, and the Xiaobudong Rubber Dam on the river is the longest rubber dam in Asia, quietly guarding the Yi River. Fu Yuchen is a staff member of the Xiaobu East Rubber Dam Management Office (hereinafter referred to as the Xiaobu East Rubber Dam Management Office) of the Linyi Water Conservancy Engineering Support Center, and a veteran with 14 years of military service. "The biggest flood in 60 years came, we calmly faced it, and now, we have sent it away smoothly." Fu Yuchen said firmly.

Asia's longest rubber dam keeper, the largest flood peak in 60 years, we have not failed in our duties

Check the water to clean up debris

The dam is patrolled every half hour

At 2 p.m. on August 17, the weather was unusually hot and muggy, and the Xiaobudong rubber dam was discharging floodwater, which was much quieter than the shocking flood discharge scene of the previous few days.

Fu Yuchen put on a camouflage suit, pinned the walkie-talkie to his right arm, and carried a large horn to the dam. "Whenever I put on this camouflage uniform, I find the feeling of being a soldier." Fu Yuchen quipped that his retirement from the army did not fade, and in his work, he still demanded himself in the style and discipline of the army. "As a dam keeper, I am like the troops, guarding the tranquility of the people on one side."

The peak of the flood has passed, but going to the dam every half hour is still the norm for Fu Yuchen. As soon as he stepped onto the dam, Fu Yuchen noticed that there were fishing citizens on the river not far away, and he hurriedly took out a loudspeaker to persuade him to leave. He said that in the process of patrolling the dam, it is not only his duty to check the safety of the dam body, but also to remind the people by the river to leave in time.

Walking down the steps on the side of the dam, Fu Yuchen came to the diversion wall. The poles erected on the diversion wall were covered with weeds, and a wooden board was crossed on it, "These were all floated down the water when the floodgates were opened on the 14th, when the 3-meter-high wall was submerged." While speaking, Fu Yuchen set out to clean up weeds and so on.

Subsequently, he came to the rubber dam body to clean up some of the stones and other debris floating downstream, "Usually when patrolling the dam, you must clean up some large floating objects, otherwise it will damage the dam bag." After inspecting the dam, Fu Yuchen went to the pump room to check the operation of the pump.

The day before, I accompanied my mother to see a doctor

The next day he stood on the dam again

On Fu Yuchen's right arm, there is still a deep scar, which was scratched by the window when he inspected the machine room on the 14th, At that time, the wind was very strong, the window blew over at once, and he didn't pay attention to it. ”

At 11:30 p.m. on August 13, Fu Yuchen, who was sleeping, received a call from his unit asking to go to the dam. "At that time, my heart was clucking, and I quickly got out of bed." When he came to the dam, Fu Yuchen checked each device non-stop to ensure that it was in a normal state of operation. According to the operating procedures, the gates are lifted and the dam is collapsed. "The amount of water was already huge at that time." Fu Yuchen recalled that at 2 p.m. on the 14th, the discharge flow reached 10,500 cubic meters per second. "This is the biggest flood I've ever encountered in my life." Fu Yuchen sighed.

In the next few days, Fu Yuchen and his colleagues ate and lived on the dam. At night, in order to pay attention to the real-time situation on the dam, they all opened the window and listened carefully to the movement outside the window, "The movement of the flood discharge is very large, and the movement at night is even greater, you can use the "pillow wave listening to the waves" to describe the working state at that time." Fu Yuchen said that with years of experience, just listening can estimate the change in the amount of flood discharge.

Zhang Li, director of the Xiaobu East Rubber Dam Management Office, said that August is the critical period for flood control, and he is the busiest time at this time. His hometown of Weifang Gaomi returned to his hometown on August 12 and saw his old mother sick. The next day after settling in his mother, he returned to work. "It's really people at home, and their hearts are on the dam."

Looking at the fading flood, Fu Yuchen said. The flood came, we calmly coped, and now, we sent it away smoothly. As the guardian of Linyi Mother River, I am very proud. After the Qilu Evening News and Qilu One-Point reporter interviewed, Fu Yuchen walked up to the dam again and began a new round of inspections.
