Torrential rains and torrential floods. In the past few days, many parts of Henan have been hit by torrential rains, and Zhengzhou has suffered the heaviest rainfall on record. Not long ago, in chengguan town, Xinmi City, a torrential rain inundated several villages. A wave came and was rescuing the deputy director and companions of the police station who were besieged by the flood, and after rescuing more than 20 villagers, they were unfortunately swept away by the torrent and disappeared for ten hours. A second, a minute, a moment... No news, is it raw? Is it dead?
The village is flooded on site
Henan Radio and Television Station reporters Zhu Shengyu (police officer Xiaoxin), He Fangyuan and others rushed to Xinmi City, Henan Province, with heavy doubts and deep concerns, crossed the collapsed bridge, waded through the surging flood, stepped through muddy villages, visited every scene full of dangers, and restored for you "10 hours of life and death by torrents."
Doubt - the villager bowed to the servant of the people: You saved my life!
"According to the flood situation at that time, if we continue to venture forward, my children and I will definitely be washed away, fortunately this police comrade rescued us, so thank you very much to this police comrade!" On the morning of July 25, at the inpatient department of Xinmi City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, a woman bowed deeply to a patient and presented a bouquet of flowers.
The lady sent flowers
The woman is a villager in Chengguan Town, Xinmi City, and the patient is Yang Xuheng, deputy director of the Chengguan Police Station of the Xinmi City Public Security Bureau. The villagers bowed to the servants of the people, and it must be the servants who did a good deed, which is appreciated. What's going on?
It turned out that just five days ago, on July 20, Ms. Li escaped from the flood under the rescue of Yang Xuheng. "Seeing the flood coming down, I ran back with my child, but the water was already too urgent, it was not over the knee, the police comrade quickly shouted at us, we and the police comrade helped each other to find a high stone, waited for more than three hours, rescue workers rescued us all."
Torrential rains poured down, floods were terrible, and life and death were unpredictable. This is Ms. Li's deepest memory of July 20.
According to her recollection, in the afternoon of the same day, Yang Xuheng and his colleagues, who were checking the water situation in Dongwadian Village of Chengguan Town, evacuated the masses, and received 110 instructions: Someone in the "Jinhewan" community of Zhaigou Village in Chengguan Town asked for help and needed to go to the rescue immediately. On the way to the road, several people were slowly wading through the water, and the water was getting higher and higher, and Yang Xuheng led several people to stand on a cement platform in the northeast corner. Among these people was this bowed Lady Li. Yang Xuheng's police response was exactly what she learned when she was rescued, and it was because of this that she met her.
Danger - two people "drifting" on a rainy night: save some effort for yourself!
In the dark night sky, in addition to the sound of water, it is the sound of rain. Then, the sound of water and rain mixed together again.
In the flood, one old and one young, wearing life jackets, were joined together by a rope. After a while, less "swim" to the front. After a while, the old "swim" came to the front. After a while, they freed their hands, wiped a handful of yellow water from their faces, and shouted "Help—" But there was no echo except the sound of water and rain. The less want to say to the old one: "Down is the Shuanghuan River, to Xinzheng, will we be rushed to Xinzheng?" The old man could hear nothing, and there was no answer. The young man said, "Stop shouting for help, shout in vain, no one will hear, save some effort." So the two stopped talking and let the torrent rush and drift downstream...
The story takes place on July 20, 2021, on the night of the eleventh day of the sixth lunar month, the youngest name is Yang Xuheng, 32 years old, a formal member of the Communist Party of China, is the deputy director of the Chengguan Police Station of the Public Security Bureau of Xinmi City, Henan Province, and a fourth-level police chief. The old man's name is Yang Quan, a formal member of the Communist Party of China, 63 years old, and a cadre of the Xiwadian Village Committee in Chengguan Town.
The elderly said that they had seen heavy rain, had never seen such heavy rain, and it had rained for a long time, for several days and nights in a row, and the raindrops were large and small for a while, and there was no interruption. Meteorological information shows that since July 17, 2021, Henan Province has received heavy rainfall, and from July 18 to 20, at 16:00, the cumulative rainfall in Xinmi has reached 512.7 mm, breaking through the historical extreme. What is 512.7 mm in the end, what is the concept of "extreme value", the people can't understand, but they know: I have seen heavy rain, I have never seen such a heavy rain, it has been raining for a long time, for several days and nights, the rain is large for a while, small for a while, and there is no interruption. When the flood peak came, like a beast, seeing who ate whom, even leaving no chance to react.
Villagers' homes affected
This river is called Suishui, according to the "Mixian Chronicle" published in 1992: Suishui originated in Suishui, the fifth finger ridge in the west of the county, and has two sources. The right source comes from Wuzhiling, flows south through Dengfengjing Bay, Tuguan and Zhuyuan to Yutai and turns west and east into Mixian County, passes through Liwan Reservoir, Niudian and Tancun Bay to the left source of the Supplement temple; the left source comes from the area of Dafang Mountain, and flows southeast through Shenzhai, Beizhao, Wucun, and to the right source of the Supplement temple. After the two sources meet, they flow southeast through the Xiazhuang River, Xiwadian, Dongwadian and Hudi to the Chaohua River and enter the Huanshui River in the west. Further east, it merges with Qinshui at Quliang Interchange Village, called the "Shuanghuan River", and flows in the direction of Xinzheng City. The Mixian section is 34 kilometers long, the riverbed is 100 to 300 meters wide, the basin area is 319 square kilometers, the annual flow is 01 to 03 seconds cubic meters, and the maximum flood volume is 1500 seconds cubic meters.
On this night, Yang Xuheng and Yang Quan, the old and the young, were swept into the torrent by the Suishui flood peak, and they followed the waves in the flood...
Hurry - cars float like leaves: I went to pick up the masses!
At about 2:40 p.m. on July 20, Yang Xuheng, together with the auxiliary police of the Chengguan police station, came to the river section of Dongwadian Village to check the water situation and persuade the evacuation of people along the river. Suddenly received 110 instructions: Zhai Gou Village "Jinhewan" community for help, at the scene to direct the evacuation of the instructor Yang Guidong and deputy directors Yang Xuheng, Wei Hongjian telephone communication and research personnel to go to Jinhewan rescue, Yang Xuheng did not hesitate in the slightest, said: "No need to discuss, I will go!" Wei Hongjian also said to go together. Therefore, Wei Hongjian drove the police car, and Yang Xuheng sat in the auxiliary seat, carrying life jackets, life ropes and other equipment, and marched towards the Jinhewan community.
As they walked, they persuaded the people along the river to evacuate the riverbed quickly so as not to be in danger. When I reached a bridgehead of Y041 Road in The Village of Sivadian, I saw a van being "pushed" by the flood and drifting over with a dangling wave. There was also a van parked on the side of the road, and there were people in the car. After a while, the drifting van hit the parked van. A female driver got out of the parked van and tried to push the van that hit her car away.
At the sight of this, Wei Hongjian quickly stopped the car, Yang Xuheng got down from the vice seat, first helped the female driver to hold down a seven- or eight-year-old daughter in the car, sent the mother and daughter duo to a cement platform not far from the northwest corner, and took out the spare life jacket in the car for the two to wear.
Reporter Zhu Shengyu interviewed Ms. Li, who was rescued
At this time, Yang Xuheng looked back and saw that the two vans that had crashed into each other were drifting downstream at the same time. He quickly commanded Wei Hongjian to drive, trying to hold the two cars against them and not let them rush away. However, several people came from the north side of the road, and as they walked, they were surrounded by floods. Yang Xuheng and Wei Hongjian led several people to stand on a cement platform in the northeast corner.
Horror - the rescue car flipped over: we are gone!
The sky has slowly darkened, and it is almost impossible to see the face on the other side. However, the heavy rain continued to fall from the sky to the ground in a tight and slow burst. The torrents pouring down from the area of Wuzhiling and Sukezun Temple converged into the Suishui River, where the flood waters became wider, deeper, and fiercer, and the cement platforms were not safe. Yang Xuheng stood in the flood, blowing a police whistle to direct the masses to move to a high land in the southeast corner. At this time, the two vans that had just collided with each other disappeared from people's vision and were swept away by the flood.

The rain is still falling. The water is still rising. About 200 meters east of Yang Xuheng, there were several trapped people. A forklift that came to the rescue came to the rescue, and just after walking a short distance, the water flooded the forklift engine and did not dare to drive again. What to do? Yang Xuheng thought about it for a moment and said firmly, "I went to pick them up." Comrade Yang Quan, an old cadre who has passed the age of Huajia in Siwadian Village, also stood up and said, "I am a party member, and I have also passed." Therefore, Yang Xuheng and Yang Quan rode in an amphibious rescue vehicle that came to the rescue and drove to the masses, and Wei Hongjian stayed where he was to protect the masses.
Yang Xuheng (first from the left) and other police officers rescued the masses
The rescue vehicle was walking along the riverside road when it suddenly encountered an opening that had been washed away by the water, and the tires stuck in it. The driver was about to rush out of the opening to continue, when a vicious wave came, and the rescue car overturned into the water and was flooded. The driver was rescued by the nearby police and reported the situation to the on-site commander. When Yang Xuheng and Lao Yang were submerged in the rescue car, they worked together to open the skylight and climb outside the car, and another wave hit, and the two disappeared.
Thoughts------------------------------------------------------
The deputy director of the Chengguan police station and the veteran cadres of the village committee were swept away by the flood, and immediately stunned Wei Hongjian and the cadres and masses of the village group who were present. Immediately afterward, the information quickly spread to the ears of Ji Yongbin, secretary of the party committee and director of the Xinmi City Public Security Bureau, as if it had grown wings. Ji Yongbin immediately informed the convening of a temporary emergency party committee and demanded that all party members and Wang Xiaolong, director of the Chengguan police station, exhaust all measures and find the missing comrade at any cost.
Born in 1989, Yang Xuheng's ancestral home is Guogou Village, Chaohua Town, Xinmi City, and after graduating from university in November 2011, he was recruited to the Xinmi Municipal Public Security Bureau, and successively worked in the Criminal Investigation Brigade, the Dakui Police Station, and the Synthetic Combat Command Center, and was transferred to the post of deputy director of the Chengguan Police Station in 2020. In September 2015, he was awarded the third class merit of the individual once, and in June 2018, he was rated as an advanced individual of "safe construction" in Zhengzhou. In the criminal investigation brigade, he dared to fight and strive to be enterprising. In the detection of the "2014, 11, 3" Chaohua village murder case, he was meticulous and meticulous, active in action, and together with his comrades-in-arms, he captured the murderer Jia Mouchao from Sanmenxia and sent him back to Xinmi for trial, comforting the soul of the deceased. In March 2017, after serving as the deputy director of the Synthetic Combat Command Center, he devoted himself to the construction and application of the "Safe Xinmi" video surveillance, constantly summarized the video investigation techniques and tactics, effectively improved the level of serving public security in actual combat, and promoted the overall information construction and application, which was fully affirmed and praised by leaders and comrades.
After he took up the post of deputy director of the Chengguan police station, he insisted on keeping the affairs of the masses in mind: Wherever there are difficult problems, there will be Yang Xuheng.
The water potential of the river at the head of the village
This time, Yang Xuheng saved people from falling into the water, which immediately touched everyone's heart. Those who have been rescued, those who are waiting for rescue, those who know him, those who do not know him, are all inquiring about his safety. Even along the shore of Suishui, flashlights were played, and while looking for them, he shouted: "Director Yang - Yang Xuheng - where are you?" Hear me say yes! ”
However, in addition to the "snapping, snapping" sound of raindrops falling to the ground, there was only the "whooshing, whooping" sound of the flood rolling in the river.
Thrill - 10 hours of life and death game: you must think of self-help!
In the flood, Xiao Yang and Lao Yang are still engaged in a life-and-death game with the flood.
Fortunately, when he went to rescue the trapped people, Yang Xuheng tied the life rope to the life jacket, and Yang Quan wrapped the life rope around his wrist. When they were hit into the water by the huge waves, Old Yang was still tugging on the rope.
They don't know how long they've been floating, they don't know where they've drifted, they don't know what time it is, they just know the dark night sky, throwing cold rain pillars.
Suddenly, Yang Xuheng felt as if his right hand had touched something, and with a force, he grabbed it, and it was a wire. With a little more force, as the flood floated, the body wandered a little, and the bottom of the water was also stepped on under his feet. He immediately realized that he had drifted to the shore. Old Yang, who was immediately behind him, also drifted to his side and stepped on the bottom of the river. They swam as hard as they could to the shore and touched a fence.
Xiao Yang first tried hard to lift Lao Yang to the top of the railing, and Lao Yang pulled on the life rope and pulled Xiao Yang up. The two finally breathed a sigh of relief: they couldn't die. The two rode to the railing, rested for a while, and regained a little strength. Began to soak in the flood, sitting on the railing was blown by the wind, Lao Yang began to shiver. Xiao Yang held Old Yang's hand in his own hand and felt that it was cold and cold. The water level in the river was still rising, and it didn't take long to flood the railing where their butts were sitting.
Reporter Zhu Shengyu found the fence of the railing where the parties sat on a rainy night and told the story of the incident at the scene
Old Yang said, "It's not a thing to keep soaking like this." "Yeah," Xiao Yang said, "we still have to think of self-help, and we can't trap us here anyway." ”
The two discussed for a while, Xiao Yang first pulled the life-saving rope to unload Old Yang into the railing, and Old Yang caught Xiao Yang and slid down. At this time, they vaguely saw that it seemed that a large stone was exposed on the surface of the water, so they carefully touched it and stood on the stone. They have a bottom in their hearts, and the water here will not be too deep.
After holding on for a while, I saw that the fish belly was white in the sky, and the sky was bright. Yang Xuheng took a closer look and found that he had come here, it was Wanzihe Village in Chengguan Town, and the railing was the wall of a discontinued aluminum factory on the south bank of the river. From Siva shop to here, there are about 3 kilometers. It's about 6 o'clock now, and the time they fell into the water yesterday was about 8 o'clock in the evening. By this reckoning, they have been away from their comrades for about 10 hours.
Yang Xuheng later recalled that his only thought at this time was: there was salvation.

Each of them found a wooden stick, according to the method of the old Yang Sect, carrying the stick, and walking step by step with the waist-deep mixed water, walked to the courtyard of the aluminum factory and shouted to open the door, borrowed the mobile phone of the gatekeeper of the aluminum factory, and called 110 through an emergency call to report the police.
According to Wang Xiaoyu, an instructor at the 110 command center of the Xinmi City Public Security Bureau, on the morning of July 21, when the police officer received Yang Xuheng's call for help, Wang Xiaoyu, who was waiting by the side, "couldn't believe his ears, repeatedly asked to confirm that it was Yang Xuheng, and burst into tears, crying and informing the rescue team and the Xinmi City Public Security Bureau of this good news." The police who were organizing the search and rescue immediately rushed to the aluminum factory and successfully rescued Yang Xuheng and the trapped people.

During the interview, the reporter learned that in the more than 50 hours since the flood prevention and flood control, he has successively received 16 police cases, rescued more than 50 people, and defended the safety of the people's lives and property with youth, blood and even life.
