At 22:51 on August 12, 2015, a fire broke out in a warehouse in Tianjin Binhai New Area, the fire was fierce, and the 5th Squadron of the Binhai New Area Fire Brigade sent all police forces to the scene to extinguish the fire after receiving the police information.
When they arrived at the scene, they did not know that the warehouse was full of dangerous goods, including a large amount of sodium.
Firefighters used traditional high-pressure water guns to extinguish the fire, and the water came into contact with nano exposed to a high-temperature open flame to produce a chemical reaction to produce a large amount of hydrogen, which triggered a second explosion just 30 seconds later.
This time the explosion was far more menacing than the first one, and a huge mushroom cloud rose from the scene, instantly turning the warehouse into ruins within a radius of 100 meters.
The rising mushroom cloud was wrapped in dazzling firelight, and the entire Binhai New Area was like daylight, and the flames carried countless sparks flying around.
The building glass within 2 kilometers of the surrounding area was shattered by the powerful shock wave, and the tremor can still be felt from 10 kilometers away.
The temperature of the blast core reached thousands of degrees, and in an instant it destroyed all the buildings in the central area and melted all the combustibles.
Even though the firefighters were wearing protective clothing, they bore the brunt of this high-temperature and high-intensity explosion, and the results can be imagined.
At this moment, those who were waiting in the distance witnessed the creepiest scene in their lives.
The dazzling fire light blinded them for a moment, their brains were blank, and then a strong wind carried the hot heat like an invisible hand, lifted them and fell heavily to the ground.
It's so hot! Their bare skin was scalded with a string of blisters! It hurts so much! The hot wind rushing towards them raised dense glass slag pebbles and slammed into their bodies.
There were screams, cries and mourning all around, this was the world, but it was like a nasal hell.
Satellite images later showed that a large circular crater with a diameter of 97 meters and a depth of 2.7 meters (the length of a standard football field is 105 meters) formed in the epicenter of the accident.
The hundreds of meters of the warehouse were razed to the ground, and a five-story police station 400 meters from the explosion site was left with only a crumbling frame after the explosion.
According to official statistics, the explosion killed 165 people, left 8 missing and 798 injured. The vast majority of the casualties were firefighters who rushed to the scene to participate in the rescue.
The data of casualties are not cold figures, they are compatriots who once lived alive.
They are the children of their parents, the husbands of their wives, the fathers of their children, and behind this string of numbers are many broken families, and Pang Di is also one of them.
In 1991, Pang Di was born in an ordinary family in Suizhou, Hubei Province, his family was not rich, and his childhood was not happy.
In his impression, his family was very poor, and his father Pang Fangguo had to go out to work in order to make a living and provide him with a better life.
Therefore, the figure of the father did not leave much color in his childhood, but from his only memories, he can still feel the father's love and responsibility to the family.
He supports the whole family without complaint and carries all the burdens on himself, so in his heart, his father is his hero, and his sense of responsibility will continue to Pang Di.
Pang Di has been obedient and sensible since he was a child, and his father has been away all year round, leaving him and his mother Fang Zhiying to rely on each other in their hometown.
Fang Zhiying was frail and sick, and was often ill and hospitalized. When she was a child, Pang Wei took care of her carefully by her mother's side, always helping her mother do housework in life, sharing the burden on her mother, so that her mother did not have to work too hard.
Pang Di thinks that he is a man like his father, so he must take on the responsibility of caring for his mother and not let his mother be too tired.
Under the influence of the family, Pang Di's dream changed from protecting his mother to protecting the entire country and every ordinary person in the country.
After graduating from high school, Pang Di chose to join the army and was assigned to the Tianjin Fire Brigade and became a firefighter.
In the army, Pang Zhi came into contact with such high-intensity training for the first time, and he had to get up before dawn to report for duty and start a full day of training.
When he first came to the army, after returning to the dormitory after training, he fell on the bed, and he wanted to rest for a while and then go to wash, but he didn't expect to be too tired, and slept directly until the next morning.
The high-intensity training did not make Pang Feng back down, but the more courageous the battle, the more pressure he was, the more motivated he was.
Pang Di stood out among the firefighters in this batch, and because of his excellent performance, he was appointed as the combat captain of the second squadron.
Every time he goes out of a task, Pang Zhi always rushes to the front.
He is a firefighter who is desperate to save the people who suffered in the fire and their property, he is also the combat leader of the second fire squadron, and he also wants to protect everyone behind him.
Pang Di is not the oldest in the second squadron, but like a warm big brother, he cares for every comrade and tries his best to solve their problems.
In 2014, Pang introduced his parents to his long-dated girlfriend, who he planned to marry after he was discharged from the army at the end of November 2015.
Pang Di's parents were very satisfied with their son's girlfriend, and as soon as the son mentioned them, they couldn't wait to start preparing for the wedding.
Pang Di has not let them worry since he was a child, he has studied well since he was a child, he is sensible and obedient, and he is a sunny and cheerful man with a sense of responsibility.
He became an honorable firefighter, his parents were proud and proud of him, and now that their son's marriage was finalized, their hearts were extremely gratified.
In early August 2015, Pang Di had just finished surgery for otitis media, and while still on vacation, he went home to discuss with his parents about the marriage after this year's discharge from the army.
Pang Xian, who was accustomed to the life of the army, returned to the fire brigade early before the end of the holiday, and he could not rest assured at all times at home, and he could only be at ease when he returned to the fire brigade.
At 10:51 p.m. on August 12, a huge fire broke out in Tianjin's Tanggu, and Pang Diben was not in the rescue ranks.
But looking at the noisy tongues of fire in the distance, as if it was about to devour the entire Binhai New Area, he picked up his equipment without hesitation and quickly rushed to the scene with his teammates.
The fire was very large, as soon as they approached the heat, it seemed that they were about to penetrate the fireproof suit and burn their bodies, and they felt that their whole people were being baked on the fire, but they rushed into the scorching fire without flinching.
Soon, the metal substance in the warehouse reacted, resulting in a devastating secondary explosion, and Pang Di was engulfed by the sudden burst of fire and died in the sea of fire.
Pang Fangguo and his wife, who were far away in their hometown in Hubei, saw the huge fire in Tianjin from the news, and their hearts hung high this night.
Although his son is still on vacation, with his personality, he will definitely choose to fight with his teammates without hesitation.
Pang Fangguo looked at the firefighters in the scene and felt that every figure was like their son, and every anxious and busy figure touched their hearts, and they always had a bad premonition.
Pang Fangguo and his wife stayed up all night, and after one night the open fire was extinguished, they couldn't wait to call Pang Di to confirm his safety, but the phone could no longer be connected.
They thought that it was a disaster relief overnight, and the son must be tired and go back to sleep, so they waited a little longer, so they left a message to their son, let him wake up and call his parents back to report safety.
The death toll from the scene is increasing, but there is still no news from his son, and even Pang Di's comrades cannot be contacted.
They are anxious like ants on a hot pot, hoping to receive a call back from their son, but also afraid of receiving a call back from their son's troops.
Since the fire, the anxiety of losing contact with their son has made it difficult for them to sleep, and they have been emaciated for a few days.
On the third day, Fang Zhiying received a call from the Pang Di troops, the voice on the phone was serious and low, Fang Zhiying subconsciously did not want to listen to it anymore, she realized that this call would bring a bad news that she could not bear.
Sure enough, the other end of the phone told them the bad news that Pang Di was buried in the sea of fire, and the body had been found.
Fang Zhiying's heart was unbearable, his eyes rolled up, and he suddenly pouted on the sofa, and Pang Fangguo quickly pinched his people, so that her consciousness gradually cleared.
Fang Zhiying's tears suddenly couldn't stop pouring out, she wanted to scream in pain, wanted to scream, but it seemed to be like a crow in her throat, which could only make her make a silent mournful cry.
Pang Fangguo held his collapsed wife, and his mood was no better than his wife, but in this special period, he must stand up and support this collapsed world for his wife.
They booked the fastest ticket to Tianjin, and as soon as they got off the plane, someone took them to the scene of the fire, and the scene was a mess, and their children were covered with white cloths, lying peacefully on the ground.
Pang Di's face was blackened by thick smoke and unrecognizable, and the explosion and high temperature made his flesh and blood blurry, and there was no good skin.
But Pang Fangguo and his wife immediately recognized this as their son Pang Feng through their scorched black faces.
Fang Zhiying's heart surged with strong grief, it seemed that her whole heart was tightly held in her hands and could not breathe, she could no longer bear this cruel fact, and she was shocked at once.
On August 19, a memorial service was held for Pang Zhiying, and Fang Zhiying was crushed by great grief, she had no strength in her body, and she had to be supported to walk.
The intense grief of losing her son made her ten years old at once, and her eyes were crying blind, red and swollen, like two walnuts embedded in her face.
Fang Zhiying stayed in Tianjin for twenty days, her mood collapsed several times, fainted several times, and was sent to the hospital five times.
The city of Tianjin left them with only painful memories, and there are traces of their son's life everywhere, but they can no longer find any trace of his son's life in this world.
It is clear that he will be discharged from the army in three months, obviously they have only discussed the relevant matters of the wedding, their wedding room has been purchased, the wedding celebration, the hotel are ready.
The closer the time for their sons to be discharged from the army, the more they look forward to their sons being able to enter the palace of marriage and form a happy family under their witness.
But after an explosion, it took away all their hopes and expectations, and the future was no longer colorful, but lifeless black and white.
On the 25th, Pang Di's ashes were taken back to his hometown in Suizhou, Hubei Province by his parents, and buried in the Martyrs' Cemetery, where he fell into a permanent sleep in the land he loved.
After returning home, Pang Fangguo and his wife lived like walking dead, and Fang Zhiying held his son's photo in his arms.
Doing nothing, sitting for a day, silent tears fell on the picture frame one after another, until the tears also ran out.
Relatives are concerned about their condition and often come to chat with them, accompany them out and see this world full of birds and flowers.
However, the living are long, the dead are long, and with Pang Zhi are the colors of their lives.
The "8.12 Tianjin explosion" has slowly sunk into people's memories and become vague fragments in memory.
In 2016, Fang Zhiying saw the news stories of middle-aged families who lost their children and successfully gave birth to a child through IVF.
A crazy thought surged in her heart, she wanted to do IVF, she wanted to have a child, and continue Pang Di's life.
With the passage of time, Pang Di will once again die in the hearts of relatives and friends, and when they die, who will remember Pang Di?
Only Pang Di's close family will always remember him, Fang Zhiying wants to give birth to a child and let Pang Di continue to live in their hearts, so that after a hundred years, they can go with peace of mind.
However, Pang Fangguo denied this idea, Fang Zhiying is 45 years old, and giving birth to a child is very risky for her, not to mention that she is already weak and sick.
But Fang Zhiying's attitude was resolute, no matter how he persuaded Fang Zhiying to stick to his ideas, his attitude slowly wavered.
If the child would become Fang Zhiying's new hope, able to bring her a little life and take her away from the shadows that appeared, then he compromised.
Accompanied by her husband, Fang Zhiying walked into the hospital to consult the doctor about IVF.
Fang Zhiying is 45 years old, this age is no longer suitable for pregnancy and childbirth, and the chance of conception is very low, I hope they can think about it clearly.
Fang Zhiying did not hesitate, she had already thought clearly before coming to the hospital. In order to be able to conceive the child smoothly, she actively adjusted the state of life and strengthened her body with her husband.
Fang Zhiying's pregnancy process was not easy, she went through 4 surgeries before she was successfully conceived, and during the pregnancy examination, she was surprised to find that there were twins in the womb.
On December 14, 2017, Fang Zhiying gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, and named them "Sisi" and "Niannian".
Their appearance alleviated the grief of Pang Fangguo and Fang Zhiying, and the lively and lively twins gave them no time to indulge in grief and gradually led them out of the shadows.
When the two children were one hundred days old, the couple took a family photo.
They took out their son's military uniform, holding their thoughts and thoughts, Pang Zhi's military uniform was neatly hung beside them, and in their memory, the figure of their son wearing a military uniform was so tall.
Sisi and Niannian accompany their parents to visit their brother at the Martyrs' Cemetery every time, and they have gradually grown up and know that they have a heroic brother.
Pang Fangguo would also take them to his brother's former army to feel the place where his brother used to work.
Pang Fangguo and his wife looked at the new faces in the army, and thought that their son also served the motherland with enthusiasm, and finally turned into a phoenix in the sea of fire.
However, the phoenix is bathed in fire, endlessly, and there will always be a soul that will never retreat, and will become the patron saint of the people without hesitation, escort their happy life, and carry the weight forward.
