The deadly mudslide seemed to be a ruthless choice of fate, menacingly sweeping through the tranquility of the Qinling Mountains. At 18 o'clock on August 11, 2023, what was supposed to be a quiet time in summer turned into the beginning of people's nightmares. In this sudden disaster, 24 lives have unfortunately died so far, and 3 people have lost their voices.
That morning, Li Liben of Xi'an City saw a signal of heavy rain in the weather forecast. He did not dare to take it lightly, put down his work, and rushed back to his hometown. From the scenery along the way, he felt the anger of nature, and the roar of the Fenghe River was like a low roar from hell.
The villagers in the Qinling Mountains have always had a certain understanding of the heavy rain, but they did not foresee the seriousness of the disaster. The scenery in the mountains is fickle, and after all, the clouds in the sky cannot be concealed, and disasters often come without warning. Li Liben and Zhou Lanlan both felt the ruthlessness of nature and the fragility of life.
In the moment of disaster, people are faced with a life-and-death decision. Li Liben struggled to return home, and the scene at home shocked him, and the water in front of the door was like a wild horse out of control, unstoppable. His decision was to transfer his family, and in the face of uncontrollable circumstances, he understood that protecting his family's lives was more important than any property.
However, the power of the mudslide washed everything mercilessly. The chicken nest group located at the foot of the mountain was originally a quiet place, but on this day, fate painted a bloody symbol for it. Farmhouses, villages, everything was taken away in an instant, leaving behind sorrow and lamentation.
In this mountainous area, people's destinies are closely linked. The loss of life is not only the loss of the family, but also the pain of the entire community. The smell of sadness pervades every corner of the village, and the villagers support each other in helplessness, trying their best to save the buried people.
However, in this disaster, the warmth and tenacity of human nature was also shown. People have not been crushed, they have guarded the hope of life with practical actions, and their courage and unity have become a force to overcome disasters. Even after suffering great losses, people have not given up their love of life, and they believe that if they work together, they will be able to rebuild their homes and move forward.
This sudden catastrophe has forced people to re-examine the forces of nature and the fragility of human beings. Preventing disasters and protecting the environment is no longer a dispensable topic, but an urgent task. People should be more vigilant and strengthen early warning and response measures to avoid similar tragedies from happening again.
After the haze, the sun will always shine on the land again. Despite the suffering, the hope of life will never be extinguished. Let us work together to pray for the lives lost, pray for the survivors, rekindle love and hope, and let lives continue to shine.
