【Preface】

In mid-April 2014, the South Korean ship Sewol sank off the coast of Jindo County. The ship sank, killing more than 300 people. Many remain unaccounted for.

This accident shocked the world and became a hot news tragedy that people all over the world were talking about at that time.

In March 2017, after a year and a half of efforts by the Chinese maritime rescue team, the Shiyue was finally rescued from the bottom of the sea.

However, China invested 1.6 billion yuan entirely on rescue work, while the ungrateful South Korea gave us only 500 million yuan to save the "Sewol".

In the face of such huge losses, why is China willing to help South Korea save the "Sewol"? Why can't the Koreans save themselves?

【Business loss! 】 】

Some time after the sinking of the Sewol, the South Korean government could not withstand the pressure of people from all walks of life and began to rescue the Sewol.

However, due to the difficulty of salvaging the Sewol, South Korea currently does not have the ability to fully salvage such a heavy ship.

Therefore, in 2015, the South Korean government tendered countries around the world to salvage heavy ships.

Many aid organizations from all over the world have made offers. After several rounds of selection and elimination, the rescue team from Shanghai, China finally won. And in September of the same year, the rescue work of the "Sewol" began.

Rescuing a heavy ship like Sewol is difficult, but the task is difficult, and the location of the Sewol wreck is deep under the sea, which makes the rescue mission even more difficult. The problem of rough seas and poor visibility in the depths of the sea needs to be overcome.

What is even more rare is that South Korea also asked the mainland's Shanghai rescue team to maintain good condition when the Sewol sank and salvaged from the water, while ensuring that the hull of the Sewol was intact. It cannot be damaged at all.

Rescue is already difficult, but the Chinese rescue team has to face various harsh conditions proposed by South Korea, which makes it even more difficult.

In August 2015, according to the salvage requirements put forward by the Korean side, after many discussions and calculations, the Shanghai rescue team proposed a salvage plan to use a steel hull to maintain the overall buoyancy of the Sewol and the buoyancy of seawater. And signed a rescue agreement.

The Shanghai rescue team was fully prepared, using underwater scanning devices to determine the location of the ship's sinking many times, and carefully presented the three-dimensional high-definition picture of the sinking of the underwater "Sewol".

The Shanghai rescue team also carefully considered the need to punch holes in the ship to recycle waste oil and install safety nets to avoid marine pollution.

Pumping is carried out at the stern, waste oil is recycled, and safety nets are installed around the ship to prevent damage or explosion caused by the ship tilting.

In March 2017, after a long period of preparation, the rescue of the "Sewol" was officially launched. Between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m., 30 sets of rescue steel cables from the two rescue ships were in place, and the "Sewol" ship began to rescue. With flying colors. The starboard fuselage of No. 1 was salvaged.

At 23:00 in the evening, the "Shiyue" was completely rescued by the Chinese rescue team.

The rescue operation cost the mainland a total of 1.6 billion, while South Korea paid only 500 million. This is so ungrateful!

[South Korea's "Sewol" tragedy shocked the world]

In 2014, an academic tour group consisting of more than 300 students and more than a dozen senior teachers boarded the Sewol on Jeju Island, South Korea.

The Sewol ship is actually a second-hand ship with cargo weighing more than 980 tons. But on the day of the accident, the used ship carried more than 2,000 tons. Severely overloaded over the weight of the ship.

After the boats used here have sailed a certain distance, they show signs of tilting. As the ship moved forward, the angle of inclination became larger and larger, and the people on board gradually began to panic. The students panicked and shouted for help.

After receiving the emergency call, the South Korean police quickly dispatched dozens of coast guards to the scene to rescue the Sewol.

At about 9:50 a.m., more than 90% of the hull of the Sewol was submerged, and more than an hour later, at about 11:00, the Sewol ship had been completely swallowed by the sea. Sinking to the bottom of the sea...

According to statistics, 300 people have been confirmed dead, 8 people are missing, and 145 people are injured to varying degrees.

The sinking of the South Korean "Sewol" shocked the world. Many believe that this incident is not accidental.

The captain of the Sewol was temporarily replaced. The original captain was a navigator in the first class, and on vacation that day, a navigator second-class temporarily replaced the captain.

Early the next morning, "Shiyue" arrived at the Mongolian rice fields in South Korea. Mongolian rice paddies are a very dangerous sea, the sea water in this place is changing drastically at any time, the sea is turbulent, everyone must be careful. Voyage.

The "Sewol" traveled at high speed and unreasonably turned 45 degrees, which caused the sails to tilt badly and the hull to shake violently.

Suddenly it spins and the frame no longer wobbles. The people on board began screaming for help, and staff told the students on board to stay on board and wait for the coast guard.

Unexpectedly, the coast guard came to the rescue. One after another, they rescued the captain and crew. However, no one else on board was rescued before the ship was swallowed by the sea, and the rest of the crew did not wait for the coast guard to come to the rescue.

More than 300 of them died at sea. The incident quickly shocked the South Korean people, and the South Korean government immediately issued a statement.

Generally speaking, if such a large ship has an accident, the local government should desperately come to the rescue. However, from the time the accident was discovered until the ship sank, South Korea's performance was very unusual. When there were so many captains, only about 100 people were rescued, and the rest drowned in the sea.

The South Korean Coast Guard rescued only more than 60 people, up to about 100. Do you really save actively and diligently? Failing to perform its duties, the Coast Guard was disbanded amid an outcry.

Under the pressure of public opinion, the South Korean government sent a large number of coast guards to the scene, but did not take any action after arriving. No one was involved in rescue or search and rescue operations. They may think that everyone is sinking and there is nothing left to do.

In the afternoon, South Korean President Park Geun-hye also rushed to the scene of the accident, but 8 hours have passed since the sinking of the Sewol. What have you been doing for so long? With such a big incident, shouldn't we have rushed to the scene as soon as possible?

The South Korean government later announced that it had dispatched more than 100 coast guards and more than 50 elite offshore divers and rescuers to conduct search and rescue operations. But in fact they showed up and did nothing, and the authorities have been reporting that the search and rescue has not made any progress.

The families of the victims cannot tolerate government inaction. Allegations were made and demonstrations were held in the streets. There was an uproar across the country, so that night the South Korean government set up another search and rescue team and took them to the cabin.

But at the moment, all they could find was the wreckage.

Several families of the victims have asked the South Korean government to take responsibility for the accident. The government unit could not withstand the pressure, so more than a dozen crew members involved in the case were arrested, and the owner of the "Time" was also summoned by the court.

He is a very famous entrepreneur in South Korea and a "cult" leader in Korea. When summoned by the police, he refused to appear or appear in court until his final whereabouts were unknown.

The crew members involved were sentenced to 1 to 12 years in prison. It looks like they're all punished, but really? No high-level personnel paid for the accident.

The case attracted worldwide attention and condemnation. Many countries accused the South Korean government of inaction, did not actively carry out rescue work after the accident, and the South Korean government did not publicly apologize afterwards.

Relatives of the victims also expressed dissatisfaction with the handling of the accident and organized demonstrations.

The South Korean government could not resist the protests of the people, let alone the claims of different countries, so it launched a public tender for the rescue work of the Sewol.

When Sewol was rescued, the South Korean government said that many bones had been saved, and many families of the victims rushed to express their relief. They have lost their loved ones, and they want to get the bones of their loved ones and pay their respects. But the South Korean government changed its narrative, saying the animals were bones.

You know, on such a large passenger ship, passengers' luggage and personal belongings, including materials on board, are recorded in a very detailed list, and these dozens of "animal bones" are not recorded in it.

The South Korean government faces multiple suspicions and claims that our Chinese rescue team threw bones into the sea during the rescue process.

This situation sounds ridiculous. How could rescuers throw so many bones into the sea? Also, was thrown into the cabin of the sunken "Seki"?

In the face of various doubts, the South Korean government did not respond positively. In the face of scientific tests raised by the public, the South Korean government also turned a deaf ear.

Even South Korean President Park Geun-hye said in her rescue speech that "the sacrifice of these students is a noble sacrifice." These things were mixed together, and the anger of the South Korean people suddenly exploded.

Many believe that the incident was not a simple accident, but was deliberately staged by someone and that the students were used as sacrifices in "cult" rituals.

Countries around the world have a new understanding of the Korean government. Government inaction can be seen in every country or region, but the South Korean government does very little...

[The predecessor of the South Korean Sewol was a Japanese cargo ship]

In fact, "Sewol" comes from Japan. It was called "Nagami" in Japan. This is a second-hand ship that Koreans bought from Japan. "Sewol" was used in Japan. 19 years later, it was sold to South Korea.

After the Sewol arrived in South Korea, South Korea urgently modified and inspected it, becoming the largest passenger ship in South Korea. It was named "Sewol" and put into use.

They had no intention of examining the "years". They just want the "Years" to be operational as soon as possible and profitable as soon as possible. He had no idea it would be the end of more than 300 lives.

【Conclusion】

Although the South Korean government has paid substantial compensation to the families of the victims. But it doesn't help that people can't be resurrected after death. The families certainly want a true and just verdict.

It is hoped that the Korean government will take responsibility for what happens in the future.
