Jiang Shan turned her head to stare at the comrades beside her, their faces showed faint traces of exhaustion, but more of them were resolute and persevering in life.
At this moment, her thoughts involuntarily went back to that life-and-death moment 23 years ago, the heroic and fearless People's Liberation Army soldier who saved her from the flood several times regardless of her own safety - Wang Minghua.
It was this hero who gave her a second life and rekindled the flame of hope, giving her a precious opportunity to fight on the front lines of the fight against the epidemic today.
Jiang Shan took a deep breath of fresh air, then resolutely turned around and continued to move forward with firm steps. She is like a big tree that has been baptized by wind and rain but is still standing, with strong roots and vitality.
Back in 1998, on that hot summer night, Xiao Jiangshan and her family sat around the dining table to share dinner. On the dining table, there are fragrant hometown delicacies, filled with a strong family atmosphere. Mother and grandmother took a break by the stove and enjoyed the rare peace and comfort.
Suddenly, however, there was a rush of rain outside the window, followed by a raging wind and a torrential downpour. The family members couldn't help but look frightened, and an ominous premonition welled up in their hearts. "The rain seems to have been a little too long-lasting, and if it continues, we will probably suffer serious damage to our crops," said my grandmother worriedly. ”
Who would have thought that this sudden rainstorm would trigger a catastrophic flood rarely seen in a century. When the family learned the news, they immediately fell into a panic and began to pack their bags and prepare to evacuate their homes. However, at this moment, the power supply in the room suddenly cuts off, and the entire house is plunged into endless darkness.
The mother hurriedly wrapped her arms around her sister and younger brother, and the grandmother hugged the young Jiang Shan tightly, and the whole family groped their way forward in the dark, trying to find a way out.
Just as they had just climbed a ridge, the deafening sound of water and the howling wind suddenly descended, swallowing their mother, sister and brother and disappearing into the night.
Jiang Shan and her grandmother struggled in the turbulent current, and finally grabbed a poplar branch with their tenacious will, barely maintaining the last ray of life.
Xiao Jiangshan hugged the poplar trunk tightly, her whole body was weak, and it was even difficult to open her eyes.
The dark night was like a long voyage, seemingly endless, but when the dawn broke in the east and dawn was approaching, Jiang Shan felt that her physical strength was on the verge of collapse.
Just as she was on the verge of despair, there was a sudden burst of exciting shouts and the roar of motors in front of her! It turned out that it was a group of heavily armed armed police soldiers who quickly arrived at the scene of the accident in several assault boats.
"Kid, please hold on a little longer! Our rescue team is rushing here with all their might, and the uncles will be able to rescue you in no time!" one of the fighters, Wang Minghua, shouted. He clutched the fishing net in his hand and tried his best to free Jiang Shan from the tree, but unfortunately, the branches were too delicate for the net to fully protect her.
After the failure of the first attempt, Wang Minghua did not hesitate to adjust his strategy and decided to personally wade into the water to rescue Jiang Shan. He carefully steered the direction of the assault boat to slowly move it closer to the poplar tree where Jiang Shan was, and then stretched out his arms to try to lift her down from the tree.
However, at this moment, Jiang Shan was exhausted and couldn't grab his arm.
At this critical moment of life and death, Wang Minghua resolutely took off his life jacket and jumped into the surging flood! He swam towards the poplar tree with all his might, and finally succeeded in holding Jiang Shan tightly in his arms.
They spun through the rapids, slowly returning to the safety of the assault boat.
Jiang Shan lay weakly on the boat, gasping for breath, her eyes empty and confused.
After Jiang Shan was successfully rescued, she looked around with a blurred gaze, desperate to find her relatives. Wherever she turned, however, she was greeted only by the tumbling floodwaters and the busy figures of rescuers, but her mother, sister, brother and grandmother were never found.
Just as she was in a hurry, a staff member approached her with a list and whispered, "I'm very sorry, but according to this list of victims, your family ...... All of them have unfortunately died. ”
Hearing this news, Jiang Shan felt as if she had suffered a thunderbolt from the sky, and her eyes were dark, and she almost fainted. She lost her once warm and happy home, and also lost her dearest family, and has since become a lonely orphan.
Thankfully, Jiang Shan's father was working in another school at the time, and her sister was studying at another school, and the sisters were able to save their lives.
When the plight of Jiang Shan and her family drew a national spotlight, a generous and benevolent man stepped forward and generously offered the sisters free admission to a prestigious senior high school in Beijing until they completed college.
Faced with this opportunity, Jiang Shan's father resolutely chose to accept it.
So, Jiang Shan and her sister embarked on a journey to the capital Beijing, where they began their school career. Despite the hardships of life and the fact that my father barely supported the family by earning a meager income from part-time work, their lives remained calm and stable.
However, fate is always full of dramatic changes. One autumn day in 2008, Jiang Shan's father was unfortunately diagnosed with cancer and passed away shortly after.
On his deathbed, his father held Jiang Shan's hands tightly and told him with all his might: "Shanshan, you must study hard, become a soldier or a people's policeman in the future, and know how to repay the kindness of society and others." ”
These words were like a heavy hammer, deeply hitting Jiang Shan's young and innocent heart.
Her father's last words before his death became the unquenchable flame in Jiang Shan's heart, leading her through one difficult and tortuous life path after another. In order to realize her dream of becoming a police officer, she studied diligently and finally succeeded in being admitted to the police academy.
After several years of hard training, Jiang Shan finally put on a brand-new railway police uniform and became a glorious people's policeman. Over the years, she has always remembered the brave and fearless Wang Minghua soldier in her heart and regarded him as her role model and example.
In 2020, a sudden new crown epidemic swept the whole of China and even the world. As a front-line police officer, Jiang Shan has a deep affection for the motherland and the people, and without hesitation, she submitted a petition and decided to go to the front line of the fight against the epidemic to face the challenge of the virus.
At this moment, a variety show gave her the honor to reunite with Wang Minghua again. That nightmare night 23 years ago feels like yesterday. When Jiang Shan saw the familiar figure appear in front of her, tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes.
It was this PLA soldier who, regardless of his personal safety, repeatedly reached out to help, and finally rescued her from the raging floods, giving her hope of rebirth.
Today, they are fighting side by side on the front line of the fight against the epidemic, jointly guarding the lives of the country and the people.
The two looked at each other, sharing the pleasure of the moment, solemnly and solemnly raised their right hands, and performed a rigorous military salute. They looked at each other silently, conveying the endless emotion of the past year and the present day and the indescribable sense of glory with their eyes.
As an ordinary soldier, I feel extremely proud and proud of our motherland and people!" Wang Minghua said excitedly.
"Indeed, if it weren't for your bravery back then, I'm afraid I would have been dead in the world. Jiang Shan replied with emotion.
Standing in the pouring rain, Jiang Shan took a deep breath and let the rain slide down her cheeks. Recalling the flood 23 years ago, she had lost everything: a warm home, a dear family, a carefree childhood, and even a point of despair.
However, it was that life-and-death test that forged her brave and resolute qualities and led her to find a new starting point in life.
Today, Jiang Shan has become a brave and fearless people's policeman, with a grateful heart, unswervingly guarding the safety of the country and the people.
No matter in the face of floods or epidemics, she always stood up without hesitation and interpreted the noble mission of "servant of the people" with practical actions.
Her life journey has gone through the trials of life and death, through hardships and obstacles, and finally reached the other side of her dream. From accepting assistance from others to becoming a rescuer, Jiang Shan has passed on this noblest spirit, inspiring and touching everyone around her with practical actions.
In the face of various challenges in life, she never chose to back down, but moved forward with stronger willpower. It is this spirit of tenacious struggle that makes a once helpless little girl eventually grow into a big tree that stands tall and stands forever.
