"Although I will feel a little scared when I look back later, if I had to do it all over again and let me make a choice, I would still stop the car, because at the moment of life and death, if you hesitate for a second, more people will be in distress!"
The old man in front of him who is over sixty years old is called Huang Jiandu, and during the May Day holiday in 2024, a landslide accident occurred on the Meida Expressway.
After Huang Jiandu discovered the danger, in order to save the vehicles behind him, he reminded them to stop quickly. Regardless of the danger, he knelt in the middle of the road and saved many families with his thin body.
Recalling the frightening scene at that time, Huang Jiandu was scared, but he didn't regret it.
So what happened at that time? What made Huang Jiandu decide to kneel down and stop the car?
Let's find out!
1. A special trip home
Huang Jiandu's hometown is in Qingxi Town, Meizhou, Guangdong.
However, since his daughter settled in Shenzhen, he and his wife also went to Shenzhen, and this time when he returned to his hometown to visit relatives, it has been several years since he last returned to his hometown.
It happened to be the May Day holiday, and the family set off on the evening of April 30 in order to rush home to reunite.
In addition to Huang Jiandu and his wife, as well as his daughter and son-in-law, Huang Jiandu's two grandsons and his own mother were also in the same car.
A large family, riding in a business car, everyone talked and laughed along the way.
The whole journey is more than 300 kilometers, and when I get home, it is already early in the morning.
Because it was driving at night, when Huang Jiandu first set off, he told his son-in-law to be careful and slow and pay attention to safety.
As soon as he thought that he was going to meet his father-in-law, Huang Jiandu couldn't help but be happy in his heart.
At the beginning, the two children chatted non-stop, and the family chatted lively, but as the night came, except for the son-in-law who was driving, everyone else in the car gradually fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing that the early hours of the morning had passed, they were about to arrive home, but Huang Jiandu's son-in-law, Rao Yi, who was driving, found that a large shadow appeared on the road ahead.
He thought it was stagnant water, but it had been raining for days.
So he kicked the accelerator and drove into the fast lane on the side, thinking about driving over quickly.
As a result, he didn't expect his move, but it almost put their family of seven in danger.
Because the black shadow that Rao saw was not the water on the road, but the road surface that had collapsed.
Fortunately, Rao's driving skills were good, and he kept stepping on the accelerator at that time, which caused them not to fall, but to rise with the vehicle and rush through the collapsed road just now.
The loud sound of the car falling heavily woke up all the people in the car at once.
At first, they didn't think that they had encountered a road collapse, but thought that they had accidentally crashed and had a traffic accident.
After all, it's early in the morning, and driving at night is easy to get tired, and the vision is far less clear than during the day.
The family stabilized their minds and hurriedly got out of the car to check the situation.
In an instant, Huang Jiandu's son-in-law, Rao Yi, was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Only then did he realize that the black shadow he saw, where was the road covered with water, turned out to be a landslide, if he didn't rush to the time of the landslide, slammed on the accelerator and drove over, but drove at a normal speed, then now they would not be the aftermath of the disaster, but would have fallen with people and cars.
Immediately after, a scene that made him feel terrifying appeared.
I saw that the vehicles driving behind them all disappeared from sight "out of thin air".
Of course, this is not some supernatural phenomenon, not the expected "crossing" event, but the drivers of these vehicles, who, like Rao Yi, mistook the shadow of the road collapse for the water on the road on a rainy day.
In a short time, several vehicles fell.
At this time, in addition to Rao Yi's mother staying in the car to take care of the children, Huang Jiandu and his wife and daughter also got out of the car to check the situation.
Like Rao Yi, they all felt very frightened and worried when they saw the vehicle in front of them fall under the collapsed road section.
The entire road surface collapsed, but it didn't attract everyone's attention.
What to do?
At first, they not only turned on the double flashing of the car, but also turned on the flashlight of their mobile phone, and kept shaking towards the car behind them, trying to remind them to pay attention to safety.
However, their actions, in the eyes of the rear driver, did not seem to realize that the family was reminding them to pay attention to safety, but instead regarded it as a call for help from them.
The night is dark and windy, and it is still early in the morning, plus the May Day holiday, everyone is like an arrow.
What's more, stop in the early hours of the morning to ask about the situation, if you meet a good person, or if you really need help, it's okay to say, but what if it's someone with bad intentions?
Apparently, the driver behind did not pay attention to them, and vehicles continued to fall into the collapsed road.
When Huang Jiandu saw this scene, he was anxious.
He knows that most of the vehicles that are still driving on the road in the early morning are like him, thinking about driving home for reunion during the May Day holiday, but if they can't stop stopping, then it will not be reunited at home, it is very likely that the family will be separated from yin and yang from now on, and a good holiday will become a pain that the family does not dare to mention.
So Huang Jiandu didn't have time to think about it, he suddenly stepped over the middle barrier of the two-way lane, and then came to the side of the road that did not collapse.
He had to put himself at risk to alert the vehicles behind him!
2. A kneeling that is a matter of life and death
After seeing the accident at that time, Huang Jiandu's daughter Huang Manqiu hurriedly took out her mobile phone and called the police.
And the phone call she broadcast was also the first police call received by the relevant departments after the collapse accident.
Seeing the vehicles behind them falling one after another, no matter how they reminded them, they didn't attract people's attention, Huang Manqiu was so anxious that he cried.
She shivered and waved her phone in the rain, hoping that the light would alert the vehicles behind her.
But what appeared in front of her was still one car after another, thinking that there was a waterlogged road in front of her, and she stepped on the accelerator, and then disappeared into the deep pit of the collapse in an instant.
It was also at this time that Huang Manqiu suddenly discovered that his father, who was originally standing with him, was gone.
Where did my father go? She hurriedly searched around.
She noticed that her father was walking back, and she instantly understood what he meant, he wanted to get close to the vehicles behind him to warn the drivers who had not yet noticed the danger.
It's too dangerous!
Huang Manqiu was so anxious that she kept shouting at her father's back: "Dad, come back quickly!" It's too dangerous! ”
But Huang Jiandu didn't seem to hear it, he was like a righteous and awe-inspiring soldier who carried a gun to charge into battle, and at that moment, Huang Jiandu's thin image also became extremely tall.
"Don't drive any further! There's a collapse ahead! Huang Jiandu waved his hands as he walked, and shouted in the direction where the vehicle was coming from.
However, it was raining outside, the wind was still blowing strongly, and noise was also essential during the driving of the vehicle, so even if he tried his best and shouted at the top of his voice, the vehicle behind him still didn't hear it.
What should I do? Huang Jiandu was so anxious that he was about to cry.
Seeing another car falling, Huang Jiandu's heart was about to break, and when he thought of another family accident, he decided that no matter what, he would be able to save one another.
How to save it? In a hurry, Huang Jiandu didn't have time to think about it at all, only to see him come to the middle of the road that had not collapsed, then straightened up and knelt down suddenly.
Huang Jiandu was still holding a glowing mobile phone in his hand, and the vehicles behind saw him kneeling, especially kneeling in the middle of the road, and everyone didn't dare to step on the accelerator and drive forward.
After all, in the middle of the night, a big living person knelt on the road, who knows what the situation is?
Seeing his father kneeling on the road, Huang Manqiu was so anxious that he cried, if any driver didn't have long eyes and rushed over with one foot on the accelerator, then what would happen to Huang Jiandu, how could she, as a daughter, not worry?
But happily, Huang Jiandu knelt down and really stopped a vehicle that was about to fall.
However, although the car stopped, the driver opened the window and roared at Huang Jiandu: "In the middle of the night, you don't want to die?" ”
Huang Jiandu didn't get up, he continued to kneel in the middle of the road, and told the driver: "There is a collapse ahead!" You don't want to go over! ”
Hearing Huang Jiandu's words, the driver realized that he had been saved by this old man kneeling on the ground.
He hurriedly got out of the car, apologized to Huang Jiandu, and helped Huang Jiandu stop the car together.
At this time, under the deep pit of the landslide, there were already calls for help and wails, and the hearts of the people were all together.
Fortunately, after Huang Jiandu successfully stopped the first car, another car soon stopped.
Huang Jiandu finally breathed a sigh of relief, because under his reminder, there was finally no vehicle to continue to move forward.
3. Immediately participate in the rescue as soon as you get up
It can be said that Huang Jiandu's family was the first to discover the landslide, and at the same time, their family was the first to start reminding and rescuing.
If Huang Jiandu's family is selfish, they did not consider the vehicles behind them for the rest of their lives, but drove the car away, then the collapse of the Meida Expressway this time will definitely be more serious.
It was only with everyone's concerted efforts that there were finally no more vehicles driving forward, and Huang Jiandu was relieved.
But he didn't have time to rest, because there were so many people under the pit, and one could be saved, to put it bluntly, before professional rescue arrived, all they could do as ordinary people was to race against death and time.
At this time, some people in distress began to slowly climb up the slope from the bottom of the pit, and these people were relatively lucky, because they were all like Huang Jiandu's family for the rest of their lives.
Huang Jiandu's family went up to greet them, they took out the water, food, and fled from the car, and at the same time handed their mobile phones to those who had rescued themselves, asking them to quickly call home to report their safety.
Originally, Huang Jiandu's two grandsons were sitting in the car with their grandmother, but such a big thing happened, they naturally couldn't continue to stay in the car, this family is kind people, two children who are still in junior high school, will bring the children in distress together, see that some children are injured, they will go over to hold the umbrella, while comforting warmly.
Later, seeing that the professional rescuers felt the scene, Huang Jiandu did not leave his name, and their whole family did good deeds without leaving their names, and left quickly.
It wasn't until a few days later that Huang Jiandu's family began to contact him with the fermentation of Internet popularity, hoping to interview him.
Facing the camera, Huang Jiandu's words are very simple and very moving.
"These are nothing, and I believe that in that situation, anyone would have done that."
But in fact, we all know that not all people can do what Huang Jiandu did.
Huang Manqiu said that she was very scared when she saw her father kneeling down to stop the car at the beginning, but she was also excited to see her father successfully stop the first car, because her father was her hero!
Huang Jiandu said that he was actually very guilty that he was unable to save more people after discovering the collapse.
He remembered that after stopping the first car and learning that the house had collapsed, the people in the car walked down and knelt down towards him, saying thank you non-stop.
Because only those who have experienced it know how different the meaning of Huang Jiandu's kneeling is, because if it weren't for Huang Jiandu, there would be more families on that rainy night, looking forward to the day of family reunion, and from then on, yin and yang will be separated.
4. The Meida high-speed collapse, and these heroes are worth remembering!
In addition to Huang Jiandu, after the collapse of the Meida Expressway, there was also Wang Xiangnan, a cold-chain truck driver who disregarded the danger and crossed the vehicle to stop the vehicle behind him.
He and his wife worked together, and the couple stopped a total of forty or fifty cars, and behind these vehicles, it also meant that they saved forty or fifty families!
and Liu Yongjin and Cai Xuanda, who risked their lives and went down to the deep pit of the collapse to rescue.
With the help of the faint light of their mobile phones, they rescued six people from the deep pit one after another.
Among them, Cai Xuanda is the owner of the second car that was stopped by Huang Jiandu kneeling.
He originally thought that Huang Jiandu had something wrong, kneeling in the middle of the highway at night, but after learning the truth, he was grateful to Huang Jiandu, and after he participated in the rescue, he rushed to Huang Jiandu's home to thank him during the May Day holiday, after all, the grace of saving lives will never be forgotten!
Looking back on the accident of the Meida Expressway collapse, it was Huang Jiandu, Wang Xiangnan and other heroes who bravely stood up at these critical moments to save a large number of families and lives at the first time after the accident!
They deserve to be remembered by history!
