"I am a native of Hanjiabu Village, familiar with the river situation, the water is good, the only idea is to do my best, never let the flood flood down." Gu Jianxiang said that at that time, he was unusually firm in the face of the dissuasion of people around him, "Even if there is danger, I will not blame others, I am willing to do this." ”
"The danger was too critical, I didn't think so much when I jumped into the water, everyone was throwing sandbags, and I did what I could." On August 12, at the Hanbu Culvert in Meijiabu Street, Linyi Economic and Technological Development Zone, Gu Jianxiang, 69, said that his actions were very relaxed and indifferent.
Seeing that the flood was about to flood the floodgates, Gu Jianxiang jumped into the river
At 13:00 on August 11, the flow of The Yihe Linyi Station reached 8400 cubic meters per second, and the water surface of the Fenyi River into Shu river rose by more than 4 meters, and the maximum discharge volume reached 3500 cubic meters per second. Danger is command. Meijiabu Street organized the establishment of a rescue team composed of 19 villages, more than 300 party members and cadres and volunteers, in addition to the spontaneous masses, when the number of people involved in the rescue reached more than 600 people, Gu Jianxiang was the most heroic one in the crowd.
"At noon, I heard the village cadres say that there was a dangerous situation in the culvert gate, and I came with a shovel." Gu Jianxiang said that when he came to the embankment, the cadres in the district, the streets and the village, as well as many villagers, were rushing to the rescue, and the water level was already very high at that time, and if the flood gate could not be closed in time, once the flood was poured down, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"At that time, the gate was close to closing, but the water level was still rising, the sandbags thrown down were washed away, and seeing that the flood was about to flood through the gate, Gu Jianxiang jumped into the river." Zhao Fengqing, member of the Meijiabu Subdistrict Party Working Committee and director of the Liaison Office of cppcc members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said that Gu Jianxiang grasped a few sandbags with both hands to form a solid foundation, and everyone took the opportunity to quickly fill the sandbags into the river, and finally closed the floodgates and blocked the floodwaters that were poured in. During the nearly two-hour rescue process, Gu Jianxiang jumped into the river 3 times in a row, while investigating the water situation and reinforcing the sand pile.
I don't blame anyone else even if something goes wrong, I'm willing to do that
In the 1950s, as a key national water conservancy project, the "Fenyi into Shu" waterway was excavated between the Yihe River and the Shuhe River, so as to realize the eastward diversion of the flood waters of the Yihe and Shuhe rivers to the south, shorten the distance into the sea, and comprehensively solve the flood exit of Lunan and Northern Jiangsu. According to the old people in the village, the last time such a large flood occurred was in 1974, when the river was poured back and the grain harvest was cut off, and the houses in the village were flooded and the losses were heavy.
"Later, they told me that the last person to pull me up was Secretary Chen in our district." Gu Jianxiang sighed, "Our leaders at all levels are on the embankment with us to fight floods and rescue dangers, I didn't have anything to worry about at that time, fortunately, the gate was closed in time." ”
In front of him is the deep and rapid river, behind which are the neighboring villagers who live together day and night, this ordinary Shandong Hanzi touched everyone with the most simple and greatest action at a critical moment. In the next few days, Gu Jianxiang will also guard the culvert gate with the villagers, waiting for the flood to recede, and they will open the culvert gate for the first time to discharge the flood to minimize the loss caused by the waterlogging.
