In 2020, China suffered the worst flood situation since 1998. The year of decisive victory and the year of responding to the epidemic, the flood situation and disaster affect people's hearts.
"Adhere to the supremacy of the people and the supremacy of life" "Do our best to ensure the safety of the people's lives and property"... At the time when the situation of flood prevention and disaster relief in the country was the most critical, General Secretary Xi Jinping repeatedly studied and deployed and made important instructions.
At that time, Anhui was one of the provinces with the worst flood conditions.
On August 19, 2020, on the embankment of Chaohu Lake, the battle flag was hunting, the flood control sandbags could not be seen at a glance, and the front-line personnel of flood prevention and disaster relief and the officers and men of the troops who still insisted on the front line lined up neatly. The families of the three sacrificed comrades stood at the front of the line. Among them was the family of Chen Lu, a political instructor of the Lujiang County Fire rescue brigade.
General Secretary Xi Jinping looked solemn and stepped forward to greet the families of the three sacrificed comrades one by one. He said affectionately: "Your relatives are also our relatives, the relatives of the motherland and the people, and they are the heroes in our hearts." ”

On July 22, Chen Lu, who was only 36 years old, died heroically. On this day, the Shidaxu flood control levee in Lujiang County, Anhui Province, was torn open by the flood and 6,500 villagers were trapped by the flood. At that time, Lujiang County suffered a flood disaster once in a century, and Chen Lu, who had been fighting in the front line of flood control for several days and nights, once again gathered a team to rescue.
The No. 1 boat piloted by him "nodding" suddenly overturned when the water level gap of more than 3 meters overturned, and he was swept into a raging torrent...
Emergency management fights risks, disasters and accidents, and is on duty 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and may face extreme situations and life and death tests at any time. In the more than three years since the establishment of the Ministry of Emergency Management, a total of 146 emergency management cadres and fire commanders and fighters have been killed in the line of duty.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the 19th collective study of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee: "Emergency management has the characteristics of high load, high pressure and high risk, and the emergency rescue team has made a lot of contributions and sacrifices, and all parties should care about and support this team and enhance the sense of professional honor and attractiveness." ”
This is the entrustment and cordial care from General Secretary Xi Jinping.
"The national fire rescue team must be loyal to the party, strictly disciplined, go to the soup and fight the fire, wholeheartedly serve the people, charge ahead when the people need it most, save the people from water and fire, help the people in danger, give strength to the people, and fight heroically to safeguard the safety of the people's lives and property." Under the guidance of General Secretary Xi Jinping, the "emergency responder" is taking on the mission of sacrificing others, striving to resolve one major risk after another, winning one hard battle after another, and fully escorting the new journey of great rejuvenation.
