Ten years ago, a deep disaster let the world remember Yingxiu, remember Wenchuan. As a reporter, I went into Yingxiu and Dujiangyan. Ten years later, I came to Yingxiu again, to Wenchuan, the mood is inexpressible.
People always love to say, time will wash away everything. I also thought that with the passage of time, many things will be forgotten. But when I walked into the town of Yingxiu with a batch and a batch of commemorators, I found that I was wrong, the scene of the year abruptly came through. Standing in the 5-12 earthquake memorial hall, listening to the narrator's story, thoughts flying; looking at the whirlpool mouth secondary school earthquake site of the eternal crack bell, ten years ago, as a movie replay of bits and pieces of one scene after another appeared. Originally, those carved into the mind of the fragment is not easy to erase the marks.
This is a few words in the diary of that year a sight to provide me with the wreckage of the wall, the building collapsed bridge broken, aftershocks flying stones, all over the place, tens of thousands of compatriots life was instantly taken away from the life of the once-beautiful home was instantly razed to the ruins of the false, the people in the panic and sadness waiting for help ......
I remember that soon after the earthquake, the newspaper sent a group of journalists to the most seriously affected "three rivers", that is, Beichuan, Qingchuan, Wenchuan. I was in this group was originally to the epicenter of Yingxiu to go. Inevitably, because the road into Wenchuan is seriously damaged, we had to look at the road sigh, turn back to go to Dujiangyan. I remember when the political commissar of the Dujiangyan People's Armed Forces surnamed Xiong, he led us first to the Lotus Pond market (sound). But see the dust, excavators, bulldozers and other large construction vehicles in the collapsed building rubble heap busy. Everywhere we went, the devastation was heartbreaking. The original 5, 6-story building, collapsed and transformed into a layer. In the crowd, from time to time, some affected people cried to us, saying that their loved ones were still buried in the rubble. All we could do was to comfort them. Thinking about it now, how pale and powerless the words seemed at that time. We made stops at Dujiangyan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Juyuan Middle School, and those heartbreaking cries made me shed tears more than once. To this day, those sad images still linger.
The 100th day after the earthquake, I set out on the road to Yingxiu with two other colleagues from the newspaper. We were a little silent on the way, staring out of the car window and looking up at the mountains to guard against rocks flying down. After the road, newly paved with asphalt, the road surface is much smoother than before. The mountains are still so high, only the original green mountains surrounded by trauma due to the earthquake, everywhere exposed to the collapse of the mountain. All the way to see the local government, the army and rescue units to play the "one side in trouble, eight parties to support" "earthquake relief, watch and help" "self-reliance, rebuild their homes" and other banners, red background and white letters, very eye-catching. White letters on a red background, very eye-catching, giving people a shock of strength and warmth. When we arrived at Yingxiu Town, we saw that all the houses in the town had collapsed, and people's expressions were gloomy. In the town, there were many soldiers and rescuers in camouflage uniforms, and the blue flat houses were arranged in an orderly manner. In the town, there was only a narrow road, the so-called road was the aisle in the middle of the flatbed houses and some temporary stores set up by tents, which were mostly daily necessities in the daily life. There, we met He Wei, then political commissar of the Jinchuan County People's Armed Forces Department. He political commissar introduced, they in Yingxiu disaster relief has been three months, during the period of countless thrilling events. Their main task there was to level the site in order to build more boarding houses to house the affected people. We saw some large heavy construction vehicles busy halfway up the mountain and along the riverbed. I remember that Political Commissar He led our group to climb up a hill in the mud, and looking down from above, the whole town of Yingxiu was in ruins, and over the dead city, only the bright red flag on the school playground was fluttering in the wind, which made people feel the vitality and see the hope. This image has always been deep in the mind, I think, this scene I can never forget.
Lifting the eyes has been a thousand mountains green. 10 years later, nirvana huge change - Yingxiu's new street, tourists like weaving; Shuimo's campus, full of vitality; Qiangzhai's Nongjiale, business is booming ......? We followed in the Wenchuan County People's Armed Forces Department Liang political commissar behind, through the long corridor behind the Earthquake Memorial Museum, along the stone steps all the way, the wind in the face, the colorful peony flowers bloomed all over the hillside. Smell the fragrance in the air, overlooking the mountains surrounded by Yingxiu town, can not help but feel: today's Yingxiu people are like this colorful peony flowers, strong, beautiful, exuberant!
In Wenchuan County, a stay in the hotel room, placed a cultural tourism book "heaven and earth Yingxiu", on which I saw a lot of folklore about Yingxiu. The stories are vivid and bright, reflecting the living customs of the ancient Qiang people, but also showing the characteristics of modern life. In "Yingxiu of Heaven and Earth", the origin of the name "Yingxiu" is introduced at the beginning. According to legend, the origin of Yingxiu is very special. It is said that when Dayu ruled over the water, he created a heavenly scene and magical landscape in Yingxiu with his heavenly work, and wrote eight big characters on the Qingfeng Cliffs: "The Sun Reflects on the Dragon Pool, and Xiu opens up the Heaven and Earth". According to the book, Yingxiu's name also comes from the meaning of heaven. Yingxiu is surrounded by rivers and mountains that are blessed with natural resources, and there are two powerful rivers flowing past her. One is the Minjiang River and the other is the Yuzhixi River. In addition to that, she has 26 mountain streams and rivers, and those two rivers with 26 streams of water, flying down from the high mountains and cascading down to the bottom of the basin, form an unparalleled and peculiar scene. These two rivers and 26 mountain streams and rivers together to form a 28-way water flow, and this 28-way water flow and coincides with the 28 stars in the sky, thus confirming - Yingxiu is the gift of heaven.
When the sun rises, the lake surface is irradiated by sunlight, and the whole lake shines with golden light, and the lake water is like a mirror, not moving at all. When the sun sets, the lake reflects the round sunset and the sky full of sunshine. At this time, people will see a colorful sun god bird flying out of the water in the middle of the lake, heading straight for the long sky. What is this scene?
Heaven and earth reflecting the show, just like its name: "mountains and water, beautiful scenery". Such a paradise on earth, who does not yearn for it?
10 years have passed, once the hurt and grief, has been transformed into self-improvement, gratitude and vision. 10 years, the earthquake area from the instant zero to nirvana, from the destruction to a new life. In this land where mountains and rivers were once shattered, life has started afresh in the struggle. "The disaster area has become a scenic spot, and homes have become gardens." Today's Wenchuan, has long risen in love, whether it is urban construction, living environment, industrial development or people's spiritual outlook have been revitalized. After the nirvana rebirth of the earthquake area let us feel - Yingxiu is a resurrection of the town, Wenchuan is a resurrection of the city.
In Wenchuan, as far as the eye can see, the five-star red flag can be seen fluttering in the wind. Here, the five-star red flag is not only a sign and symbol of the motherland, but also a kind of gratitude to the party and the country, to the people of the country, a kind of "strong motherland, people's well-being" spiritual belief.
"Our parents gave us our first life, the motherland and the people gave us our second life." Dressed in gorgeous Qiang clothing, Yingxiu Town, Xuankou Middle School site interpreter Yang Yingchun said the earthquake and today's life, seem particularly excited. 2008, the earthquake, Yang Yingchun's family was buried in the rubble in the already desperate time, is the rescue forces rushed to the rescue forces across the country will be her family out. Yang Yingchun said that 10 years later, she still can't forget those who have rescued them, in addition to thanksgiving, or thanksgiving. She told us that today she is very proud to be an earthquake site interpreter.
Not only Yang Yingchun, from every random interview of the mouth of the Wenchuan people, can be heard "gratitude" "thank you" and other words. Over the past ten years, the idea of "gratitude to the motherland, gratitude to the aid, gratitude to the community, gratitude to compatriots, gratitude to the family" and the action of "knowing, remembering, thanking, repaying" have built up a spiritual system of gratitude that has nourished the hearts of Wenchuan people, and has become the most qualitatively important part of the lives of the people of Wenchuan today. The most important thing to remember is that the people of Wenchuan have the most simple emotions in their lives.
Early in the morning, walking through the streets and alleys of Wenchuan, all the way to the ear of music into the ear drums. It is said that April on earth, this is the most fascinating season of the year, the grass grows and warblers fly, the flowers are red and green, people enjoy the fresh air, enjoy the warm sunshine. In Wenchuan County, an emergency shelter square, people in groups of three to five, with the cheerful beat, some dancing fitness, some in the uneven bars on the fly, there is a citizen, written "Guangdong aid" in front of the "Thanksgiving" monument, the fish leaps and tumbles, doing a variety of inverted movements. There was also a citizen who was doing various kinds of handstands in front of the "Thanksgiving" monument. I randomly talked to a few older men, and they said the word "gratitude" the most. A middle-aged man wearing glasses surnamed Wang frankly told me that every Wenchuan people who experienced the earthquake have endless stories, that is to say three days and three nights, can not be said. For that disaster, has been reluctant to think back, after all, is a painful memory. We are no longer sad and difficult to suppress, no longer tears filled with eyes, living people should cherish the beauty of the moment. All we can do now is to start a new life, exercise good health, and live happily every day.
Known as "the market on the clouds," Yanmen Township Radish Walled City, an ancient Qiang village with a history of more than 4,500 years, was almost leveled in the "5-12" earthquake, and became a "lonely island of life. The earthquake was almost leveled in the "5-12" earthquake, becoming an "isolated island of life". We walked into this cottage, the mood is extraordinarily happy. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the yellow mud buildings are scattered in clusters, appearing particularly exquisite mood. The new cottage is less than a kilometer away from the old cottage restored and rebuilt. Closer to scrutinize the rows of brand new houses, the corner of the house with Qiangzhai unique stone watchtower decoration, windows and door frames inlaid with totem patterns, and once the biggest difference between the houses is that the yellow mud inside the reinforced concrete structure can resist a magnitude 8 earthquake. See our arrival, the villagers are very excited, scrambling to introduce: "in the party and the people's sons and daughters of the soldiers' care and support, we not only moved into a new home, but also by engaging in the tourism industry and planting and other ways to get rich, to help support us to the money bags are bulging up." It is understood that nowadays, the radish cottage new cottage families are engaged in the agricultural music, during the holidays, tourists like weaving, business is very hot. In addition to tourism, sweet cherry has also become one of the pillar industries of turnip village, now has nearly 400 acres of scale.
The love of the world and the gratitude of the people of Wenchuan have been the driving force and source of the people of Wenchuan.
Early lights, nightfall. Adjacent to the Thanksgiving Square is the rushing Minjiang River. Walking along the riverside, western Sichuan residential, Tibetan style, Qiang-style buildings intermingled, modern style venues, a wide range of stores, a building rich in national characteristics of the residents of the houses along the Minjiang River, Fisherman's Creek, neatly arranged, hanging in the face of the people is not only a happy smile, more is optimistic and strong. Yes, after the vicissitudes of suffering, people know a truth: there is a struggle with self-confidence, there is a struggle, there is hope, there is hope, there is happiness!
The May flowers bloom all over the earth, the beautiful Wenchuan is in front of us!
