Chengli Group in Flood Rescue: Heroes Write a New Chapter
In late July and early August of the Xin Chou year (2021), the central-northern part of Henan Province and Liulin Town of Suixian County, Hubei Province, successively experienced rare torrential rainstorms of a once-in-a-century scale. Among them, the rainfall in Zhengzhou, Zhongmou, Yanling, Hebi, Weihui, Xinxiang and many other cities, districts, counties and townships broke historical extremes since meteorological records began, with rainfall in the Zhengzhou urban area reaching 500-657 mm; rainfall in parts of Liulin Town, Suixian County, also exceeded 530 mm. The raging flood caused major losses to the lives and property of people in the disaster-stricken areas. Flood-relief supplies, personnel, vehicles and army officers and soldiers from across the country traveled day and night, braving wind and rain, to rush to the disaster areas for rescue and relief;
Upon learning of this news, Chengli Group swiftly organized rescue supplies, emergency rescue special vehicles and special equipment, and voluntary rescue teams, and urgently activated emergency measures. Undaunted by danger and risking life and limb, they bravely rushed to the front line of flood rescue and relief, moving across seven cities, districts, counties and townships in two provinces. In the later epidemic prevention and control battle, they likewise delivered a satisfactory answer, winning recognition and praise from governments, the public and the industry in various places. On August 30, Chengli Group held a grand commendation ceremony for the 15 advanced collectives and 61 flood-rescue heroes who took part in the flood rescue and relief work. The following is an excerpt of some on-the-spot comprehensive reports, to commemorate the selfless dedication and glorious image of the people's heroes.
Storms rage and banners flutter
2021 is destined to be another extraordinary year
Zhengzhou of Henan in the Central Plains, and Liulin of Suixian County in Hubei
History will forever remember the advanced deeds of those groups of civilian heroes
This year, at the turn of summer and autumn with no omen and no sign at all
A sudden rainstorm and flood disaster
in an instant swept across the vast fertile land of the Central Plains
Field paths became oceans, cities turned into marshes and rivers
In adjacent cities around Zhengzhou and many streets and lanes of Liulin
Urban telecommunications and public transport were disrupted, and roads collapsed
Tunnels were flooded, subways filled with water, and vehicles were damaged
Shops closed, schools suspended classes, and people lost contact or suffered casualties
The surrounding suburbs, counties and cities also suffered the ravages of the flood
The flood devoured farmland and crops, and waterlogging trapped livestock and villagers
At this moment of historic crisis
At a single command, the brave people's soldiers
with the spirit of fearing neither death nor difficulty and the determination to fear no hardship
put people's lives first in everything
and people's interests above all
The heroic officers and soldiers charged to the very front of the flood fight
In this great battle fought with all-out effort against the flood monster
The Chengli people, courageous, responsible and selfless, acted with speed and moved at the first sign of the flood
The red star shining over Chengli became a silent bugle
Cheng Aluo, a probationary member of the CPC
Qian Congcong, an outstanding CPC member and retired exemplary soldier
the director of the intelligent box truck plant and an applicant for Party membership
all set their sights on Henan at the same time
In Zhengzhou and its adjacent disaster-stricken areas
they drew the key points and set their aim
They clenched their fists and swung their arms
determined to organize voluntary rescue teams to rush to the front and battlefield of the flood fight
Facing this sudden test of life and death and extreme challenge
Chengli Group General Manager Cheng Aluo
drew on the experience summed up from last year's epidemic prevention and control
that is, to deal with disasters and difficulties
organizational measures must be effective, and decisions and actions must be resolute
must be fast, accurate and decisive, racing against time
He set up a core leading group for the flood rescue mission to Henan
personally commanded and participated
allocated funds, mobilized personnel and deployed equipment
commanding calmly like a general mapping strategy in the tent
constantly inspiring the warriors on the front line of flood rescue
In a moment, five small teams
with 61 volunteer Party members and young backbones
carrying a full heart of enthusiasm and childlike sincerity
their leaders
were respectively Team One leader Qian Congcong
Team Two leader Du Xinke
Team Three leader Bao Qingchun
Team Four leader Dong Shunguo
Team Five leader Cheng Jintao, deputy leader Deng Ligang, and chief conveners Liu Peilin and Jin Chunyan
along with dozens of ordinary employees who were as valiant as soldiers
loaded with rescue supplies and equipment, they advanced braving wind and rain
mighty and awe-inspiring, valiantly setting out
In just a few days, in Zhongmou and Yanling of Henan
Hebi, Xinxiang, Weihui, Zhengzhou, and Liulin of Suixian County
wherever there was danger, there was the figure of Chengli people bravely fighting the flood monster
wherever there was difficulty, there was the sincere, regret-free dedication of Chengli people
Draining water and relocating trapped people, we are together
Clearing and washing roads, we are together
Towing vehicles out of basements day and night, we are together
Washing bedding and uniforms for army officers and soldiers and fire rescue fighters, we are together
Visiting sanitation workers on the front line, we are together
Comforting police officers and people in difficulty, we are together
Supporting post-disaster reconstruction in the hometowns of Liulin and Hedian in Suixian County, Hubei, we are together
Donating two consecutive batches of relief supplies, including bottled water, instant noodles and computers
with fire-fighting water sprinkler trucks, we are together
Post-disaster reconstruction and voluntary community disinfection, we are together
All this is because we have the strong organization of the enterprise
and the unwavering, wholehearted support of the company's helmsman
In this great flood rescue and relief campaign
Chengli's elite special vehicle and emergency equipment products all made their debut
oil refueling trucks, power supply trucks, drainage trucks, road wrecker trucks, and truck-crane wrecker trucks
basement pickup tow trucks, washing and sweeping trucks, and disinfection and epidemic-prevention trucks each showed their capabilities
displaying stunning charm in the flood fight
Our flood-rescue volunteers
moved across seven cities and townships in Henan and Liulin of Suixian County, Hubei
fighting on the front line of the flood fight for more than ten consecutive days
when tired, they slept in vehicles or on floor bedding
when hungry, they gnawed on biscuits and instant noodles; when thirsty, they took a sip of bottled water
They are the true heroes of this era
They are the most admirable people around us
They have won the triumphant return of the flood fight!
