Put people’s life safety first.
At 6 o’clock on the 4th, the main leaders of Liaoning Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government rushed to the Provincial Defense Command Center to hold a meeting on flood control and flood fighting. At the meeting, the person in charge of Anshan Municipal Committee asked for support: the torrential rain caused the road power of eight villages in Xiuyan to be interrupted, and three of them formed islands. The situation was grim, and troops and helicopters were requested for support!
"People’s life safety must be put in the first place!" After learning about this situation, the main leaders of the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government immediately led a team to Xiuyan to guide flood control and disaster relief. On the morning of the same day, six helicopters and pontoon troops went to the hardest hit area to rescue the people trapped by the flood and get through the isolated island disaster relief channel.
Luquanzi Village in longtan town, a remote Manchu Autonomous County in Xiuyan, was once disconnected from the outside world for 12 hours in this catastrophic flood, and the safety of more than 3,200 people in 20 residential groups in the village touched the hearts of all walks of life. "Almost all the seven bridges that went out in the village were broken." Hu Yingquan, the village party secretary, recalled afterwards.
What Hu Yingquan didn’t expect was that after 17: 00 pm on the 4 th, public security, fire fighting and various rescue organizations successively entered the village.
Wang Dayong, chief of the training section of Xiuyan County Public Security Fire Brigade, said that at 15: 30 pm on the 4th, 50 fire officers and soldiers from Anshan and Panjin came to support them, carrying rescue equipment, and headed for Lujuanzi Village on foot. The road was interrupted and we had to walk through the cornfields. Fire officers and soldiers are connected by thick ropes in groups of 5, and move forward. "The mud is so deep that I can hardly pull my feet out, and I have encountered several rolling stones." Wang Dayong said that after more than five hours of trekking, the fire officers and soldiers came to the village branch of Luquanzi, which was already in the evening. After arriving at the village branch, they learned that the vast majority of villagers were safe, and there were still two more remote villagers’ groups that were not checked. The rescue team checked these two villagers’ groups overnight to ensure safety, and then withdrew from Lujuanzi Village the next day.
Before the rain, Dalian zhuanghe city conducted a thorough investigation on reservoirs, offshore operations, key areas prone to mountain torrents, mudslides and geological disasters, dangerous sections of rivers and various water conservancy projects, closed nine tourist attractions in the city, arranged special personnel to be responsible for the elderly, the sick, the five-guarantee households and the low-guarantee households, and strictly guarded the weak links such as seawalls and moisture-proof dikes to ensure the safety of people’s lives and property.
If the flood does not recede, the cadres will not withdraw.
According to preliminary statistics, the torrential rain affected 358,000 people in Xiuyan County and 25,000 people in zhuanghe city. The province has transferred and resettled more than 150,000 people.
It is better to believe in it than to believe in it; It’s better to believe it’s big than it’s small. This is the principle repeatedly emphasized by Liaoning before this torrential rain. Governments at all levels have built the "lifeline" of the people with responsibility and responsibility.
"2-3 days before the rainstorm, all the notices on TV, SMS and WeChat were about to rain heavily. Until the rainstorm, the big speakers in the village kept broadcasting to let us transfer." Wang Shaomin, a 40-year-old villager, said, "On the evening of the 3rd, the village went to the village branch to take shelter from the rain." He recalled that he simply cleaned up and went to the village branch to take shelter.
In the early morning of the 4 th, the pouring rain kept falling. "God seems to have missed it." Then, he heard the rumble of mountain torrents. "Fortunately, I came out from home early." Wang Minmin said with emotion.
According to the unified arrangements of the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government, before the flood, all cadres at the county level sank to the front line to guide flood fighting and disaster relief. Zhou Hui, secretary of the Disciplinary Committee of Xiuyan County, said: "We demand that all cadres who go to the grassroots level will not retreat from the flood, and the cadres will not withdraw. At present, we must resolutely protect the lives of the people." (Reporter Feng Lei, Sun Renbin, Zou Mingzhong, Zhang Yifei, Cai Yongjun)
