When I was sleeping at night, the child couldn't sleep and wanted to chat with me. I asked him what he wanted to talk about? When my child was in political class, the teacher talked about the Wenchuan earthquake and the officers and soldiers who participated in the rescue, so he asked me if I could tell him about the Wenchuan earthquake.
To be honest, I really experienced the Wenchuan earthquake personally. Although I was not in Wenchuan at that time, I was in Chengdu. During the Wenchuan earthquake, the tremor in Chengdu was very strong. I still clearly remember the afternoon that changed countless lives.
At 2:00 p.m., I was going to attend an interview, but the interview location was in a tall building. I hesitated for a moment and felt that this job was not what I wanted, so I didn’t go to the interview and thought about going back first. So I waited for the bus at a bus stop.
Suddenly I felt the platform behind me shaking. I ran to the middle of the road with the people waiting for the bus around me, and then looked back, not only was the platform shaking, but even the buildings in the residential community behind the platform shaking. What's going on?
I also found that the ground on the road seemed to be up and down, and even cracks appeared. At this time, I still didn't realize the earthquake, but I just felt very strange.
The bus came and I got on the bus. At this time, the driver said that the earthquake had just happened. We suddenly realized that the road was already full of people, and everyone came out of their homes or offices. Because during an earthquake, you must hide in an open place in time.
It was originally a journey of more than ten minutes, but the driver drove for more than an hour.
During that time, I stayed at home during the day and watched TV every day, mainly watching the situation of the Wenchuan earthquake. I saw the troops transporting rescue personnel to the Wenchuan disaster area by plane. Because the road to Wenchuan was broken at that time, if you want to enter quickly, you can only air transport it and then let the officers and soldiers go down to and parachute to .
The scenes of
let us feel what a real Chinese soldier is, and we feel the power of a soldier. No matter what difficulties they are, they charge at the forefront.
Listen to me about the deeds of soldiers, and the child chased me and asked me about other situations about soldiers. I told my children that every summer, our armed police officers and soldiers would go to to fight floods and disaster relief. The officers and soldiers of the armed police have always been the main force in fighting floods. This is the flood is ruthless and people are affectionate.
But after all, it is a disaster relief, and many armed police soldiers died because of rescue.
At the same time, I also told the children that firefighters participated in fire rescue in Liangshan, Sichuan. The fire was everywhere and 27 firefighters were sacrificed.
The child asked me: Are they not afraid of death?
I told my children that it is not that they are not afraid of death, but that they obey orders and put their life and death aside for the benefit of the motherland and the people. It is precisely because of their protection that we have a peaceful and beautiful life.
The next sentence from the child touched me very much. Because the child said, "I want to be a person like them, and I want to go to rescue disasters."
I was stunned. Maybe the child didn't know the meaning of this sentence, but it still made me very pleased that he had this awareness. But as a parent, I really don’t want my children to take risks.
But the child followed and asked me: Will you let me go?
How should I answer this?
I thought about it for a while and said to the child: It is good for you to have this idea, because it means you have correct values. It is precisely because of the protection of soldiers that peace for thousands of families has been achieved. The warriors who sacrificed themselves for everyone’s happiness showed us their spirit, which is a great love.
But as parents, the first thing we hope is that you will be safe and healthy. Because you are not alone, you still have us. If you are injured or have any other situations, we will definitely be very sad.
But as long as you want to do something, we will definitely support you in doing it. I just hope that when you do it, you should also consider your parents. Try to be able to take into account the overall situation and protect yourself.In other words, when you are in danger, you must first take self-protection measures and then take action. Because self-protection is also helpful for carrying out rescue operations.
I don’t know if my child can understand what I said, but as a parent, I really hope that my child must protect himself first no matter what he does.
The reason why children have this idea is that in class, the teacher talked about life, the preciousness of life, and the fear of life. This is a course for children to grow up and a course for shaping their children's values.
Perhaps only after the child has truly experienced it can he understand the meaning of what he said. But at least I feel very pleased that the child has such an idea.
