A veterinarian at the Jianchuan Museum said, "Pig Qiang is on the verge of dying." The phrase
quickly became a hot search, affecting the hearts of countless netizens and even players.
For older readers, most of them may have played a casual game of the same name called "Pig Strong". Players will play a pink piglet named "Pig Strong" to save the pig universe threatened by the evil doctor. Strictly speaking, this game is not so exciting or fun. The main meaning of developing it is to commemorate the little pig who went down in history.
Because the prototype of the game name comes from a pig who may have the greatest impact on a country in the history of human beings - frankly speaking, "Pig Strong" represents not only a pig, but also the meaning behind the name. Condensed, a representation of the powerful spirit that erupted in China in the face of crisis and suffering.
The Little Pig Who Created Miracles
On June 17, 2008, the pig shed of Wan Xingming's house in Tuanshan Village, Longmenshan Town, Pengzhou City collapsed. Soldiers from a flight academy of the Chengdu Military Region Air Force were cleaning up the ruins and helping fellow villagers to count the damage. At this point, 36 days have passed since the catastrophe that happened on May 12, which was recorded in the history books.
Under normal circumstances, mammals, including humans, can only survive for 1-2 weeks at most if they do not eat or drink. Even in the extreme case of drinking only water and not eating, it can only survive for about a month, and it will cause irreversible serious damage to the body.
Everything seems to suggest that there can be no signs of life in this rubble.
But the miracle still happened.
After slicing the masonry and wood, the soldiers found a little pig who was just over a year old underneath.
Although his body is full of dirt, his hind feet are injured and he cannot walk normally. His weight has dropped from 300 jin to less than 100 jin. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a skinny pig. However, this pig is still alive and strong. .
Later, someone analyzed that this may be when the pig shed collapsed, and the planks and walls were just supported, forming a relatively safe space. In the following 36 days, the survivor, known as the "strong pig", survived until the day he was rescued by drinking rainwater and eating charcoal.
After the incident, Fan Jianchuan, the curator of Jianchuan Museum of Sichuan Province, paid 13,000 yuan to buy this brave pig Qiangqiang from the original owner. He hoped that this little pig, who had witnessed the suffering of the nation, could live the rest of his life happily until his natural death.
Thirteen years have passed, and even Zhu Qiang, who was fortunate enough to be the protagonist of the game, finally came to the end of his life.
The Chinese will never fail to live up to Sichuan
There is no doubt that May 12 is the turning point for the strong pig, if not for the arrival of the disaster, it may be released soon and become a delicacy on people's table. No one will remember it, let alone become the protagonist of the game, to stop the doctor's conspiracy to save the world.
And this day is also an unforgettable day for Sichuan and even the Chinese people. At 14:28:4 on May 12, 2008, Beijing time, the seismic waves that circled the earth 6 times in total broke through the layers of the crust from Yingxiu Town (31.0°N, 103.4°E), Wenchuan County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. impede access to the world.
As a result, an 8-magnitude earthquake (measured by the China Earthquake Administration) was the most destructive, the most extensive, the heaviest disaster loss, and the greatest disaster relief since the founding of the People's Republic of China, resulting in 69,227 deaths and 17,923 374,643 people were missing, 374,643 people were injured in varying degrees, 19,930,300 people lost their homes, the total affected population reached 46,256,000 people, and the direct economic loss was 845.14 billion yuan.
"Sichuan people have never failed the country, and Chinese people will never fail Sichuan." Thanks to the unique geographical location of Bashu, Sichuan has made great contributions to the Chinese nation in history. Because of this, this sentence has become the most common slogan in the media and public opinion after the 5.12 earthquake.
Even after thirteen years have passed, this unprecedented catastrophe still seems to be fresh in my mind, as if it happened yesterday. The reason why is deeply remembered is not only the scene of purgatory on earth after the disaster, but also because of the huge rescue operation that was participated by 1.3 billion Chinese people and has never been seen before in human history.
Four hours after the earthquake, the troops stationed closest to the epicentre had already set off in an emergency and headed towards the disaster area. Under the full coordination of the relevant departments, professional rescue forces from all over the country, such as medical, fire, special police, and the military, began to quickly assemble and prepare to go to the disaster area. In just three days, more than 100,000 active duty troops arrived at the front line to participate in the disaster relief. rescue work.
At the same time, all departments are at full power to support the disaster-stricken areas in different ways: the Ministry of Health has deployed elite forces from various provinces to form a medical and epidemic prevention team; Arrange professionals and machinery to coordinate emergency repairs of roads damaged by the earthquake; the Remote Sensing Center under the Ministry of Science and Technology will send satellite monitoring data to the disaster-stricken areas as soon as possible; Large banks and their branches ensure that disaster relief funds are sent to the disaster areas in a timely manner; the Ministry of Water Resources monitors the areas where dammed lakes may occur at any time, and ensures normal water supply in the disaster areas. A total of 113,080 personnel from more than 20 arms of the 5th Military Region dispatched 1,069 aircraft of various types, 92 military columns, and 110,000 transportation and logistical support equipment, successfully rescued 21,566 buried people, treated 34,051 wounded, and transferred more than 80,000 tons of animal resources. 558 kilometers of roads were repaired urgently.
Perhaps based on these data alone, it is impossible to have a more intuitive feeling of the mobilization efforts, so let’s take a look at the example given by the “China National Geographic” magazine in the same year: “The mobilization of the People’s Liberation Army on 5.12 is equivalent to World War II. A three-dimensional encirclement with full equipment equivalent to more than 300,000 troops was carried out from Moscow to Berlin in one week." Put on a tearful scene.
In 2008, China was seriously lacking communication equipment such as satellite phones, which made the severely affected areas become isolated islands of information that completely lost contact with the outside world.
As a last resort, in the absence of meteorological data, no ground signs, and no command and guidance, Li Zhenbo, the then director of the Airborne Forces Research Institute, was ordered to lead a 15-man commando to parachute from a height of 5,000 meters to the airborne earthquake area. way to send back much-needed information to the headquarters.
They are the later famous "Fifteen Airborne Warriors".
Li Yushan, who participated in the operation, recalled that after everyone successfully landed on the ground, although they were in a remote area, the people who were panicked by the earthquake came up. He clearly remembered that a man in his 40s grabbed his hand and shouted, "The PLA is coming", trembling.
People kept handing the soldiers a note with the phone number of their relatives, and when there was no paper, the phone number was written on the camouflage uniform. To this day, a camouflage uniform full of phone numbers is still treasured in the Airborne Military History Museum.
Not only the People's Liberation Army, but rescue teams and medical teams from various provinces (including many civilian volunteers) are also advancing towards Sichuan. If the traffic line is temporarily interrupted, people will carry emergency supplies on their shoulders and use their feet to climb over the mountains and into the disaster area.
At the airports of various provinces, rescue teams ready to go can be seen almost everywhere to carry out the final mobilization; State Grid launched an emergency plan, dispatched emergency repair teams from 5 provinces to go straight to the disaster area, and the power supply was basically restored on May 18; The call platform provides family tracing services in the disaster area, and the on-site emergency service station provides free calls, and ensures that the mobile phone numbers entering the disaster area will never stop due to arrears.
It is worth mentioning that, just 3 minutes after the earthquake, the Chengdu Amateur Radio Emergency Communication Network started to call in an emergency, immediately received responses from major radio amateurs across the country, and established contact with some affected areas. On May 13, led by the Radio Administration, the Sichuan Amateur Radio Emergency Communication Network Command Center was established and incorporated into the provincial earthquake disaster relief command system with the call sign "BY8AA".
In view of this, ARRL, the Radio Association Broadcasting Alliance, awarded the "2008 Humanitarian Award" to amateur radio amateurs in Sichuan earthquake relief.
Starting from May 12, major hospitals, schools, institutions and enterprises across the country have organized blood donations. But I never thought that the people who came to donate blood were too enthusiastic, and as a result, the queue of hundreds of meters long blocked the traffic. In some areas, there are even too many blood donations, resulting in insufficient blood bags!
The power of the curve
At 14:28 on May 19th, a week after the earthquake, Google published a blog post: "When we routinely organize and analyze Google's search engine traffic data, a never-before-seen curve Appeared in front of us. When we realized what had happened, our eyes were wet."
At that time point, the Chinese government stipulated that the people of the whole country should observe three minutes of silence in memory of the compatriots who died in the Wenchuan earthquake. Traffic dropped to near zero in an instant, which is almost impossible data.
The three-minute collective silence of the entire country also means that the mobilization ability displayed during the disaster relief was voluntarily committed by the citizens themselves, rather than passively accepted. Unity of one heart, united will, in this country, has never been a simple slogan.
After the earthquake, the pig, who survived under the ruins for 36 days, is about to bid farewell to us and leave this colorful world forever. However, the indomitable national spirit contained in the name "Pig Strong" will continue to be passed down from generation to generation and will be remembered by every descendant of Yan and Huang.
Here, I would like to quote a comment from the Russian State News Network as the end of this text written on the 13th anniversary of the Wenchuan earthquake-
China needs no sympathy, China needs understanding;
China needs no comfort, China needs support.
We are willing to stand with the Chinese people with the power of a glass of water and every inch of it.
We know that a country where the prime minister can fly to the disaster area within two hours, a country that can dispatch 100,000 rescuers, a country where corporate and private donations reach tens of billions, and a country where people compete to donate blood and voluntarily rescue the wounded. A country with traffic jams will never be beaten.
Hopefully it will be with China.
Let us bless the living and pray for the dead.
China, come on.
