Bone Chilling, Love And Melting 2008

At the beginning of this year, a sudden cold rain and snow disaster occurred in the southern part of China for 50 years.

High voltage power grid "high paraplegia", 19 provinces and autonomous regions blackout, "power island" frequent.

In January 31st, there were about 5800000 passengers stranded along Beijing Guangzhou railway.

At a critical juncture, Shanxi electric power dispatched 1927 elite troops in batches to Hunan, Guizhou, Fujian and Guangxi to build "anti ice".

The iron clad men cling to the whole spring festival to climb the ice and snow, and erect an iron tower on the south of the Yangtze River where the cold is hard to get.

Aman Chang, the propaganda officer of the provincial power pmission and pformation company, followed the interview for 36 days. The newspaper continued to pay attention to it and reported it every day on the important news page for 36 days.

At the beginning of the year, when the passion was surging, the most concern was whether to restore the power supply and whether the people in the disaster area could have a bright year. Nowadays, the workers who open their memories and show clearly are the perseverance and responsibility of the 1927 blood men. It is the forbearance and acceptance of loyalty and filial piety. At the end of the year, Aman Chang told many of those reporters who were in charge of the related reports, Huang Kun.

The toll collector of Hunan expressway has been evacuated. The Spring Festival in 2008 is getting closer and closer. The disaster from the sky is getting more and more intense. After the twelfth year of the twelfth lunar month, 19 provinces in the South have been blackout, and traffic is in a pause.

When the disaster is critical to the safety of power supply, Shanxi electric power has been unable to sit up and down.

It is the coming new year when leaders are hesitant.

The work of the power pmission and pformation company is to build towers, erect high voltage pmission lines, and work on the outskirts of the country.

The workers are working outside the building all year round, only to go home in the new year, to accompany their parents, to guard their wives and children.

In a year, they have only more than 20 days to belong to the family.

Late at night, there was no better way to find out. The leaders of the company came up with the list of technical points.

Those who were ordered to obey orders were ready to start.

At the same time, the news broadcast "anti ice" frontline, there are sacrificed power workers.

The next morning, hundreds of workers, many of them, assembled on time.

Instead of speaking, they were busy loading instant noodles, rain boots, checking equipment and tools.

The ceremony was filled with solemn and stirring taste.

In February 1st, more than 100 people took part in three big cars.

In order to get to the disaster area quickly, people do not leave the car.

However, contrary to the normal rule, the farther south is, the colder it is! In the evening, when you go to Xinyang, Henan, it looks like a big ice cellar.

Upon entering Hubei, the ice was frozen by an inch of ice on the road. In the vicinity of Hunan, the snow came to the white sky at a speed of only 30 miles.

The drivers have been driving for more than 20 hours in a row, and are very sleepy.

Go, or stop?

"Weather forecast Blizzard will come soon.

If you go, you may get to the disaster area in front of it, but you can stop, once you have closed the road at high speed, you can hardly tell when it arrives.

Chang Min, the manager of the company, ordered to go to the snow. Aman Chang helped the more than 50 year old driver, Yin master, pour out his bag of coffee and put in a little water, thick as paste.

Master Yin poured his neck into the glass, shook the glass, blew the biting cold wind, drove the spirit and drove.

At dawn, on the Hunan expressway, there was no other vehicle on the road except Aman Chang and his party.

There was no way out. There was no one in the toll booth.

After the disaster, toll collector has already been evacuated.

In February 2nd, shortly after noon, after 27 hours without stopping, the company's first "ice resistant" construction team finally arrived in Zhuzhou.

Shocked by the situation, the high-voltage line was towed on the road and rolled up by cars. Various power lines were torn like a mess and hung up the streets.

However, more frightening scenes appeared on their construction sites.

The big iron tower that had been broken up was lying on the ground.

The height of the tower is determined by the terrain. Normally, it is thirty or forty meters high, with three groups of 12 high-voltage lines on the wrist, which are wrapped by ice sheets. The wind blows and the 12 high voltage lines swing back and forth.

The company's 4 construction teams are responsible for the reconstruction of more than 30 iron towers.

This is the highest grade artery that supplies electricity to Changsha, 550 thousand volts, and the construction site is all in the mountains.

Cheers for new year's Eve, "long live steamed bread and noodles!"

From the twelfth lunar month to the first month, Aman Chang worked with the workmen for 36 days, sending out such a feeling: "I think," in particular, to endure hardships "is to describe the workers who sent electricity to us!" a group of thirty or forty meters tall tower, need to install thousands of components, a total of more than 20 tons of weight, a main material has a ton of weight, pporting materials up the mountain is the most difficult.

The soil in Hunan is red and sticky. It is very difficult to mix the melting ice and snow.

The two feet step in and sink to the knees.

Up the hill, each person moves with a few kilograms of mud on his feet.

The mountain in the south is not high, but the road is steep. From the station to the construction site, the workers start out in the morning and carry the material up the mountain.

In order to save time, we eat instant noodles at the construction site.

On the 31 day, more than 50 workers from the construction team wore more than 60 pairs of rain boots and more than 10 thousand packs of instant noodles.

As soon as he arrived in Hunan, Aman Chang began to catch cold.

Immersed in the southern early spring rain, every day in-depth construction frontline interview, "standing in the wind and rain, feel the whole people are overcast, cold like no clothes."

Looking up, the workers worked on the tower, to reinforce every screw, not to wear gloves, and to work with bare hands on the tower.

Zhang Minguo took his camera in his coat and photographed underneath. His nose was always sour.

Sleep well, dirty on the body, all can carry, but such a heavy work, can not eat well how to top down.

On the second day of his trip to Hunan, Aman Chang was starved.

The first day to eat local food, "very fresh, delicious."

On the second day, I couldn't eat another bite of the spicy food.

In view of this situation, the headquarters in Zhuzhou will be ready to send some white flour to the construction teams.

Find a grain store, open mouth will be more than a dozen bags.

Who knows the locals simply do not eat noodles, each grain store, only prepare a bag of noodles, and only sell by catty! After the initial rush, logistical support quickly catch up.

February 6th is the new year's eve of the rat year. The Shanxi electric power company carries steamed bread, flour, vinegar and Fenjiu for the workers.

On that day, the workers who returned to the command headquarters saw the hoarding of food and shouted excitedly, "long live the steamed bread! Long live noodles!" the reporter regretted being away from the scene. At the beginning of the year, when the heavy snow was raging in the south, our reporter Huang Kun never thought that it would be related to her.

Huang Kun is a reporter who runs the electric power department of the Ministry of economics.

Peacetime, this is a very calm person, in the face of big news events, she has someone else's ability to rely on others, "close to calm, less passion."

After all, at that time, Huang Kun was a young man who had just graduated from university two years ago.

Since entering the bank, she has not had the opportunity to interview emergencies, not to mention the reports of catastrophic events such as "anti ice".

As an economic journalist, she focuses on the macro policy and economic phenomenon, which is static and rational.

Her career as a journalist has not yet seen the passion and impulse of "when you see me, I am on the paper with the news, and when you can not see me, I am on the road with the news".

In January 31st, when the ice and snow disaster pushed the electric workers to the cusp of the storm, Shanxi electric power company responded quickly, and the rate Department went on the March.

Huang Kun stared at it for the first time.

Departure, commencement, progress...

For the first four days, keep in line with the front publicity staff.

The newspaper produced an important layout, and the more Huang Kun wrote, the more he wrote. The more he felt, the faster he went.

Huang Kun quickly joined this important event which was concerned by the national media. Every day she listened to the voice ahead and felt the atmosphere of passionate atmosphere. She first noticed reporters' interest in major news.

On the fifth day, 28 of the twelfth lunar month, Huang Kun suddenly applied for the front line.

The newspaper quickly approved the request, and in order to ensure her safety, she had to communicate with the front office of the provincial power company to confirm whether they could cooperate with her.

In the morning of the twelfth month of the twelfth lunar month, Huang Kun was disappointed with the news: "the conditions ahead are very difficult, and the women reporters are almost impossible to reach the scene." although Huang Kun strives repeatedly, he can never make his way.

For this matter, Huang Kun has been regretful for a year, because she has been away from the scene for a long time, and the anti ice report has just been full for a week.

Huang Kun did not stop the interview, from the new year thirty to the beginning of the month six, she seven consecutive days with the front-line workers to join the line, do telephone interviews.

Call from the afternoon every day, the signal is not good, often can not get through, have to fight.

Sometimes, it doesn't get through until evening.

The interview time is controlled in half an hour or so.

At the beginning of the month, seven, the newspaper published the seven days' diary in full page form.

After the Spring Festival, with the relief of the disaster, the report went deep.

Huang Kun made the contribution of Shanxi electric power to the recovery of the four provinces' electric power as the main point of writing.

In the meantime, she paid attention to the family members of the front-line workers. In order to avoid simple records, she kept her eyes on the province from time to time.

Join the disaster relief materials donated by our provincial power system workers for the disaster area and the electric power department for the disaster area.

She went into the community, shopping malls, and interviewed the people of our province to support various kinds of electricity saving in the south.

From the first batch of commandos in January 31st to Hunan Province and the completion of the last task of "anti ice" rescue in March 6th, Huang Kun continued to pay attention to the 36 days.

Whether from the quality, scale or span of the report, there is a good reputation among the media in the city.

With the honor of participating in this important event, Huang Kun felt that his ability to write news on the spot and to write psychological characters was rapidly improving.
