After the Yushu earthquake, the whole country rushed to help.
When disaster suddenly strikes again, we can only use the glorious tradition of providing support from all sides when one party is in trouble, and work together to minimize losses and save the most lives in the brave struggle of united efforts. At this moment, I only hope that Yushu will be strong, the rescue will go smoothly, and life will get better day by day.
Every disaster causes innocent misfortune to our fellow villagers, but also makes us hold hands hand in hand. As we grow up in disasters, we understand the value of life better, revere the nature of heaven and earth, and cherish the gifts of nature.
And every disaster, from the Wenchuan earthquake to the southwest drought to the Yushu earthquake, and even the Shanxi mining disaster, draws our attention to that land. What makes people worry is not only the disaster, but also the hidden dangers behind it. Trapped.
It is reported that there are many houses with civil structures in Yushu County, which have poor earthquake resistance. There are many places that need rescue, but there are no tools and we can only rely on our hands. There is a lack of large machinery, tents, medical equipment, medicines, and medical personnel. There is also a shortage of electricity. Yushu uses hydroelectric power generated by local small power stations. The earthquake caused a power outage across the state, causing great inconvenience to rescue operations.
An earthquake exposed the poor basic conditions in remote areas, making people worried.
During the severe drought in southwest China, we also witnessed such difficulties. The coming drought highlighted the shortage of water conservancy facilities. The water supply system for urban areas and industries rarely took into account rural irrigation needs. Water is needed to fight drought. They want to build a pipeline, build a water cellar, and buy a water pump. However, the villagers have no money and can see the water but cannot drink it. "We need funds, we need technical support, we need professionals, we need help." A female college student village official posted a message asking for help.
The power shown in disaster relief is touching and poignant. Huang Renzhong, the head of Duyi Village in Wangsha Village, Nalong Town, Guangxi, led the villagers to search for water sources and build reservoirs. He died of overwork at the age of 44.
Every disaster makes us shed tears for the plight of remote villages. This kind of hardship is not only a lack of material, but also a spiritual level and grassroots governance. Villagers fought over water sources and "knelt down to beg for road construction"... Even during the reconstruction of earthquake-stricken areas, there were reports of absurd and distressing things such as buying luxury cars, spending huge sums of money to build earthquake museums, and building villa-style model houses. Although these are not mainstream, they reflect the factors of hardship.
The top priority is to do all-out disaster relief and breathe the same fate as Yushu. Looking at the difficulties behind the disaster does not affect our enthusiasm for disaster relief.
In the face of difficulties, we should think about how to consolidate the infrastructure on that land, including housing, electricity, communications, water conservancy, medical care and other life support, so that we can have strong disaster relief capabilities while also being more capable. Artist Network, like Japan, Chile and other countries, has strong disaster prevention, disaster reduction, and disaster resistance capabilities, allowing our ability to withstand disasters to reach the world's first-class level. Only the baptism of disasters can make us more mature.
The more ecologically fragile and poor the natural conditions are, the more likely disasters of various types are to occur. Therefore, while the strong in developed areas remain strong, more resources need to be invested in remote rural areas to make these lands come alive and strengthen their ability to save themselves. When disaster strikes, we can be less sad and more calm.
