Seek the touching story of the snowstorm in 2008 that made people cry.
After the start of the new semester, South China University of Technology received a thank-you letter from Tongren Power Supply Bureau in Guizhou, which wrote: "Ma Xiao fully carried forward the dedication of' especially able to endure hardships and fight' in the process of participating in the emergency rescue, disaster relief and power conservation of our bureau, which made us deeply feel the elegance of college students in the new era cultivated by your school."
Ma Xiao, a student of Class 04 Electrical (3) who was praised in the letter, did not tell his teachers and classmates about his participation in the rescue during the winter vacation.
When things spread all over the campus, Ma Xiao felt embarrassed. He said that in fact, he just helped to do some manual work, and he was not qualified because he didn't connect the wires. "I have gained a lot from participating in this rescue. I learned to think about life and know how to do career planning. "
Ma Xiaojia's home is in tongren city, Guizhou Province, which is one of the areas that have suffered the most severe snow and ice disasters since mid-June 5438+10. 65438+1 On October 25th, there was a power outage in Tongren, and the snow on the road exceeded1ft, so a large number of primary and middle school students were stranded and could not go home. Some schools split tables and chairs as firewood to keep students warm. Ma Xiao's family lives in the school. Looking at those burning fires, I feel very unhappy.
As his major is electrical engineering, Ma Xiao is particularly concerned about the power disaster. It was learned that the local power grid was almost cracked in bad weather, the number of emergency personnel was extremely short, and the roads were frozen in many places, making it difficult for foreign aid fighters from various provinces to arrive in time. He was in a hurry and went straight to the local power supply bureau: "Please let me go to the front with you!" "
This move shocked the people in the power supply bureau: "You are just a student, and rescue and disaster relief is not as simple as you think." Ma Xiao believes that after more than three years of study, he has acquired certain professional knowledge. He said: "I have the ability to do it well with one more person and one more effort." As Ma Xiao had previously worked as an intern in Tongren Power Supply Bureau, he dialed the cell phone of the director of the Power Supply Bureau, hoping to open a "back door". Ma Xiao also tried his best to persuade teachers and mothers who disagreed, and entered the queue of electric maintenance workers.
The car carrying the emergency repair team walked for four hours, and it only took half an hour to reach Wanshan Special Zone, where the power was cut off for six days. As soon as I got off the bus, the fiery rescue atmosphere at the scene immediately infected Ma Xiao. "United as one, United as one", Ma Xiao said, once used this sentence as a slogan, but it is so in this special environment.
Ma Xiao has never seen such heavy snow. Due to the lack of experience in walking in the snow, he only wore a pair of flat shoes, slipped step by step and fell a lot. "Since I'm here, I'm going to do it!" He simply took off his gloves and put them on his shoes, and devoted himself to lifting equipment and transporting materials.
The ice crushed the iron frame that supported the wires. Due to the mountainous terrain, most of the equipment must be carried by manpower. Cleaning the broken wires hanging on the tower is an important job. These wires were only two centimeters thick at first, but the ice made them several times thicker. Ma Xiao and the electric workers lifted these wires with their bare hands.
On one occasion, the heavy tower suddenly fell to one side, and the wires on the other side instantly rose. A worker was caught by a wire and his feet were flying wildly, which was very dangerous. Ma Xiao and his colleagues were very anxious. They tried their best to pull back the wires and finally solved the danger.
Sometimes you can't have lunch until four or five in the afternoon. Everyone eats a cold box lunch with ice in the tree, then works late into the night with spotlights, and then concentrates on the time at 7 o'clock the next day. Ma Xiao recalled that it was like this every day, but no one shouted tired and complained.
"People who sit by the fire and watch these things may feel very hard, but only those who have experienced them personally know how hard it is." Ma Xiao told reporters that in the first week of emergency repair, what impressed me most was the selfless struggle of the emergency repair personnel and young party member commandos.
After the emergency repair work, Ma Xiao returned home. Although he is very tired, he is still very busy. He noticed that it was difficult for people to travel because of mountainous areas and large areas of roads. He began to call every middle school classmate and called on everyone to go out and shovel snow to open the way.
10 The students were moved by him. Early the next morning, they came to the severely frozen road with shovels and industrial salt, and struggled to eradicate the ice and snow until nightfall. For days until the ice and snow melted. A group of silent young people shoveling snow did not attract the attention of passers-by, only a passing grandmother took their hand and said "thank you", which made them happy.
After a day's work, they still like to hide and observe quietly for a while. Ma Xiao and his classmates were very happy to see everyone walking on the road they had shoveled.
During his three and a half years in college, Ma Xiao has been the life committee member of the class. He thinks it is very helpful to cultivate his sense of responsibility. "As a college student, it is very important to be a person with a sense of social responsibility." Ma Xiao's teacher told reporters that Ma Xiao is a student who knows how to care about others and likes to do good deeds silently, even if he is not understood or noticed.
After this winter vacation, Ma Xiao felt more mature than before. His future plan is to call on more students to take the initiative to express their condolences and help people in trouble. He said: "College students are a large group, which can greatly promote good social atmosphere."
Now, Ma Xiao has already started to take action: mobilizing the whole family to go to the nursing home to help the lonely elderly, and pulling all the students in the dormitory to play games with the children in the deaf-mute school. He believes that the best way is to infect everyone around him and tell people with small highlights in ordinary life: "From responsibility to action, there is only one step away."
