When demolishing a dilapidated house.
Ding Rui and the children.
The resettlement point of five communities in Tuanjie Village, Liuji Township, Jishishan County, Gansu Province.
Utility workers remove power lines.
Rebuilding after an earthquake is a long process. Houses need to be rebuilt, lives need to be rebuilt, order needs to be rebuilt.
Ma Xiaoyun's computer opened seven ** at the same time, he is a village cadre in Tuanjie Village, Liuji Township, Baoan Nationality Dongxiang Salar Autonomous County, Jishishan, Gansu Province. During this time, everyone else was stationed in the village, and Ma Xiaoyun was the only one left in the village committee office, and the job assigned to him was to be responsible for the statistics and reporting of all the data in the village during the earthquake relief and reconstruction period.
Pick up**, ask about the situation, fill in**, from time to time there are people affected by disasters come here, Ma Xiaoyun will put down the work at hand, calm their emotions, and solve the problem. In between work, he told us that the situation has been much better these days, and the food and accommodation are arranged steadily.
620 days have passed since Level 2**. After most of the rescue team completed their mission and withdrew from Jishishan County, the roads here are no longer as congested as in previous days, and the village has gradually returned to its former calm.
A few days ago, the yard was piled up with relief supplies and crowded with rescue vehicles. Ma Xiaoyun raised his head from the computer screen, pointed to the empty courtyard in front of the office and said, "Now, they are gone, and the task left for Jishi Mountain is to rebuild." ”
Villagers' assembly. Liuji Township is one of the four hardest-hit townships this time, and Tuanjie Village, where Ma Xiaoyun is located, is only about 20 kilometers away from Liugou Township, the epicenter.
Tuanjie Village is a multi-ethnic village, with a total of more than 380 households, divided into six cooperatives, and more than 1,800 people. Ma Xiaoyun told us that there are eight ethnic minorities in the village, including the Baoan, Dongxiang, Sala, Hui, Tu, Tibetan, and Qiang.
According to the elders of the village, the reason why it is called Tuanjie Village is because the people in the village are very united, and they live together in a mixed and staggered manner, and there are basically no conflicts.
This solidarity is reflected in **. **After the incident, Han Kai, the village party secretary, took Ma Xiaoyun and they organized a team of more than 30 people to go to the village to knock on the door to rescue, and the whole village evacuated in time to avoid more personnel**.
Judging from the data according to Ma Xiaoyun's statistics, this time not only caused personnel, but also caused serious damage to thousands of villagers' houses. "The results of the preliminary assessment of housing safety show that more than 90% of the houses in the village have been damaged to varying degrees and are in a state of non-occupancy. Only 20 homes are certified as safe, and less than 10 are occupied. Fearing aftershocks and secondary disasters, the villagers were moved to resettlement sites. ”
*On December 27, 2023, the 10th day after the incident, after emergency rescue and transitional resettlement, the villagers' lives gradually stabilized. On the same day, Han Kai convened the first villagers' meeting after the earthquake to discuss post-disaster recovery and reconstruction.
Our family's house has been identified as safe and ready to move into, what should I do if the whole company is relocated?”
Our house has just been built this year, we have bought furniture, laid floor heating, and are waiting to move in, and we are not greatly affected by **, what should I do?”
At the villagers' meeting, the president of the cooperative and the prestige of the villagers who participated in the meeting asked one question after another. Han Kai said: "These problems are the key to post-disaster recovery and reconstruction, and if they are not properly resolved, sooner or later they will affect the lives of the villagers, and the villagers will not be satisfied." ”
Tuanjie Village No. 1 to No. 4 is on both sides of the provincial highway at a low altitude, and the terrain is flat;The five and six communities are located on a small hillside, with inconvenient roads and complicated traffic conditions.
Ma Zhanlin, the president of the Five Societies, took us for a walk around the village, and from the heights, the houses of the Five Societies seemed to be built on a shuttle. The village is flanked by cliffs, and the north side is steep, with a drop of about 30 metersThe south side is relatively gentle, but there is a deep ditch that is prone to water accumulation.
*Prior to the incident, there had been several landslides in the five and six companies. Ma Zhanlin still remembers the heavy rain in the summer of 2018, which fell very sharply, and the mountains on the north side subsided with the rain, which was really scary. Ma Zhanlin stood at the end of the north side, "Below is a village in another township, a few years ago, because of ecological improvement, the road was good. ”
*After the incident, only a few houses in the Gosha were deemed safe, and the others were severely damaged. Most of them hope to relocate as a whole through post-disaster reconstruction, move to a flat place like the first to the fourth community, and plan and resettle in a unified manner.
The villagers from the 1st to the 4th community felt that it would be better to rebuild on the original site. Ma Xiaoyun said: "Although the specific plan for recovery and reconstruction has not yet been decided, we can't wait, and we just want to get together to find out what the villagers think and what they actually need." ”
Another topic of discussion at the villagers' meeting that day was the order of the resettlement sites.
The altitude of Jishishan County is 1787 meters to 4308 meters, which is high in the southwest and low in the northeast. The county contains comprehensive climate characteristics of mountains and alpine mountains, and the winter is long and cold. This means that most of the reconstruction work will not be carried out until after the end of the spring permafrost. Previously, the affected people had to live in prefabricated houses with fixed transitional resettlement for a long time.
In the resettlement sites for several hundred people, the two village committees should ensure their safety in the prefabricated houses. Therefore, at the villagers' meeting, they and the villagers "agreed on three chapters": first of all, they should not connect wires without permission, and learn to use fire extinguishers;The second is to clean up, clean up your own household garbage in a timely manner, and not defecate anywhere;Third, it is necessary to pay attention to neighborly harmony, respect ethnic customs, and refrain from gathering crowds to gamble, drink alcohol, and ......
Demolition of dilapidated buildings. The third day after the villagers' meeting.
The first cooperative was full of people standing in front of a flat field: armed police officers and soldiers helped the villagers move furniture from the houses one by one, Han Kai held a table of damage to the houses and repeatedly confirmed with the villagers, and the small excavator master sat in the cockpit waiting for instructions.
Just the day before, the Gansu Provincial Earthquake Relief Headquarters held a Jishi Mountain 6At the fifth press conference of Level 2**, the affected people in the four hard-hit townships and towns of Jishishan County, including Dahejia Town, Shiyuan Town, Liugou Township and Liuji Township, have moved into prefabricated houses, and the earthquake relief work has achieved phased results and has fully entered the stage of post-disaster recovery and reconstruction.
Reconstruction is a long process, and the first step in rebuilding is to demolish in batches the houses that have been identified as dilapidated due to the impact of **.
Zhao Shengfa, a villager in Yishe, is located at a road crossroads, and the country road, less than two meters away, was taken up by red bricks that fell to the ground. Most of the exterior walls of their house are falling off, and the center of gravity of the gate is supported by the wall on the other side, and it is crumbling.
Further ahead is the house of Gong Fahui, the president of the First Society, whose damage is better than that of Zhao Shengfa's house, the house is basically in its original state, and there are many cracks in the wall. **At the time of the incident, Gong Fahui was injured by a heavy object and was still in the hospital**. Her husband and children are sorting out the things they still need at home and moving them to the innermost room for temporary storage.
Sandwiched between the two families is the family of villager Shi Liangliang, who and her mother no longer live in the same community and have moved to other cooperatives in the village. Last year, Shi Liangliang and his family built a new fence and gate here to determine the size of their house.
Set up a few roadblocks at the intersection to check if the electricity in the village is out. Ma Ruhua, Han Kai and other village cadres have repeatedly communicated to ensure safety. Ma Ruhua is a cadre of the Jishishan County People's Congress, and in the past few days, she has been sent to Tuanjie Village to coordinate post-disaster recovery and reconstruction, winter resettlement, etc.
No problem, let's dismantle it. "The first work of danger removal in Tuanjie Village was carried out in this way.
The master of the small excavator increased his horsepower, and knocked down the broken wall with the first blow, and knocked down the gate with a few more blows. Zhao Shengfa and his wife stood in the distance, looking at the demolished house, wiping tears from the corners of their eyes with a headscarf.
The excavator slowly worked its way up the ruins, and was almost hit by a falling brick next to it. "Stop, stop. Stay safe!Ma Ruhua hurriedly stopped.
Ma Ruhua told us that at this stage, the village has set up a team to eliminate danger and eliminate danger, and it is necessary to first demolish the dilapidated houses on both sides of the main roads or resettlement sites of the six cooperatives, so as to prevent the villagers from being injured by the collapse of the houses, and then demolish other dilapidated houses in an orderly manner.
As can be seen from the table of damage to the house, it is roughly divided into these categories: overall demolition, partial demolition, repairable and retained, and retained. "These appraisal results were unified by the county housing and construction department and sent a team of experts to the village to evaluate. ”
The demolition did not start well. Because it was the first demolition, Ma Ruhua needed to coordinate a lot of content, such as how to demolish and which part to demolish, all of which village cadres had to keep an eye on. "We need to connect the construction team and the owner of the house to make sure that the wrong house is not demolished. Some houses do not need to be demolished for the time being, and can be used as storage rooms. ”
In front of the house, an excavator is working, and on the power pole is the power company's staff removing the wires.
Before the construction, we turned off the electricity in the village very early. On the one hand, after the power outage, the affected people will not secretly go home at least at night;On the other hand, when demolishing a dilapidated house, it will not be harmed by electricity. Ma Ruhua said.
During the demolition process, Ma Ruhua and the others also encountered new problems, everyone moved furniture and household appliances to the open space, and they would find that there were not so many places to store them. In addition, if exposed to the outside for a long time, after a snowstorm, these furniture and household appliances will become waste.
There won't be much in the settlement, so we'll find a way to move the tents for emergencies. ”
Temporary home. Coming out of the village committee office, walking down the provincial highway less than 10 meters is the centralized resettlement site of one community and two communities. "Post-earthquake resettlement is a combination of centralized resettlement and decentralized resettlement. "Ma Mansu, a cadre from Bao Village, Liuji Township, took us to the centralized resettlement site.
*After the incident, following the principle of proximity, we evacuated the villagers first and set up transitional tents in the open area. The tent has heating, electricity, and food. From the third day, prefabricated houses were built one after another. He added.
There are nearly 400 prefabricated houses in Tuanjie Village, and on the evening of December 28 last year, all the villagers of the six communities in the village have moved in. Ma Mansu also mentioned that compared with the first to the fourth society, the construction of the five and six social prefabricated houses is slower.
It's not that the five and six cooperatives were more severely affected than the other cooperatives, they were in the mountains, or they were constrained by their geographical location. Ma Mansu explained that at the beginning of the transportation of the prefabricated houses, the engineering team's vehicles were too large, and the road to the five and six societies was relatively steep, and the road surface was still icy. The large-scale machinery for construction could not be carried out, and later another engineering team was replaced, and the construction of prefabricated houses of the five and six societies was carried out.
When I met Ma Xiaoming, he was moving furniture and household appliances to the prefabricated house. Ma Xiaoming is a villager from Liushe who works in Qinghai all the year round and is engaged in electric welding.
After seeing the news of ** happening in his hometown on his mobile phone, he and his younger brother, who was also a migrant worker, rushed home overnight. "The family is full of old people and children, and they are very worried. Fortunately, they were not injured, and when we settled them, we had to go back to Qinghai. ”
Young people like Ma Xiaoming who go out to work have 700-800 people in Tuanjie Village. Many people rushed home to help settle after the ** happened, and then they had to go back to work in a few days. "Young people in the village are mainly working in factories and ramen restaurants, and we have encouraged them to work locally after the post-disaster recovery and reconstruction work has begun," Han said. Whether you go out or work, in short, you can't be idle and have nothing to do. ”
Ma Mansu took us around each resettlement site, and he said that the resettlement sites had formed self-management committees and temporary party branches.
In the process of building the prefabricated houses, we strictly followed the construction requirements of the resettlement sites for the affected people, ensuring that the roads in each resettlement site were smooth, all water, electricity and network signals were connected, the toilets were equipped in proportion, and the stoves and coal were distributed according to the households, so as to meet the requirements of the 'five links' of heating, toilets, water, electricity and communications. Ma Mansu said.
In front of the resettlement site of the five communities, the villagers planted a national flag on each prefabricated house, and the banner slogan "Build your own home with your own hands" was pasted in the most conspicuous place. Ma Mansu told us that the basic requirements are to properly resettle the affected people, let them stay warm in the winter, and eat hot meals and live in hot houses in the colder winter. The next step is to raise people's confidence and mobilize them to participate in the recovery and reconstruction.
On December 25 last year, Jishishan County, Gansu Province 6The Level 2** Disaster Recovery and Reconstruction Coordination Steering Group was established. According to the news, it is expected to complete the site selection of residential housing and village and town construction by January 15, 2024, to ensure that residential housing will be completed and moved in by the end of October 2024.
As far as the current post-disaster recovery and reconstruction arrangements are concerned, the villagers need to wait for the completion of the construction of their new homes in the fixed transitional prefabricated houses.
The resettlement sites have police offices, infirmaries, and material distribution points, and their livelihood is guaranteed. Ma Xiaoming cleaned up the room and said, "It would be nice to install a few street lights in the resettlement site." ”
New Year's hot pot. He Shaoping is a teacher at Tuanjie Primary School, and during this time he became the executive principal of the temporary teaching site of Tuanjie Primary School, responsible for the work of the temporary teaching site.
Tuanjie Primary School has a total of 130 students from grades 1 to 6, more than 40 kindergarten students, and 17 school teachers.
*After the incident, schools in the county were damaged to varying degrees, and some schools were seriously damaged. **The day after the incident, all schools in Jishishan Prefecture were temporarily closed. When He Shaoping arrived at the school, he found that the classroom was no longer usable.
According to the county education department's arrangements for the resumption of classes and the return to school, on December 24 last year, He Shaoping and his team organized teachers to move out the desks in the school.
At present, there are 4 teaching sites in Tuanjie Village, and in addition to the students of our Tuanjie Primary School, there are also students who have returned from other places. He Shaoping introduced the situation of the school, they put together two prefabricated houses together as one classroom, some resettlement sites do not have extra prefabricated houses, they will first use tents as classrooms, and then build teaching points when the conditions are sufficient.
There is a classroom on Binjiang Road above, and a tent classroom is set up at the beginning. He Shaoping mentioned that a teaching site will be equipped with 2-3 teachers and a supporting psychological counselor.
Counsellors will counsel individually or in groups using small cards, ** and games. Fortunately, He Shaoping and his colleagues have not yet found out about the psychological trauma of the students after the earthquake.
There are 22 students from different schools at Ho's temporary teaching site. Starting from the morning exercise and breakfast at half past eight in the morning to the end of school at half past five in the afternoon, students have to attend seven classes in the temporary teaching site, including flag-raising ceremony, Chinese, physical education, **, etc.
A few days after the school was running, many students came to school at 7 o'clock. He Shaoping believes that the resumption of schools can ensure the orderly life and learning of children, and more importantly, the safety of students. "Without a school, children will be running around, and the work of eliminating danger has just begun, what if students are running around?”
With the increase in the number of students, it is difficult to maintain the normal operation of the school by relying only on He Shaoping and a few other teachers. He Shaoping said: "After the establishment of the temporary teaching site, five teachers from Linxia Open University responded to the call and took the initiative to support us in Tuanjie Township. ”
Two days before New Year's Day, Ding Rui, a teacher from Linxia Open University, was making hot pot with his classmates at the temporary teaching site of Tuanjie Primary School, preparing for the arrival of the 2024 New Year. In the morning, Ding Rui and the others also painted hot pot with the children and decorated the tent school with balloons.
This is their New Year's themed event.
Ding Rui showed us the painting of "The First Hot Pot in the 'Tent School'": the two children drew a mandarin duck pot, surrounded by drinks and snacks, the children were very careful, and arranged seats for the teacher in the painting.
Ding Rui also noticed a phenomenon that the hot pots in these paintings are all in the form of mandarin duck pots. When she asked the children why, the students told Teacher Ding that because there was a river running through the county, the houses were built on both sides of the river, and they were using this as a model.
There will be a theme every day, such as the theme of handicrafts, and the children will be taken to make paper cutsBirthday themes, we will eat cake together and send blessings. Ding Rui will arrange some special courses based on martial arts exercises, dance, painting, and handicrafts according to the situation.
During the New Year's Day holiday, there is no holiday for temporary teaching sites. He Shaoping said that in the next time, transitional classes may be carried out in the prefabricated classroom, and perhaps the winter vacation will not be released. They need to be prepared.
Just a few days ago, the first batch of teachers had returned, and the new teachers from Linxia Open University had replaced Ding Rui and them.
Our school will send teachers to the temporary teaching site of Tuanjie Primary School one by one without interruption. Ding Rui said.
