At 23:59 on December 18, 2023, 6Level 2**, affecting 419 administrative villages in 46 townships and towns in Haidong Minhe, Hualong and Xunhua counties in Qinghai Province. As of 16:50 on the 19th, ** caused a total of 14 deaths and 198 injuries in Haidong City. **113 people have been killed and 536 injured in Gansu. After the incident, the general secretary made important instructions, calling for all-out search and rescue, timely treatment of the injured, and proper resettlement of the affected people. We will do our utmost to ensure the safety of people's lives and property. Yesterday, Vice Premier Zhang Guoqing led a working group to rush to the disaster area to guide the earthquake relief work. The disaster is an order, and after the disaster occurs, from the state to the local level, rescue will be launched immediately. Rescue forces from all sides are going all out to carry out emergency rescue, and relief materials such as cotton tents, folding beds, quilts, and winter clothing have been urgently delivered to the disaster area. The work of earthquake relief is being carried out in an intense and orderly manner. Despite the severity of the disaster and the erosion of the cold wave, all the military and civilians are joining hands to fight against the danger of landslides and ground cracks.
The straight-line distance is less than 30 kilometers, the Yellow River is a distance away, and a big ** more than 4,000 years ago and more than 4,000 years later is all embarrassing, and the historical cycle is always so amazingly similar. In the nineties of the last century, a large prehistoric site was discovered in Lajia Village, under Jishi Mountain, Qinghai. This is the only place in our country that retains the prehistoric **, flood and other multiple catastrophic sites. It is revealed that more than 4,000 years ago, due to **, floods came one after another, so that the tribes here suddenly encountered disasters, and the life scenes of the ancestors at that time were instantly "frozen". Excavations at the site have unearthed a large number of human bones, including the remains of a mother who knelt on her knees to guard the baby in her arms and returned to rescue her loved ones. In a house site, it was also found that 4,000 years ago, the bowl of noodles that was upside down in the pottery bowl on the ground is the earliest noodle food found in the world, and the discovery of the site reveals the lifestyle and living conditions of the primitive ancestors in the upper reaches of the Yellow River during the Qijia culture period. All of them truly reproduce the life scenes of the prehistoric settlement that was completely destroyed by ** and secondary disasters.
More than 100 lives lost in their sleep more than 4,000 years later are a reminder of humanity's vulnerability and powerlessness in the face of natural disasters. Natural disasters are merciless, and people are merciful. In the face of the sudden disaster, the unity, strength and kindness of the Chinese people were once again demonstrated. **At the first time, the rescue forces of all parties in Gansu and Qinghai raced against time to rush to the rescue, and went all out to carry out earthquake relief work such as investigation and search and rescue, treatment of the wounded, transfer and resettlement, material allocation, disaster verification, and facility repair. When one side is in trouble, all sides support. The national disaster relief emergency response has been upgraded to Level 2, and all kinds of materials are being delivered in a steady stream to ensure the safety of people's lives and property and basic living materials in the disaster area**. People across the country have also reached out to help, Henan, Shandong, Inner Mongolia and other places have traveled thousands of miles to help, many enterprises and individuals and all walks of life have also taken action, donating money and materials, sending warmth and love, and countless netizens have participated in online fundraising activities. Just a dozen hours after the disaster, a noodle restaurant in Lanzhou spontaneously delivered steaming beef noodles to the affected people for free. "It's cold and freezing, and having such a bowl of hot beef noodles is enough to comfort people's hearts and make people sigh at the progress of civilization and the strength of the country!I wish the people in the disaster-stricken areas an early recovery of their homes and hope for life.
Dayu water control is the great poem of the Chinese nation immortal, "Yu Gong" records that "Yu water control began with the stone, as for the dragon gate". During the reign of Emperor Shun, the upper reaches of the Yellow River were blocked by Jishi Mountain, a vast ocean, and the flood overflowed from the four mountain passes, and the people could not bear the suffering. Yu was ordered by Emperor Shun to control the water, led the people to spend thirteen years of arduous fighting, three times through the door without entering, and finally led the river out of the gorge, since then the Yellow River has a roughly fixed river channel, rushing into the sea, but also making the Jishi Gorge become an important channel connecting the Yellow River valley to Qinlong.
The Chinese nation is a strong and unyielding ethnic group. In the course of more than 10,000 years of historical development, despite the hardships, we have been able to overcome difficulties and obstacles and move forward bravely. More than 4,000 years ago, the great flood occurred under the stone mountain, although the flood brought great disasters to the primitive ancestors, but also aroused the determination of thousands of people to dredge the river and fight the flood. It took thirteen years to divert the water of the Yellow River into the sea. The flood was relieved. Through this earthquake relief, they saw the power of the collective, the power of the leader, and the power of the country. As a result, the "state", a social form that can gather the wisdom and strength of the masses, was born on the land of China. This is the "Xia Dynasty", the first dynasty in our country. Now, more than 4,000 years later, when the ** and mudslide disasters occur again at the foot of the rocky mountain. The power of the state, the leaders, and the people converged again. From ** to the locality, the rescue response is fast and efficient. The people in the disaster area were rescued as soon as possible. At this special moment, in this cold winter, the victims can drink a bowl of hot soup and eat a bowl of steaming beef noodles, which is really worth a thousand words. Relief efforts are continuing, but the challenges remain daunting in the middle of winter. The post-disaster resettlement and reconstruction work will inevitably require a large amount of funds and manpower, and will require the concerted efforts of departments at all levels, all walks of life, and the broad masses of the people to help each other. It is believed that under the leadership of the party and the joint efforts of the people of the whole country, the people in the disaster-stricken areas will be able to tide over the difficulties and rebuild their homes.
