Chapter 49 Appendix Who Will Save Li Ximin

Throughout this afternoon, I have been worrying about the fate of my friend Li Ximin. He wrote on the fourth floor of the Xinhai Villa at the Luohe Bridge in Jiufeng Village, Longmenshan Town, Pengzhou County, Chengdu. On the afternoon of the 12th, the entire apartment building collapsed in the strong earthquake. According to the manager of the villa who escaped from the ruins, he heard Ximin's cry for help at noon on the 13th, and found that he was crushed by a huge concrete block on his shoulders and could not get out.But the voice is relatively loud, showing that the body is in good condition.The management staff found a few helpers, but found that they could not rescue them at all, and they found more than a dozen more people, but they were stopped by the county government, and all the rescuers were forcibly taken to Pengzhou County.The reason is that a serious liquid nitrogen leak occurred in the Pengzhou chemical plant and must be evacuated immediately.

I found Jiang Lan, a poet in Chengdu, and asked him to try to rescue him.He first planned to drive there by himself. After learning that all the bridges and roads leading to Pengzhou were interrupted, he turned to friends in the Chengdu Military Region, hoping to get help from there. In the end, he got even worse news: the Pengzhou region had been taken over by the Jinan Military Region , and sealed off, no one is allowed to enter. Jiang Lan then told me that someone had already contacted the Sichuan People's Broadcasting Station, which was now repeatedly broadcasting news about the famous writer Li Ximin, and hoped that nearby People's Liberation Army troops could go to the rescue.

Tonight, I have been calling Sichuan People's Broadcasting Station's live hotline 028-86750077, hoping to use this hotline to get his whereabouts from listeners.But the other party kept busy and couldn't get through at all. From the afternoon of May 12 to now, he has been trapped in the ruins for more than fifty hours.An author known for writing horror stories is now facing the scariest moment of his life, and there's nothing we can do about it! I felt extremely helpless and anxious. May God bless this brother overwhelmed by terror, and all those traumatized by the earthquake.

I called Lu Jinbo this morning, and he told me that a bridge might be repaired around noon, and Han Han is said to be waiting in Chengdu, ready to go in and save people. I told Jin Bo that it is impossible to pry the concrete block with only three or two people, and more people are needed.I dialed Jiang Lan's cell phone again, hoping that he could contact Han Han and Jin Bo and organize more people to rescue him. 10:40 Jiang Lan called and said that he had found Mr. Zhao Yugang, the owner of Xinhai Villa.His own brother and sister-in-law were also crushed under the rubble.He has organized a rescue team to the scene this morning and is estimated to have arrived by now.Half an hour ago, he organized a second rescue team to set off.Jiang Lan's opinion is that volunteers from other places should not take action, because the local area is under martial law, and outsiders are not allowed to enter at all. If they enter by force, they may be arrested. It is better to wait patiently.

12:15 Received another call from Jiang Lan, who said that Mr. Zhao's cell phone had been turned off.The situation of the rescue team cannot be confirmed.However, a message from a volunteer, Mr. Xi, was circulated on Tianya, saying that Li Ximin had been rescued.I'm skeptical that the rescue went so smoothly. At 12:30, I received a text message from Yinghua, saying that I had contacted a friend in charge of publicity in the Chengdu Public Security Bureau.A few minutes later, my mobile phone rang, and a friend from the Chengdu Public Security Bureau called and said that after contacting the earthquake relief headquarters, they confirmed that the rescue brigade to Jiufeng Village was on their way to the scene, and said that if there was a new message, I will be notified immediately.

12:45 Talked to Ximin's wife on the phone. She was planning to go to Chengdu with Ximin's brother. 13:26 Received a text message from a friend, relaying a message sent by a reporter on the QQ group in Pengzhou, saying that the rescue team going to Jiufeng Village to rescue the villagers was blocked 10 kilometers away from the entrance of Yinchanggou because the road was blocked.My heart is heavy again. 14:38 I saw the words on Han Han’s blog: “We basically gave up the plan to rescue a surviving writer who was trapped in Yinchanggou in the morning. After consideration, we don’t have the ability. Hope the rescue team and the crane The sooner you get there, the sooner the road will open."

The Pengzhou area was initially "neglected" by the authorities, leading to serious delays in rescue, and 100,000 people were trapped inside, life and death uncertain.It is said that Wen Jiabao was furious and even dropped the phone, which is why the rescue team arrived so late.But heavy equipment was inaccessible due to collapsed bridges and damaged roads.The rescue team is still on the road, waiting for the construction of the road and bridge.And a large number of lives are passing away while waiting... At 17:30, he talked to Jiang Lan. He had already learned from Mr. Zhao that two private rescue teams currently organized were on the scene to rescue them, using pickaxes to dig holes, hoping to deliver the necessary water and food.But the situation is gradually deteriorating.First of all, due to the continuous aftershocks, the houses that collapsed on the edge of the cliff are sliding towards the middle of the river.Xi Min's body could still be seen before, but now it has been hidden under the concrete pillar, and the concrete pressing on him will exert further pressure on his body.Due to the long time, the voice of Ximin has become very weak, and it is at stake.On the other hand, rescue teams with heavy cranes continued to be blocked eight kilometers away.Although the bridge has been repaired and is continuing to repair the six kilometers of road surface, there are still eight kilometers of roads that are almost completely destroyed, and the repair is extremely difficult, so it is impossible for the PLA rescue team to enter the area today.Ximin must get food and water as soon as possible, and survive tonight, or even tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.What a long wait!

Mr. Zhao's brother, sister-in-law and cousin may have all been killed.He said he did his best.In this earthquake, the entire villa that had not yet started business was reduced to ruins, and more than 20 million yuan of investment was wiped out. His heart was filled with infinite grief. At 18:00, Ximin's wife sent a text message, saying that she had arrived in Chengdu and was going directly to Pengzhou. 18:28 Received a text message from Ximin's wife: "Ximin has been rescued!" If the news is true, it should be the happiest moment of my life in these years! ! ! 18:32 Received a call from Jiang Lan, saying that Ximin had been sent to Chengdu Hospital.

18:35 After receiving a text message from Yimei and seeing the message, Mr. Yi, a comrade-in-arms in Ximin, and Mr. Xi, a volunteer, found the nearby Air Force rescue team and rescued him from the dangerous cliff. At 19:30, I received a text message from Ximin's wife, saying that Ximin had only minor injuries, but was fine and in good spirits.She thanked Ximin for all the friends who cared and helped! I saw many comments from netizens.I also saw the messages from Ye Kai, Brother Wang Gan and Brother Youshun.Thank you for your care and hard work. Individual netizens who are dissatisfied with how I tried to rescue my friend, please allow me to tell you the simplest truth:

Please start with the people around you to care for all the victims! Please do what you should do, what you can do!
