[Rescue Pioneer] Cao Wu, The Strong Pillar Of The Forefront Of Emergency Rescue
On The Flood Control Embankment Between Tuanzhouyuan And Dongting Lake In Huarong County, Hunan Province, There Is A Figure Named Cao Wu Who Rushes At The Forefront And Works In The Most Dangerous Place. He Is A Convoy Driver Who Has Traveled North And South And Has Undergone Several Rescues. He Is Also A Member Of The Kaili Rescue Vanguard Team.
Although There Are High Flow Drainage Vehicles To Improve Drainage Efficiency, Manual Handling Of Water Pumps, Installation Of Water Hoses, Debugging Of Equipment, And So On Are Also Required. These Tasks May Sound Simple, But They Were The Most Arduous Of All The Rescue Operations That Cao Wu Participated In. It's Really Uncomfortable When My Clothes Get Wet And Dry. But I Feel Like I've Come To The Right Place. I'm So Busy Every Day, Watching The Water Level Slowly Drop, And I'm Actually Very Proud. Doing Every Simple Thing Well Is Not Easy, And Doing Every Ordinary Thing Well Is Extraordinary.
Due To The Flooding Of Farmland And Villages, Many Branches, Plastic Bags, And Other Debris Are Floating On The Water Surface. The Temperature Is Hot, The Debris Is Rotten, And The Smell Is Pervasive. In Order To Avoid Blockage Of The Pumping Port, Cao Wu Had To Go Into The Water Multiple Times To Clean It Up. He Often Had To Face Water Snakes, Mice, And Leeches In The Water, And Occasionally Encountered Strange And Unknown Creatures. He Faced Both Physical And Mental Pressure At All Times. But Whether It's Moving Over A Hundred Pounds Of Water Pumps And Other Equipment Or Cleaning Up Debris In The Water, He Is Always At The Forefront, Becoming A Strong Pillar Of The Rescue Team.
What's Even More Difficult Is That The Logistics Support Area Is 20 Kilometers Away From The Dam. Because There Were Hundreds Of Drainage Vehicles From All Over The Country That Went To Support, All Of Which Were Lined Up On The Embankment, It Was Impossible For People To Transport Supplies By Car. They Could Only Use Assault Boats And Ships To Accurately Transport Materials From The Lake To The Vicinity Of The Drainage Vehicles, And Then Manually Transport Them To The Embankment. Cao Wu Repeated Carrying Water Pumps, Extending Water Hoses, And Cleaning Sewage Every Day Divide The 24-hour Period And Often Work Until Four Or Five In The Afternoon To Have Lunch And Three Or Four In The Morning To Sleep.
When Asked If He Had Ever Considered Retreating Home, Cao Wu Gave A Simple Smile And Firmly Said, "No. When The Rotation Came, I Didn't Want To Leave Yet." For Cao Wu, Who Had Participated In Multiple Rescue Operations, The Perseverance And Steadfastness In The Midst Of Wind And Rain, The Vigilance And Mutual Assistance In The Scorching Sun, Were Emotions That He Couldn't Let Go Of. It Is Precisely The Courage And Persistence Of Those Who Forge Ahead That Have Enabled The Rescue Team Members, Including Cao Wu, To Overcome One Difficulty After Another After Enduring All Risks And Tests.
