Thrilling _ Tough guy Sun Shiwei: Sultan Thrilling 1 1 Day and night.

Sun Shiwei was born in an ordinary worker's family in Shijiazhuang. 20 1 1 After graduating from university of international business and economics with a double degree in Arabic and accounting, Sun Shiwei joined China Hydropower Group International Company and was sent to Khartoum, the Sudanese capital, on 10/25 October as a management trainee in translation and finance.

Sudan borders Egypt, Libya and South Sudan. The area is 1.88 million square kilometers and the population is about 3 1 10,000. There are 19 races and 597 tribes in China.

The country's economy is dominated by agriculture and animal husbandry, and its industry is backward. However, Sudan is rich in natural resources. The proven geological reserves of crude oil are as high as11600 million barrels, while exploration and development are only 10%. Now it has become an important oil producer and exporter in the world. Sun Shiwei said that the temperature in Khartoum is often around 50℃ in summer, and it is very hard to work here.

In Sun Shiwei's impression, ordinary Sudanese people are simple and friendly to the people of China. "All the local people who go shopping say' good morning' to us in Chinese." Some policemen will give them a thumbs-up and say "Sning beats Mam", which means China people are good!

Sun Shiwei has been working in the Kazakh branch. At the time of the attack, he happened to accompany the company employees to inspect the road construction site in the border area between Sudan and South Sudan. 65438+1On October 27th, the camp of the road construction team received an early warning from the Sudanese government that it might be attacked by anti-government forces, so all the workers hid in a small town outside 18km. On the morning of the 28th, after the "alarm" was lifted, they returned to the camp. Who knows that "the gun rang before breakfast".

At that time, Sun Shiwei was in the office. When he heard the gunshots outside the house, he was not worried at all. Because South Kordofan, where the construction site is located, borders South Sudan, it is the most important oil producing area in Sudan and one of the most rampant rebel activities. It is very common for government troops to strike. Moreover, the military strength of government forces is far greater than that of anti-government forces. After shooting, he saw several military vehicles parked nearby. Then, a group of soldiers armed with AK47 submachine guns rushed in from the outside, and they confiscated the mobile phones of Sun Shiwei and his colleagues. At this time, Sun Shiwei realized that they were not government troops, but rebels. Helpless, they had to hand over their mobile phones. Those soldiers were rude and forced us to take off our coats.

Originally, Sun Shiwei and other laborers' camps were located on the edge of the Nuba Mountains occupied by rebels. After the rebels occupied the surrounding hills, they attacked the camp from the commanding heights. This anti-government armed force has more than 150 people, well-trained, well-equipped, with light and heavy machine guns, rocket launchers and pickup trucks. At that time, more than 30 government troops were in charge of security at the periphery. Being outnumbered, they were quickly defeated. A journey of life and death

After the rebels entered the camp, they plundered the cash in the safe and the electrical appliances that could be removed. At about 5 pm, anti-government forces hijacked 29 China workers, including Sun Shiwei, left here and took all the vehicles in the camp.

The rebels demanded that China follow them and threatened to shoot. At that time, Sun Shiwei conveyed the meaning of robbers to everyone and asked the workers to follow suit. Because these gangsters are very rude and can do anything, Sun Shiwei told everyone not to make unnecessary resistance.

At first, these hostage-taking militants led them to March at night to avoid the government's surprise attack. Everyone was forced to walk in undeveloped barren hills, with no roads and thorns and gravel all over the ground. On the first day of March, Sun Shiwei fell down many times. One of the Sichuan workers hurt his ankle while running, so Sun Xiao helped him walk. Sun Shiwei said that during this "life-and-death journey", 29 hostages in China helped and supported each other, and no one was left behind.

Before the attack on the camp, there were 47 Chinese workers on the construction site, and another 18 people hid in the mango forest not far away when armed robbers fought fiercely with government troops. Except for 1 who was killed by stray bullets, he was rescued by the commando sent by the Sudanese government at noon the next day. These 65,438+07 China workers were first placed in a barracks and then returned to Khartoum by plane.

Sun Shiwei and others are not as lucky as these compatriots. In the first five days of kidnapping, the rebels walked with them all the time, sometimes for more than 20 hours. At this point, Sun Shiwei began to think about what might happen. He doesn't know where the rebels are taking them. Faced with the threat of death, the young man is very calm inside. In the absence of an absolute chance of winning, he and his colleagues have no idea of running away, "because it will only die faster." In a strange country, they completely lost their sense of direction. Sudan was in the dry season at that time. Lack of water and food. The scorching sun bakes everyone like a fire. The rebels only feed them sorghum paste every day.

After being hijacked. Sun Shiwei, who is proficient in Arabic, the official Sudanese language, volunteered to be the translator. He is in charge of negotiating with the robbers. He wanted to use his language advantage to negotiate with the other side for preferential treatment, but the anti-government forces constantly changed their posts in the process of escorting China hostages, making the negotiation more difficult. In order to help the injured get timely treatment and improve food, Sun Shiwei has been communicating with the robbers to create better conditions for the China hostages. "In the face of guns, I always told them that we are just ordinary civilians, engaged in livelihood projects such as building roads and bridges. After understanding our identity, they relaxed their care and provided us with food, drinking water and simple medicines. "

On the sixth day, the team stopped running, and the hostages were arranged to live in several thatched sheds. Meanwhile, Sun Shiwei also tactfully helped two women in the team to avoid danger.

Yan Huang, a Sichuan girl among the two women, graduated from Chengdu University of Technology in 2009 and became an employee of China No.7 Hydropower Company. She came to Sudan on February 20 10. In order not to make Yan Huang and another woman afraid, I often comfort them: "China citizens are in distress overseas, and our government will definitely save everyone!"

Influenced by Sun Shiwei's optimism, other mentally tortured workers gradually improved and encouraged each other.

Sun Shiwei soon learned that the robbers were members of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (Northern Bureau). He knew that during the civil war in Sudan from 1983 to 2005, the organization belonged to the southern rebel Sudan People's Liberation Movement. After the independence of South Sudan in July last year, the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) became the ruling party in South Sudan, while the personnel of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (Northern Bureau) who stayed in Sudan refused to respond to the Sudanese government's request to lay down their weapons, mainly in South Kordofan and Blue Nile States. The Sudanese government forces took action against it last September. In order to forcibly disarm them, the two sides fought fiercely many times.

What Sun Shiwei didn't understand at that time was that these guys recently kidnapped China workers as hostages because they were defeated by government forces in an attempt to coerce Sudanese government forces to stop their military encirclement and suppression. Sun Xiao wanted to tell the company what he had learned, but everyone's mobile phones were confiscated by robbers, and they could not contact the outside world.

Successfully rescued

Sun Shiwei and others didn't know at this time that the sudden kidnapping incident became the focus of global attention overnight. After the incident, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other departments launched multi-party mediation and actively carried out rescue. Sun Xiao said that although he could not understand all this during his kidnapping, he could feel that the motherland was actively communicating with the rebels from the change of their attitude. "Living conditions have also been improved through communication. I said that tomorrow is the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month, which is a very important festival for China people. The other party prepared a lot of vegetables at noon and slaughtered a sheep for us.

Sure enough, on February 6th, Sun Shiwei and others received a phone call from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, and the workers were greatly encouraged. On the night of Lantern Festival, 29 hostages finally waited for the good news of being released. Sun Shiwei said: "At 2 am on the 7 th, the robbers woke us up, took us to a pickup truck and pulled us to a place. We were all released."

Subsequently, the International Red Cross flew them back to Nairobi, Kenya. After being trapped 1 1 days, the workers didn't take a bath. When everyone checked into the Intercontinental Hotel Nairobi and called their families to report their safety, the first thing Sun Shiwei did was take a bath. The embassy staff has prepared new clothes and shoes for each of them. After taking a bath, the workers pinned the five-star red flag badge on their chests.

When he was about to leave Nairobi, Sun Shiwei released his first personal Weibo by computer since June+10/October 28th, 5438. The last sentence was: "I love you, China."

On February 9th 14: 35, they finally arrived at Beijing Capital International Airport safely. 1 1 On the day of hijacking, I flew for more than seven hours continuously, and all the fatigue seemed to dissipate at the moment I landed. "Excited, grateful, grateful, finally got home. This is my hometown, where I was born and raised. After getting off the plane, Sun Shiwei couldn't restrain his excitement.

At this time, the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce and the China Hydropower Corporation have been waiting for a long time. A welcome banner was hung at the scene. Two women smiled and accepted a big bouquet of flowers. Sun Shiwei also received a red card with the cover of "Shiwei, welcome home, we love you", which was filled with blessings from more than 20 colleagues in the head office. ...
