8.8 Experience of Jiuzhaigou M7.0 Earthquake

I didn't feel the 5. 12 Wenchuan earthquake because I was riding a bike on the road.

The long-awaited trip to Jiuzhaigou turned out to be just a passing by, without seeing her face clearly.

Nearly 2000 kilometers has experienced a magnitude 7 earthquake, which is also an indelible memory.

On August 6th, we set off from Zhengzhou and started the journey of Chengdu-Jiuzhai-Huanglong. Arrive in Chengdu around 8: 00 pm on August 6, and contact local tourist destinations to arrange accommodation. On the 7th, I visited a circle in Chengdu, including Du Fu Caotang, Jinli, Wuhou Temple, Kuanzhai Lane, American Consulate in Chengdu, Zhao Lei's pub, etc. The most exciting thing is to experience * * * and enjoy cycling, which brings unparalleled convenience to urban travel. When you ride a bicycle through the streets of this city, you make a strange tourist feel a little strange and kind to this city, and feel as if you are naturally integrated into this city.

I want to share with you the harvest of a trip to Chengdu. The tavern in Zhao Lei's Chengdu is not the tavern on Yulin Road as everyone knows, but another branch of the tavern.

On the evening of the 7th, I received a short message from a travel agency, to the effect that the original itinerary was changed due to the road collapse in Maoxian County, and it was necessary to take the route from Pingwu County to Jiuzhaigou, and the Panda Base and Dujiangyan in the original route could not be seen. I didn't feel anything at the time. After all, the main destinations are Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong. But looking back, I realized that this was just like the prologue of the movie and the introduction of the novel, and everything started like this.

In the early morning of August 8, we got on the bus to Jiuzhai and officially started our trip to Jiuzhai. The tour guide is a Tibetan boy who graduated from Southwest University for Nationalities. His name is Theron. Bud. When he introduced himself, he said that he lived in a temple for five years when he was a child, and he studied religion in college. The young man is humorous, articulate, clear-headed and familiar with routines. After briefly introducing himself, he systematically talked about the four-day trip, matters needing attention, team discipline and detailed requirements, and especially talked about two things. First, do as the Romans do and respect the customs and beliefs of the Tibetan people. He said, "life can be reincarnated, and faith cannot be defiled." "Some people are under the banner of respecting faith, but they are not. The other is about the itinerary. " There are many unpredictable and certain factors in the trip to Jiuzhai. I can go wherever I can. A few days ago, the mountain in Maoxian collapsed and two private cars were buried. "At that time, these words sounded like routines and didn't take it too seriously.

In this way, everyone rushed to Jiuzhai under the guidance of Budd's tour guide. Along the way, Budd introduced us to the history of Jiuzhai, the customs of Tibetan areas, and the anecdote of his 15 years as a tour guide. The carriage is full of relaxed and pleasant smell. At about eleven o'clock in the morning, Bud received a phone call with a serious face. "To tell you bad news, a landslide occurred in Pingwu, and it is being cleaned up now, but this phone call is not the official notice of the Tourism Bureau, and it is not the most serious." Bud's words brought anxiety and anxiety to the car, and everyone whispered for a while and quieted down. The bus ran for over an hour. At this time, we saw two engineering vehicles on the roadside cleaning up the gravel and clods on the road, which had been cleaned up almost, and did not have a big impact on traffic. This is a long breath.

After a simple lunch, our journey continued, the water gradually increased and it rained lightly for a while. On the way through several hydropower stations of Huaneng Group, green water and green hills appear in front of us, as if Jiuzhai was in front of us. At 6: 00 pm, Bud began to introduce the evening itinerary, first experiencing the Tibetan customs, and then staying at the hotel. In order to better experience Tibetan folk customs, Budd taught us to learn a few simple Tibetan words. For example, the Tibetan pronunciation of handsome guys is close to Chinese "abnormal", and the Tibetan pronunciation of beautiful women is close to Chinese "abnormal", which makes everyone laugh. At about 7: 30, we arrived at our destination, a place called Longkang, surrounded by mountains and with a gentle slope in the middle. Many houses have been built on the slope, and a river with a width of four or five meters flows through it, which is very fast and rare in the Central Plains. When I got off the bus, the sun was about to set, the weather was fine, the sky was blue and white, and the sun shone from the mountain in the west and set on the mountain in the east. I took a random picture of the sky.

Later, Tibetan customs and experiences were very rich, including offering Hada, turning prayer wheels, tasting Tibetan special food, and Tibetan boys and girls singing and dancing. Everyone was very excited after a bumpy day in the car. The whole process takes about an hour, and in a blink of an eye, the last link of the custom experience-dancing around the bonfire. Everyone walked out of the room one after another, other teams were dancing, and we waited nearby. At this time, the pointer of the clock points to 2 1: 19.

At this moment, I just walked out of the room and walked down the steps. I felt the floor shaking, which was strange at first. Why is this floor alive? It seems that the ground in my impression is not made of wood. How can it sway? About 2 seconds, the power went out and it was dark. Immediately, someone screamed. Earthquake, earthquake, the scene is in chaos. Everyone in the room rushed outside and shouted their surnames to each other. Many people turn on the flashlight on their mobile phones and look for family and friends while lighting. I also quickly turned on my cell phone and saw that the cell phone signal was gone. Fortunately, my family and I are not far away. I was at the door and the two of them were not far behind me. We called each other's names. After finding them, we quickly held hands and told each other not to panic and not to separate. After a panic, everyone saw that the situation had not deteriorated further. The house didn't collapse, and no stones and clods rolled down the hillside. The order at the scene was slightly restored. At this time, Bud called out to the people in our team and told us to get on the bus and leave this place. The crowd quickly gathered and the driver started the car to go out. There are many cars and little space, so the car can hardly walk. At this time, Bud received the news that the road leading to the hotel had been blocked by a landslide. Bud said helplessly, he can only stay here first.

When I got on the bus, I found that some people's mobile phones were still working. I didn't know until I asked the other party, but the mobile signal was broken and China Unicom and Telecom were still normal. At this time, I deeply understood the necessity of dual-card mobile phones. About 20 minutes later, the news on the Internet came out. The earthquake of magnitude 6.5 in Jiuzhaigou County is 30 kilometers away from Jiuzhaigou County. However, we all don't know where we are. Where is the epicenter? I don't know how serious the earthquake is, so I can only wait helplessly. Halfway through the waiting, an old lady in her 60s from Shanghai, probably afraid, squatted down to the ground and began to cry. Everyone comforted her and said nothing, and her mood gradually calmed down.

Perhaps because of the fear of the unknown, people around Bud asked, "Do you often have such earthquakes here?" Can I still enter Jiuzhaigou tomorrow? Budd said with a smile, "Earthquakes are really frequent here. We are all used to earthquakes every once in a while." "The first earthquake was the most serious. Since it happened for the first time, the aftershocks will get smaller every time." "5. 12 How high the water was in Jiuzhaigou during the Wenchuan earthquake, it didn't open as usual the next day." After thinking about these words, it should be that Bud is comforting everyone and calming everyone's panic. At this time, a lot of people wrapped in white quilts appeared, all sleeping in hotels and didn't have time to get dressed. Later, some of them organized a fire on a Little Square, and many people gathered there to keep warm.

After about an hour, electricity came, and the light temporarily drove away the darkness and brought hope to people in the darkness. Subsequently, the mobile signal has also been restored. I have to spit out Huawei mate8 mobile phone here. With the same mobile signal, other brands of mobile phones can make phone calls, surf the Internet and send WeChat, but my mobile phone just doesn't work, and texting is ok. I can't hear clearly on the phone intermittently, and I can't surf the Internet. This situation continued until the next day, 30 kilometers away from the scenic spot, and the mobile phone returned to normal where the mobile phone signal was strong.

0 1 1 point, received the first greeting message. My colleagues at work knew that I was coming to Jiuzhai to play. When I saw the news, I couldn't get through, so I sent a message to say hello. I immediately replied to the news and reported peace. 12 o'clock, I received another greeting call, which also reported peace, and briefly described the situation here.

After the communication and power were restored, the scene order gradually returned to normal. Many people began to store water and food, and the doors of the two supermarkets were crowded with people, and there were many people charging their mobile phones. At this time, I saw four people carrying a person on a stretcher and quickly getting on the ambulance. Knowing that he lived upstairs, he jumped directly from the upstairs after the earthquake and fell. In addition, I also saw several ambulances pulling the alarm into the scenic spot.

At around 1 p.m., seven or eight armed policemen dressed in camouflage uniforms came to the scene. They say Jiuzhaigou scenic spot may form a dammed lake because of landslides. If it is broken, our current position may be submerged, and the tour guides and local residents are required to urgently organize tourists to evacuate to high places. Organized by tour guides and local residents, tourists began to move to high places. All the hotel doors and windows are open and empty. Many tourists pulled a white quilt from the hotel and wrapped it around them. More and more people like this. It is said that the Jiuzhaigou government finally gave quilts to tourists who didn't have them.

Guided by Budd, we stopped at a relatively high place, spread newspapers and quilts on the ground, and then sat down against a half-height wall, wrapped in quilts, and so on until five o'clock in the morning. In the middle of the night, I vaguely heard rumbling. My wife shouted to get up quickly. After getting up, I looked around and saw nothing. Could be an aftershock. My wife said that she didn't sleep for almost a night, and there were several such aftershocks in the evening. At the end of six o'clock, Bud woke us all up and told us that the road to the scenic spot had been opened, and the government informed us to evacuate the tourists as soon as possible. We quickly got on the bus and began to evacuate the scenic spot. Bud briefed us on what he had learned. For example, the earthquake has been upgraded to magnitude 7.0, and the epicenter is in Zhangzha town not far from us. People were killed at the performance site of Paradise Hotel and Jiuzhai, and more than a dozen people were killed. In this way, we began to evacuate Jiuzhai Scenic Area.

The process of leaving the scenic spot was basically smooth, except for the serious traffic jam. An hour and a half drive took three hours. My cell phone signal still shows a 2G signal, so I can't access the Internet. Until the moment when the cell phone signal was displayed as 4G signal, I suddenly received a phone call from a colleague and eagerly asked how it was now. Where is it now? Why is the phone always disconnected? I quickly explained it, and my heart was warm. After the phone call, I saw more than a dozen messages on WeChat, and then I received seven or eight calls, all of which were greetings from my brothers and sisters at work. At this moment, my heart is really touched. When we are in danger, so many brothers and sisters care about us. This kind of emotion is worth remembering all my life.

When I really feel jumpy, I watch the news and see the collapsed houses, cracked ground and cars under big rocks in the epicenter? Maybe we are in it and can't see the danger, but we are less than ten kilometers from the epicenter. On the way back, I kept seeing convoys of rescue and transportation materials entering the disaster area. In every county, there are tents filled with relief materials on the roadside, and the scenic spots provide free drinking water for tourists. Near a gas station in Mianyang city, there is a point where relief materials are piled up, and a big banner is hung, "Unity is strength?" Earthquake relief ",a tourist behind me sarcastically said," putting this here is all a show. " I immediately reminded him: "You were sleeping in the car just now, and there were many rescue points along the way. This is the biggest one. "

When he returned to Chengdu, Bud summarized his two-day trip. "The four-day trip turned into two days. A magnitude 7 earthquake hit us, but we are lucky that we are still safe and don't have to worry about Jiuzhai. After many years, you will find that these two days will be unforgettable memories in your life. " Finally, Bud told us that during the two-day trip, the driver should be the most grateful. After driving for two days, he only slept for two hours every night, which ensured everyone's safe evacuation. At about seven o'clock in the afternoon, we returned to Chengdu safely.

I stayed in Chengdu for another two days and met a college roommate. In fact, he traveled before us and took the route from Gannan to Jiuzhai. Seeing the photos of Gannan sent by him on WeChat, I thought I would meet him in Jiuzhai. After the August 8 earthquake, he was trapped in Songpan, and the way in and out was blocked by landslides. At this time, I left a message on the picture he sent saying, "Actually, I am in Jiuzhai." Then, we will meet in Chengdu. As soon as they met, both of them felt a sense of lingering. He said Songpan was 30 kilometers away from the epicenter. He lived on the third floor and felt a strong earthquake. Songpan earthquake is stronger than what I said about Longkang village. We can't explain these reasons. Finally, everyone drank a bottle of Jiang wine.

Two days' experience left too many memories and feelings. Budd's humorous and responsible tour guide, unknown driver's master, brothers and sisters who care about safety thousands of miles away, people in the epicenter helping themselves and each other, and so on. However, we have also seen and heard some unpleasant things. For example, some tourists took a lot of water from the hotel reception desk and put it in their cars when the hotel was empty. Some private cars backed up when they evacuated, which made it impossible for rescue vehicles to enter the disaster area smoothly. Some tourists beat the tour guide after returning to Chengdu because of a refund dispute with the tour guide.

Now that I've returned to China, I'm really filled with emotion when I think back on my experience these days. People can never predict the future, only grasp the present. When you are in trouble, you can only see your true feelings. The true feelings around you and the thoughts thousands of miles away are also worth remembering. After all this, can Jiuzhai be reborn and reproduce the beauty of the past?

Finally, I would like to express my sincere thanks to my brothers and sisters who have been concerned about my safety these days!
