Youth Out of the Rank —— The rite of blood coming of age in the flood peak of rainstorm
This is a relay between generations. The generation born and raised before and after the flood in 1998 grew up listening to the stories of heroes and longed to be heroes.
Twenty-two years later, the flood raged at home again, and they stepped forward, from being guarded to guarding others, and completed their adult ceremony in the storm peak.
Get out in the name of youth!
Take responsibility for the name of youth!

List for history: "Be who you were"
In mid-July, the Susong section of the Wanli Yangtze River levee in Anhui Province was hit by floods. Under the flood control shed, Shi Zhean, with dark skin, wiped the sweat on his face and picked up a bamboo stick to keep up with the patrol team. The green face was particularly conspicuous among this group of adults.
The main stream of the Yangtze River is affected by the long-term high water level, and rivers and lakes dikes are prone to landslides, leakage and other dangers. All parts of Anhui continue to strengthen dike inspection and defense, and Shi Zhean, who is studying at Anhui University of Technology, has also signed up.

This big boy who grew up by the river is no stranger to floods: "I heard from my parents that 22 years ago, floods flooded from here, and countless uncles and aunts protected our home. Now it’s my turn to protect them."
Behind him, the flood peak rushes under the embankment, and the red flag hunts on the embankment.
On July 9, Li Jianxiong patrolled the embankment in caidian district, Wuhan City, Hubei Province. Xinhua news agency
Show the red flag in your hand, and stand out in youth.
Up the river, Wuhan, Hubei. Li Jianxiong, a young man of the same age as Shi Zhean, signed up to join the militia commando to participate in flood control. In Xiaosi Township, caidian district, he and his colleagues have been fighting for more than ten hours since the early hours of the morning, and finally rushed to build a sub-dike nearly 200 meters before the rainstorm. At this time, he suddenly felt a pain, and his palm had worn out blisters.
"I signed up for the levee, which originated from the story of my parents."
When Li Jianxiong was born in 1998, his home was near the Hanjiang levee. Adults repeatedly told him: "At that time, the People’s Liberation Army was everywhere on the levee, and they protected us."
"When I was a child, I always thought that heroes were magical. This time, it’s our turn to stand up!" He said.
Who’s a child? He’s a soldier now.
Ma Changjie, a firefighter born in 1998, took part in the flood fighting for the first time in the fire rescue station of Gaocheng Road, jin an district, Lu ‘an City, Anhui Province. He carried other people’s parents and lifted other people’s children again and again in the water.
Zheng Zhiwei, a 22-year-old town cadre in Lucheng Town, Yunxi District, Yueyang City, Hunan Province, completed the preparation for party member to become a full member on the Yangtze River levee.

In 1998, Wang Han, a community worker in Wuhan, Hubei Province, was just 8 years old. At that time, the uncle of the People’s Liberation Army pushed a life raft in the water and sent the stranded students home one by one. This summer, she took the initiative to sign up and stood on the front line of flood control.
In 1998, on Xia Cai’s 7th birthday, his mother, who was on duty for the flood control, hurried home to make a chicken wing for him and left in a hurry. This year, he is a cadre of Nieshi Town, Linxiang City, Hunan Province. After staying on duty all night on the levee, he ate two eggs and celebrated his 29th birthday.
The generation born and raised around 1998 has a unique connection with the flood. Now, when we step into the society, we are baptized in the front line of fighting floods.
Liu Xin, secretary of the Wuhan Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League, said that young people in the new era are paying tribute to the thousands of flood-fighting heroes of that year with practical actions, inheriting the heroic tradition of the previous generation, and showing the more difficult and forward-looking youth.
"When we grow up, we will become you of that year!" In the turbulent flood, they completed the most beautiful "youth retrogression" again and again.
From generation to generation, how can China be afraid of the flood peak of rainstorm today?

Stand out for the people: Stand up the "backbone of youth" in the flood
Party flag Red, Camouflage Green, Volunteer Orange and Flame Blue … … The more we fight floods, the more colorful and bright the colors of youth will be.
Red is hot and dedication.
On the dam of Laoguanxu in xilian town, Yi ‘an District, Tongling City, Anhui Province, party flag fluttered in the wind, and Feng Haibo, a soldier of Hefei detachment of Anhui Armed Police Corps born in 2000, and his comrades arrived here. Not long ago, the young man took the initiative to register with the squadron party branch to participate in flood fighting and rescue.
"There is piping on the dike! Have to go into the water to block! " The captain shouted. At the scene of the danger, a puddle with a diameter of more than 4 meters and a depth of 1.5 meters appeared.
"Let me do it!" Many people haven’t heard it clearly, and Feng Haibo jumped into the puddle regardless of his life, followed by his comrades. After four hours of continuous fighting, they filled the potholes with sandbags weighing 30 kilograms.
"I didn’t step on the first foot, but I was still a little scared." Feng Haibo said, "I am guarding my second hometown, and my relatives in my hometown are also being guarded by my comrades."
On July 26th, Feng Haibo, a soldier of Hefei detachment of Anhui Armed Police Corps, and his comrades carried sandbags at Laoguanwei Dam in Yi ‘an District, Tongling City to deal with the danger. Xinhua news agency
Green is peace and security.
Born in 1998, Lu Wei, the deputy squad leader of the pioneer camp of Linfen Brigade, was from Jiangxi. He and his comrades in camouflage green went to Anhui County to complete the urgent tasks such as embankment construction and emergency rescue in many places, and fought for nearly 20 hours at a time.
"When I was a child, my mother often told the story of fighting floods in 1998. When I grew up, I decided to join the army to serve the country and the people, and now I have fulfilled my dream. " Lu Wei said.
Orange is warmth and enthusiasm.
From the banks of the Yangtze River to the banks of Dongting, from Poyang Lake to Wangjiaba, on the levee, you can always see batches of orange vests moving among the grass, carpet-checking and plugging.
Affected by continuous heavy rainfall, the Linhe dike in Xinjian Village, Jishan Town, Nanling County, Anhui Province is tight.
At the critical moment, a young volunteer commando team composed of college students stepped forward, and 20-year-old Liu Yinhui was one of them.
"We are young, physically fit and quick-witted. When the village is short of manpower, we signed up." Liu Yinhui said. He never complained when he patrolled the embankment and steamed in the sun on sunny days and drenched in rainy days. The flood control staff is short, and he always works after the day shift to continue the night shift.

Blue is pure and eternal.
Facing the blue flame at the highest temperature, firefighters never fear the strength of their opponents; In the face of turbulent floods, flame blue is still the protective color of thousands of families.
Li Shuai, a 26-year-old soldier of Fuyang Fire Rescue Detachment, and his colleagues carried boxes of mineral water, instant food and other daily necessities onto the assault boat and transported them to the villages in the flood storage area.
"My former unit participated in the flood fighting in 1998, and what I heard most was the deeds of veterans. Now, I want to show the spirit of the hero. " Li Shuai said.
Recently, the Anhui Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League called on young people to "get out of the ranks" and go against the current, and asked youth organizations at all levels to set up youth commandos and youth volunteer service teams. Under the leadership of the party Committee and government, flood control duty, dangerous situation investigation, mass transfer and psychological counseling were carried out in an orderly manner.
Turbid waves rolling, testing the quality of youth, stand up the backbone of youth.

Stand out for growth: "extraordinary experience" sharpens brilliant life
Gengzinian, 18 years old, is enough for Yin Mengxing to remember for a lifetime.
At this moment, he is standing on the Tongma levee of the Yangtze River, which is a hundred miles away from home in Anhui Province, and patrolling the levee with his comrades who are several decades older.
In mid-July, Anqing city on the north bank of the Yangtze River started the first-level emergency response to flood control, and the situation of Tongma levee was grim. Yin Mengxing, who lives in Zhenchang Village, Zuoba Township, and 10 villagers took the initiative to sign up to support Caohu Village, Huikou Town, Tongma Dike. They lived in a school next to the Dike, cooked their own meals and slept on their desks.
The first time to face the flood, the first collective life, the first night patrol … … He found that he had never walked such a long night, and he had been sleepless all night because of the snoring of his comrades.

Experience is more about growth. In the morning and evening, Yin Mengxing also re-recognized these predecessors around him. "Some grandfathers have participated in three floods and are old heroes who fought for the people."
This summer, he began to pay attention to the weather and news, and to the food and clothing of others.
A few months ago, when the COVID-19 epidemic was raging, Yin Mengxing was also the first to sign up for the prevention and control duty, and stayed at the village entrance for nearly a month.
"In the face of the disaster, I feel that the dolls in the village have grown up at once." Yin Bingyan, deputy director of Zhenchang Village Committee, said.
This flood is Yin Mengxing’s adult ceremony, and it is also the adult ceremony of countless peers.
Half a month ago, Zhang Chi, a senior three graduate of Anhui Xuancheng Middle School, was still called Zhang. Now, people call him "Miss Xiao Zhang".
Zhang Chi has a platform in the resettlement site of Shencun Town Central Primary School to guide the children transferred from the disaster to finish their summer homework and take them to run and exercise. The father was surprised and proud: the once shy son has become an independent man.
Suspension of classes due to epidemic situation and postponement of college entrance examination … … Zhang Chi once complained that the biggest change in 2020 is change, but in the front line of flood control, he increasingly believes that one thing will never change: "That is the confidence and tenacity we have in the face of sudden disasters."
The blood of youth under the fire and the young face in the flood peak make a generation stand proudly because of suffering.
This summer, every "back wave" embodies the power of Pentium.
In Hongshan District, Wuhan, Hubei Province, Zhou Liangyu, an 18-year-old boy, signed up for flood fighting. As soon as the college entrance examination was over, he went to the Yangtze River Wujindi non-stop; Zeng Huanjun, a junior, learned that Xinzhou District was recruiting flood control volunteers and did not hesitate to quit his summer job to apply.
In Hefei Binhu Century Community, a vanguard of the war "epidemic" composed of youth league members has rallied, and the first batch of volunteers are active in the front line of flood control … …
This summer, rivers, lakes and seas will finally be calm, but it seems that everyone believes that a huge wave is growing. (Participating in reporters: Zhu Qing, Wang Zichen, Ruan Zhou, star)
