1998 When he attacked Jiujiang, he was an iron-blooded general commanding thousands of troops, but he shed tears. Perhaps he was grateful to the soldiers who struggled with the flood on the dam from the bottom of his heart, but at this moment, he expressed it with tears and watched his soldiers leave with tears! Pay tribute to the people's soldiers! Pay tribute to our good general! Salute! Dong, deputy commander of Nanjing Military Region, and Lei, deputy political commissar! In the afternoon, the news of the breach of Jiujiang Yangtze River levee reached Zhongnanhai. When President Jiang learned of this incident, he personally called Zhang Wannian, Vice President, and instructed him to dispatch troops in time to support Jiujiang's emergency rescue. Chen Bingde, commander of Nanjing Military Region, got a call from Vice Chairman Zhang and immediately issued the order to send more troops to Jiujiang together with the political commissar. At the same time, Dong, deputy commander of the provincial military region, led a capable command team and flew from Nanjing to Jiujiang by the plane on duty in the provincial military region to command at the scene. Blocking the breakthrough, the decisive battle is imminent. Dong has been commanding on the levee for five days and nights. He has been turned into charcoal by the sun, and his face has lost a layer of skin. Lieutenant General, who is famous for his strict management of the army, also has a fatherly heart. His son, Captain Dong Sanrong, is also in the flood fighting team. He is the platoon leader of the famous "Red Knife Company".

When my father was still at the Longkaihe construction site, he accompanied Yu Yongbo, director of the General Political Department, to visit the officers and men of the Red Knife Company. I met this dark and thin second lieutenant's son twice. The second time I saw my son who was a head taller than myself, the general only said, "Look at your hands, they are not as black as me." Dong Sanrong smiled shyly. In fact, in the company, he has been called "sir" by the soldiers and is recognized as the blackest person in the platoon. Dong doesn't care about his son, but he cares about his soldiers. More than once, he was moved to tears by the heroic deeds of the soldiers around him who risked their lives to block the gap. He always tells reporters not to write about him, but more about the officers and men fighting in the front line. He said: "I can't tell you how many heroes there are among the officers and men. But I can tell you that every one of them is a hero and has a series of stories that make people cry ... "1998 In summer, there were heavy rains in most parts of Jiangnan, South China and North China. The main stream of the Yangtze River, Poyang Lake, Dongting Lake water system, Pearl River, Minjiang River, Nenjiang River, Songhua River and other rivers have experienced catastrophic floods in history. The number of people affected, the wide area and the long duration are rare in the world. Under the wise leadership and decision-making of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, millions of soldiers and civilians unite to fight floods, and one party is in trouble and all parties support it. The sons and daughters of China have composed one song after another with iron will and fearless heroism. The spirit of fighting floods is: United as one, United as one, not afraid of difficulties, tenacious struggle, perseverance and courage to win.
