I wonder if anyone else remembers a soldier who touched a city with practical actions 13 years ago. He is Meng Xiangbin, the person of the year who touched China on 20 17. Before he was 30, he jumped and saved a life. 13 years have passed. What about his wife and daughter?
Soldiers defending the motherland.
Meng Xiangbin was born in Qihe County, Dezhou, Shandong Province, an ordinary peasant family. At an early age, he was determined to join the army in the future and defend his country. With this belief, after graduating from high school, I came to Lanzhou Military Region and joined the ranks of soldiers. Although life in the army was very hard, Meng Xiangbin made preparations before joining the army, which was an experience for him.
The hard life in the army also cultivated his perseverance. He will "be in the light, learn to be rational, and do things rationally." As your motto. After being a soldier, he has a small goal, that is, he can continue to enter the campus for further study.
He aims at China People's Liberation Army Information Engineering University. Many things happen. The organization thinks that Meng Xiangbin has made outstanding achievements in his work, so he is recommended to study in China People's Liberation Army Information Engineering University according to his wishes. While studying in university, Meng Xiangbin joined China and vowed to serve the people wholeheartedly.
After graduating from college, he returned to the army as a lieutenant officer with a bright future. During his college years, he also gained his own love, and after graduation, they entered the marriage hall. They gave birth to a lovely daughter soon after their marriage. The sweet and loving world of two people has become a happy family of three.
Because of work, Meng Xiangbin and his family are separated. He always feels guilty about his wife Ye Qinghua and his daughter. His wife didn't complain at all, just let him work hard in the army, and her parents and daughters at home will be taken care of by her. Don't worry.
The fall of life
At the end of June, 2007, Meng Xiangbin finally finished several months' arduous training tasks, and finally had a holiday. He immediately packed his things and went home to accompany his wife and daughter during this hard-won holiday. The wife and daughter were very happy to see Meng Xiangbin finally get a chance to go home, and the family prepared a sumptuous dinner early.
The family enjoyed the rare reunion. After a few days' rest at home, Meng Xiangbin took his wife and daughter to go shopping in the city. Just as they passed the Chengnan Bridge, they found a young woman in a red coat talking on the phone. Not long after, the young woman suddenly dropped her mobile phone on the ground, climbed the railing and jumped into the river.
After seeing someone fall into the water, Meng Xiangbin did not hesitate to take off his thick coat out of the soldier's instinct. To reassure his wife, he told her that he could swim. So I stood on a bridge more than ten meters high and jumped down. It was winter and the river was very cold.
Because Meng Xiangbin didn't make any warm-up preparations, the cold river quickly wrapped Meng Xiangbin's body after he jumped, which made it particularly difficult for Meng Xiangbin to find someone in the water. After finally seeing the girl, he immediately swam to the girl, helped her up again and again and swam to the shore.
With indomitable spirit, Meng Xiangbin pushed the girl into the lifeboat with her last strength. After finishing the last step, he also consumed all his physical strength. He just said I couldn't stand it and sank to the bottom of the river.
After seeing her husband sink into the bottom of the river, his wife Ye Qinghua was heartbroken. She rushed to the railing several times to look for her husband who sank to the bottom of the river, and was finally stopped by good people around her. Finally, the search and rescue personnel brought a cold body, and a 28-year-old young life fell like this.
A person touched a city.
The story that Meng Xiangbin gave his life to save lives touched everyone. Many citizens spontaneously came to the railings in Meng Xiangbin to mourn, and some citizens held up banners of "Mourning the Hero Meng Xiangbin". Not long after, more and more citizens came here to mourn and even caused traffic jams.
Hundreds of officers from the Meng Xiangbin Army also came to the scene and introduced Huang Juhua. Thousands of citizens spontaneously lined up on the south bridge of the city. In addition to Jinhua citizens, many netizens have learned about this matter. A candlelight vigil was launched at the New Jinhua Forum.
At night, hundreds of meters of wreaths have been laid on the Chengnan Bridge. The citizens at the scene lit candles, which pinned Jinhua people's endless condolences and memories of this hero who gave his life to save lives. On February 5th, 65438, Meng Xiangbin's relatives took his ashes with them, and under the watchful eyes of military commanders and leaders of civilian government, they embarked on a journey back to Shandong.
On the way from the funeral home to the station, people holding yellow flowers were crowded, and they all watched the hero leave. The railway station that day has been echoing the songs played by Jinhua people for heroes. People from all corners of the country mourned for it in the carriage. In the cold wind, tens of thousands of residents in Qihe County spontaneously came to the station to welcome the hero home.
Follow the example of father.
13 years, two boundless years of life and death. The year Meng Xiangbin died, Ye Qinghua had just turned 30, and his daughter was less than 3 years old. Ye Qinghua once said that although her husband's departure made her sad, as a wife, she was deeply moved and shocked. Ye Qinghua took care of her elderly parents and young daughter and made a promise to her husband.
During 13 years, as a woman, Ye Qinghua was also vulnerable and helpless. However, the identity of the military spouse made her face up in the most difficult days. Ye Qinghua has been educating her young daughter with optimism. Under the mother's education, the young daughter is determined to be like her father when she grows up.
Now, my daughter is a high school student. She takes people's teachers as her goal, and she wants to learn from her father and make contributions to society. Meng Xiangbin always donated part of his monthly salary to those in need before he died. Ye Qinghua also inherited her husband's ambition and gave part of her salary every month to help some children in need. Now she has sponsored more than 10 children, some of whom have gone to college.
The same life, the same family, Meng Xiangbin, a soldier, fell brilliantly again and again for another young life. There is no doubt that Meng Xiangbin is a revolutionary soldier in the new era. He played the most shocking voice with practical actions, which is the true style of the people's army in the new era.
