For Zhu Ping, who goes to school nearly 2,000 kilometers away from home, "going home" may be her key word in July. Not long ago, my father was hospitalized because of a fracture, so this time Zhu Ping specially bought a bullet train ticket. Before that, she took the 28-hour express train home.
She should be home in 12 hours. On Sina Weibo, she once envied her middle school classmates who came home from their early holidays, but she had "two weeks left". When she wrote this, she simply used five exclamation points in one breath.
"Just wait for me in Wenzhou to eat, sleep and play with air conditioning." She said this to her classmates.
On the day before departure, the girl who loves to sleep on the phone will never wake up, fearing that she would miss the train. After setting the alarm clock, she specially asked her friend to "wake me up at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning".
On the morning of 23rd, 20-year-old Zhu Ping put on a light T-shirt and a red schoolbag, and set foot on her way home excitedly. Before leaving, the girl, who was "a little fresh in style" in the eyes of her classmates, updated her status on Renren.com: "Now, when I meet people near my village, I just want to know what she is about to see or what she remembers?"
On the same morning, Lu Haitian, a 2009 student from the School of Information Engineering, Communication University of China, also set off for the same destination. In the summer vacation of his sophomore year, he didn't plan to go back to his hometown in Anhui, but went to Wenzhou TV Station for an internship. In the eyes of his friends, this decision is not surprising. He likes to "cut films" and dreams of becoming an excellent TV reporter. To this end, he took a double degree in "Radio and Television Director" and was "very busy every day".
According to a friend's memory, in fact, Lu Haitian didn't know what he would do as an intern at Wenzhou TV Station, but he was still eagerly looking forward to this opportunity. At first, he just bought an ordinary berth ticket and said with satisfaction, "If the ticket is booked, social progress will be good." However, in order to start his internship faster, he changed this express ticket into a second-class ticket for the bullet train a few days before departure.
At 6: 00/2 on 23rd, at Communication University Station of Batong Line of Beijing Subway, Lu Haitian waved goodbye to his classmates.
At 7: 50, the D30 1 train from Beijing South Railway Station to Fuzhou and passing through Wenzhou South Railway Station started. Zhu Ping and Lu Haitian began their journey.
Later, people learned that Lu Haitian took the No.3 car of D30 1. But no one knows the exact seating information about Zhu Ping. Some people say that she is in car 5, while others disagree. So far, no one can tell.
After driving for almost 1 minute, the naughty boy picked up his mobile phone and updated his latest information on Renren. Com: "This second-class seat has changed into a sleeper. Quite fun. " Zhu Ping also sent a "show off" message to her roommate: she will "fly" home soon. On the bullet train, even the laptop became faster, and it only took 38 seconds to boot this time.
On D30 1 day, Lu Haitian and Zhu Ping's life trajectory approached. At school, although they both joined the Youth Volunteers Association, they didn't know each other.
The real life in Zhu Ping has almost just begun. Last semester of her freshman year, she fell in love for the first time, broke up for the first time, and then "put aside girlish feelings and devoted herself to work" and joined the technical department of the Student Union. In this department, which is responsible for broadcasting various school-level parties and competitions, editing is her main task.
My roommate still remembers that she often stayed up late for this, and sometimes she could only sleep for two hours in 24 hours. A brother also recalled that when the little girl appeared on campus, she was either working with a big camera on her shoulder or doing video editing with her laptop.
Just like those freshmen who just entered the university, this girl with an "apple face" is active in all kinds of extracurricular activities. She even took part in a chess match, which made her opponent "lose miserably".
Sometimes, this "post-90 s" girl will complain to her friends about how she "lost her girlhood". Later, she went to the mall and bought a pair of ribbon sandals with wedge shoes, which were matched with a plain pleated dress.
Huang Yining is a fellow countryman of Zhu Ping and an alumnus of the university. Until today, he always seems to see the moment when Zhu Ping first put on high heels. "That's what I think is the most beautiful thing about her." In the memory, the boy smiled.
But more often, Zhu Ping always wears "cheap clothes" to the streets. When the graduation season came, Zhu Ping rushed to the second-hand stall opened by graduates and bought a bunch of "good things". In those days, she was extremely happy.
She is always frugal in spending money on weekdays, and even doesn't go to 200 yuan for dinner every month. This may have something to do with her family. Neighbors know that Zhu Ping's father is over 80 years old and her mother is over 60 years old. This clever daughter is always unwilling to spend an extra dollar at home.
Even this trip to anxious to return's home, she didn't want to buy a plane ticket, but boarded the D30 1 train.
"The car is particularly stuffy, the seat is uncomfortable and I can't sleep well. I have seen three movies. " Zhu Ping complained in a short message to Huang Yining, "I am dizzy."
During this long and boring journey, Lu Haitian also used his mobile phone to surf the Internet to kill time. At noon, a friend left him a message on the Internet, "Is everything all right?"
He replied very briefly, "OK, thank you."
He can find many friends on the campus where Lu Haitian lives. The boy is 1.7 meters tall and is a basketball fan. The most admired star is jason kidd, who was named as one of the "Top Ten Point Guards in NBA History" because Kidd could help the team win the championship at the age of 38.
Brother Kitty Tse remembered. At that time, Kitty Tse didn't know this boy who was "as resilient as Kidd" and chased him all over the court. "I thought at the time, is this brother stupid? If he can't play, he knows to chase people everywhere. "
In fact, on the basketball court, the boy wearing the No.24 jersey is far less important than Kidd, and even "never has a fixed position". But on and off the court, he is a tireless boy. He used to be a volunteer at the China Open. "There are always voices calling for land, sea and sky in the walkie-talkie." When volunteers held a symposium in the lecture hall near 10 meters high, it was the same boy who took the initiative to set up a ladder and climbed to the ceiling to hang banners.
Wu wrote: "With good intentions, the task will be completed."
Even the night before he left school, he chatted with his classmates at the dinner table for a while about his life plan. According to his friend, "Lu Haitian hates cynics most and never scolds the government at ordinary times". If nothing happens, he may become a reporter and rush to the forefront of the news scene. Arriving in Wenzhou the next day should have been the starting point of this planned career.
On this high-speed train, there is not much information about land, sea and Zhu Ping. People can only rely on imagination and speculation to try to figure out how they spent the whole day. After all, at the other end of the railway track, it is career and family that wait for these two young people.
People sit quietly on the D30 1 train with a speed of about 200 kilometers per hour. As night fell, some people bought lunch boxes, scrambled eggs with braised prawns and tomatoes, some people were playing "fighting landlords" with iPad, and some people drank a cold Heineken beer.
According to the passengers' memories afterwards, the broadcast has informed the train to enter Wenzhou. No one knows what happened at that time, but Huang Yining received a short message from Zhu Ping at 20: 001:"Where are you? I saw lightning in the car. "
At that time, no one realized that the lightning that Zhu Ping saw might herald a catastrophe.
According to Xinhua News Agency, another bullet train D3 1 15 in front of D30 1 lost power after being struck by lightning. A passenger on D3 1 15 still remembers that at 20: 05, the bullet train didn't start. At 20: 15, the female train conductor announced through the train broadcast: "Dear passengers, due to the weather, there is a strong lightning ahead, and the train cannot operate normally. We are under the command of our superiors. I hope you can understand. "
Some people complain about flying to Wenzhou, and I'm afraid it will be late. But a minute later, D3 1 15 started again. Some passengers want to know, "What happened to the train after the storm? Climb slower than a snail. " Passengers about to get off at Wenzhou began to get up and pack their bags. After all, it's only 20 minutes away from home.
At 20: 24, Zhu Ping sent a text message to Huang Yining again. In addition to worrying about the acne on her face, she also blamed herself for "the achievements of this year, and it is really shameful to see her parents." But Huang Yining knew that Zhu Ping studied hard and got good grades. "But she is too strict with herself, and she plans to sprint the scholarship every exam." .
Zhu Ping, who has arrived in Wenzhou, also sent a short message to her roommate: "I finally went home! So happy! "
This may be the last message in her young life.
10 minutes later, on the viaduct of Xia 'ao Road, Shuangyu Road, Wenzhou, with a loud noise, the D30 1 that Zhu Ping and Lv Haitian were riding with 558 people crashed into D3 1 15 with 1072 people.
Two white "Harmony" cars are like toys twisted by angry children: cars D30 1 No.4 of the No.2 train are off the line, cars 1 No.2 and No.2 fall off the viaduct and are stacked together, and the No.4 car is directly inserted into the ground. The iron sheet on the surface of the train looks like shredded paper.
Lightning and heavy rain continued, and darkness enveloped the whole carriage. A daughter in a mother's arms was thrown under the opposite seat; A middle-aged man grasped the handrail tightly, but was quickly hit by a heavy object and lost consciousness. ...
People who came to the rescue nearby smashed double windows with stones, and survivors climbed out of the broken places one by one. People use billboards as stretchers. The ambulance hasn't come yet, but all the cars on the road stopped spontaneously to transport the wounded. Motorcycles can't carry people, so turn on the lights to help illuminate.
The carriage has been squeezed and deformed, and the passengers are tightly pressed by the seats and luggage, and only a faint cry for help can be made. The fireman broke the window with an axe. The reporter at the scene saw that at 23: 15, rescuers carried out a woman with short hair, but could not see life and death clearly; At 23: 25, a man wearing a black and white striped shirt was carried out, covered in blood; Subsequently, more injured people were carried out of the train.
Information about the disaster spread rapidly on the Internet, and people were horrified to find that "there are no bystanders in the tragedy, and each of us is a passenger on the high-speed China train".
At the same time, the world lost the news of Zhu Ping, land, sea and air.
In the QQ group of Wenzhou students of China Communication University, people are anxiously looking for students who may take this train home. Xiao Chen, a sophomore, arrived in Wenzhou by plane in the early hours of that night. Before the computer constantly updated the latest information, Xiao Chen remembered Zhu Ping who left this morning. He called Zhu Ping's cell phone many times, but no one answered.
Huang Yining hasn't received any short messages from Zhu Ping. When he learned about the accident at D30 1 on the Internet, he sent a short message to Zhu Ping in an impolite tone: "Please reply as soon as you see the news!"
Still no answer.
Afraid that Zhu Ping's mobile phone is out of power, Huang Yining only dares to make a phone call once every five minutes. No one answered most of the time, and sometimes there was a voice on the phone. "Every time I hear me on the phone, my heart will jump, thinking that it may be Zhu Ping on the phone."
But it's only because someone else is anxiously dialing this number.
Classmate Roya is looking for land, sea and sky. This semester is coming to an end. When assigning majors, Lu Haitian and Luo Ya joined the best radio and television engineering department in the school with top-notch results. This is Lu Haitian's favorite major, but they only held a class meeting once and even the professional class hasn't started yet.
Friends remember that on the last day of the semester, this "very literary young man" made an experimental defense on behalf of the group. Finally, he said, "OK, it's over!"
"Originally, shouldn't he say' thank you'?"
Lu Haitian's phone finally failed to get through. First, it was "temporarily unavailable" and soon it was "turned off". That night 10, Zhu Ping's cell phone was turned off.
On this rainy night, Huang Yining and Xiao Chen frantically searched for Zhu Ping who had lost news in Wenzhou.
About 200 injured people were sent to hospitals in the city, and there were many resettlement sites. Even the high school where Xiao Chen once attended has become one of the resettlement sites.
Weibo, looking for land, sea and air, was forwarded thousands of times. In the photo, he is wearing a blue jersey, whistling a metal whistle and smiling at the camera. But that night, no one saw the boy who was about 1.7 meters, wore glasses and had some pimples on his face.
At that time, the news that land, sea and air were on D30 1 had already spread. Friends comfort themselves: Lu Haitian is a rear-end car at D30 1, and the situation should be slightly better than D3 1 15. It is also known that passenger Wang Anman on D30 1 train has arrived home.
People are also looking for Zhu Ping, "female, 1.6 meters, medium build, wearing light-colored short sleeves, trousers, carrying a red schoolbag, and taking the D 30 1 bus."
People are still looking for Chen Bi, who is 30 years old and seven months pregnant, Zhou Aifang, who is a little chubby and carries a black bag, Yuchun Huang, a girl with short front teeth, and at least 70 passengers who lost contact with relatives and friends in this disaster.
An 8-year-old boy who was knocked unconscious by luggage woke up, tore open his luggage and iron pieces, crawled in the dark for more than ten minutes and found the car door. All the uninjured passengers around came to the rescue, but he just wanted to find his mother. Later, in the ambulance, he saw his mother. "I shook my mother desperately, but my mother just couldn't wake up."
After the rear-end collision, Pan Xiao, a high school and college classmate in Zhu Ping, also heard the news of Zhu Ping's disappearance. She dug up the high school alumni records and found Zhu's phone number in the information column. At 0: 33 on the 24th, she told her classmates in the QQ group that she dialed this number, but "only her mother was at home, and Zhu Ping never went back".
The mother, who is over sixty years old, doesn't know that her daughter's train has just entered a disaster that shocked the whole country. "Her mother doesn't know the news at all." Pan Xiao recalled the scene on the phone. Mother Zhu believes that her daughter hasn't arrived home yet, probably just because the ordinary train is late. She prepared a table of food and continued to wait for her daughter's return.
At 3 am, Huang Yining and Xiao Chen went to the hospital separately to look for Zhu Ping who had been missing for 7 hours. They first turned over the list in the emergency department, and then went to the floors of the inpatient department to ask the nurses on duty.
The broadcast continued, and the night shift host told anxious people that only a few seriously injured people would be sent to the Third Affiliated Hospital and the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical College. At that time, Huang Yining did not believe that Zhu Ping was a "very few people". In the hospital, death happens from time to time.
When Huang Yining saw it, an old doctor told his family with an ID card that the man was dead, and his heart was tight. Some of the dead can't be identified by their appearance. A husband finally recognized his wife with a Cartier ring on her finger.
But Zhu Ping seems to have disappeared from this world, and no one knows her whereabouts.
When Xiao Chen finally found the First Affiliated Hospital, he indicated to the nurse that she was a girl in her twenties, 1.6 meters high. The nurse's expression was very shocked. "Are you her family?"
At that time, Xiao Chen suddenly realized that the glimmer of hope he had held before had also gone up in smoke. He saw a photo from the nurse when he was rescued, so he went to identify the body with the master who managed the morgue. The girl's face is only slightly bruised and her hair is still messy. "The expression is not painful at all, just like sleeping in the middle, even the corners of the mouth are slightly tilted."
He can't believe this is his "sister steamed stuffed bun". But, yes. He then called several other students. "I found Zhu Ping. He is in the First Affiliated Hospital."
Huang Yining saw Chen Xiao when he rushed into the hospital gate. "Where is Zhu Ping?"
Xiao Chenmei spoke and hugged Huang Yining's shoulder. After a while, she said, "Zhu Ping died."
Two boys were sitting on the edge of the flower bed, tears kept falling. Xiao Chen added, "Maybe my illegitimate child is wrong, so let you have a look."
Huang Yining finally saw the girl in the freezer. A few pimples grew on her face, and the necklace pendant around her neck was a small brass camera, which he and Zhu Ping bought in a small shop in Nanluoguxiang, Beijing, and was regarded as a treasure by Zhu Ping.
That day, they watched the "big white beast" in this alley together. "It's just a goose with a bad cry." On that day, Zhu Ping showed the "Yaohao" software downloaded from his mobile phone with 3 yuan money, and also shook a "sign" for himself.
"You know what? We are going to go back to Wenzhou to play together and eat seafood together. But watching her lying in the morgue, I can't accept it. " Recalling this, Huang Yining could no longer speak and burst into tears.
Zhu Ping was taken to the hospital at 22: 44 on the 23rd, and died after being rescued around 23: 00.
At 2 1: 50, Lu Haitian dug out of the falling carriage was sent to Lucheng District People's Hospital in Wenzhou. According to the memory of the attending doctor, he had suffered a strong impact, craniocerebral injury, pelvic fracture and abdominal bleeding. After a few minutes, his heart stopped beating and his pupils dilated. After a whole hour of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, there was still no sign of recovery, and he was declared dead.
In the tragic collision of D30 1 train, the life trajectories of two young people finally met and broke together. The train crashed everything before taking them to their destination.
At dawn, the news has confirmed the news of the death of land, sea and field, but no one believes it. Someone wrote in Weibo: "I can't believe it, and I don't want to believe it! I hope to have more exact news! "
The talented Lu Hai has just left school, and his photos are still in this world. This boy, who always wears sportswear, sometimes plays handsome in front of the camera, sometimes picks up his mobile phone to take a selfie in the mirror, and sometimes takes pictures with a microphone.
Until noon on the 24th, someone still asked anxiously, "Where are you? I can't get through calling you. " Someone shouted at him in his blog: "Lu Haitian, where are you?" Can you answer? ! ! "The friend who waved goodbye to him at the subway station can only say to him," Good night, brother. "
Zhu Ping's missing Weibo is still forwarding, and the number left by the missing person has received "numerous phone calls and text messages", some of which even came from Yunnan and Guizhou. They said that they just "want to cheer for Zhu Ping".
But by then, Zhu Ping's brother had confirmed his sister's identity in the hospital. He pleaded with his classmates in Zhu Ping that his parents were old, so as not to stimulate the elderly, the news of Zhu Ping's death would be released later. Those young people who already know Zhu Ping's death have to keep the truth to themselves, and then keep telling anxious people, "I'm still looking, don't listen to rumors".
The death of this round-faced girl was not known to her parents until noon on the 24th. Sad mother couldn't speak any more, but cried all day and said, "My little Zhu Ping will come back, she will come back."
Huang Yining always thinks that Zhu Ping is still alive. Just before the end of the semester, she bought a "cheap and easy to use" lens and proudly told her friends, "I want to go home and take more good photos for my parents."
Huang Yining still remembers that Zhu Ping said that he would come back to eat "bubbles" (Wenzhou snacks) with him, that he would lend him his newly bought lens and promised him to paint the walls in his new home. "Zhu Ping, I miss you very much ... but I hope my thoughts didn't stop you. Please take a big step forward. " Huang Yining wrote in the log in the early morning of 26th.
He also thought, if this train can reach the station, "will I suddenly fall in love with you one day?"
The reflection of flowers and trees in the sun is still in the girl's camera; The draft book is also full of big-eyed girls scribbled casually by this girl; Her favorite Japanese drama "Ying Long" is still on; The important task of this summer has not been completed. She teased herself on Weibo that she was "not thin and sad" ...
But Zhu Ping is gone.
According to the news released by Xinhua News Agency, as of 23: 00 on the 25th, the rear-end collision of the first car has caused 39 deaths. The deceased included Pan Yiheng, the driver of the D30/KLOC-0 train. When the accident happened, the driver who had been driving safely 18 took emergency braking measures. In the badly deformed cab, his chest was pierced by the brake handle. The dead also include Zhu Ping, who just turned 20, and Lu Haitian.
On the evening of 23rd, around 22 o'clock, Zhu Ping's phone rang. Mother Zhu hurriedly ran out of the kitchen to answer the phone, and the caller ID was Zhu Ping's mobile phone. "Are you there?" Mom asked excitedly.
I didn't hear my daughter's answer on the phone, only a slight noise came from the receiver. The mother thought that she would see her daughter soon, and thought it was just a cell phone signal.
There seems to be no other possibility-that's the last message that Zhu Ping, who was seriously injured, tried her best to leave for her mother on the train that she would never arrive.
