Ice-a natural disaster.
Thawing of rivers When the temperature rises and returns in spring, the ice in the river begins to melt, and the decomposed ice flows down with the river and the river opens. However, not all river ice is thawed in such a gentle way, so that the river can be unimpeded. Sometimes it thaws quickly, especially when the temperature rises sharply or the water level rises sharply, large pieces of ice surge down, which is easy to freeze. Scientists have given interesting names to these two ways of opening rivers. The slowly thawing river is called "Kevin" River, and the rapidly thawing river is called "Wu Kai" River. Rivers from south to north are particularly easy to flow to Wukai River. When the upstream is already bright in spring, the downstream is still frozen for thousands of miles, and the meltwater flows down with ice, sometimes blocked, the water level rises, and sometimes the ice layer in the downstream suddenly breaks, thus forming huge ice rows and rushing down, which is serious to the bridge dam. Ice is the biggest threat to piers. In spring, when a large ice raft threatens the pier, it will be blown up by plane or other measures. Temporary flood caused by ice jam is called ice flood. The upper reaches of the Yellow River extend from Ningxia to Inner Mongolia, and the lower reaches of the Yellow River enter the sea in Shandong. Due to the northward flow of the reach, ice floods often occur. Danger is easy to occur during the ice flood season. First, the ice flood is fierce. Second, it is difficult to rescue the soil. According to statistics, before liberation, in the hundred years after the Yellow River was diverted, there were 35 breaches due to ice flood in Shandong alone, which caused great losses and pains to the people along the coast.
Ice flood mainly occurs in northern rivers such as the Yellow River and Songhua River. Because some river sections flow from low latitudes to high latitudes, when the temperature rises and rivers freeze, the upper reaches of low latitudes freeze first, and the lower reaches of high latitudes still freeze. The river water and ice cubes in the upper reaches accumulate in the lower riverbeds, forming ice dams, which are also easy to cause disasters. Ice floods may also occur when rivers freeze.

3. Names of people
In his creative career of nearly 30 years, Bing Ling has created a lot of works, among which humorous stories are the most distinctive and can best express his creative personality. His humorous stories are easy to understand, not pretentious, not mysterious, and often make readers taste a lot of fun inadvertently, which leads to a lot of thinking. He Zeng, a famous literary critic, called Ling Bing's humorous story "a beautiful landscape in contemporary literary world" and said: "A real humorous work always has its ideological bearing, which runs through a gloomy life, which is vividly shown in Mr. Ling Bing's works ... His works are full of wise and profound thinking about life and social history and culture, which can resolve disputes and make people think deeply." Zhang Yu, a famous novelist, said: "Mr. Bing Ling's humorous stories are rarely exaggerated, and he is not even prepared to make you laugh. It seems that the screenwriter didn't work hard on humor, but told you one plain story after another, which made you feel a knowing smile and a knowing joy. "
In recent years, Bing Ling has published the novella Stroke, Roommate and American Life trilogy. This is his first novella trilogy with the theme of marginal cultural life. In these novels, he still maintains a humorous style, leaving many "blanks" for readers to participate in reading and make a second "creation". I am currently writing the second trilogy in the novella series.
Bing Ling's ancestral home is in Haimen, Jiangsu, at the mouth of the Yangtze River, but he was born in Shanghai, in the Binjiang Building beside Suzhou Creek. /kloc-when I was 0/8 years old, I was sent to Fuzhou by my parents who were aided by Fujian. I just finished the first grade of primary school and the "Cultural Revolution" began. The decade from primary school to "high school graduation" is exactly the decade of "Cultural Revolution". Strictly speaking, he only attended school for one or two years. Fortunately, at the age of 16, he read several novels by writers such as Lu Xun, Sun Li, Zhang Tianyi and Chekhov in the Chinese textbook of a vocational high school next door. "The heart is like opening several skylights at the same time, and the sun is like a sword." From then on, he made up his mind to take the road of literature. He began to write novels. When he was at school, when he went to the countryside, when he returned to the city as a worker, he borrowed them from the office, transferred them to the newspaper, and lived in the United States until today. In a word, writing novels has become a very important thing in his life.
Bing Ling is a celebrity in the literary world. This is not only because of his novels, but also because of his series of social activities. 1996, 165438+ 10. In October, he founded the National Chinese Writers Association in the United States and served as its president. In the past five years, the Writers' Union has carried out a series of literary exchange activities, which have had a great impact, among which the most striking is the "five major projects" to promote Chinese culture and promote Sino-US literary exchange:
1May, 998, the first overseas "China Writers' Home" was established in Connecticut, USA with famous industrialists Shen and Ling Wenbi, specially to receive the visits and exchanges of China writers. Over the past few years, China Writers' Home has received a batch of China writers, which is called "warm home" by China writers.
1997 10 10 In October, Bing Ling proposed that China writers sign books at three famous American universities: Harvard, Yale and Columbia University. As a result, a large-scale book donation activity jointly organized by the Compilation Center of the Chinese Writers Association and the American Chinese Writers Association, which was called the "Literary Silk Road" by Literary Newspaper, lasted for more than a year, and * * * received more than 2,200 books signed by more than 400 China writers at home and abroad. The following June 165438+ 10, a delegation of China writers headed by Jiang Zilong, vice chairman of the Chinese Writers Association, and representatives of the All-American Chinese Writers Association held grand book-giving ceremonies in Yanjing Library of Harvard University, East Asia Library of Yale University and East Asia Library of Columbia University respectively, and presented these precious signature works to the library. People from political circles, cultural circles and educational circles in China and the United States spoke highly of this event, believing that it was an unprecedented event in the history of Sino-American literary exchange. During the donation of books, Bing Ling also organized a series of literary exchange activities between China and the United States. In this regard, Xinhua News Agency, People's Daily, China Radio International, China News Agency and American Chinese and English media all made a series of reports, praising this as "a new page in Sino-American literary exchange". Since then, China writers have been sending signature books through this simple channel, and he always sends them to the designated library in time. Up to now, there are more than 500 copies.
After living in the United States for several years, Bing Ling felt that foreign countries knew little about China literature, China writers and works, and China writers' great contribution to human civilization and world culture was neither known nor recognized by some institutions such as the Nobel Prize in Literature Jury. Faced with this situation, he felt it necessary to confidently introduce the great achievements and classic works of China writers to overseas. During the period of 1998, we organized a publicity column of "famous writers in China across the century", introduced famous writers in China in major overseas newspapers, and recommended many classic works by China writers to American sinologists and publishing houses. Up to now, he has published a long interview with dozens of famous writers in China, and he has written more than a dozen interviews himself.
1999, Ling Bing organized the All-American Chinese Writers Association to cooperate with the Compilation Center of the Chinese Writers Association again, and jointly produced the web pages of China Famous Writers and China Literature Landscape, which were officially launched in Boston, USA on June 5438+1 October1. More than 400 famous contemporary American writers' written introductions and color photos are published on the webpage, which has written a new chapter in the literary exchange between China and China.
On June 5438+ 10, 2000, after more than one year's preparation, the Nobel Prize in Literature China Writers Nomination Committee was formally established in new york, with Bing Ling and Wang Hailong, a famous scholar from Columbia University as the chairman. At the same time, it sent the first letter to the Nobel Prize in Literature Selection Committee nominating China writers to participate in the 2000 Nobel Prize in Literature Selection, and signed letters of support from more than 100 celebrities. The purpose of establishing the China Writers Nomination Committee is to nominate and recommend China writers to participate in the selection of Nobel Prize in Literature in the name of the American Chinese Writers Association every year.
The "Five Major Projects" not only cost energy and money, but also time, but Bing Ling enjoys it. In fact, he did much more than that. If the "five projects" are called five "long stories", there will be more activities that belong to "short stories". In recent years, he has organized a series of lectures on "China Culture", "China Literature" and "Comparison of Cultural Similarities and Differences between China and the United States". Organized and received many China writers to visit and exchange in the United States; Arranged press conferences and press conferences to publicize China literature and China writers; Organize exchanges with American writers; Recommended a number of works by China writers to sinologists and publishing houses; It also transmits the latest foreign literary information to domestic literary newspapers and helps domestic writers to contact foreign literary newspapers and periodicals for publication and agency. In addition, China writers' exchange and friendship, new book release conference, essay competition, literary awards and other activities were held, and literary and cultural activities such as poetry fairs, book fairs and Spring Festival parties were assisted.
At the same time, Bing Ling also served as the executive vice president of the US-China Association for the Promotion of Economy, Trade, Science and Technology, the executive vice president of the Fujian Association of the United States, the honorary president of Sichuan Qiaoguang Oriental Institute of Science, Technology and Culture, the special host of the China Forum of Yale University, and the editor-in-chief consultant of American Digest magazine.
Ice has a strong sense of mission and selfless dedication. Now he has passed the age of unrepentant, which is the golden age of his creation. However, he devoted himself to the literary world of China with the spirit of martyrs, and was busy with the literary exchange between China and the United States.
