[Beixun City Public Security Fire Brigade, Special Division Squadron] [Lei Dagang]
[Beixun City Public Security Fire Brigade, Special Division Squadron] Command Center. I'm Meng Guohong. Our team has arrived at Minshi County. Please give your order. [Meng Guohong]
[Beixun City Public Security Fire Brigade, Special Division Squadron] Command Center here, copy. Please go to Jingde Secondary School for backup. Roger. Attention, all teams. Our destination is Jingde Secondary School. Copy that. [Fang Xiangqian]
[Beixun City Public Security Fire Brigade, Special Division Squadron] Everyone, be careful. Beware of aftershock. Beware of secondary collapse. Watch your step at all times, and do not fall. Look out for knocking sounds when you are searching. [Yang Zhengang]
[Beixun City Public Security Fire Brigade, Special Division Squadron] Listen carefully. Pay attention. Okay. Dig a bit in this direction. Dig a bit over here. Follow me. OK. Captain Meng. The school was in session when the earthquake struck. Most teachers and students evacuated. But some of them were buried under the debris. We're unclear about the situation down there, so we didn't use heavy rescue equipment. We can only dig them out by hand. Be careful of aftershocks! Are you okay? Are you okay? I'm fine! I’m fine. I’m fine. Special Division Squadron One. Prepare to search and rescue. Yes. Yes. Yijiu? Yijiu? Shiquan. Don't move! There are two rocks on your chest. Shiquan! Don't move. Don't be afraid. Someone will come and save us. We'll get out together. Hold it. Don't sleep. [4 hours after the earthquake] There's someone inside! What's the situation? [Liu Ruyi]
[Beixun City Public Security Fire Brigade, Special Division Squadron] Can you hear me? Two people are trapped here. Save the one above first. Come on. No big movements. There's someone down there. Save the one down there first. Young man. It's okay. We'll save both of you. Set up the ejector rod. Dig with your hands. Don't move that slab! Who are you? Yu Qilei. [Yu Qilei]
[structural engineer] I'm a structural engineer. I happened to be on a business trip here. I should be able to help you. Everyone, stay still. Beware of secondary collapse. Let me help you find the order of dismantling. This supporting joint on the left. This joint needs to be reinforced. Do it slowly. Here? Yes. It's easier to save the person above. If we want to pull the person below out, I'm afraid the top can't hold it. As long as you avoid the slab on the left, it doesn't matter how much vertical force you apply. We need a stay bar right now. Okay. Be careful. Now we can start lifting. A structural engineer. A professional one, right? Trust me. Get ready. Let's use more strength. Come on. One, two, three. [10 hours after the earthquake] Team One, take a ten-minute break. Team Two, take a rest in the safe zone. Team Three, search and rescue. I called your team leader. They said you were at the epicenter. They couldn't reach you. I thought I'd never see you again. [Milan] Don't worry. I’ve been evacuated to a safe place. When I get back, let's take the wedding photos. Can you hear a kid singing? Captain Meng. I keep hearing a kid singing. Remember this voice. But don't be distracted by it. The next 48 hours are very important. Let's save one first. And then another. We'll save them one by one. Save one first. And then another. We'll save them one by one. Let's go. Off to save people. We'll save them one by one! Watch out for that rock under your feet. [14 hours after the earthquake] Come on. Pull. One, two, three! Slow down. Slow down. Don't worry about me! Pull the child out first! Hurry up. Get out quickly. Take him away. - Okay. [21 hours after the earthquake] Beware of aftershock. Hurry up. Hurry up. Hang in there. Doctor! Doctor! [30 hours after the earthquake] Hurry up. Hurry up. [36 hours after the earthquake] Be careful. Use your strength! Here. [38 hours after the earthquake] A kid is singing. He keeps singing. He's still singing. Someone must still be buried there, waiting for us. We are their last hope. I have to find him. I must save him. Do you hear it? -Yes. -Yes. This is it. Get the equipment. Hurry! -Get the stay bar. -Get the rope. Here. Kid! We're here to save you. Make a sound and wait for me. Keep singing! The structure inside is unstable. The entrance can only be this big. The space is too small. Only one person can go in. I'll go in with the rope. We'll do the support protection. Clear the entrance. Here, the rope. Give me the stay bar. Be careful. Stabilize that side too. Be careful. Use bricks to protect that supporting joint. Come, give me a hand. Go! Be careful. Watch your head. Be careful. If the point of force loosens, let us know immediately. Kid. Don't sleep, kid. Wake up. I'm here to save you. How are you? Don't sleep. Kid. Wake up. What's your name? Uncle. My eyes don't work anymore. Can you help me take a look? My younger sister. How is she? Your sister... She's fine. She's good. I need to cut something off you. It'll hurt a little. Hang in there. We'll get you out of here. You'll be out of here in no time. What song were you singing just now? Sing it to me again. Kid. Wake up. Wake up. Alright. Kid. I'm going to give you a small tug. Let me take a look. Let me check behind you. Kid, you have to hang in there, okay? I'll help you sit up. How is the kid? Give me one more minute. Kid. Don't sleep. Wake up. Wake up, okay? Don't move. Don't move. The aftershock is coming. Pull him out! Start pulling! Let go. Let go! Don't pull me! Don't pull me! Don't pull me! Don't pull me! Come help! Lin! Stop digging. Stop digging! I said stop digging! I told you not to pull me out. Didn't you hear me? Did you hear me or not? Why? Calm down. What are you doing? If I didn't pull you out, you would be buried inside. If you had given me five more seconds, I'd have been able to save the kid. Why? There are others waiting for us to save them. Calm down. Keep searching. Lin, you did your best. Let's continue to save the others. [42 hours after the earthquake] We'll continue searching in five minutes. Everyone, get some rest. [Xu Jianfei]
[Nanbin City Public Security Fire Brigade, Special Division Squadron] Do you still want to be my disciple? Back then, during my first major mission, my unit leader, who was also my mentor, told me something. He said, Jianfei, you must be mentally prepared today. You might have done nothing wrong. But in the end, you would still feel helpless. But you can't stop to feel disappointed. You have to stand up and continue your work. A firefighter must race against time. It's okay for ordinary people to dwell on their emotions. But it's too extravagant for rescue personnel like us. We can only move forward. Many people are waiting for us to save them. We are their only hope. We can't save everyone. But we can always save one more. Everyone. The golden 72 hours haven't passed. Keep fighting! Yes! A strong 6.9 magnitude earthquake struck without warning. In just 80 seconds, tens of thousands of lives were pushed to the edge of death. Binjiang Fire Brigade dispatched an advance party of 30 men to carry emergency rescue equipment and medicine and arrive at the epicenter zone first. Beixun Branch, Nanbin Branch, Donglin Branch, and other emergency rescue teams dispatched 160 firefighters, seven excavators, loading machines, and other emergency rescue vehicles. Equipped with life detectors, dismantling tools, and other professional equipment, they entered the epicenter zone. Seven aftershocks have occurred near the epicenter. Most of the aftershocks were at a depth of 35 kilometers. The maximum magnitude was 5.2. It struck about 25 minutes after the first earthquake. All rescue forces continue to prioritize the safety and property of the affected victims. They race against the clock to save people to their best ability. [46-124 hours after the earthquake] [Beixun City] The rescue mission is over. We've done our best. Actually, in our team, there are a few new members. They had never seen bloody bodies or experienced death and departure. It was their first time, but we were able to face such a cruel scene and devote ourselves to the mission. I would like to thank everyone here. I know it's hard on all of us. So I came here today to have a talk with everyone. If you have anything on your mind, just say it. Lin Luxiao. Yes. Lou Mingye. Yes. What happened to you two at the scene that day? Lin Luxiao. That day, you were obviously out of control. Today, in front of everyone, apologize. Yes. I apologize. No need. I don’t need your apology. Captain Meng, I think this rescue mission revealed a lot of problems. The lack of training preparation, lack of technical equipment, and some members at the scene obviously lacked self-protection awareness. He ignored the objective environment, was reckless, and blindly conducted rescues. He should reflect on himself. What do you mean? I mean it literally. Rescue is about teamwork. If you had listened to me that day and given me a few seconds, even if I died, that kid would have been saved. Let's not talk about whether you can do it or not. What I want to say today is, our duty is to conduct scientific and reasonable rescues, not a life for a life. Our duty is to protect the people and prepare to sacrifice at any time. If everyone shuns danger like you, what do they have us for? What can the people depend on you for? Bravery and professionalism are not mutually exclusive. Captain Meng, I think if Lin Luxiao takes part in rescue missions with the idea of life for life every time, it is very dangerous. You're being irresponsible. Are you done? Are you done? The question you asked today is also a question we've been discussing. But I won't give you an answer today. I hope you two can go back and think about it. In the future work and life, the two of you will find the answer that suits you. In terms of emotions, resolve it yourself. In terms of discipline... Lin Luxiao. Yes. Reflect on yourself and your actions. Yes. Sit. It's good not to go on missions too. Take it as a break. Take this opportunity to recuperate. Lou Mingqiao. Don't stop me. We've been through thick and thin together. Why did you have to say that in front of our leader? Tell me, why? What kind of attitude is that? I’m your master after all. Captain Meng. I heard the squadron is offering a chance to study abroad. I want to apply to study abroad. [Beixun City Public Security Fire Brigade Special Divison] Hello, how can I help you? I'm looking for a firefighter. What's his name? I don't know his name. I only know his serial number. Captain Wu. Why are you here? I’m here to see Unit Leader Xu. Last time, our spar was interrupted by a duty call. I took Unit Leader Xu's fire suit in a hurry. I'm here to return it today. Follow me. Unit Leader Xu's family is on their way. You'll have to learn by yourself [Martyr's certificate] the things he didn't have the chance to teach you. [Nanbin Special Division 1120] Unit leader. Let me be your disciple. Teach me this skill. Disciple? You're kidding, right? We're just sharing experiences. This is just too amazing. Unit 1 and Unit 2. Board the vehicle. Yes. Don't forget to teach me. Teach what? I'll come back for you. Be careful. I saw the news about the rescue. Today, you really did Nanbin and me proud. What do you mean by that? You're wearing my suit. I took the wrong one. I was in a hurry. No worries. I'll wash it for you and send it back after it's dry. While we're at it, you can teach me that egg-cutting trick. Emergency rescue. Emergency rescue. A 6.9 magnitude earthquake struck Minshi County. Dispatching Vehicles One, Two, and Three. Oh no. An earthquake struck Minshi County. We received the announcement here too. Be careful. See you at the scene. [Nanbin Special Division 1120] Hello. [Reception Room] Hello. Have a seat. Miss, are you looking for 1120? May I meet him? Why are you looking for him? He saved me. I want to thank him in person. I want to know his name. You're late. His name was Xu Jianfei. He died in an earthquake rescue operation not long ago. Don't be afraid. I'll get you out of here. [Nanbin Special Division 1120] [Four years later] Salute to the flag. [Beixun Fire and Rescue Brigade Flag reception, title, and dressing ceremony] March forward. [China Fire and Rescue] I swear. I volunteered to join the National Fire and Rescue Team. I will be loyal to the party, and uphold strict discipline. I will do my best to serve the people. I am determined to obey orders. I will obey commands and fulfill my duties. I will train hard and fear no danger. I will not fear sacrifices. To protect the safety of the people's life and properties and maintain social stability, I will contribute everything. I stand by this oath. [China Fire and Rescue] By the looks of it, he's had about half a catty of Baijiu. There are also three to four bottles of beer around. He must have drunk a lot. Don't provoke him. [Yu Qilei, Deputy Director of Heping Road Special Division Station]
[Liu Ruyi, Director's Assistant of Heping Road Special Division Station] -Distract him and find a chance to strike. -Alone, I can drink whenever I want. If I want Baijiu, I'll drink Baijiu! If I want beer, I'll drink beer! You? Abandon me? No! I'm the one abandoning all of you! Hey, bro. Fellow townsman. Well... If you have any problem that is bothering you, you can tell us. Maybe we can help you think of a solution. Get lost! Leave me alone! Get lost! -Bro, hey! -Get lost! Calm down. [Lei Dagang, Combat Unit 2 of Heping Road Special Division Station] Everything can be resolved. Come down here, let's talk. [Beixun Beer] [Lin Luxiao, Director of Heping Road Special Division Station] Let me drink with you. Ignore them. Are you drunk? Who are you calling drunk? I'm not drunk. I'll drink with you. Fine, don't go. Let's have a duel. What do you want to play? Do you know the finger-guessing game? Sure, let's play that. OK. Come on. Two brothers get together. The top five. Six, six, six. The top five. -The top five. -Six, six, six. It's full. It's full. You said it. You can't hold your alcohol, and you're a bad drinker too. I won't drink with you anymore. Who are you calling a bad drinker? You... You lost, you have to drink! Are you drinking or not? If not, I won't drink with you anymore. Don't go! You're cheating! You... Don't go! You cheater! We're done, let's go. You cheater! What are you doing? I want to file a complaint. At that time, the situation at the scene was quite urgent. Even Director Lin, who was on leave, came to help. Why is he here? Who? Your good disciple. I don't have such a disciple. How offputting. [Lou Mingye, Inspector of Beixun City Fire and Rescue Brigade] You led your team and broke a few rules today. I will be reporting all of them to the Brigade. You saw the situation yourself. We couldn't use the air cushion because of the platform up there. And the instigator... Just look at him. He is of extremely unsound mind. What was I supposed to do instead of tricking him into coming down? I don't care about your ways and methods. But this is a public space. As the leader, have you considered what influence your actions will bring? I'm here to save people. Does it matter how I do it? I'm here to inspect. And I think your performance is not enough to qualify for the excellent director selection. Alright. Understood. Lin Luxiao. Don't slip up. I have my eyes on you. [Tips for Fire Safety] During an earthquake, what can we do to protect ourselves? Our basic principle is to shelter in place during the quake and evacuate quickly after the quake. First, remain calm. If you're on the first floor, you should quickly run outside and stay away from buildings that might collapse. If you're on high floors and can't get out of the building, you should seek shelter in bathrooms, storage rooms, or any small room with load-bearing walls. Alternatively, crouch down beside sofas, beds, or any furniture that can form a triangular space during the collapse. Protect your neck and head with clothes. At the same time, we must remember to never approach windows and balconies. Because doors and windows will deform rapidly and may collapse at any time. You must not jump off a building or take the elevator either. Stay away from electric sockets and appliances. Stay away from flammable and explosive products. ♫Lament how people come and go♫ ♫Dust drifts before it disperses♫ ♫Have the passion for love♫ ♫While pain can only be buried deep♫ ♫Promise that you can rely on me tomorrow♫ ♫Reversers bear light♫ ♫To light up our lives♫ ♫Life is burning hot♫ ♫Fate was once burnt by ideals♫ ♫Not afraid of hurting♫ ♫Bright eyes in the dark♫ ♫Hold the radiance in the dark♫ ♫Illuminating the insignificant existence♫ ♫Tear the darkness apart and illuminate the sky♫ ♫Get rid of the darkness and run forward♫ ♫Courage condenses into spots in the sky♫ ♫Travel in time♫ ♫In an instant♫ ♫Reflect the dazzling light♫ ♫Reversers bear light♫ ♫To light up our lives♫ ♫Life is burning hot♫ ♫Fate was once burnt by ideals♫ ♫Not afraid of hurting♫ ♫Bright eyes in the dark♫ ♫Hold the radiance in the dark♫ ♫Illuminating the insignificant existence♫ ♫The clouds in the sky♫ ♫Will always disperse♫ ♫For the rising sun♫
