The Story of Lonely Warriors and Wenchuan Brothers

四川的挖掘机火了!9月6日，一段泸定地震中交通抢险人员在绝壁上打通“生命通道”的视频引爆网络，在社交媒体上让无数网友点赞。

On September 6, a video of traffic rescue personnel working on the wall to open a "lifeline" flooded our screen!

左边是悬崖，右边是垮方，覆在面上的山石，还有流沙在滚。挖掘机和装载机就这样相互配合，一步步在绝壁上打通救援的“生命通道”。

地震救援中，刷屏的还有一张消防员怀抱婴儿的照片。照片中，一位目光坚毅的年轻消防员小心翼翼地抱着一名被救出的婴儿，他臂章上“汶川”二字显得格外醒目。照片在网上流传开后，网友亲切地称呼照片中的消防员“汶川哥哥”。

In the photo, a young firefighter iscarefully holding a rescued baby, and the word "Wenchuan" on his armband is particularly striking... Netizens affectionately called the firefighter "Wenchuan brother".

绝壁上的“孤勇者”：希望失联者不在这里，大家都平安

公路抢险，挖掘机是走在最前面的;在绝壁抢通的几台挖掘机中，王令是走在最前面的那个。左边是100多米的悬崖，右边是10多米高的垮方。王令深吸一口气，操作着机械手快速挖开一个缺口，沿着坡道驶上塌方体。

Excavators are at the forefront during the road rescue, and Wang Ling drove the excavator to explore the road. Taking a deep breath, he operated the manipulator to quickly dig a gap and drove up the ramp to the collapse.

“前面只有垮下来的石头，随着余震，还不断有石块滑下来。”王令说，挖掘机师傅都是探路者，每次走在最前面，要说不怕不可能，但只要有底气，恐惧感就会少很多。这“底气”，就是高超的技艺。

"There are only collapsed rocks in front, and with the aftershocks, there are still rocks sliding down." Wang Ling said, the excavator masters are pathfinder. It's impossible to say I'm not afraid, but as long as I have confidence, fear will be much less. The "confidence" is from his professional skills.

挖掘机在前方开路，装载机在后方配合。虽然才25岁，唐鑫已开装载机7、8年了。在绝壁抢通中，唐鑫在王令的后面，将挖掘机身后的山体不断铲起，堆到一边。

Tang Xin has been driving a loader for 7 or 8 years although he is only 25 years old. During the cliff rescue, he wasbehind Wang Ling, scooping up the mountains behind the excavator, and throwing them aside.

唐鑫开的装载机，轮胎有1人多高，但山石又大又重，好多次装载机后面的两个轮子都翘起来了。“是我操作的。”唐鑫笑着说，就好像跷跷板一样，这样可以利用装载机的自重，把前面铲斗里的重物翘起来，再进行弃土作业。

The tires of the loader are taller than a person, but the mountain rocks are big and heavy, making the 2 wheels behind the loader upturned for many times. "I drive the loader," Tang Xin said, it's like a seesaw.

绝壁的抢通还在进行，唐鑫说，听说垮塌的山体下，可能有车和失联者，“我希望不会有车被挖出来，希望他们不在这里，希望都平安。”

The cliff rescue is still ongoing, said Tang Xin. "I hope there'll be no cars be dug out; I hope they're not here; I hope they're all safe."

“汶川哥哥”张自立：从汶川到泸定，生命的守护一直延续

“汶川哥哥”是来自阿坝州森林消防支队汶川大队的消防员张自立。张自立告诉记者，那张照片是9月6日他抱着孩子刚刚从得妥镇湾东村处返回临时码头的场景。

"Wenchuan brother" is Zhang Zili, a forest firefighter from Wenchuan. On September 6, he returned to the temporary dock with the baby in his arms from Wandong Village, Detuo Town.

张自立说：“在泸定的汶川哥哥不只我一个，我们有74个。”泸定地震发生后，汶川县森林消防大队迅速反应，立即集结74人前往泸定县得妥镇开展救援任务。

Zhang Zili said, "I'm not the only Wenchuan brother in Luding County, there are 74 of us." After the Luding earthquake, 74 firefighters went to Detuo town, Luding County to carry out rescue missions.

9月6日17点左右，他们在村中搜寻时，发现了一位老人坐在倒塌的房屋边，怀中还抱着一个婴儿。为了让老人好好休息，张自立立马抱过婴儿。从湾东村下山到临时码头，5个小时期间，张自立始终把婴儿抱在自己的怀里。

At around 17:00 on September 6, they searched the village and found a granny sitting by the collapsed house, holding a baby in her arms. In order to let the granny have a rest, Zhang Zili held the baby for 5 hours.

张自立是一名00后，2008年汶川地震时，张自立正6岁读一年级。当时家里的房子塌了，学校操场成了临时安置点。

Zhang Zili is a "post-00s". When the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake occurred, he was only 6 years old. At that time, his family's house collapsed and the school playground became a temporary settlement.

“那个时候年纪小，晚上帐篷里很黑我很害怕。是解放军叔叔陪我玩，教我唱歌，一直告诉我不要怕，我们来了。”张自立说，从那时起，他就有了长大要和他们一样帮助他人的愿望。

"It was very dark in the tent at night and I was afraid. The PLA played games with me, and taught me to sing and kept telling me not to be afraid." Zhang Zili said that since then, he has had the desire to grow up to help others like them.

今年5月，张自立如愿加入森林消防队伍。在他看来，参与这次地震救援是自己的职责，算不上什么值得炫耀的事情。“只是在抱着娃娃的一瞬间，我心里想到，14年前是解放军叔叔抱着我，现在是我抱着其他小娃娃，有一种将抗震救灾精神传承下去的自豪感。”

In May this year, Zhang Zili joined the forest firefighting team as he wished. For him, participating in this earthquake rescue is his duty, not something worth showing off. "When I took over the baby, I thought it was PLA who held me 14 years ago, now I am holding the other baby. I'm proud to pass on the spirit of earthquake relief."
