However, this was not the beginning of the tragedy.
But most people's eyes turned red when they saw this scene.
At that moment, some of the victims' relatives either turned their heads away or closed their eyes; they couldn't bear to look.
But Lin Rui kept singing.
Even though he knew that what was about to happen would likely reopen old wounds for the victims' families.
Fortunately, with the mobilization of relevant personnel, they finally obtained the consent of the victims' families, which enabled them to restore most of the truth of the incident!
"War... fight... with the humblest of dreams..."
As the explosion resounded throughout the entire area, a massive shockwave spread outwards!
Firefighters and medical personnel further away were instantly blown away by this terrifying blast wave.
They crashed into the ambulances and fire trucks behind them, and some were even thrown to a greater distance, where they crashed heavily to the ground!
Some people stopped breathing on the spot.
Someone was seriously injured and on the verge of death.
Someone fell into a coma.
However, the flames were merciless. When the fire spread to the ambulances and fire trucks, accompanied by a series of tragic explosions, the firefighters and medical personnel who had just had a glimmer of hope lost all hope.
"To the sobs and roars in the darkness..."
The scene jumps to mid-air.
This is a view from the cabin of a firefighting helicopter.
The raging flames engulfed everything, and more than a dozen firefighting helicopters in mid-air exploded on the spot!
The remaining seven or eight vehicles also broke down.
It may burst into flames or explode during the forced landing.
In the video, the man piloting the firefighting helicopter glances slightly behind him.
Below is a large gas station.
The firefighting helicopter is currently out of control, but he still has a chance to escape if he chooses to parachute!
But if he does that, the firefighting helicopter, which is gradually going out of control, could crash into the large gas station behind it, causing an even bigger fire.
In less than two seconds, even without narration, anyone who witnessed this scene could sense a resolute determination in the man's complex and shifting gaze.
He gave up his chance to escape, gripping the control stick tightly, causing the firefighting helicopter to plunge violently into the inferno with a forward-falling momentum!
"Who says only those who stand in the light are heroes..."
The screen changes.
Still from the cockpit view.
The firefighter who appeared in the footage was the man who had accompanied his newlywed wife to Taizhou to have their wedding photos retaken.
At this moment, the firefighting helicopter he was piloting had crashed, and the fuselage had begun to burn, with thick black smoke billowing up all around.
He did not die, but the violent collision between the fuselage and the ground during the descent crushed half of the cabin.
His legs were also crushed.
Blood was flowing freely, and even half of his arm had lost sensation.
As he watched the raging flames gradually spread, he endured the pain and, already drenched in sweat, struggled to pull out the pocket watch hanging around his neck.
Gently open it, and you'll find a photo of him and his fiancée.
He didn't look at the ever-approaching raging flames; he simply gazed lovingly at his wife's sweet smile reflected in the pocket watch, and whispered, "I'm sorry, I'll marry you again in the next life."
now.
In a certain building, in a certain room, a woman hugged her knees and wept uncontrollably.
"Your mottled features are unique... Your silence is deafening..."
The screen changes.
This is an overhead view.
Looking down at the terrifying fire demon, looking down at the city that had already fallen into panic.
People were fleeing, and adults were protecting children to prevent them from being separated from the chaotic crowd.
The flames continue to spread, creating more tragedies.
Chemicals are constantly flowing into the groundwater, and fish and shrimp are constantly rising to the surface.
Everyone was helpless. Faced with disaster, humanity realized its own insignificance and fell into unprecedented despair!
Can they be reborn and redeemed?
"I love you walking alone through dark alleys... I love your unyielding spirit... I love your confrontation with despair..."
The screen changes!
This is a ray of dawn piercing through the darkness!
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen different scenes appeared.
Fire brigades from all over the country were dispatched, and one after another, fire trucks with flashing red lights drove out of the compound!
Countless firefighting helicopters took off into the sky!
Hospitals across the country held emergency mobilization meetings, and large numbers of medical staff in white coats boarded special planes bound for the disaster area!
Researchers from various regions held video conferences overnight to discuss groundwater purification and treatment solutions, and teams of researchers boarded special planes to support the disaster area!
"My love for you comes from the wilderness... I will not borrow from anyone's light in this life... You will build your city... on the ruins..."
The screen changes again!
It's still a dozen or so different scenes!
Workers worked overtime to load large quantities of disaster relief supplies onto transport planes, cargo ships, and trucks.
The sky, the earth, and the sea—all bear the marks of dawn!
Countless volunteers from various states held up small flags with the words "Go for it!" printed on them. They traveled in groups or small groups, taking the high-speed rail to Xiazhou!
When one is in trouble, help comes from all sides!
"Go...go...with the humblest of dreams..."
The screen changes!
It still consists of more than a dozen scenes!
A large number of firefighters are battling the blaze!
A large number of medical staff are saving lives!
A large number of researchers are conducting groundwater sewage discharge testing!
Large numbers of volunteers are distributing food and drinking water to people in the disaster area!
"War... Fight on... with the loftiest dream..."
The screen changes.
These are countless posts of prayers and blessings on the internet, densely packed, numbering in the hundreds of billions!
May the living be blessed, and may the dead grieve!
They eventually overlapped, forming two large characters.
come on!
"To the sobs and roars in the darkness..."
The screen then switched again.
This time, hundreds of different photos appeared around Lin Rui.
Many people recognized the people in the photo as the firefighters and medical personnel who died in the two explosions.
At this moment, countless people were moved.
If possible, they hope there will be fewer photos like this.
"Who says only those who stand in the light are heroes..."
The screen then switched again.
This time, the surroundings turned into a white world.
Funeral couplets, funeral banners, wreaths, flower baskets, incense tables, and candles.
This is a funeral hall.
Hundreds of photos hang on the wall.
As Lin Rui sang, he placed the bouquet of flowers in his hand on the ground in front of the memorial tablet.
He slowly took half a step back, and under everyone's puzzled gaze, gently removed the fire helmet he was wearing.
Then, he placed his helmet against his waist with his left hand, straightened his back, gradually brought his right hand together, his reddened gaze turned solemn, and raised his right arm.
Everyone knows what he's up to!
Almost 90% of the people stood up in this atmosphere!
They followed Lin Rui's movements and raised their right hands.
At this moment, in a fire station compound.
Team leader Lao Liu stood up, and behind him, several teammates who were also wrapped in bandages also stood up.
"salute!"
