Wu Guang is on the Kaotian River levee. Zhang Yifei

It is difficult to interview Wu Guang. On the Kaotianhe levee in Zhuogang Town, Huangmei County, Hubei Province, every time the reporter found him during the break of the officers and men, he always waved his hand shyly and said, "Go interview my comrades-in-arms, they did a great job!"

After several unsuccessful interviews with Wu Guang, the reporter got such a brief introduction from the accompanying cadres: Wu Guang, deputy brigade commander of a pontoon brigade of the Central Theater Army, joined the army for 27 years and participated in ’ Major tasks such as flood fighting in 1998, the rescue of the sunken ship of "Oriental Star", the inspection exercise of "Crossing the Yangtze River -2018" project support, and the support for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 7th military world games.

Yang Jun, the instructor of the Fourth Battalion of this brigade, knows Wu Guang very well. "He usually doesn’t talk much, he is very pragmatic, and his work is resolute." Yang Jun told reporters, "With him, we are very practical."

On the morning of July 8, a pontoon brigade of the Central Theater Army was ordered to go to Huangmei County, Hubei Province to participate in flood fighting and rescue. At this time, the Kaotian reach has exceeded the warning water level, and many places are in danger, and nearby villages are affected.

More than 300 officers and men rushed to help. On the way, Wu Guang kept in touch with local cadres in Huangmei County while organizing a procession, and always paid attention to the development of flood.

"The grievances were severe, and I really had no bottom at that time." Recalling the scene at that time, Gong Jintao, instructor of the 12 th Company of the 4 th Battalion, said frankly. After arriving at the mission site, the scene in front of him made him feel a little worried when he participated in the flood fighting and rescue for the first time: Kaotian River has become a suspended river, the flood has overflowed the dam, there are many piping nearby, Guiba Village is flooded, and the villagers are anxiously waiting for rescue … …

"All assault boats are urgently launched, save people first!" Wu Guang decisively gave the order, and more than 10 assault boats immediately sped away to Guiba Village. Subsequently, according to each person’s professional expertise and carrying equipment, he divided the remaining personnel into two groups, one group was responsible for blocking the piping and the other group was responsible for dealing with the danger of overflow. Wu Guang carefully inspected the riverbank to ensure that he knew all aspects of the rescue.

This patrol doesn’t matter, he found a bigger danger — — A dike with a length of more than 300 meters has a group of piping, and nearly one third of the piping is in muddy water. This means that the river bank is in danger of collapse at any time!

"Hurry up, hurry up!" The local government urgently dispatched sand and gravel, steel pipes, wooden stakes and other materials. According to the site conditions, Wu Guang organized officers and men to take emergency rescue measures such as mechanical piling, construction of anti-filtration wells, and rushing to build sub-dikes. After more than 10 hours of continuous fighting, the danger was finally controlled, and at the same time, all the trapped people were safely transferred.

From the emergency rescue on July 8th to the completion of the rescue mission on August 7th, Wu Guang led the officers and men to fight around the clock in the front line of flood control, handling more than 10 dangerous situations and loading and handling 110,000 bags of sandbags. The flood control works they built were praised by local water conservancy experts as "benchmarks like textbooks".

Wu Guang’s pontoon brigade is on duty all the year round along the Yangtze River. It was awarded the honorary title of "Model Brigade for Flood Control and Emergency Rescue" by the Central Military Commission, and it is a national professional force for flood control and emergency rescue. Over the years, Wu Guang insisted on regularly recording the water level information of the Yangtze River and lakes near the station, conducted in-depth research on flood control issues, and participated in the improvement of emergency rescue plans for many times. Whenever there is an urgent and dangerous task, he actively challenges and strives to be a pioneer.

Just a few months ago, at the critical moment of Wuhan’s fight against the COVID-19 epidemic, Wu Guang led a motorcade to join the transport support team of troops stationed in Hubei to fight against the epidemic for 68 days continuously, achieving zero infection of personnel, zero accidents of vehicles and zero mistakes in tasks, which provided a powerful transport support guarantee for winning the Hubei and Wuhan defense wars.

From fighting epidemic to fighting floods, from the cold winter to the hot summer, from the streets of Wuhan to the mountains and rivers of Huangmei, no matter what kind of difficult challenges he faced, Wu Guang rushed ahead and used "retrograde" expeditions again and again to hold the interests of the people high above his head.

　　In the cold winter, many people first think of soaking in hot springs. However, although the hot spring is good, it should be decided according to its own situation, so don’t blindly "enter the soup".

　　Many people feel that it’s hard to soak in a hot spring, and if you want to soak, you have to soak enough. In fact, the time spent in hot springs is not as long as possible. Remember a principle when soaking in hot springs: temperature is inversely proportional to time. Generally soak for 5-10 minutes at a time; Hot springs with low water temperature can be soaked for 20-30 minutes at a time. The number of hot springs per day should be 2-3 times, and frequent bathing is not advisable. If you take too many baths, it will lead to excessive physical exertion, but it will easily cause fatigue and backfire.

　　Some people think that leaving the substances in hot springs on the skin is good for the body, but it is not. Because if you encounter a hot spring with high concentration of sulfur or alkaline components, if you don’t clean it or dry it, after the water evaporates, the concentration of these substances left on the skin will increase by dozens of times, which is very irritating to the skin. Sulfur and other acid and alkali substances contained in hot springs can diminish inflammation and sterilize, which is quite effective for general infectious or parasitic skin diseases, but sometimes it can irritate skin wounds and cause deterioration, and even lead to "hot spring skin diseases".

　　Don’t use soap-containing cleaning products when washing. Wash the water at a lower temperature. Finally, dry the whole body, and then apply lotion to the face and body to moisturize and lock the skin moisture. Be careful not to rub hard when taking a bath, especially the skin folds around the armpit, crotch, navel and limbs.

　　Before entering the hot spring, you should take a small amount of hot spring water in a small wooden bucket and pour it on your body, so that your body can adapt to the water temperature and then soak in the bath, so as to avoid sudden blood pressure drop and dizziness caused by anemia. It is suggested to detect the temperature of spring water with your hands or feet first, and never jump into the hot spring at once.

　　Don’t soak in hot springs immediately after a long trip, take a proper rest first. Hot springs should be avoided on an empty stomach and after meals to avoid anemia and indigestion, which may cause collapse on an empty stomach. To avoid taking a bath after drinking, taking a bath after drinking is most likely to cause heart or vascular system emergencies.

　　Don’t do strenuous exercise before taking a hot spring bath. After exercise, the heart rate and blood flow are accelerated, and the heat effect of hot springs is not good for the body; After exercise, it is best to rest for 10-20 minutes before taking a hot spring bath.

　　Massage cooperation. Appropriate acupoint massage will strengthen the health care effect of hot springs and have obvious therapeutic effects on some diseases. Women should not soak in hot springs for too long, otherwise it will easily destroy the normal pH and beneficial bacteria ecology in the vagina, and the vagina will be easily infected and itchy.

　　If you feel dry mouth and chest tightness, take a break by the pool, do some stretching exercises, and drink some distilled water to replenish water. Some people like to be soaked red all over, so it is especially necessary to observe whether there is any phenomenon such as rapid heartbeat and difficulty breathing to avoid danger. After bathing, you should wear a bathrobe and go back to your room to rest. Be careful not to catch cold. You should drink water or drink some drinks properly to replenish the lost water.

　　Finally, there are several situations in which it is best not to soak in hot springs: cancer patients and tuberculosis patients should not bathe in hot springs, and these two types of patients may have metastasis after bathing in hot springs; Patients with severe skin diseases should not wash hot springs because it may cause cross infection; Patients with cardiovascular diseases should soak in hot springs under the advice and observation of doctors; Diabetic patients can’t wash overheated hot springs. If the temperature is too high, it will speed up metabolism and increase the physical burden of diabetic patients. In the early pregnancy and labor period, it is not suitable for women with menstrual period or wounds to wash hot springs; Old people, people with dry skin or itchy skin in winter should not soak in hot springs for too long. Remember to drink water to replenish the water lost due to rising body temperature. In the hot spring pool, remember to take care of your face and skin to avoid steaming your face in the high temperature for too long. You can apply a mask or wipe your face with a cold towel.
