Xie Xiaohua: a bolt on the Wujiang railway bridge

It is Xie Xiaohua's happiest thing to stand straight along the Wujiang railway bridge of Sichuan Guizhou railway every day and see a train pass by safely. On October 11, the reporter and his party drove for about an hour from Zunyi City to Wujiang railway bridge of Sichuan Guizhou line. As soon as the reporter got off the train, Xie Xiaohua hurriedly came over from the main railway line. If it wasn't for wearing the "yellow vest" overalls, the reporter didn't know that the short, thin, black and middle-aged man in front of him was the hero of the trip. A 6031 a 6031 push open the iron gate of Wujiang Bridge Road to check the residence of the work area. First, what you see is the big red words on the right wall: "make a screw on Wujiang Bridge, not slack, not loose!"

as these words express, Xie Xiaohua has been rooted in the inspection work area of wujiangqiao road for several decades in the past 21 years, practising business skills and taking the initiative to guard the safe passage of trains. In 1966, Xie Xiaohua was born in Shehong County, Sichuan Province, and his family moved to Zunyi in 1982. In 1988, Xie xiaohuakao, 22, joined Xifeng Public Works section of Guiyang Branch of China Railway Chengdu Bureau Group Co., Ltd. In 1995, Xie Xiaohua was transferred to wujiangqiao road inspection work area as monitor. When I first arrived at the residence of the working area, the conditions were very hard. I lived in a stone house and the toilet was surrounded by several mats. A 6031 a 6031 11, just after lunch, Xie Xiaohua went to the hemp water railway bridge opened to traffic in 1965 to check the safety of the piers, wearing a yellow safety helmet, a shoulder kit and a scythe. Journalists also travel the same way.

if you want to do "physical examination" for the pier, you have to find the way first. "This is the way to the pier. It's time to mow today. On average, we have to mow at least four times a year. " Following Xie Xiaohua's direction, the reporter saw the 60 cm wide cement road beside the pier, which had been covered tightly by the grass over the knee.

do as you please. Four people stand in a row. Xie Xiaohua swings a sickle in front of him to "open the way", followed by others. After 15 minutes of busyness, the 100 meter long cement road finally revealed the true face of Lushan Mountain. After arriving at the bottom of the bridge, Xie Xiaohua took a hammer and began to tap carefully from the top to the bottom of the bridge from the place where he contacted the river to check the situation carefully. This is the epitome of Xie Xiaohua's daily work. Along the 41.5km subgrade, Xie Xiaohua knows exactly where there are dangerous rocks, where there are cattle piles, and when to weed and cut trees. It's not easy for

to rush to the former
to really do a good job in the critical moment of his mission. Over the years, Xie Xiaohua has always used "if you don't do it, do it well." This sentence urges me to remember one thing in 2003. A 6031 a 6031 at about 3 a.m. on July 5, 2003, it rained heavily in Wujiang town. Xie Xiaohua led another employee to the key flood control section k321 + 030 to check the situation.

"at that time, there was no rain gauge, so I went out to patrol when I felt the rain was heavy." After arriving at the site, Xie Xiaohua found that the railway has been buried by about 200 cubic meters of earth and stone due to the road landslide. In the walkie talkie, Xie Xiaohua clearly heard that the k1328 train had come from dongjiaping station. At this time, it is only about 2 kilometers away from the accident site.

is in an emergency situation, and two people decide to adopt the strategy of two sides blocking to deal with it. However, Xie Xiaohua left the most dangerous task to himself. He shook the flashlight as hard as he could, and ran as fast as he could in the direction of k1328. The other colleague went in the opposite direction. It's dark and rainy, and the sight is very poor. Xie Xiaohua fell down many times and still ran all the way... Five minutes later, Xie finally stopped the train 50 meters ahead of the fault location.

next, Xie Xiaohua organized dozens of people, in the absence of large-scale equipment, through manual work, only four or so hours to snatch through the line. A 6031 a 6031 "that bus has 14 carriages and is full of people. If we don't find it in time and stop it, the consequences will be unimaginable. " Xie Xiaohua said. A 6031 a 6031 guard the original heart and stick to the post to guide a 6031 a 6031 in Xie Xiaohua, the most striking is the black green toolkit which is slung on his body.

"it's all my baby!" Xie Xiaohua patted his bag and said. Unable to resist the reporter's repeated "cross examination", Xie Xiaohua slowly put down and opened the bag, then took out one by one and put it on the ground to introduce to the reporter, "this is the protective vest, the signal flag, the tape measure, the hammer, the snake repellent..." Thanks to these "magic weapons" and the dedication and solid professional knowledge rooted in the grass-roots level, Xie Xiaohua led all the staff in the inspection work area of Wujiang Bridge Road and successfully completed the inspection and maintenance tasks of 41.5km subgrade, 18 bridges, 27 tunnels and 103 culverts. A 6031 a 6031 Xie Xiaohua sticks to his post in the inspection work area of wujiangqiao road. He has worked for more than 20 years, and he has also worked from youth to middle age. Chen Jian, a 25-year-old working area worker, told reporters that he had learned a lot from working in the working area for more than two years, such as how to check bridges, how to check tunnels, how to prevent dangerous situations and so on. But the most valuable thing that the young people in the work area have learned is the team leader's adherence to the Wujiang railway bridge for more than 20 years. (Pan Xiaofei)
