these hands once moved China. On April 5, a miner was rescued. Hearing the applause around him, he clapped his hands. What can you see from these hands? Feng Xiaomei, from a flash on TV, recognized that it was her husband's hand! She said she would make a bowl of noodles for him
over the past few days, reporters have been visiting Wangjialing, Hejin, Jiangxian, Houma and other places to explore how the miners' brothers persisted in the eight days and eight nights, and how their relatives suffered in the eight days and eight nights. Among them, what moved the reporter most was that Feng Xiaomei, a miner's wife, recognized from a flash of rescue shot on TV that it was her husband's hand
before the accident, he texted her every day
for 8 days and 8 nights, and people in the mine insisted. The relatives on the well are immersed in endless missing. At 13:00 on the 7th, the corridor of Jiangxian hotel was extremely quiet. The only thing you could hear was the CCTV news channel's real-time report on "rescue of Wangjialing coal mine flooding accident"
there are many families of Wangjialing trapped miners living in Jiangxian hotel. Feng Xiaomei, 36, is one of them. She sits in her room, staring at the latest report on the rescue of Wangjialing coal mine flooding accident on TV for fear of missing any news. For eight days and eight nights, Feng Xiaomei spent almost every day like this. Her husband, Qin Guoyi, was trapped in a water accident in Wangjialing coal mine
on the morning of March 29, Feng Xiaomei was tidying up the housework after seeing her son off from school. Her brother-in-law pushed the door and came in: "brother-in-law had an accident. He didn't come up underground. The mine is rescuing. Let the family hurry up to the mine."
before her brother-in-law's words were finished, the rag in Feng Xiaomei's hand slipped off and she sat down on the ground. She took out her cell phone from her pocket and called her husband tremblingly. What she heard was the sound of turning it off
Qin Guoyi worked in Wangjialing coal mine a month ago. Before that, he had been farming land in his hometown. "The tuition fee for two children is more than 10000 yuan a year, and the family really needs money." Qin Guoyi, 40, started working as a coal digger in a coal mine with a salary of 70 yuan a day. In order to get in touch with his wife, Qin Guoyi bought a mobile phone after he left home and called Feng Xiaomei two or three times a day. "As long as he works, he will send me a short message." Feng Xiaomei found out the last text message sent to her by her husband before the "accident", which was fixed at 15:17 on March 27, "child (Qin Guoyi's nickname for Feng Xiaomei), you are my only relative and lover in the world. Without you, I can't survive. I regard our feelings as a pair of stone gates, which no one can compare. I love you, brother<
after the accident, she sent him short messages every day
all day long on March 28, Feng Xiaomei didn't receive a short message or a phone call from her husband. She often looked at her mobile phone, but it didn't ring. "I thought he was very busy underground, maybe he was tired and went to bed early, so she didn't call him." Feng Xiaomei looks at her husband's text messages with her mobile phone and tears drop on her mobile phone<
after her husband's "accident", Feng Xiaomei sent him a text message every day, telling him "Guoyi, you should listen to me carefully, if you can't come back safely, I will leave my children, I will go to you... I will follow you, because I love you so much." Although Qin Guoyi can't get information, Feng Xiaomei has a lot to say to him<
when rescued, she recognized his little finger
Feng Xiaomei met fellow townsman Hao Xuefeng at Wuxiang station, and her husband Yang Buqing was also trapped underground. After they arrived at Wangjialing coal mine together, they were settled in Jiangxian hotel by Wuxiang County Government, where there were more than 100 miners' families. In Jiangxian Hotel, Feng Xiaomei and Hao Xuefeng have been living together. They cry at the TV every day“ I watch TV and cry every day. I can't eat and sleep. " After learning that her husband had an accident, Feng Xiaomei lost seven or eight Jin
on the afternoon of April 5, the second batch of rescued miners were sent to the hospital, and the TV showed the miners who were carried out of the wellhead. Feng Xiaomei was very close to the TV, watching the constantly updated numbers on the screen. When the second batch of the third rescued miners were carried out, a person on the stretcher who was covered with cotton quilt also stretched out his black hands from the quilt to clap when he heard the applause around him. Feng Xiaomei jumped up and said, "Guoyi is the hand of Guoyi!" Feng Xiaomei saw that the little finger of her right hand was curved when she clapped. Except for this finger, the rest was straight“ Guoyi's right pinkie was fractured once before, and then it couldn't stretch straight. This should be Guoyi's hand. " Feng Xiaomei told Hao Xuefeng in tears, "I'll wait for him to come back and make his favorite noodles for him."
a few days later, Feng Xiaomei never heard from her husband. She began to doubt her eyes. "It can't be such a coincidence. I think those hands are national righteousness." She asked the reporter, "do you think it's a coincidence? Are those hands national? I wish I knew about him at once
