There was a special atmosphere before the flood came. It's particularly sultry at night, and frogs are barking. Waterbirds swept across the water in panic and made a harsh cry. Turbid river, with bubbles and low roar, began to overflow Shili Long Beach. At the end of the beach, there is a hill that stands as high as a swallow's nest upside down. It used to be a place for Yaner to rest. Now a barrel oil depot with a storage capacity of about 4000 tons has been built. The official name of Yanerwo Oil Depot is "Red Girl Oil Depot". From the establishment of the library to the present, there are all girls here. The most famous library staff are "Six donkey kong": librarian Lin, librarian Geng Haiqiong, who has been an educated youth for six years, who took over the work of his mother, and the accountants Bai Liping and Deng recruited. Although they don't care about their work, they have their own personalities in terms of temper, and they can't afford to offend their aunts. Geng Haiqiong is a quick talker. In order to transfer her lover back from other places, she submits a transfer report and a divorce application every month. She is a straightforward person, who annoys her, scolds her if she wants, quarrels if she wants, and wins the nickname "Bitch King Kong". Ren is a beautiful girl with a few drops of ink in her stomach. She often likes to write some poems or something. She suffered setbacks in love and called herself the "damaged generation"; Deng is outspoken. What she calls "the lack of a guard" is a bit cynical. She and Ren are best friends. Geng Haiqiong said that they were "a casserole that rolled down the rocks, and no one was good"; Bai Liping is plain and unpretentious, but she is calculating. Ten years of cold window failed to let her into Fudan, but she learned to shake a goose feather fan and was smart. She played a prank twice and killed two birds with one stone to avenge Geng Haiqiong and Ren. Now I am reviewing my lessons and preparing to "bomb the university fortress for the third time"; Liu Cuicui grew up in the mountains, short and fat, with a single eyelid and a round face, like an elastic dough. When I came to the library, I volunteered to find a job as a chef that no one wanted to do. In front of a lot of city girls, she seems a little sad; Lin, of medium build, has short hair, heavy eyebrows and eyes, and is unsmiling. She is a leader, but she never does a lot of rough work. This hard-working "King Kong" is very strict with the girls. At the moment, she just came back from outside. Her husband beat people for no reason after drinking, was seriously injured and was re-educated through labor ... In this way, she stumbled back to the oil depot. At this time, Geng Haiqiong is arguing with Ren and Bai Liping about the lost furnace cover. Everyone was busy watching, and no one paid attention to God's face. Deng on duty was eager to help Ren, so when she was told about the flood, she didn't take it to heart. Who would have thought that the flood exceeded the highest record in a hundred years? At this moment, the flood has roared and rolled, flooded Shili Long Beach, cut off the passage between Yaner's nest and the outside world, and turned into an island. "Quick, inform all comrades to have a meeting in the conference room on platform 2!" Lin gave the order. In the conference room on the second floor platform, as soon as the girls sat down, the lights suddenly went out, and the chirp disappeared with the disappearance of the lights. "Girls, we are surrounded by floods, and the retreat in all directions has been cut off. Now we can only rely on ourselves. " Qiu-paused, as if determined. "In the first step, we tied more than 10,000 empty barrels and wood with iron wire and bamboo rope, rolled more than 7,000 barrels into oil on the third platform, and pressed out strips; It is also necessary to dismantle laboratory equipment and electrical equipment. So much work only depends on our more than 30 hands ... "The flood began to climb the steps in front of the yard, leading the girls to grab the oil drums, and then pressed the stone strips on the oil drums. The big stone is too heavy for two people to lift, but too short for four people to walk. There is no way, so we have to bite our teeth and lift them by two people. Three thick bars, only Geng Haiqiong's, no one dared to go up, just then Ren came along. Her sworn enemy Geng Haiqiong sarcastically said to her, "Will the stone face turn yellow again?" As soon as the skull was hot, regardless of menstruation, he grabbed the rope and confronted Geng Haiqiong. After Deng found out, he grabbed the rope and shouted at Geng Haiqiong: "Ren is in the office (office: female workers tease women to menstruate." ) Are you relieved? "Qian Qian hurt GengHaiQiong. She is so wronged, they are not those heartless things! Ren was dragged down the bar, but ran to the bucket. The weight of gasoline barrel exceeds one hundred and fifty kilograms, and the weight of diesel barrel exceeds 180 kilograms. Raindrops as big as copper coins make people's faces ache and numb, and they can't open their eyes. Suddenly, Ren slipped and fell on the springboard at a 45-degree angle, and the diesel bucket rolled down, which was about to press on her head. Geng Haiqiong grabbed it and pointed the oil drum at it. Ren is so weak that she doesn't even have the strength to move. Lin asked Geng Haiqiong to carry her back to the dormitory on the third floor to rest. Ren is a big shot, and his back is difficult to recite. Besides, the road is slippery at night. On several occasions, Geng Haiqiong almost fell down. When I went upstairs, I was too tired to walk. "Second sister, I go down by myself. "GengHaiQiong heart suddenly a hot, over the years, ren is the first time to call her second sister. Heavy rains caused losses in Cui Cui and Qian Qian. They lay in the mud and blew fire into the furnace hole with their mouths. I don't know when the rain stopped. Cui Cui and Qian Qian brought rice to the third platform. In the dam, nearly 10,000 oil drums are neatly tied together with iron wires, ropes and stones. On the third platform, more than 7,000 barrels of oil have been placed neatly. The girls who played all night fell asleep against the oil drum. After dawn, the girls hope that the flood will stop rising. However, according to the signs, there will be a flood peak tonight. The girls' faces sank, and they really felt the weight of the burden on their shoulders ... During the break, Ren recited a poem for everyone, which caused many associations. Bai Liping thought of the coming college entrance examination and regretted losing time to review her lessons. Geng Haiqiong is seriously considering whether to submit the Divorce Report next month; Lin thought of her husband. She decided to take something to see him as soon as the water receded, giving him confidence, making him feel warm and returning to the collective arms. Cui Cui thought of her boyfriend in the countryside; Qian Qian thought of the "little husband" that needs to be seriously considered and whether it should be reunited; Ren thinks most. She came to the oil depot to escape from reality. When she was an educated youth, she loved a "gangster". Later, the father of the "son of the gang" was rehabilitated. After returning to the city, he began to give her the cold shoulder. Later, he joined the army and died in the Sino-Vietnamese self-defense counterattack ... Suddenly, a burst of warm applause broke out, pulling Ren's thoughts back to the real world. The girls are all radiant and radiant, as if they have injected new strength. She can't help feeling hot. She didn't expect a poem to cause such a strong sound! She felt the power of literature for the first time. She thought, after the flood, she must pick up a pen again and write down what happened in these ten hours, without writing anything else. Just then, the flood flooded into the dam. The stone bars that the girls struggled to lift up were thrown into the water by empty oil drums like playing with building blocks, and the properly piled oil drums were scattered all over the floor. At night, the water suddenly became more violent, and the flood turned over the muddy waves, whistling and pressing on Yaner's nest, as if to erase it from the earth. Yanerwo oil depot is sandwiched between the banks of the flood. If the brick wall collapses, the oil drum will be caught in the torrent, and the consequences will be unimaginable. The life safety of people in oil depots, bridges and downstream cities depends on them! At a critical juncture, Lin sent Deng to swim across the river to tell the news, while organizing everyone to jump into the water hand in hand and build a human wall next to the brick wall washed down by the flood. The flood mixed with iron drums and wood kept pounding their chests. If it weren't for the idea of hugging others and saving the oil depot, they really wanted to die. Bai Liping was in poor health and could not support herself under the impact of the flood. She fell limply into the water. Liu Cuicui leaned over and hugged her tightly. "I'm fat, I have calories, I have kilocalories." Bai Liping remembered that she had called her a pig, and her nose was sour: "Cui Cui, you ... you called me!" ; When Qiu saw it, his heart was hot. In the past, she regarded Xiaobai, Pinghai and Qian Qian as rat excrement, and one would spoil a pot of soup, so she seldom cared about them and helped them. At the moment, she regretted it. Why does she know nothing about her past? ..... Dawn finally came quietly, and the river slowly slipped from both sides like a huge, undulating carpet. "The flood has receded!" The girls cried out in surprise. "Oh, my jewel flower is in the water!" "My elastic tweed pants cost more than 30 yuan and I ate pickles for three months!" As soon as the flood receded, the girls felt sorry for their loss. "Comrades-"Suddenly came the voice of Qian Qian, and the support team finally jumped on the bandwagon! Everyone laughed, shouted, danced and crowded together happily. Bai Liping felt an unprecedented heat wave in her heart and shouted in English, "Long live comrades!" " "Long live the comrades! ) A new day has begun. The girls in Yanerwo oil depot finally tore up the calendar with their own hands-a page in the past!
Appreciation of Works This short novel tells the story of a group of young women with different experiences and personalities who selflessly defend public property in the face of flood disasters. Readers may think that this is a work praising revolutionary heroism. However, if we look through this glorious shell, we can easily find that the real theme of the work is not here. With simple brushwork, the author explored the spiritual course of young people one after another, and wrote a touching and thought-provoking hymn for new socialist people, a battle song that can inspire, enrich and purify people's spiritual realm. The work does not pay attention to the gold foil of heroes for these female workers trapped in Yanerwo by floods. On the contrary, they are really ordinary little people. The gaudy fashion of women in the 1980 s, without exception, was regarded as a treasure's love; The common weaknesses of ordinary young people are also common to them, a dime a dozen; The trauma of the ten-year catastrophe to their hearts has not yet healed. They are not as loud as the "Red Girl Oil Depot" era. "It is said that the people assigned here are either lazy, naughty, talkative or troublesome." The most famous "Six donkey kong" in Curry is "All great aunts are not to be taunted". Ren, who suffered setbacks in love, thinks he is a "damaged generation", and everything seems too late; Qian Qian, who calls himself the "beat generation", is even more cynical; Bai Liping, who was judged by her mother to have bad intentions and failed to enter the university, actually learned to "shake the goose feather fan"; Liu Cuicui's mother went to the oil depot. In order to "eat enough", she could only cook. A girl's family was nicknamed "the belly of the sea". Even Lin and Geng Haiqiong, pioneers in the era of "Red Girl Oil Depot", although both of them are members of * * *, each has its own shortcomings and sufferings: her husband, who is rigid in character, was re-educated through labor for hurting people and begged for a divorce, which made her even more annoyed and anxious; Hai Qiong blamed the separation of husband and wife on the leadership, and also quarreled and called names, committing the "seventh liberalism." Just when the flood has surrounded Yaner's nest, they are still fighting for a trivial matter of sesame and garlic skin. But these dust can't hide their glorious essence. At the beginning of the novel, it is cleverly pointed out that they are "the pillars of the oil depot, regardless of work, inside and outside." These rough and generalized words may be the most essential behavior and ideological basis for them to show their true colors as heroes in fighting floods. The value of the novel lies in the fact that the author's brushwork does not stop at the story of a group of female workers fighting the flood. The plot is undoubtedly the history of the development of characters, but if there is no flow of characters' thoughts, the characters displayed according to the plot are conceptual and typed. The author's approach is to show their thoughts, personalities, external relations and inner activities incisively and vividly through the description of the real plots and details of the female workers in the flood fighting. The cynical Qian Qian finally realized that "one can't always live for oneself" and left a solid footprint on the muddy land in the task of reporting news. Liu Cuicui also swept away his inferiority complex and found his own value in the process of sending hot rice with ginger soup to his comrades. Bai Liping also understood and changed her outlook on life in the unusual struggle of two nights and one day; As a leader, Lin also realized that his usual indifference caused the psychological estrangement of his comrades-in-arms and her husband's mistakes, and was determined to melt the ice and snow in their hearts with more warmth. At the critical moment of life and death caused by the flood, they aroused the pride of collectivism, washed away the dirt in their hearts, gained unprecedented sublimation in their thoughts and feelings, and re-examined, discovered and created themselves from a newer and higher perspective of life. Under the crazy blow of the timber and oil drums rolled up by the waves, they were hungry and scarred, but they still formed an unbreakable human wall. "If they don't have the idea of hugging them, saving others and saving the oil depot, they really want to die." At this time, they are alive, not for themselves, but for an unshirkable sacred responsibility! They usually joke that they are "recorded in the history of heroes", but after truly completing the earth-shattering feat, no one realizes that they have become a "hero". They feel sorry for the "Gemstone Flower" watch entering the water first, and regret the elastic pants they bought after eating pickles for three months ... Here, the novel convincingly tells readers that there is no insurmountable gap between heroes and mortals. Needless to say, the structure of this novel is not accurate and complete, the foundation on which the characters grow up is not fully displayed, and some descriptions are straightforward. Nevertheless, it is still difficult to conceal the vivid characters and touching ideological power of the novel. In this sense, some aspects that cannot be improved are only defects in white jade.
