a painful day - Memorial friend annihilated in a car accident
2008 年 5 月 3 日 4 drive enhancement of our line of Sichuan-Tibet line into the South Tibetan photography, reaching the 30 km distance Zogang east county mountains (elevation 5008 m) when the accident occurred Our Toyota Prado rolling down the mountain in the snow, resulting in 3 deaths, motor vehicle, the serious traffic accident. I survived and the driver Wie, Wie was in April 2009 traffic accident Zogang County Court sentenced 4 years. The accident loss is enormous, the economic loss is minor, the opener is three lives, especially Xu Kangrong preceptor - Sichuan photographer, photographer of the victims of China is a huge loss of photography in China.
Forget the past, but the first anniversary of the accident, I was the author recalls that unforgettable 3 days, and the Commemoration of the loss of three friends, including friends who have never met.
said Xu Kangrong teacher is not an amplification photographer,
tods mens boots, not only he 8X10 camera, but his passion for photography and photographic accomplishments in 1986 as vice captain for his photography hobby more than a dozen line those instruments have set life and death, driving eight made three-wheeled motorcycle, the frontiers of the motherland ring, one-year, 5 Miles aspect of China, under the thousands of photos taken, enough to load the history of photography in China. Mr Xu is my photography friend, is my teacher, he influenced my photography, film from the before 135,120 to today's 617 pages broad and 4X5 film, from the before to today's electronic auto All machines are fully handbook, and so affected by Mr Xu, and Xu teachers to create but also very rewarding, so I esteem Mr Xu. April 29, I called Mr Xu, asked him where May Day shooting, he said the Sichuan-Tibet line should be good, there should be peach Bomi, after debate, we decided to drive with the extension of the Sichuan-Tibet line 51 shooting. After an hour, Mr Xu called another and said there is a friend of Henan, Sanmenxia City, Vice Chairman (elderly) want to go, and asked us not handy. I said to both of us should be simple. Then I asked the teacher to promise not to take the driver, he said, can, he can open. Wie So I called the driver asked him what arrangements 51, he said no, I said I must drive 51 to go to Tibet, he said he also wanted to just have not been to, so I finally decided to go with Wie. In this way, at 9:30 on May 1, four of us, Mr. Lee was staying in Henan, Chengdu, Mianyang motel accumulation, by the driver to drive to the Sichuan-Tibet line Wie advance.
the first leg of our photography plans to shoot the sunset Gongga snow, but when you are starting to arrest up with the Chengdu fifty-one pinnacle travel,
tods shoes, expressway serious vehicle congestion, we arrived when the sun had gone down in Mt missed the view. So we give up shooting Gongga Snow, judged to continue to move forward. Nine o'clock that evening, we arrived at the elegant River County, Sichuan-Tibet line, to live down.
next morning (May 2), starting at six o'clock, move, noon, arrived Batang County, into the territory of Tibet. We decided Mangkang arrived for lunch. Unexpectedly, the car forty kilometers away from Markam county where a tire blows, the car's left rear tire completely scrapped. We replaced the spare tire, move on, the time has arrived Mangkang three in the afternoon the. Markam County is 3,870 meters above sea level Sichuan-Tibet, Yunnan-Tibet line of crossing, Sichuan, Yunnan and Tibet provinces crossing; Mangkang southeastern Tibet has forever been the door is the propositions and arrangements through after lunch we decided to shoot Deqin County, Yunnan-Tibet line to the Meili Snow Mountain. Yunnan-Tibet road in Tibet segment overall, not too good to go, Yunnan Province traffic even aggravate. Two hundred and twenty kilometers of the Yunnan-Tibet line, we walked for six hours, at around 9 to Dade Qin.
the third day morning (May 3), we get up at six, beat the sunrise Meili Snow Mountain, only to thicker smokes that day, did not shoot the most pretty sunshine Jinding Meili Snow Mountain. Because I was the first to Meili Snow Mountain, and my machine still took a five-4X5, six films. Xu Li, Chairman of the teachers and as many times been to Meili Snow Mountain, they rack 8X10 machine, one does not shoot. I remember Mr Xu was 8X10 machine using a 1200MM lens, bellows very long, 8X10 and 4X5 with two bellows joined, and promise that if he could take the teacher may be the only sunshine golden ceiling lens 8X10 film 1200 .
because did not get the film, plus catching into account the Yunnan-Tibet line yesterday so difficult to walk, but the radio said ponderous snow in Tibet, Everest torch relay wait time, I am a mini deterred. So I recommend,
tods leather shoes, simply that we on this night,
tods shoes cheap buy, come back the next morn Meili Snow Mountain remake. Shangri-La and then ran south from the south back to Chengdu, Mr Xu began to feel justified, but he felt that the season is not the best season of Meili Snow Mountain, photographed little contingency of a good membrane. After breakfast, he insisted on chronic in Tibet.
less than about 9 o'clock we continued on our way coming back Markam, plans Markam went for lunch at midday. Because yesterday ran this way, a relatively flat begin. We can measure the distance to be shorter than yesterday, one hour, three afternoon should be reached ahead. However, where the transmit of Yunnan and Tibet,
cheap tods outlet, but also had a stab. Yesterday was actually purchased a fashionable right rear tire. Half one hour later, the replacement of a good leftover tire, and move on. Unexpectedly, in three kilometers from the county where they had a puncture. This is the right front tire. Because the car is only a spare tire, this time we can not along. Fortunately, more recent from the county, Wie stopped a truck driver to the county garage. Results are accessible without a car repair shop, had shrieked a taxi back to the bad tire brought the garage, and replaced with current tires to put on sending. After changing, we are jump together with the car and taxi Mangkang the garage, and then fitted with a current spare tire. The toss, a full itinerary of our two-hour defer.
attached three puncture, should be a serious admonition, we also feel a little strange, but not enough consideration. At that time a little rest should be living in Markam. But think of only a few Zogang Mangkang from one hundred and sixty kilometers, we decided to move on.
half past five p.m., we have just had lunch, starting from Markam, bound Zogang. Markam to Zogang 160 kilometers, as is the mountain, we plan to 4 hours. Just a start, it began a little rain and snow, the voyage seems to bring us a bad start. After an hour car drive into the Sichuan-Tibet line is one the most perilous of the lot. A long taper roundabout road, no fence, out of the skylight of the abyss. All of us can not help but recognized the Sichuan-Tibet road or lucrative than the Yunnan-Tibet Road. Eight o'clock at night, driving to the Sichuan-Tibet line is an essential mountain - East of Hill. Turn east mountains, is our destination, Zogang. I looked at the navigation system is a grain of truth Zogang there 35KM.
Mountain Pass east elevation of 5008, year-round sleet. When we reached the altitude, is it began to snow goose plumage. We are ready to mount the mountain east, while approximately one kilometer away from where Yamaguchi, stopped two vehicles, one colossal and one small, block our route. One of which is a goods traffic, a small four-wheel passenger cars. Removed a small wheel below the rear tire on the medium of the road, blocking our course. Scene five, six or so people appear to dress a police uniform, this time it was yet dark, flashlight in their vehicle. Police with a youth man, and we argue, I hope we can stop him to retard the county seat, the man said he was cold wish early return to the county seat of anguish. At namely time Mr Xu told me not to take, but I was only 30 km to consider, but likewise the night I admitted, namely human on our motorcar. On the bus, as distant as we know, he came from Xinjiang, this time about a few friends, riding motorcycles together through the Sichuan-Tibet line. Can not think of motorcycles in the Sichuan-Tibet line failure, please assist the police liberate. Unexpectedly, also failed liberate vehicles, only to wait at the roadside. The process of waiting for his raiment had been rainy sleet, are anxious they ambition get sick, we equitable passed, and Shun him away. He is very grateful to us for this. So we struck up a conversation, no one thought at this time misadventure. The Friends of Xinjiang in the motorcar with less than 5 minutes after, the vehicle was published a serious advising sound, rotate down the hill to go. Car fell into a airing mountain road the next tread, to proceed to roll down the hill to the ditch. According to the police after the calculation, site of the incident from the straight-line distance of 145 meters rolled end. Slope of the mountain about fifty degrees.
happened during the car rolling a mammoth sound, I tightly clutch the front cab handrails, according with the car rolling. I do not know how many rolls through the car finally stopped, I tried to unlock the seat belt, but failed, a pain after fainting. I do not know how long later, I was cold wake. At this point I calmly thought, recalling the incident recently, know their stranded car, this time the melody was still inside the ring. I tolerate the pain, unlock the seat belt, make each exertion to climb out of the car. Outside the ice and snow, snow. At this point I just penetrate a faint light luminous mountain road, I shouted for help. Wie in the mountains is the aboriginal driver using a mobile call lighting, hear my cry for help, he quickly went to the foot of the mountain. In Wie's arm, I resorted to feeding effort, and climbed the mountain road with him. But now the position is bad: cold weather (under zero), deserted, and no compartment phone whistle one o'clock. We thin clothes (a long-sleeved T-shirt and a photo vest), alarm and despair. I touched the photo vest pocket a small pot of brandy, I rapidly come up, beverage half, and then drink the remaining half to Wie. At this point pain, undergoing breathing, I do not try to walk, and fell on the roadside next to a stone; one person lying on the road stationary, as if the people in Xinjiang, the other two lacking, the county there are more than 30 kilometers away, the cold, dark, pain, death at this time I really feel we are close to Yibubuxiang. Understand what was really desperate; Wie asked me how to do, I said, we have no choice but death and other relief. If you do not pass a car that can only dead. Sichuan-Tibet line is long at 3.14 the day the car is not many, at basically no. And in such a low temperature, we can not stand also long, so was sensibility little hope of surviving.
about an hour (felt for a long time), the light beam coming from the mountains far away. I know it is light. I Wie said, we might have hope. Wait until the lights to the front, the Wie stopped the car, he suddenly just before the parked car that small four-wheel-maintenance surface. In our alleging, they agreed to take us to the county hospital. In their leading scorer, the two of us climbed to the back of only two car seats to sit down. Under the greater snow outside, the road more slippery, build up drivers to drive carefully, thirty five kilometers short distance away two and a half hours. After the car to the county police called the 110 and 120. Police and medical workers rushed to the scene to retention people, we were at about one o'clock when the people were sent to the county hospital, doctor's rescue.
poor remedial conditions of local county hospital, a shire hospital medical staff put together a aggregate of merely 10 folk, I was the injury serious, covered in blood, incapable apt shake, the physician had not choice merely to mattress because my surgery, right-hand man a absolute of 3 bleeding jaws crisis stitches, sewing for nearly 20 needle, stop bleeding, the additional waiting for the next daytime processing. Because the injury namely unknown, doctors said a forbid on filming in the water tomorrow. This is a very uneasy night, one pain, can not push, can not stand; Second, chills, dry mouth and rowdy tongue; Third, memorize there are 2 friends dead or living; Fourth, hypoxia tin not slumber here, 3,800 meters on sea level ; thank the local police and always night guarding heater brought us.
next morning the police came over and said, we have base two bodies, one still can not ascertain the dark, in the morning they sent for, and now no results, have no hope of survivors. Despite a hunch, but I heard the bad newspaper is still highly painful.
my phone did not, notify the corporation with Wie's cell phone and immediately sent for dealing with incidents, and soon the county Gu Shuji to the hospital to visit in person and told the hospital the full treatment, the President and the staff make every effort to handling, but deserving to poor medical conditions, the second X-ray I do not necessarily sold in addition to other traumatic injury. The 4th on the 5th still can not stand up in the hospital, unable to move, pain, the county Gu Shuji preparation on the 6th morning flight back to Chengdu.
Huaxi Hospital in Chengdu, and xray CT and back out the rib fractures, vertebral compression fractures, spinal compression rupture is the most serious, and it is fatal (and then re-point may be paralyzed), and can not be recovered, the doctor asked two 24 hours lying on bed, can not wake any time, but followed along 5.12 earthquake, I ran down the stairs from the 6th layer, then get out of bed several times and aftershocks, and only linger in bed for 40 days to travel, we still have serious consequences can not be sedentary and long standing. However, friends and loss of life than I have been very satisfied.
the occurrence wastage is colossal, the lesson is profound, of special note summed up the following for those who like to peregrination long distances to reference:
1. Sichuan-Tibet is dangerous, but not disgustful;
2. Ice road driving experience should be, do not accessible step on the brake;
3. Do not hurry a long junket, primarily at night hurry;
4. Sichuan-Tibet line into the best two cars pass, someone you can look after every other (in many parts of Sichuan-Tibet line no signal);
5. Not ring true when traveling (such as multiple flat tire, etc.), adapted to location;
6. Do not take people on the road;
Wie I was asked the driver to the three families of the sufferers friends and express my deep regrets because of his reckless pedaling, causing accidents Mr Xu you rest in truce! We have to give your two daughters certain economic compensation, since both ambition her to live better, Xinjiang friends who not met: even if you rest in peace! Until immediately I do not know thatyou are right or wrong on the bus, anyway I was really trying to help you; we also have to give your wife and daughter were economic compensation, I hope she can take two to live ; who CPPCC Chairman Li also ask you to take a good, me and you only have three days of friendship, and I also do not know your household, I heard your household hurt the most, I sympathize with your family, not money, you The children were very obedient, they insisted to let the driver go to jail, let the drivers take some responsibility, in counting to monetary compensation, it also satisfies them; now the driver has been sentenced to 4 years term;
; this has happened for a whole year, but remember it like yesterday, maybe preordained that guide to such a disaster the instant moment, in retrospect, is grasped memorable. The writer recalls one of closure on the stuff, the second is grief the dead friend!
