Diary records painstaking rescue efforts after air crash

Part 6: Blue flame

At the door of the stationing area, we met the families of the victims. We collectively stood at attention, took off our hats, bowed our heads, observed silence and bowed for the victims. With the ringing sirens, I prayed silently for the victims.

Although there are no superheroes in the world, each of us is a little light in the night. May the fireflies converge into a galaxy to illuminate the way home for the departed.

On March 27, I received an order to return to Nanning, and some team members stayed to continue the search work.

In these seven days, we fought side by side with thousands of workers from all over the country to deal with the air crash.

Together, we completed the search for the black box, and found more than 30,000 pieces of aircraft wreckage and debris, with a cumulative search area of more than 9 million square meters. I was proud of being a member of the search and rescue team.
