As a retired soldier, he braved difficulties and dangers, silently adhered to the primitive jungle, and explained the true colors of soldiers who "do not fade after retirement" with practical actions; As a Communist Party member, he devoted himself to protecting the Asian elephant for decades and fulfilled his pledge of joining the party with perseverance; As an environmental protection guard, he practices the concept of "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains" and contributes to biodiversity in Yunnan with green actions. He is yanhanlu, a veteran. "As a retired soldier, it is an unshirkable responsibility to repay his hometown" In December 1994, Yan Hanlu, who graduated from junior high school, couldn't wait to sign up for the army with great longing for the green military camp, and came to Baoshan brigade of Yunnan Baoshan Forest Police Corps to serve as he wished. After entering the military camp, Yan Hanlu worked hard to practice military skills and professional technology. He soon became a business backbone and performed well in protecting forest and wild animal and plant resources, protecting ecological security and maintaining social order in the forest area. In December 1997, yanhanlu withdrew from active service. The three-year forest police army has made yanhanlu more aware of the value of natural ecology and the importance of cherishing precious natural resources. After his retirement, Yan Hanlu came to Kunming, Yunnan Province to look for job opportunities, but his heart often misses his hometown, where there are vast forests and rare animals and plants. Just when he was concerned about his hometown, he was attracted by the information of recruiting forest rangers in Xishuangbanna wild elephant valley scenic spot. Yan Hanlu did not hesitate to return to his hometown. Despite the opposition of his relatives and friends, he applied to work in wild elephant valley scenic spot and embarked on the journey of protecting wild Asian elephants. In order to carry out in-depth research on wild Asian elephants and strengthen the protection and publicity of wild Asian elephants, an Asian elephant observation and protection group was established in wild elephant valley scenic spot in June 2005. Yan Hanlu, who learned the news, took the initiative to sign up and put forward the idea of being transferred to the Asian elephant observation and protection group to the leaders. He sorted out his understanding of elephant living habits in recent years into a report material and carefully reported to the leaders of the company. When seeing the materials sorted out by yanhanlu, the leaders of the company determined that it was a good seedling of the members of the Asian elephant observation group. The two sides hit it off immediately. Yanhanlu became the first group of members who have been fighting in this difficult position so far. "As a guardian of environmental protection, protecting the Asian elephant is to protect the ecological home" As a national first-class protected wild animal, Asian elephant is listed as one of the endangered species of the Convention on international trade in endangered species. It is mainly distributed in Xishuangbanna Prefecture, Yunnan Province, and parts of South and Southeast Asia. "To protect the Asian elephant is to protect our ecological home." For decades, yanhanlu has repeatedly engaged in the observation, feeding, guidance and protection of Asian elephants. It has been accompanied by mountains and elephants all the year round, and has carefully taken care of the healthy growth of the "behemoths" in the reserve. One day in July 2005, yanhanlu, crouching on a big tree, was tracking and observing a wild elephant herd. Suddenly I heard a roar from the elephants, and a little elephant took two steps back, but its step back was very strange. Yanhanlu didn't think much. He ventured to slide down from the crouching tree and darted up another tree closer to the elephant group. Through careful observation, he found that the leg of the baby elephant was clamped by a hunting clip, and the wound had festered. Yan Hanlu immediately reported to the company's leaders. After expert observation, the injured baby elephant must be treated immediately. After asking the relevant departments, a rescue team of more than 100 people entered the wild elephant valley that night, and yanhanlu, the most familiar terrain, became the main force of the rescue team. In order to separate the little elephant from the elephant group, Yan Hanlu proposed to expel the elephant group with the sound of semi-automatic rifle in the hands of the forest police. Under his leadership, a small team of armed police soldiers adopted a circuitous and gradual strategy, and finally isolated the little elephant for treatment in more than three hours. Today, the Asian elephant named Ranran has grown up healthily and has given birth to a baby elephant and promoted to mother. Among the Asian wild elephant rescue operations participated in, yanhanlu was most impressed by the rescue operation for the wild elephant "Kun VI". At about 5:00 p.m. on June 19, 2010, Yan Hanlu, who was preparing to leave work, suddenly received a phone call telling him that he wanted to rescue an adult injured male elephant. Without saying a word, he immediately packed up some necessary tools and drugs for rescue and hurriedly boarded the rescue vehicle sent by the forest public security. The rescue operation of wild elephant "Kun VI" lasted three days, in which it took nearly 20 hours to drive "Kun VI" from the injured place to the roadside that can be opened to traffic. Because "Kun six" is in estrus, his temper is very irritable, and his physical injury is even more difficult to control. Yan Hanlu and his team members skillfully avoided several times when they wanted to turn around and attack the rescue team members. Finally, with the joint efforts of Yan Hanlu and the rescue team, kunliu was sent to the Asian elephant provenance breeding and rescue center in Xishuangbanna for follow-up treatment. In the Spring Festival of 2013, wild elephants in wild elephant valley haunted frequently. From the first day of the new year to the end of the holiday, elephant herds moved in the scenic spot every day. On the third day of the lunar new year, a group of wild elephants were very manic and unstable. At that time, two or three hundred tourists were passing near the corridor. At this time, a group of wild elephants suddenly rushed towards the crowd. The situation was very critical. Yanhanlu is only five meters away from the elephants. In order to protect the safety of tourists, yanhanlu and his team members led the elephants away regardless of their lives. At the same time, they quickly evacuated the tourists to the viaduct, avoiding a major accident. There are countless dangers like this, but yanhanlu works tirelessly and performs his duties. Over the past few years, he has participated in the major rescue operation of the injured Asian elephant in the wild on October 1, 2007, the rescue operation of the wild elephant valley on February 18, 2012, the rescue operation of the abandoned elephant "Xiaoqiang" in July 2015 and the rescue operation of the baby elephant "Yangniu" in August 2015. "As a Communist Party member, it is a simple wish to stick to dedication" In 2020, the covid-19 outbreak of new crown pneumonia interrupted the pace of tourists heading for the wild elephant valley. But with the return of Asian elephants, the task of protecting Asian elephants was heavier. Yanhanlu voluntarily gave up the opportunity to reunite with his relatives and consciously shouldered the safety early warning work of the observation team. Go out early and return late every day, always stick to their posts, and carefully observe the presence and absence of wild elephants around the scenic spot. From the South Gate of the scenic spot to the north gate of the scenic spot, and then to the observatory, yanhanlu recorded in detail the situation of each wild Asian elephant family, retained the individual information of each Asian elephant, and left his footsteps in every place that can be safely monitored, only to provide a powerful information basis for Asian elephant research. As the only Asian elephant observation and protection group in China, for more than 20 years, the daily work of him and his team members is to follow the activities of wild Asian elephants and make all kinds of safety early warning and data observation in the 1.5 million mu virgin forest of Mengyang Nature Reserve in Xishuangbanna. Their daily hiking mileage is almost more than 10 kilometers. In daily work, in addition to the humid and muggy conditions in the tropical rain forest and the bites of snakes, insects, rats and ants, it is also necessary to carry out individual identification, image and video data collection and activity trace tracking of the wild Asian elephant, the largest wild animal on the land. If you are careless, you will encounter the sudden attack of the wild elephant, which is full of crises. Since joining the Asian elephant protection group, due to the particularity and danger of the post of the observation and protection group, people have left and new people have joined. Keyanhanlu always adheres to his faith, never forgets his original heart, remembers his responsibilities and mission, actively takes on the role, and dedicates his youth and blood to the development of the enterprise and the observation and protection of Asian elephants. The unrepentant and persistent use of Yanhan land has provided a large number of valuable and precious first-hand information materials for the observation, protection and rescue of wild Asian elephants in China, and has made positive contributions to alleviating the conflict between humans and elephants, promoting harmony between humans and elephants, protecting biodiversity and enhancing the international brand influence of China's protection of Asian elephants. He used the mission and responsibility of Communists in the new era to interpret the spirit of veterans who are not afraid of hardship and fatigue. In 2015, Yan Hanlu was awarded the title of "national excellent migrant workers" by the leading group of migrant workers under the State Council, and in 2016, he was commended as an advanced individual of "the most beautiful Yunling state-owned enterprise" by the Party committee of Yunnan SASAC. In October 2019, he was invited to Beijing to participate in the celebration of "the 70th anniversary of the founding of new China". (outlook new era)
