When the flood receded, a glorious name was engraved on the list of anti flood martyrs - Zhou Kunxun, "I am the Guardian" - Zheng Maoqi, Yang Mingyue, Liu Baorui, August 16, 2023, in Shulan City, Jilin Province, Queshan County, Henan Province. In the early morning, the convoy of hearses departed from Shulan. After the rainstorm, floating clouds filled the sky. As the afternoon approached Queshan, the sky cleared completely, and the clear sunlight shone on the earth. The hometown welcomed the hero's return with clear mountains and waters. As the hearse drove off the highway, a touching scene unfolded before us. On both sides of the clean and tidy road, crowded with men, women, and children of all ages, neither the head nor the tail could be seen. They held chrysanthemums and looked in the direction of the hearse. As the hearse passed, almost everyone stood on tiptoe, leaning forward slightly, with anxious and mournful eyes in their eyes. In the queue, the children also raised their hands and saluted like police uncles, with solemn expressions on their small faces. The black and white banners pulled up on both sides of the road read: "You are the pride of the people of Queshan" and "The heroic spirit of Queshan stretches for thousands of years"... People's hearts express deep condolences for the heroes, and the wide streets are filled with reverence for the martyrs. Upon learning of the sacrifice of his younger brother Zhou Kunxun, the older brother Zhou Wenxun immediately rushed to Shulan without telling his mother. In the fields of early autumn, the floods have receded, and the endless rice fields are showing golden colors. Farmers are working in twos and threes. If it weren't for introductions from people around us, no one would have imagined that this ordinary small river in front of us would mercilessly devour the life of a hero. Zhou Wenxun walked with heavy steps towards the small bridge where Zhou Kunxun sacrificed himself. The accompanying military district leader introduced the situation to him softly as he walked. On August 3rd, bridges collapsed and roads were damaged in villages and towns such as Jinma Town, Kaiyuan Town, and Qili Township in Shulan City, trapping more than 2300 people. The situation was extremely urgent. At 10 a.m., Zhou Kunxun led the command team to urgently go out of the critical area of the Lalin River Basin in Jinma Town. They fought for 4 hours continuously, commanding the militia to load and unload flood control materials, block crevices, repair dangerous sections, and evacuate the masses in the face of wind and rain. At 14:18, the joint command of the military and the local authorities urgently assessed the situation and decisively adjusted the deployment of troops. Subsequently, Zhou Kunxun continued to organize militia to investigate and evacuate the residents of Jinma Town who had not yet been relocated, and reinforced the embankments that had already been repaired. At around 15:00, Zhou Kunxun returned to the militia preparation point and continued to command the assembly of subsequent forces, the allocation of materials and equipment, and prepare to fight against the flood peak. At 23:30, the flood situation in Kaiyuan Town and Qili Township continued to intensify. According to a notice from the Shulan Flood Control Headquarters, some people near the Qingsong Forest Farm in Kaiyuan Town were besieged by floods, and their neighboring Qili Township needed to relocate the people in advance. Zhou Kunxun also tirelessly rushed to the militia preparation point for pre war mobilization. At 23:53, Zhou Kunxun urgently commanded two emergency platoons, each with 30 militia members, to rush to Kaiyuan Town and Qili Township to rescue more than 1000 trapped and disconnected people and assist in excavating the emergency spillway of Baoan Reservoir. At around 1:15 on August 4th, Zhou Kunxun arrived in Kaiyuan Town. At 1:30, due to the increased discharge of the Mopanshan Reservoir, the flood situation in Jinma Town was once again urgent. Zhou Kunxun disregarded fatigue and turned to Jinma Town
