Li Qinghua introduced that at 13: 30, the Air Force transport plane landed safely at Nanchang Airport and handed over 1 million candles to Jiangxi Province.

This was the first batch of communication equipment airlifted to the disaster-stricken areas.
A group army aviation regiment of Guangzhou Military Region delivers new year’s goods for "snow island"
Guilin, Feb. 6 (Zhang Kejin, special correspondent of Su Fei, Zhong Youguo) At 9: 00 a.m. on Feb. 6, Guilin Liangjiang International Airport, three military transport helicopters of a group army aviation regiment in Guangzhou Military Region were ready to go.
With the command of the tower, under the leadership of Song Danmin, deputy head of the regiment, three iron eagles took off with a large number of relief supplies, and reporters went at random.
The destination of this trip is Chetian Township, Ziyuan County. The continuous snowfall since mid-January has turned this place into a "snow island". As the year is approaching, the villagers are short of food, oil and warm clothes, and their normal life is seriously threatened.
After receiving the task, You Haitao, the commander of the group army, and Yue Shixin, the political commissar, made careful plans and decisively decided to implement airdrop replenishment.
The reporter saw that the helicopter was carrying bundles of cotton quilts, boxes of instant noodles, meat, fish, cooking oil, etc., mainly for the new year’s goods purchased by governments at all levels for the victims.
After more than an hour, the plane entered the territory of Chetian Township. At this time, the weather is getting worse and worse, the clouds are getting thicker and thicker, and the cabin is blurred. This can make the comrades of the crew make a mistake, and victory is in sight. If we return here, the work done in front will fall short. Everyone was unwilling to fail. They lowered their flying height again and again, and repeatedly searched for the launching point.
After several searches, the airdrop field at the top of the mountain finally caught everyone’s eye, and the villagers had already stood there looking forward to it. The helicopter lowered its nose and flew to the airdrop point. Two minutes later, the helicopter hovered 5 meters above the airdrop point. Pilots and mechanics in the back cabin forcibly opened the hatch and pushed bundles of relief supplies out of the cabin.
Comrades of the crew told reporters that we should strive for more flights today so that the affected people can have a happy year. The reporter looked down and saw the cheering people on the ground waving their thanks to the plane.
Longyan detachment of armed police received a new task.
Longyan, Fujian, February 6 (Ye Hailian) On the New Year’s Eve, officers and men of the Longyan detachment of the Armed Police have hung up red lanterns to prepare for the arrival of New Year’s Eve.
At 12 noon, Longyan municipal government called, and Changting, Shanghang and Wuping counties were affected by freezing rain, resulting in a large-scale power outage and power shortage, and more than 16,000 households could not supply electricity normally, requiring the detachment to quickly send officers and men to assist the Municipal Electric Power Bureau in power repair.
"The people need us to go!" Without saying a word, more than 200 officers and men packed their bags and rushed to the front line of disaster relief. Most of them were recruits who had just joined the army for less than two months, and the training task for recruits had just completed one third. For them, the task in this special period was difficult.
In Changting County, which suffered the most, more than 100 officers and men were divided into 8 groups, which were responsible for the emergency repair of power from Niu Ling, the ancient town of Changting County, to Qingshan Village for more than 15 kilometers. In order to carry the new electric poles up the mountain, their first task is to clear a walking road. The trees on the mountain have been covered with ice for a long time, and they have been broken into pieces, and they are everywhere. The original path has long since disappeared, so the officers and men can only open the way again.
A small broken wood can be sawed in a few seconds, because it is covered with a thick layer of ice, and it will take several minutes to clean it up. The splashing smoothies splashed all over the officers and men’s faces, and when they were warm, they melted into their clothes, with sweat in them, emitting clouds of hot air. Some officers and men’s hats were frozen with icicles nearly a centimeter long.
In the face of difficulties, officers and men can’t care that today is New Year’s Eve. Lin Yiguang, the political commissar of the detachment, and Lin Zhongmin, the deputy detachment leader, have arrived at the army from different places with their new year’s goods, and are preparing to celebrate the festival with their husbands, but they did not expect to be empty. The soldier Huang Dechen’s hometown is in Changting County, less than 5 minutes away from the army camp. In order to fight the disaster, he even dared not call home. No one among the new soldiers dares to mention that today is the New Year’s Eve, because they are all away from their hometown for the first time, and they are the darling of their parents. They are afraid that mentioning the Spring Festival will make them homesick and cry, and they are afraid that the disaster relief work will be affected.
With the full efforts of the employees and officers and men of the electric utility company, the city has cleared about 8 kilometers of uphill roads, newly erected 15 electric poles, and repaired more than 1,000 meters of lines. More than 15,000 households have obtained basic lighting electricity, and all tasks are expected to be completed on the seventh day of the first month. More than 200 officers and men of the Armed Police will continue to fight against disasters until the line is completely back to normal.
A certain unit of the Second Artillery Corps made the masses watch the Spring Festival Evening.
Wan ‘an, Jiangxi, February 6 (Cao Fan) February 6 is the New Year’s Eve. The officers and men of a certain unit of the Second Artillery Corps have been working all day for the homes of the affected people in Jiangxi to light up as soon as possible!
After receiving the order at 4 am on February 4, this unit immediately dispatched and rushed to the disaster relief site more than 200 kilometers away. The task they face is: to send the components of transmission towers (four in total) to the top of the mountain, and to climb five mountains as far as possible.
Due to the blizzard, the original road on the mountain could not be found. After the troops arrived, they first used sickles and shovels to open a road. It is not easy to carry heavy steel from the winding mountain road to the top of the mountain when it rains and there are avalanches and stones falling overhead from time to time, let alone under such conditions. In order to save time, the officers and men are reluctant to go back to the temporary station for lunch, and they all eat the box lunch sent up the mountain on the spot.
The author suddenly heard a scream when interviewed on the spot. It turned out that a soldier fell on the road and the steel plate was pressed on him. The author asked him why he carried two steel plates. He said that he had great strength, and one came too far, which was a waste of time. He carried two steel plates at a time and tried to make people use electricity as soon as possible.
Because the local power supply has not been restored, on New Year’s Eve, the army sent a cultural car with its own electricity and a big screen TV to broadcast TV in Xingguo Square in Xingguo County, and more than 3,000 people watched the Spring Festival Gala.
