China's southwest region is home to the world's largest karst landforms.

The ground is unstable and fragile, with many unstable rock formations.

High-speed rail built here faces the lethal threat of geological disasters

that can strike at any time.

Tell me exactly what your concern is (Project By Railway Construction Corps)

You checked it the day before

Why again today?

Such a waste of time

Even with a girlfriend doing exploration,

you can't use her like this

Don't you think those birds are strange?

Strange?

I think you are looking at them with strange eyes

Now you're looking at me with strange eyes

Didn't you sleep well last night?

Nothing to do with my sleep

What I need is to compare the two pregeographical forecast results

So when we go in later...

Genius Hong,

you're always right

Incoming Call Dad

Refused Call Dad

Why not answer it?

He comes to see you for the new year

and you don't even answer

I hate to yell at him

That is your father

You think he comes to see me

He comes to see the tunnel

He also manages to check my work.

Hi Mr. Hong

What is it for today?

We'll do one more preforecast

Again!?

This one more time,

just wastes more time

We keep on working even during the new year

What for?

Racing against time

Tell me, you know why I seldom talk to you?

Boy, don't speak like this

Let me tell you, if it were not for this tunnel,

I wouldn't even speak a word to you

Whatever you like! Who wants to talk to you!

You don't get paid to fight, right?

Get to work

Stay here, they're blasting

Okay Get Ready!

Smoke eliminated!

Sulfur meets standard!

Check team enter!

EOB staff ready!

More ventilation!

Still highly concentrated!

See if any explosions failed!

Don't worry!

Leaking water!

Leaking water!

Leaking water!

Let's withdraw!

Run! Hurry!

Leaking water!

Run! Hurry!

Leaking water!

Run!

Come over! Run!

Someone got hurt!

My case! Leave it, I'll get it!

Withdraw! This way!

Hurry!

Wait!

I remember you told me,

there is a cavern below the inverted arch

Yes, detected the day before yesterday

Lead the water down

Stop the power!

Stop the power quickly!

Hong Yizhou!

Be careful!

Mr. Hong!

You two come over!

Withdraw quickly!

Right spot!

Not there!

Here!

No!

Too much water!

The pump can't deal with it!

Withdraw quickly! Run!

Lower the detector!

No signal now!

Hong Yizhou!

Are you okay?

Mom!

What's the matter, Hong Yizhou?!

Near Target Position

I got it!

I got it!

2 meters left off the central line,

130 centimeters below the basic height,

thickness 2.3 centimeters!

Zhou Ming!

Zhou Ming! Here!

Send the explosives magazine!

Hurry!

Send the explosives!

50 kilos of emulsion explosives!

3 underwater exploding stands!

First, the international news

The Indian Ocean Plate

is in a recent active state,

leading to in many countries'

disasters of various degrees

The Indian Ocean Plate

has a great impact on geological stability in China

Therefore, for preventing disasters,

more attention is needed (Internationally: Frequent Disasters)

Now, the domestic news..

How much?

Scan the QR code, WeChat or Alipay

26.8 yuan

I don't have that function on my phone

I don't have small change. You can go to another store.

What did you say?! I said I have not small change,

I asked you to go to another store

Let me pay this bill 160, WeChat or Alipay

Alipay

I said, I have no small change

Is this Chinese money?

Yes

Chinese people can't spend Chinese money?

Change now!

Pack it!

I came across half of China to see you

Now look!

The caves,

The prettiest mountains,

The prettiest water,

The prettiest caves,

Thank...

Thank my brother Shufen,

he is my brother, spent the most

He sent me a carnival

Not you, sorry

Keep a business card of mine Okay

In the whole world,

the most breathtaking,

the most exciting caves

are just behind me

Come on guys!

Let's all send 666!

Come on! Cheer up!

666! Come on!

Follow me, you won't get lost

Later I'll show you

the biggest water-eroded caves in Asia

So annoying

Grandpa, there are always potential accidents and risks in life...

Should we escape or face them?

Face them, of course How? Courage?

Of course, that's not enough (January 28th, 10:50 am)

The amount of your insurance ensures your life expectancy

You're a veterinarian!

What forecast?

It said no water the day before, but there was so much water today

I told you there might be danger

Yes, I can understand it very well

But what the problem is, right,

we should clarify it

Because, for the data,

it does not mean it's always precise

If there is an incident...

What incident?

Well, you should give a precise forecast

Wait...

Hey don't you leave!

Excuse me

How do you explain today?

I acknowledge today's measurement is not same as the day before

Then what is the pregeoforecast good for?

You failed to detect the water!

What responsibility should you take?

What if there are deaths?

We found the day before yesterday

that in the tunnel the water belt 10 meters on the left

There's no water in the front

The conclusion was that no danger of sudden water

Don't make any excuse

It's your problem!

Why yell at her?!

The pregeoforecast can hold for two hours

There are changes anytime in this mountain

It is like a rotating restaurant inside, you know?

Who knows!

Are you trying to scare me? Who scares you?

This amount of water disappeared suddenly

This is quite abnormal

Okay, Hong Yizhou,

you are the director of the Blasting Office

I won't argue with you about the explosives,

I'm from the detecting work team

I am talking about the problems in my team

You don't have to represent your girlfriend to argue with me

You understand,

the Indian Ocean Plate earthquake belt is active now

and having an impact on this area

I know

You handle this Okay

Speak

You're the director of the engineering section

You should know the importance of the progress

Leaking water is an accident

Engineer He is detecting inside

We'll take measures if there are problems

It is serious?

Listen to me

For the final kilometer, we can't spend anymore

I have to finish it on schedule

We can't delay it

You tell me one by one

You

Regarding the current tendency

What tendency?

The big geological change

To what extent?

I worry in this area there might be a landslide

Data I will give you the data,

but I need time

Report what he said to headquarters

Yes

Let's go in

Wait

Director Wang, come here

Stop the work now

Stop the work?

If we continue like this, the costs will be higher

But opening of the tunnel in March... Will be held on time as planned

Let's go

Here's your hearing aid

The last one didn't work?

The house just shook

Did it?

Now the official departments are getting involved

Their data is more precise than you amateurs

Your father is arriving soon

Soon?

He'll be here at 1:30 pm

But I don't have time to pick him up

I have to go up to the mountain

It's raining these days on the mountain

It must be very slippery

Don't worry about me

I have to change batteries for sensors

And I did promise Ms. Ding.

Right in front of her

I promised her the data,

so I have to do it

You won't die if you break promise

I will if it's you

I'm off Sweet words

Yundang Mountain 1:20 pm

Battery Recharged Stratum Abnormal Movement

Date

28th January

Time... the time is

1:55 pm

I found on the opposite Niuguan Mountain

a longitudinal crack

In the middle, a very strange cave

I am trying to use a drone to collect data

Anyone there?

Anyone?

Near the Yunjiang Market,

there is sinkhole and train crash

Vehicles and people are trapped

Protect the site and avoid secondary damage

Give me your hand!

Can anyone help us?

Help!

He is going to break the glass

Stand Clear

Stand back, now!

He's going to break the glass

Will the glass hurt me?

Let me out first

Help! Don't panic

Don't worry

One by one

Follow his order

One by one

We can all get out

Do you have signal on your phone?

Don't push

I want to live stream

Hey you,

what's it like down there?

There's a bus with people... An old man is helping us

Hurry up and leave!

Yizhou

Engineer He?

Hong Yizhou

Make it short

I'm at Yundang Mountain now

I have the data

My initial analysis of the data shows rocks inside

of the mountain are crashing into each other

They're crashing... What?

The rocks are crashing? Are you sure?

Yes

It's a landslide sign

Be careful

Leave there now

Transmit the data to me

I'll report to Ms. Ding Okay

Grandpa, get out of the way

We're professionals

Leave it to us

You leave here quickly

Who told you to rescue?

It's too dangerous here!

I'm in the way? I'll tell you!

Uncle Hong!

When I was young The rescue team is here now

I experienced many things You go up first

No, I'm not. I'm watching them

See how they rescue

Talk to him get him out of here quickly

It is too dangerous here!

Okay, okay. Take it easy.

I'm watching you

Uncle Hong... Uncle Hong Please go up now

I'm okay

Don't believe Hong Yizhou's story

It's nothing.

If you're unwell, let me know

Don't fool me

Come on

Warning

Watch your head Captain!

Are you okay?

Captain! Captain!

Goodness

There is a kid down there

Underground passages are everywhere

Here is a big cavity and at 20 meters down, there's water

I'm worried a landslide is set to happen soon

We need to leave here quickly

Everyone, leave here now

Hurry!

Go up!

Uncle Hong!

Uncle Hong! He went down again

Down again!

Friend, you can't go down

Let me tell you, he's down there to rescue

Leave now! I'll get him out!

Someone, take her out!

Okay

Lao Zhu, you two go up now

I'll take charge here

Yes! Yes!

Don't leave!

There are people here! There are people here!

Three of us

Where is that man?

Down there. He took my flashlight.

Done

Thanks! Thank you!

Uncle!

Kid!

Uncle! I'll take you out

I'm here

Don't pull on me!

It's crashing!

Zhiyakou Command Center 2:23 pm

How many times have I told you,

again and again,

you are still not doing it.

Today is the last day Director Wang

Have you connected with Mr. Lin?

The signals are not stable here

But the 5G signals of our station

are working well

Mr. Chen is making adjustment with them Okay

Ms. Ding, the screen is connected

It's ready Great

Engineer He

Check, check Please be seated

Connect to Mr. Lin Okay

I'll go over first Ms. Ding,

Ready to call at anytime

Okay

Ms. Ding, although the earthquake magnitude is not high,

the satellite data says

it would cause a landslide

The location is by the Yundang Mountain

It would endanger the tunnel and the bridge

I am heading towards Rescue Headquarters

All leaders are there

You have to find a solution quickly

Remember, the process

of high speed rail construction can not be delayed by this

Mr. Lin, trust me

We've been working at this tunnel for over 10 years

I'll do anything

to protect it

Drone 1 works well; Drone 2 works well

Drone 3 works well

All are working well

Move into the array

The first group finished

Fly as programmed

Positions are good

Signals are good

Data are sent back

Hong Yizhou, another crash here

It's very serious

The buildings and the cranes

were all buried

Uncle Hong is in the bus

and fell in too

There is a big cavity down there

I just went down to make a detection

It's a subterranean river

There is a subterranean river

Do you know that

From the destination

30 kilometers

I'll go to find the closest exit of the river

All the rivers are connected in that area

The Hegong Cave I've been at

is the upstream part of the river

Tell the rescue team to come to Hegong Cave

Xiaojin, stay calm

Stay away from the sink hole

Do you copy me?

My father is an experienced rail soldier

He knows what he needs to do

He knows...

Kid

Come on

Don't be afraid

Hold that rock

Watch your step

Slowly

Be careful

Get up

Anyone there? Yes!

Help!

Go

You go first

Get out first

I'm here

Help

Help here

Help. Help here

Here! Here!

Hurry

Where is this place?

Here! Here!

Someone is here

Pull him out

Harder

Don't touch me! Don't touch me!

I'm looking for...

looking for my bill

looking for my insurance bill

I'm sorry

I have to borrow your equipment

15 kilometers to destination

Insurance guy! It's wrong

This way

Come on! Wait for me!

Listen to me! Run upstream

I was a rail soldier, I'm experienced

Don't stop, keep running!

Run!

Close to the destination

Dad, Mom is sick

When are you back?

She needs to go to hospital

Why are we stopped?

Girl, may I borrow your coat?

Coat?

Put it on, put it on

The feathers flow that way

There is wind, so there is an exit

The wind comes from above

Let's go

Can you see?

The wind comes from there

I'll have a look

What's the rush?

Hold on! Hold on!

Hold on!

Are you okay?

Hold on! Hold on!

Pull him back!

Pull

Don't let go!

Kid,

countdown by seconds

See how many seconds can you count

until it hits the ground

Then tell me Okay

One

Two

Three

Three seconds

5 meters 1st second

15 meters 2nd second

44 meters deep

Too deep!

It's impossible to cross over

Maybe we should go back

Follow Grandpa

Thank you, Grandpa

You're my savior

Not necessary What are you talking about?

Now what?

What's the matter?

You're vomiting

Help him up

Such a large bump

Probably intracranial hemorrhage

Don't move

Let me try

We have to cross over

Don't be nervous

Stay still But you're a veterinarian

He can... he will, if he treats you as a human

The conditions are too bad here

We can't operate on the head

I can only dress your wound

Are you climbing across on the top?

Brin knot

You must watch a lot of TV

You must make it tight

Be careful

Be careful

Lowering the rope

Hold tight

We will get out

Grandpa

Grandpa

Pull

Hold to it

Hold on Grandpa

Hold on

Pull

Grandpa, are you okay?

Are you alright?

Hold on

I can't pull any more

Harder

The 4th data set has arrived

In my experience, within 72 hours, the sliding part will leave the base

We must blast and clear it before it happens

How? How do we do it?

I need a design survey and

and modeling test

Enlarge the left part It takes at least 5 hours

to have a final plan to you

There are 72 hours left before the landslide occurs

Your plan needs 5 hours

You think you can do whatever you like?

That is a mountain

not a children's toy

I need time to understand it

The longer it takes, the higher the cost will be

I don't want this outcome

Call Mr. Lin

National Rescue Command Center

Ding Yajun

Please explain to the leaders briefly

what is 'blast and clear'

Okay

Considering the structure of the rocks

we use a targeted blasting technique

to move the most dangerous part of the mountain

to the safe side,

to reduce the loss

This is blast and clear

May I ask an outside question?

Since it needs to blast,

can we directly bomb the mountain?

This is totally different

Target blasting requires the position, the depth,

the angle and the time

to be very precise

We can control each blasting point

within milliseconds of time

so as to achieve our goal

I see

You are victims

and we are here to rescue

Anything you need,

feel free to tell us

We will fully support you

Let's go

Hurry

Hold still

Be careful

Take it, these are high explosives

High explosives

must be checked closely

Let's go

Anything else?

No more

Anything else in the car hopper?

No

Hong Yizhou!

Hong Yizhou!

Who's there?

Dad!

You stay there!

Wait for me!

Amazing

Dad, how are you?

Still alive

Come on

Are you okay? I'm alright

Why are you here alone?

I had no time to notify others

There was a crash outside

A crash?

Is the tunnel in danger?

Why are you here?

You should be in the tunnel

I'm here to save you

What?

I said, we have to go up right now

to find the exit

Go up from here

Go! Go!

10:49 pm

Tunnel Damaged, Bridge Damaged

Five hours for such a poor test

I'm not sure what the problem was...

If...

If we could sacrifice a part of the tunnel maybe it's possible

Don't even think about it

Everyone,

we are modifying the plan

Please finish your meal now

and stand by for call up

Everyone,

We are modifying the plan,

Please finish your meal now

and stand by for call up

Have some while it's warm

I'm not hungry

Thanks

With Engineer He,

don't get angry

I know

China Railway Construction

Receiving data

I've tried to find the expeditions you need

I am asking for those who entered the cave... Ms. Ding and Engineer He

The sensors laid by Hong Yizhou are still receiving data

Super hero,

the entrance you came in

is really blocked?

Then can we get out?

My phone is going to be dead soon

Let's save energy

Speak less

Why did you hide in the truck?

You snuck out

Dad doesn't allow me to play games

He beats me too

I want to go to my Granny's

This is an intersection

Here's a whirlpool

Grandpa,

Which way?

Let me see

Go this way

Wrong direction

The exit is this way

Why that way?

Let me tell you

With my 40 years of experiences

Dad... In 1981,

I was the monitor then

Dad...

My superior and I lost our way during the exploration

All the way,

we went against the wind

to get out of the cave

The wind

comes from here

Dad... So...

Could you put these on please?

I don't want to yell at you again Put them on please

Please

Was it summer or winter?

Summer It is winter now!

What about winter?

Temperature inside barely changes

It's hotter outside so the air flows inward,

if outside is colder then the air flows outward

So wind goes opposite

You are wrong

With my fellows,

we went against the wind,

all the way here

We happened to meet you,

so the direction is correct

Because the temperature outside

was still high

So you went against the wind,

it was okay, but now

it is late night

The temperature outside is close to zero, Do you understand?

Go this way

I wish you were right

Ms. Ding,

here is a soft rock belt

It is moving

It is proper to lay explosives here

Just here

Load the data in

Test Successful, Tunnel Intact: 100% High-Speed Train Bridge Intact: 100%

This is the new plan

The new plan won't damage the bridge Right

Very good. This is very good.

Now let's go. Start!

Go!

Start! Okay!

Let's go! Stop!

Slowly

Hurry up guys

Slowly Come on guys

Good luck guys

Lu Xiaojin

Wait!

Keep in touch Okay

Be safe Don't worry

The data you found today is important

Well done

Hong Yizhou did this

He is not bad

No news is good news

I believe he is safe

Drink slowly

It's alcohol

I know you miss it

Real antifreeze solution

Ms. Ding,

you know my temper

We share the same feelings

I understand

Now,

I worry about Hong Yizhou and his group

These stones are so beautiful

Hurry up

What are these white things?

Gypsum crystal flower

Catch up

Watch your step

If we can't get out

Insurance means nothing It looks like a crash soon

Be quick

We can only stop at the big cavity, go

Go

Are you sure the exit is over there?

What's wrong?

The air flow has slowed

There might be a crash behind

What? Nothing

I didn't hear you clearly

What I am sure is,

we can't go back

only forward

I know

You stay here, I'll go down to have a look

No way

No way

What's it like there?

No way out there

Wait

Say it again

I said there is no way out

Only a water pool

But I don't think we're wrong

I just had a look

The water level wasn't high

It just rose up

and blocked this exit

No way here

We have to find another way

We can detect a way out

Dad, are you kidding?

We have no oxygen bottle,

no breathing machines and no other equipment

How do we detect a way out? No equipment except ourselves

Yizhou,

you can't do this now?

I taught you rock climbing

as well as swimming

You can stay in the water without breathing for 50 meters

I know you can

What? What's the problem?

No, Dad

I have no idea how far is it to the outside

and I don't know if there is a cavity in the middle

How do I detect a way out? No way to detect...

You are afraid of water

I mean we can wait

We can wait here, we just wait here

It is the safest and the best way

How can we wait?

Up there, crashes are occurring

This exit might be blocked too

There are several lives here

That insurance man

has a head wound

He's bleeding

Is this the wrong way?

There is a kid there

How can we wait?

Can't you say something positive?

You're afraid of water

You're scared to go down

I'll do it

Dad! Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Don't be absurd

Are you trying to die?

How come I have a son like you?

Soft,

cowardly,

I want to help Grandpa

Stay here

This son is good for nothing

His father has to do everything

I always see my mom in the water

Mom,

we'll be at the hospital soon

Don't worry

Dad isn't here,

but I'm with you

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom is in the water,

but I can't save her

I know

From childhood to adulthood,

you hardly acknowledged me

I am over 30 now

I am always wrong in your eyes

Whatever I do is always wrong

Because...

Because I drowned my mom

Yizhou,

I never blamed you

You were only twelve

You were just a kid

How could I blame you?

You don't blame me?

You never blamed me in your mind?

Can you say in your mind you never blamed me?

You know,

I can't get in the water,

not because I'm soft,

not because I'm soft

I can't get in the water

because in the water

I'll see mom

She's struggling

I'll want to grab her, but I can't

I can't

No matter what I do, I can't grab her

Why? Tell me why!?

I called you

Why didn't you come home?

Why didn't you answer my call?

Why didn't you answer the phone?

There was a landslide,

there was gushing mud,

I had to go help

Help?

Were you the only one who could help?

Were you the only one?!

You were needed at home

You are my only father

You are the only husband of my mom

She needed you to take her to hospital...

She needed you to take her to hospital

Lu Xiaojin, I finally found an expert who's been to the underground river

Call him now,

and find the exit

Hello

I'll send two people with you

to bring Hong Yizhou back

Be careful

Ms. Ding, the other exit of the underground river

was sent to the rescue team

As we are short of men to blast and clear

I'll go myself

Alert. New Crash Detected

The water level is dropping down quickly

How come?

Something is wrong

The direction of the landslide...

Ms. Ding, something happened at Sun Guowei's place

Someone was injured by a falling rock

Cut to the big screen This is out of nowhere

We're not prepared

How come?

This is real time data

The rock structure of the mountain changed suddenly in an hour

What we saw before

is not what it is now

We made the wrong choice

The landslide direction is now towards the town

The total mud volume could be up to 30 million cubic tons

50 tons of weight

Why didn't you find it last night?

The crack was deeply hidden

It wasn't detected until it started to move

The data sent back by the satellite

confirmed this change

The satellite data says the

Yundang Mountains landslide is changing its direction,

moving 130 millimeters towards Yunjiang Town direction

The mountain top will slide down within 2 hours

taking only three minutes before it hits the town

Not only will the town be destroyed,

but it could threaten the chemical plant nearby

Initiate the national emergency response plan

All troops take action

to evacuate people!

You must pay close attention

All other departments

get ready for orders at anytime

to take further actions (Disaster Relief Command Center)

Yes (January 29th, 7:30 am)

Fellows and folks,

everyone from Yunjiang Town!

I am Governor Ling Xufeng!

I'm asking each of you

to follow instructions

and leave in an orderly fashion,

right now!

Leave everything behind but save people!

Only if we survive

can we rebuild our homes!

We must survive!

We must trust the Party and the government!

This is the right choice!

Now follow us!

All workers on the mountain come back to support rescue in the town

We'll send out as many as possible

Ms. Ding,

an urgent notice from the weather center

A heavy storm is arriving sooner than expected

When? Any minute

Follow them!

Hurry up! Follow them!

Hurry!

Teacher! Don't be afraid!

Why are you still here?

Hurry!

Control Center! Survivors were found in the water

Flying over now!

Survivors found near a sinkhole

Copy that! Rescue team is on their way!

More survivors in the cave!

More rescue support needed!

Hurry up!

Water level is increasing

Hong Yizhou and the rest are all safe now and they are on the way to the hospital

Ms. Ding, too many people won't be able to escape the town in time

What?

What should we do?

Damage Probability: 95%

It seems there's only one way...

Place the explosives...

in the tunnel

You mean blast the tunnel?

We've been working on it for over 10 years

It's nearly finished and you want to destroy it?

The shock wave from the tunnel

will divert the rocks from Luzhang Mountain

into the space between Yunjiang Town and Yundang Mountain,

forming a barrier

Destroy the tunnel?! What is wrong with you?

What are you talking about? What's kind of idea you got?

Are you crazy?

Saving people is important, but we can't destroy the tunnel

It's built too strong to blast

If..if no one was saved... This is science!

You shut up! The data shows

it is the only way!

The only way!

You shut up!

This is your solution?

If you want, you can quit

Can you do your job? Keep calm

I can understand your feelings

Yes, but this high speed rail,

this tunnel, is the property of the country

The local people are relying on this tunnel

to bring business here

Where is your brain?

Find another solution

Engineer He, you're set to retire in two months,

When the tunnel is finished,

it will be a perfect time for you to retire

Stop him

But this is really, the only way

This will be the last tunnel I build in my lifetime

My patella

got broken here

in this tunnel

Now,

as it is nearly completed,

we are using our own hands

to destroy it

Your plan,

what's the success rate?

With this amount of explosives,

the success rate is above 45%

In Western culture,

when disaster hit,

they relied on Noah's Ark

Our ancestors believe

Jingwei filled up the sea with pebbles

We can remove a mountain

Double the explosives

Blast it!

Watch out!

Don't fall!

Someone's here!

All trapped people are rescued

They're on the way to the emergency center

Arrival in 15 minutes

No casualties

Copy that

Now that we're on the helicopter to the hospital,

I'd like to thank all the kind and brave people

The helipad is ready

The sky is clear

Send wounded to the operation room

Copy it

Dad

Have something warm

I've never had coffee in my life

Have some, Dad

Just a little

Son

Come on, you take some to warm up yourself

I'm fine dad

Come on, drink it

Come on Okay

Then, I'll drink

Captain

Roger

Can you do me a favor?

Please connect to

the frequency of the project department

No problem

We won't go!

We won't go!

We can save the others

But no way will you blast it!

You go if you want

I'll never do it

You say it, then we do it?

Are you sure we can save them by blasting it?

Blast here, blast there

What do you administrators do?

Yeah!

No way! No Way

You need to listen!

The tunnel is our sweat and blood

We won't destroy it

Never!

We won't do it!

No!

No!

No!

Guys, calm down!

Let Ms. Ding finish

The feeling we have for this tunnel is the same as you

This tunnel

we've been working on or over 10 years

It's a decade of hardship and achievements

But now...

we have to

blast it!

Because it is the only way to save the town right now

The 160 thousand people in Yunjiang Town

can't be evacuated from the town in two hours

We have no other choice

Our first choice is to save people

Our predecessors were rail soldiers

and they are the group that sacrificed the most in the era of peace

Today we are still

an army

who can fight

and who will sacrifice

If a tunnel is destroyed,

we can burrow it again

If a bridge is broken,

we can connect it again

In the worst scenario,

it costs us another 10 years

I have a wife and kids

and I've been thinking,

if my family was there,

they'll be waiting to be rescued

Go! Thanks to everyone!

Let's go!

Let's go!

Let's do it!

I'm coming!

Ms. Ding,

Hong Yizhou asked me to forward you an idea

Beside Yundang Mountain is a hill

named Niuguan Hill

If we put the explosives there,

blast that hill first,

it would form a better barrier between the town and Yundang Mountain

This could save the town

Come on!

He said the Niuguan Hill Crack is deep enough for a blast

Ms. Ding,

if we could put the explosives in this hill,

the success rate increases to 90%

Connect me to the helicopter Okay

The cave entrance is at a negative angle

The helicopter can't approach it

We can only try the anchor point from far away

Try it Okay

It's done

Zhao Qiao!

He's injured! Pull him up!

Control Center!

The rocks at the entrance are too soft to hook up

We can't make it

If we can't plant the explosives there,

this plan will fail

Captain

We're closer to the cave entrance

I can climb there to plant the explosives

We have orders, we can't get involved

This isn't us going against anything

We're doing this

to save lives

and save the tunnel and the town

You try to get as close as you can

and drop me down

I'm the only one who can do this now

Trust me

I've climbed up Mount Everest

Dad,

I'm determined to do something extraordinary

If it were you,

you'd definitely do it

Dad

Follow them

Follow them

Hurry! Hurry up!

Follow closely! Get in the cave!

Go inside!

Hurry! Hurry!

Follow them!

The cave entrance is at a negative angle

I can't approach it

There is a platform in the direction of 2 o'clock

I'll drop you there

Okay

Hong Yizhou,

you know that once you get there you might not be able to come back

I know

But it's worth ti

Dad

See you soon

Are you ready?

8:52 am

You served in the army?

Dad!?

Why are you here?

You can't make it alone

We have to work together

Come on!

Ms. Ding,

600 KG of explosives are ready

I'll come with you and two blast experts

Ms. Ding!

Ms. Ding!

Send someone else!

You stay here to command!

I have to stay with my soldiers!

Ms. Ding... Engineer He, listen to me

You now have my authority

If I can't finish the job,

the tunnel,

you give orders for blasting

No... You are an old rail soldier

Stay here, everyone trusts you

Come back safe

Girls and boys,

I know you all feel cold

and scared

But we won't give up, right?

We have to hang on so

the rescue team will find us and save us out

If you feel cold, just rub your hands

Aunty,

I don't want to cry,

I just can't control it

I know you are from the mountains

You can sing songs

Who will sing a song?

Can you teach me to sing?

Who can sing me a song, okay?

Mom says

if you have a wish

speak it out loudly

to the deep valley

It will respond to you

with the echo of power

It will accompany you

Mom says

If you have a wish

speak it out loudly

to the deep valley

It will respond to you

with the echo of power

It will accompany you

and sing together with you

The valley says

I want to go far away

to the end of the sky

to bring back an everlasting sun

to brighten every corner

of my hometown

Be brave and move forward

you will be able to see

hope

Qi Lei, for Chinese PLA man, Air Force Warcraft Pilot

Hong Yizhou was in my plane just now

I have requested to lead

I'll take charge of this temporary flight

Find the foot support point first,

then the hand point

Captain

Can we get closer

to offer some help?

No, it's too dangerous to get that close to the mountains

The air flow from us will impact their safety

Dad

We can't get across

I'll be your foot support

No!

No way!

Dad, even if you support me

I may not reach that point

Today is the happiest day

since my retirement

As an old soldier,

if I could be some help...

Son...

Xiaojin is a good girl

Cherish her

Cherish your happiness

Why do you say this?

Dad, give me your hand!

Dad, give me your hand!

You come over here first

You come over, let's work out a way

Give me your hand

No time

Jump!

Son,

I can hold on

Do as I say

One

Two

Three

Dad!!!

Get ready to shoot

Go!

Ms. Ding?

Hold on, someone wants to talk to you

Stay there. The rescue team is coming

Stay where you are

Ms. Ding?

Ms. Ding?

Hong Yizhou

Answer the phone

Answer the phone

Hong Yizhou

Come over

Come over

Qi Lei, keep still

Now reporting

Cross wind

Cut the rope

No you can't

Hong Yizhou

Come over!

Ms. Ding, I order you to sit down

You come over here!

Ms. Ding!

Cut the rope

You come over now

Come over

Come back

Hong Yizhou

Ms. Ding?

Can you hear me?

Ms. Ding?

Can you hear me?

Xiaojin?

Yizhou?

Is that you? Yizhou?

It's me

I knew you'd be safe

I knew you would save everyone

Are you alright?

I'm fine

I'm with...

I'm with the kids

Don't worry about me

Protect yourself

Do you hear me?

Oh yes, today I bought

a duck and sour carrots

I think you'll like what I cook

Dad will love it too

Right?

What happened to Dad?

My dad

He said

you're a good girl

Hong Yizhou,

if we meet again,

I'll be with you forever

9:22 am Yundang Mountain Landslide Commences

27th January

Weather

Storms

I'm getting very deaf

The old fellows are getting together again

They want to go to the work site

I said forget about it

What's the point?

We're retired

We're no longer needed

It's high tech everywhere on the work site,

all beyond our knowledge

What's the point of showing up there?

But,

I would like to see my son

He's taking more and more

responsibilities

I'm concerned if he'll handle them well

He's still young

He needs pressure

Without being driven,

he won't do well

I'll just go secretly check on him

And hold my temper

The Old Soldier Never Dies The Mountain is Forever Green

Monument to the hero Hong Zanbing

Formed in 1948, the rail soldiers experienced the Civil War,

the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.

They took on major arterial projects of China's railway system,

as well as national infrastructure projects such as highways and airports.

On projects like the Chengdu-Kunming and Xiangyang-Chongqing Railways,

approximately one rail soldier died on every kilometer built.

On the hills where many tunnels exit lie the graves of fallen rail soldiers.

The Railway Corp had the highest casualty among all military units at peacetime.

On January 1, 1984, the Railway Corp was reformed,

transforming into the global industry enterprise known as

China Railway Construction Corporation

The people of China will always remember their name.
