home in the Yellow River north, the school in yellow Henan. During the demolition of a floating bridge every year, a large number of teenage students bypass the 20 kilometre Road, cycling back and forth every day. Inconvenient is the second, and more importantly, because the road is far away, the children face serious security threats on the way.
parents have asked whether they can consider opening regular ferry boats or setting up school buses for their children.
the floating bridge was demolished and moved around 20 km
in June 19th. To meet the flood season, the the Yellow River Kou Kou floating bridge was demolished.
Ms. Wang lives in the Yellow River's north shore Kou Kou Street office magpie hill west village, her child Xiao Liang (alias) reads junior high school. Like the surrounding children of the same age, according to the rules of "fixed school", Xiao Liang's school is the Affiliated School of the Ji'nan teacher's Day bridge in the South Bank of the Yellow River.
weekdays, Xiaoliang is riding a bike to school, from magpie mountain village to the school through the mouth bridge, about 4 kilometers. However, once the mouth bridge is removed, Xiaoliang either detours the Ji'nan the Yellow River bridge to the East, or goes West to Ji'nan Jian bang the Yellow River bridge. One way distance will reach more than 20 kilometers.
Ms. Wang told reporters that the pontoon bridge often has a big car passing through, will always be pressed up and down, usually two times a day children ride bikes, they have been more worried in the heart. But from the beginning of 19, this worry has become an extravagant hope. When they were demolished, they could only bypass the farther and more dangerous Jian Bang bridge or the Yellow River bridge.
a reporter who interviewed 200 students
at the designated point of study, learned that this problem is much more than just a small bright person.
19 days, the parents of the students told reporters that the children of the village in the first, two, and three districts of the West Village of magpie mountain, and the children of the surrounding village of Meihua Mountain, Wangjia Town, crescent dam and other villages, once entered junior high school, all need to go to the Ji'nan teacher's Tianqiao affiliated school each other across the river, and cross the Yellow River every day. The way for the children to go.
according to the parents, there are 5 classes in the first grade of the school, of which nearly two students come from the surrounding area of Magi mountain village. According to this calculation, the total number of students crossing the river in three grades of junior middle schools may reach 200.
Mr. Wang, the parent of the students, told reporters that three periods of the pontoon bridge may be dismantled every year: before the arrival of the June flood season, the floating bridge was dismantled to adjust water and sediment; the autumn rainy season arrived and the water level in the Yellow River rose obviously; when the the Yellow River was frozen in winter. Among them, only the water diversion and sand regulation in June, the removal time of the mouth bridge will last for half a month to 20 days.
every year during this period, relatives in the South Bank of the Yellow River join relatives and friends, and more children can only bypass.
Mr. Wang made a special calculation. The total mileage of the the Yellow River bridge from the West Village of magpie mountain to the the Yellow River bridge was more than 20 kilometers. The number of miles around the construction of the bridge was quite different.
cycling this distance is no doubt a challenge for teenage children, two times a day, but they have no other choice. For the parents who work and work for a part-time job, it is not every family can do it every day, and the school does not provide accommodation.
tired point is not afraid of children's safety and the most anxious
for parents, the way is the next, the most worried about them is the child's safety.
a parent told a reporter that in the days of the demolition of the bridge, the the Yellow River bridge has increased a lot of traffic, and the chances of an accident have increased several times. At present, the the Yellow River bridge does not set up non motorized driveways, and bicycles, motorcycles and cars rush together, and there are many large trucks that roar past. Although the speed limit of the the Yellow River bridge is 50 kilometers, it is too fast for children riding bicycles.
last winter, the bridge was dismantled by ice in the Yellow River. Mr. Li's child rides his bike home every day. His hands are frozen every night for a long time.
for the distance of 20 kilometers one way after the detour, Mr. Li would like to say, "there is nothing far away, the child is tired, but it is too dangerous." Although they are told every day, children of this age group are more rebellious and less secure. Every time he was dismantled, his heart was very tight.
parents suggest opening a school bus or ferry
"this must be done in advance, in case any child will be late"; "it is really too dangerous, and the children of whose family are sure to worry about it."
parents are deeply worried about the safety of their children. But the way they solve problems is very limited. Some parents say, as ordinary people, they only know that things and flood prevention in the Yellow River are unquestionable events, and they can't think of more ways to worry about the children.
and some parents think that children usually leave the summer vacation at the beginning of July, and the time of the demolition of the pontoon bridge is usually at the end of the June final exam, some parents suggest, "can we postpone more than ten days, wait for the summer vacation to be removed again?" Compared with
, the other two viewpoints put forward by parents are more realistic. Some parents suggested that they could ask relevant departments to provide a school bus for these children. They would rather pay money, at least to protect their children's safety. Parents also suggested that during the demolition of the floating bridge, hoping to open a formal ferry.
