, the film "Wanli Homeward Journey" was released
. The film was adapted from the Libyan evacuation incident.
It truly shows the danger of the outbreak of war and
the difficulties and dangers
faced on the way to evacuate overseas Chinese. SRC = "https://img7.ccement.com/richtext/img/499hh26ome41665547071826. The residences are located in six new districts of the province and employ more than 1,000 Chinese workers.".
, war broke out." On the evening of
February 21, it was raining heavily and the wind was biting. Yang Guowen, the chief Arabic translator of the project department, had just finished talking on the phone in China when his cell phone rang again, and the guard's almost roaring voice came from the receiver: "Run!.." Everyone grabbed their cell phones, wallets, laptops and other personal belongings and ran to the local subcontractor's station 200 meters away. Before they had gone far, they heard the sound of broken glass behind them.
found the team, they were panting and their clothes and shoes were already wet. Originally, Xiaohu did not hear the evacuation instructions in his panic. Tears of gratitude welled up in her eyes when she knew that everyone was risking their lives to find herself at the critical moment.
Dozens of Chinese employees, holding wooden sticks prepared in advance, stood on both sides of the gate and under the wall, with a guard every three or five meters to prevent people from climbing in from the wall. The
two sides were so deadlocked that everyone's heart was in their throat. At about 11 p.m., the noise outside was dying down, and suddenly someone shouted, "You're safe, come out." Yang Guowen and
I repeatedly confirmed that after walking out of the station, we saw dozens of local tribal elders and villagers, who also had guns and sticks in their hands.
Originally, when the Chinese employees were evacuated to the subcontractor's station, the Libyan security guards and drivers of the project department immediately went to the tribe for help, and the elders took the villagers to disperse the rioters after hearing about it. "The rebels will come at any time," the elder said. "We can only protect you here for one night. You must leave immediately."
On February 23, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued a directive to evacuate all Chinese personnel stationed in Libya. The embassy immediately divided the areas of Chinese-funded companies in Libya, and all personnel were evacuated in four areas, namely, east, south, west and north. Gezhouba Group was appointed as the general lead unit for the evacuation of the western region, assisting more than 12000 people from 11 Chinese-funded companies in the western region to evacuate from the Tunisian border. It is undoubtedly a great responsibility
to act as the general leading unit of the Western District! The most worrying thing is that the originally planned evacuation route has become impassable because some places have been reduced to war zones, cities are under martial law everywhere, and the main evacuation routes are under military control? Where to go? Yang Guowen and
I chartered a taxi at a high price to explore the way. Badar, Jiao Shi, Jimili, Zuwara..
Yang Guowen repeatedly explained to the militia captain in Arabic: "We are all Chinese. We are here to help you build houses. Our project is in Nanut Province. He is the head of our company.." As he spoke, he showed them the project photos taken by his mobile phone and explained them repeatedly for about 15 minutes. The militia captain carefully checked the passport before releasing us. What's
up ahead? Is this road still safe? After several twists and turns
along the way, they all saved the day and finally arrived at the border between Libya and Tunisia to find out the security situation on the western front. It took us nearly 12 hours to make a round trip of more than 400 kilometers, and it was 8 P. M. when we returned to the station. We immediately reported the situation to the embassy and informed the Chinese enterprises to evacuate early the next morning.
After repeated negotiations, the Customs finally agreed to grant passport-free release as long as the Chinese Embassy in Libya issued relevant certificates. However, a curfew is imposed after 6 p.m. in Tripoli. It is very dangerous to go out at night. Who would like to go to the embassy to retrieve the certificate and send it to the airport? The streets were deserted that night, and the howling wind added to the tension.
The embassy is not far from the office of the project department. Sun Shilin got the letter from the embassy smoothly, but the way to the airport was very dangerous. Along the way, he encountered armed robberies by gangsters many times. Fortunately, the driver was skilled in driving and familiar with the route. Sometimes he sped through the interception point, and sometimes he immediately made a detour when he found someone intercepting him. Finally, he delivered the letter to the airport smoothly.
In this way, the first charter flight took off from Tripoli on time.

Successful Evacuation
In the early morning of February 24, the Libyan Project Department of China Gezhouba Group organized the first batch of more than 3,000 people to ride on a flatbed truck modified from a concrete engineering vehicle and set out along our "lifeline".
time went by, more and more compatriots were stranded at the border, and the scene became more and more chaotic. By the evening of the 25th, the number of compatriots stranded at the border had reached 550. Cold, hunger and sleepiness attacked everyone, anxiety spread rapidly, some people began to cry and call home to explain the funeral, close to the brink of collapse, the evacuation team was in danger of losing control at any time.
With my passport in hand, I could have withdrawn to Tunisia, but looking around, my compatriots were still in trouble. I made up my mind: "Since we want to withdraw, we must not leave one behind. We must not disgrace our mission and return home safely!"!
In order to handle customs clearance procedures, the project department organized a capable team to carry out the work. In front of the guns of the border guards and the guns of the tanks, we shuttled back and forth between the embassy and various Chinese-funded companies on the border between Libya and Tunisia, and transmitted the latest instructions and evacuation information to the heads of various units in a timely manner. In the end, there were no internal riots or attacks on the border, and all the stranded personnel crossed the border safely, thus ensuring the stability of the team. The leader of the national working group
responsible for the evacuation sincerely praised: "The organization and management of China Gezhouba Group is in place, and it really played the role of the backbone of the central enterprises in this evacuation!"! ccement.com/richtext/img/6z0idv8xyv71665547223199.png">
After 11 days and nights of continuous struggle, China Gezhouba Group, under the correct leadership and unified deployment of the Party Central Committee, the State Council and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, Quick response, urgent action and active organization, all responsible personnel were safely withdrawn to the motherland, and foreign employees were properly placed. After
a long journey, more than 12000 Chinese employees returned to the embrace of the motherland safely along the lifeline.
