At this moment, Qianchuan and we are in Lushan — Collaboration

　　On the morning of April 24th, as the sky was just brightening, the earthquake relief command center of Qianchuan Wooden Doors next to the county hospital in the new district of Lushan County was boiling pots of porridge, steam rising. At this moment, a burly man from Xinjiang walked straight over, and a Qianchuan Wooden Doors employee served him a bowl.

　　From his figure and appearance, the chief commander Wu Ping at the command center found this person somewhat familiar but couldn't immediately identify who he was. He eagerly inquired about the current situation in the disaster area, asking which places were the most severely affected and where material aid was most needed.

　　Mr. Wu told him that the worst-hit areas with the most difficult transportation were Chun Guang Village in Taiping Town and Weita Village in Shuangshi Town. These two villages are deep in the mountains, and due to the high terrain and roads frequently blocked by falling rocks, they rarely receive supplies except for those distributed by the government. Surrounding areas of Lushan County have somewhat easier transportation, and the supplies brought by the government and volunteers have basically met local needs, but it was unknown whether support teams had entered those remote places.

　　After hearing this, he immediately perked up and said he was Alimu. Only then did everyone realize who he was. It turned out he was Alimu—one of the Top Ten Most Touching Figures in China in 2011, also known as a Xinjiang uncle who grills lamb skewers.

　　He had brought two truckloads of goods totaling more than 30 tons, including instant noodles, eight-treasure porridge, mineral water, carrots, and 2,000 steamed buns. He said, "I want to distribute the supplies to those who need them most."

　　Mr. Wu was deeply moved by his sincerity and immediately felt that the hard work and dedication of the Qianchuan Wooden Doors earthquake relief team over the past few days were worthwhile because so many people needed help. They quickly formed a task force to guide Alimu and assist him in delivering the supplies to the disaster victims.

　　After 9 o'clock, Ren Baizhou organized everyone to load part of the goods onto Qianchuan Wooden Doors vehicles and set off towards the distant villages. The convoy struggled along the rugged mountain roads, with obstacles, stones, and branches blocking the way at every turn. Qianchuan employees cleared the path as they went. Suddenly, on a winding mountain road, the large truck got stuck and could not move forward.

　　Everyone was very anxious; there were still 30 kilometers to the destination, and being stuck here would block the vital passage for villagers leaving the mountain and rescue teams entering. At this moment, Qianchuan Wooden Doors employees decided to first use company vehicles to transport some supplies in, then ask villagers to bring out small trucks to meet them. Everyone agreed with this plan.

　　Along the way, Qianchuan employees distributed supplies to some villagers and notified the villagers to drive out to pick up the goods. One hour later, villagers from Chun Guang Village, Weita Village, and four other villages arrived one after another driving small trucks. Qianchuan Wooden Doors employees and volunteers distributed the goods to the vehicles from each village.

　　After distributing the supplies, Ren Baizhou led the group into the severely affected Chun Guang Village. Mr. Ren said, "It would be great if they could have a bowl of porridge cooked by Qianchuan." So Alimu decided to cook a meal of pilaf for the villagers.

　　Everyone washed rice, cleaned and cut vegetables together. Local residents also brought a few chickens. Qianchuan Wooden Doors employees carried bricks, built stoves, and gathered firewood from the mountain, busy and cheerful. Alimu personally took charge of cooking. Two hours later, a fragrant meal was ready.

　　As night approached and everyone prepared to leave, the villagers of Chun Guang repeatedly expressed their gratitude to Alimu and the Qianchuan employees, escorting them to the village entrance and seeing them off. Alimu was extremely thankful for Qianchuan Wooden Doors' help and admired their frontline participation in earthquake relief over these days.
