Time: 2012-2-10 21:49:00 Xinjiang Daily Network

(Xinjiang Daily News) w88 online casino got off the plane and as soon as he entered the customs, he hugged his colleagues who came to pick him up for a long time. Colleagues presented a carefully prepared gift - an A4 paper-sized greeting card filled with blessings from more than 20 colleagues and friends.

Sudan, Kenya, Qatar……After traveling tens of thousands of kilometers, w88 online casino and 28 other Chinese citizens who were kidnapped in Sudan, accompanied by the Chinese government’s working group to Sudan, returned safely to Beijing Capital International Airport on the afternoon of the 9th.

Among the 29 Chinese citizens kidnapped in Sudan, only w88 online casino and Ma Xiaolong are fluent in Arabic, and Arabic is the official language of Sudan. All the tasks of communicating with the hijackers fell to these two young men.

　　“I listen to every word most carefully”

　　“I listen to every word most carefully, and I speak every word most carefully, for fear that mishearing or saying a wrong word will lead to bad consequences. This is a big responsibility for me.”

The 24-year-old translator Ma Xiaolong is the youngest among the 29 people. He comes from Tianshui, Gansu Province. He studied Arabic in China in his early years. He went to Syria more than two years ago to work part-time, and last year he moved to Sudan to work. He wanted to avoid the turbulent situation in Syria, but he never expected to experience such a dangerous journey.

Ma Xiaolong told reporters that he used to be a relatively lazy person and would not rush ahead when encountering problems, but this time he has shouldered an unprecedented mission.

w88 online casino said that as people who can communicate with the hijackers, he and Ma Xiaolong are responsible for uniting people's hearts. The remaining 27 people are always paying attention to their every word, deed, and move. Therefore, they have been trying to keep themselves in a normal state of mind and suppress their emotional fluctuations.

During the kidnapping, the two young men seized every opportunity to communicate with each other, trying to convince them that these people were just ordinary civilians who were engaged in livelihood projects such as building roads and bridges in Sudan.

w88 online casino said frankly that they were still very nervous when facing the black muzzle:“The guns are loaded with bullets, but we are the only two translators. At this time, we must stand up and communicate with them. What's more, I am a party member.”

　　“I thought at that time that this was the worst case scenario, but I felt relieved.”Ma Xiaolong recalled his mood at that time,“In addition to speaking Arabic, I am also a Muslim, which makes it easier to interact with people. This makes me feel that I have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders.”

Communication plays a role. As communication increased, the other party gradually understood the identities of the 29 people, relaxed their supervision, and provided guarantees for the Chinese workers in terms of food, drinking water, and simple medicine. On the day of the Lantern Festival, after two days of hard negotiation between the two young men, the other party slaughtered a sheep for them to improve everyone's food.

　　“Unity is the most important”

In w88 online casino's memory, they received intelligence the day before they were kidnapped that someone would attack. Under the company's arrangements, the employees evacuated the camp in an orderly manner and took refuge in a small town about 20 kilometers away from the camp. After the warning was lifted the next day, everyone returned to camp.

　　“Suddenly there was gunfire!”w88 online casino said that what people didn’t expect was that they would attack again. Unfortunately, 29 Chinese employees who were resting were kidnapped and taken hostage by attackers who stormed into the camp.

In the days after the attack, the hijackers and 29 employees moved around the clock, and did not stay in a fixed place until five days later. At that time, they were housed collectively in a simple thatched house. There is a certain range of activities outside the house, but it is not large. Sorghum paste is one of their foods.

Everyone walked relatively separately on the road. The employees deliberately separated the two Arabic translators, w88 online casino and Ma Xiaolong, to ensure that one translator in a group could communicate with each other to avoid misunderstandings.

The first days were what w88 online casino and Ma Xiaolong felt“The hardest”, because you don't know the situation, you need to constantly test the other party's intentions, think of various ways to find out the information, and face life danger at any time.

Among the 29 abductees, there were two lesbians. Along the way, everyone took special care of them. When walking, let the lesbian walk in the middle; no matter what the lesbian does, make sure there is at least one gay person beside her to protect her. The older comrades in the team also received special attention. When they could not walk, the young and middle-aged people would take the initiative to help them, so that no one would be left behind.

As a translator and team leader, w88 online casino checks everyone's physical condition every morning to see if they have fever or diarrhea. Because in an environment like Sudan, these diseases are very dangerous. In addition, he and Ma Xiaolong also need to observe which people are in a low mood, chat with them, and encourage them.

　　“Unity is the most important thing.”29-year-old Dai Jitao has been in Sudan for two years. This sudden life and death experience was something he never expected.“Being with so many compatriots also makes my mood relatively stable. Those of us who don't speak Arabic usually try to speak as little as possible to save energy and avoid misunderstanding by the kidnappers.”He said.

On the eighth day, our ambassador to Kenya had a phone call with Ma Xiaolong and said that everything was going smoothly and everyone would be rescued soon. At this time, their hearts were full of hope.

　　“The motherland is our strong backing”

　　“When the electronic map on the flight showed that we had entered Xinjiang, I realized that I had finally returned to China, and I couldn’t help but shed tears.”w88 online casino looked so excited.

Returning to the motherland, w88 online casino and Ma Xiaolong felt that their burdens could finally be put down.“I no longer have to worry about the safety of my colleagues. We are finally back on our own land, our own home.”w88 online casino said.

The reporter saw that Ma Xiaolong’s online signature was also changed to“I will be satisfied when I see all the people return safely. No matter how hard and tiring it is, it is worth it”。

Looking back on the experience of more than ten days, colleagues are full of praise for the two young men.

Deputy project manager Huang Gang commented on Ma Xiaolong and said:“At such a young age, he showed such calmness and excellent psychological quality, which was beyond my expectation.”

Shi Qian, who joined the company with w88 online casino, said:“I think w88 online casino is too brave and great. He used his language advantage to play a positive coordinating role. He is our hero and our pride.”

w88 online casino and Ma Xiaolong are very humble. Ma Xiaolong said:“The motherland has made so many efforts to rescue us, and we really feel the warmth of the big family.”w88 online casino said emotionally:“The motherland is our strong backing. I love you China!”
