The following is a dialogue between the Beijing News reporter and Liu Jinmeng.：
“Rescue is current，There's no time to be afraid.”
The Beijing News：When did you get the notice to rush through the road?？
Liu Jinmeng：The earthquake that occurred at 12:52 p.m.，In about 40 minutes.，We got a call.，Landslide near the epicenter of the Luding earthquake，The road is blocked，We need to send someone to the front to clear the road.，Make sure the Vehicle is moving。
I signed up in the Wechat group.，After that, I immediately packed some clothes and a sleeping bag.。Before I left, I told my family that I was going to rescue.，They told me to be careful.，I think it's a great honor for me to be able to do something.。
Around 2:00 p.m. that day.，Yajiang Highway Branch sent a car to pick me up from home.SProvincial Highway 434，It is also the only road from Moxi Town to Hailuogou Scenic Area, the epicenter of the earthquake.。It was a bumpy ride to the choke point.，Aftershocks continue，Many houses collapsed on both sides of the road.，I can't see the whole appearance before.，The damage was particularly severe.。
The Beijing News：What time will you arrive?？What was the situation at the scene?？
Liu Jinmeng：We arrived at the scene at 5 o'clock that afternoon.。The landslide is very serious，The roads are covered.，It looks like there's no road.，Become one with the mountain.。

The Beijing News：What are the difficulties in the excavation process?？
Liu Jinmeng：Because it's digging on a cliff.，The road below is too narrow.，Not enough space to carry the excavator，Adjust the position of the excavator in time while digging。In addition, the landslide mass is almost perpendicular to the road surface.，There are flying rocks falling from it at any time.，Sometimes there are small collapses.。
Actually, there used to be a roadbed there.，However, due to landslides,，The roadside guardrail has been destroyed by falling rocks.，The roadbed has also cracked a little.，During the excavation operation, the roadbed was suddenly damaged and a gap appeared.。So the first thing we need to do，Is to fill the roadbed and then continue to rush through.，Otherwise, it's not safe.。
The Beijing News：What should you do if you have an aftershock when you are working?？Were you scared?？
Liu Jinmeng：Aftershocks all the time.，But it is always bumpy when operating in the cab.，I can't feel it.。The safety officer at the foot of the mountain can feel it.。Every time there is an aftershock,，The security will remind us to pay attention to safety through the intercom.，Or direct us to retreat immediately.。The way I see it，The safety officer's job is much more dangerous than ours.，From time to time, they will brush past the falling rocks.。But the rescue is now，There's no time to be afraid.，Just want to get through the road as soon as possible.。
“Nothing, really，That's what we should do.”
The Beijing News：Will you continue your homework after dark?？
Liu Jinmeng：Every day after dark.，We'll stop digging.，Assist in the management of traffic in the vicinity of the excavation site。Because lighting conditions are not ideal，There is a collapse when passing by.、The area of rockfall will be more dangerous.。In general，We are on guard duty near the excavation site.，Do not allow Vehicles to pass.，Wait until there is no traffic at night.，After placing the signboard, you can go back to the temporary headquarters to rest.。Before digging the next morning.，First clean up the rubble that falls at night.，Keep the road clear。
The Beijing News：When was the road cleared?？
Liu Jinmeng：On the morning of September sixth，SThe 434 provincial road was almost dug through.，After that, we went to the nearby villages and towns to clear the roads.。The rescue work is still being done.。A few days ago, we got up at 4:30 every morning to do our homework.，Now I can sleep until 7 am.。The work content is still the same.，Day work，Finish digging at night when it gets dark.，Take a rest after being on duty for a while.。
The Beijing News：I have been working continuously these days.，You must be very tired.？
Liu Jinmeng：Everyone is very hard these days.。What can I say？Except for me at the construction site.，There is also a female master.，He drives a loader.，We live together.。She told me.，One second, I told her I was going to sleep.，The next thing I know, I'm snoring.。
In the construction site，We always have no concept of time.，Only quick rescue。The branch office will send someone to deliver the box lunch to the construction site.，Eating is also a short break.，And then go back to work.。After all, there was a large-scale earthquake.，We are again“Highway man”，Can use their own expertise to contribute a little to earthquake relief.，It's what we should do.。
The Beijing News：Why did you choose to drive an excavator?，Does your family support you?？

My family also supports me very much.，My husband said that I am a person with great love.，He often tells me to pay attention to safety.。He knows I'm busy.，Seldom call me.，It's all messages and messages.，I seldom reply to him.。But whenever I have time,，I'll call back the video phone.。Our daughter is 8 years old.，Always say outside.“My mother drives an excavator.”，Every time he said he was very proud.，I feel warm in my heart.。
The Beijing News：Some netizens praised you for not being inferior to men.，What do you think？
Liu Jinmeng：There are actually a lot of female excavators.，It's just that I'm the only one in this section of the road.。I think it's really nothing.，There are many female comrades from all walks of life in this earthquake relief.，They deserve more attention.。
