1 1968年,十七岁的包起帆中学毕业,被分配到上海港木材装卸公司,成为白莲泾码头上的一名木材装卸工人。2木材装卸是累活、重活,更是危险活。一根原木轻则几吨,重则二三十吨,全靠工人下船舱,用钢丝绳捆扎后,再用吊机起吊,稍有不慎就会发生伤亡事故。大家畏惧地把原木称作“木老虎”。在包起帆进港后的十余年时间里,“木老虎”吞噬了十四名装卸工的生命。 1 In 1968, 17-year-old Bao Qifan graduated from high school and was assigned to Shanghai Port Timber Handling Company as a timber loader on the pier in Bailianjing. 2 timber handling is tired live, heavy life, it is dangerous to live. A few liters of light logs, heavy, twenty or thirty tons, thanks to the workers off the cabin, tied with wire rope, and then lifting crane, a slight accidental deaths and injuries will occur. We dreamed of the logs as “wood tiger”. In the more than ten years since the launch of the sail into the port, “Wood Tiger” has devoured the lives of 14 handlers.
