课文朗读
23秒内,地处中国华北的唐山发生了震级为里氏7.8级的大地震,23秒内,造成24万多人死亡,83万多人受伤;23秒内,让7千多个家庭绝户,上万家庭解体,4千多人成为孤儿;23秒内,97%的地面建筑、55%的生产设备毁坏;23秒内,交通、供水、供电、通讯全部中断;23秒内,直接经济损失人民币30亿元;23秒内,一座拥有百万人口的工业城市被夷为平地。
唐山大地震
它发生在现代中国重大转折的1976年。它不仅造成的伤亡3倍于汶川地震,更发生在京津唐这样的中国政治中心地带。当年周恩来、朱德、毛泽东三位伟人相继去世,“四人帮”又企图篡党夺权。甚至在巨大的灾难面前,他们仍然坚持政治斗争为纲,极大地影响了受灾工作的开展。这一切使人民群众和有远见的高层领导彻底认清了“四人帮”的罪恶阴谋,并最终采取断然措施结束“文化大革命”。可以说,唐山地震是粉碎“四人帮”、结束文革动乱的催化剂。其历史意义远不仅仅在于灾难本身。
