The old man was struck by lightning, and the old man was struck by lightning

At around 4:10 a.m. on October 3, the upper part of the well-known natural landscape "Stone Old Man" in Qingdao suddenly broke and collapsed, and after being confirmed by the relevant staff of the Qingdao Marine Development Bureau, a blockade line was arranged on the road to which it went, and it was temporarily closed from 9:50 a.m.

The 17-meter-tall stone old man is now missing the upper half of his body, the head and arms of the old man are gone, and the new stone stubble that has appeared after the fracture can be seen. After an on-site investigation by experts, it is speculated that the effects of recent weather, as well as long-term weathering and erosion, caused the natural collapse. The relevant units said that temporary protection measures have been taken for the stone elderly, and the restoration plan is being discussed, hoping to be restored and reappear on the sea surface.

Because it coincided with the National Day holiday, and many locals said that Old Man Shi's head was cut off by lightning, there was a loud lightning and thunder on the night of the 2nd, and some people thought it was a "bad omen".

Although outsiders may not know the existence of the old man Shi, in the minds of Qingdao people, it symbolizes a touching and beautiful legend, which is the story of an old man waiting for his daughter's return. Now that the stone old man has partially collapsed, whether the name of the place there will be changed is a question that some people wonder. After thousands of generations, the stone old man who has survived countless violent climates was destroyed in this thunderstorm, which makes people think that it is not a good omen if it is someone who has crossed the catastrophe, and that it is unlucky.

Now, in an eventful season, whether this is a natural collapse or a warning from heaven, all we can do is to do more good deeds and make our lives as a real "good person".

The scientific name of the stone man is "sea stack", which is a headland that juts out into the sea, and is left behind by the long erosion of the sea. In Qingdao's long coastline, only this section of the rock is unique and made of volcanic rocks, so it can form such a rugged towering column.

This section of the volcanic rock coastline, including the old man, has a total of 8 sea stacks or sea erosion mushrooms, which are very rare in Qingdao and even the entire Shandong coast, which is a unique geographical condition.

However, the sea water has created "sea stacks" over the long years, and it is also wearing away. The weathering and sea erosion problems of the old man have been evident for a long time.

The old man of the stone belongs to the famous landscape, in recent years it is more famous, it is not an exaggeration to say that the importance of the old man of the stone to Qingdao tourism, no less than the importance of the welcome pine to the Yellow Mountain.

But compared to Huangshan's emphasis on welcoming pines, Qingdao is obviously a little absent-minded.

In the more than 30 years from 1990 to today, Qingdao has only conducted two physical examinations on the old man, and the more formal and scientific physical examination took place in 2011, when 85 million data points were obtained using 3D laser scanning for precise physical examinations. The physical examination report at that time mentioned that the old man Shi had "serious weathering cracks, broken rock mass, and a strong weathering state", and his head was in a "relatively broken" state.

The physical examination report also pointed out that the stone old man's sea stack should not only strengthen protection, but also it is extremely necessary to carry out "surgery" to eliminate risks.

11 years have passed, and the "operation" has not been carried out because it is not known who is in charge.

Eleven years ago, during the physical examination, the territorial Oceanic and Fisheries Bureau exercised jurisdiction over Shi Lao, but after the institutional reform, the bureau was abolished, and the original functions were merged into the Natural Resources Bureau and the Agricultural Bureau. And the "no climbing" warning sign set up next to the old man is the local street office and a competent department.

In the ** report in June this year, it was also mentioned that when the tide was high, the old man was in the sea; After the tide falls, the old man is on land, and it is still an embarrassing question who should manage it.

However, under the questioning of **, the final implementation of the management department is the Qingdao Municipal Garden and Forestry Bureau.

On June 1, 2022, the Qingdao Municipal Garden and Forestry Bureau told ** that it would go to the site to conduct on-site investigation and research on the weathering and management of the stone elderly.

Four months later, Old Man Shi was struck by lightning.

All we can do is to do more good deeds and make our lives a real "good person".

There is no warning that the old man was struck by lightning, that is, there should be a conductor near the old man Shi, and the lightning was drawn over, which was purely accidental!

During the National Day holiday, Qingdao's well-known natural landscape "Stone Old Man" broke and collapsed in the early morning of the 3rd, because many people heard the lightning and thunder accompanied by loud noises in advance, and it coincided with the National Day holiday, so many people felt that this was an unlucky "bad omen".

The ruthless dragon king did not give up the punishment of his daughter, and also cast his magic to turn the old man's daughter into a reef, standing alone on the island, facing the old father's reef. Later, people called this reef "Daughter Reef".
