中國時報【張伊珊、呂妍庭╱嘉縣報導】
嘉義縣遭逢823水災,已泡在水裡3天的東石鄉西崙村高姓喪家,不僅水淹靈堂,還因水患進退無路,已蓋棺卻無法出殯,不得已向外求援,卻因民間禁忌處處碰壁。25日好不容易在嘉縣水上救生協會協助下,一行人步行8公里將親人棺木涉水運出,但家屬仍因水患無法送亡者最後一程,亡者妻子遠遠望著丈夫棺木在水協人員護送下離去,無奈與悲傷全寫在臉上。
告別式辦不成 無法出殯
亡者妻子說,原本已選定24日即農曆7月14日出殯,卻因突如其來的水患,導致告別式辦不成,因丈夫遺體已按規畫放進棺木,原本想等水退了,再將遺體送到殯儀館暫厝,但昨天氣轉晴,擔心遺體不耐久放,焦急的家屬透過葬儀社輾轉尋求幫忙,到處商請出動大卡車或貨車幫忙運棺,但昨聯絡長達3小時,都沒有任何人願意伸出援手,就連東石鄉公所也以目前以發送物資及救災為重捥拒。
最後好不容易接洽到水協,水協理事長呂文正說,當時得知家屬有這項需求時,他二話不說就答應,昨送完物資後,便與3名隊員共4人,步行涉水約4公里前往喪家,經向死者焚香參拜並與家屬溝後,決定將棺木包覆帆布防水放在輪架上,再涉水護送靈柩走出淹水區,交給喪儀社載往火葬場停棺室。
錯過最後一程 家屬遺憾
協助運棺這一路來回就走了8公里,但呂文正一行人不覺得苦,也毫無忌諱,指這是他第一次協助運送棺木,加上最深水深及腰,「很有挑戰性,卻是很有意義的任務」,護送過程中他心中默念,願亡者一路好走,只是亡者家屬就連送往者最後一程都無法陪伴,恐成心中最大的遺憾。
此次水患,東石鄉全鄉23個村庄無一倖免全被淹,直到25日仍有6個村落未脫水患之苦,東崙、西崙、掌潭等4村落聯外道路全被水漫過,災民寸步難行,掌潭村甚至因水位愈來愈高,在其他村落居民陸續返家時,全村百餘戶昨下午被迫撤離,居民只能無語問蒼天,無奈問水患的恐懼何時才能遠離?

Zhang Yishan, Lu Yiting, Jiajia County Report
August 25, 2018



China Times [Zhang Yishan, Lu Yiting, Jiajia County Report]
Chiayi County suffered from 823 floods. It was soaked in the water for three days. The high surname of Xilun Village in Dongshi Township was not only flooded, but also because the floods had no way to go, but they could not go out because of the floods. Taboos hit the wall everywhere. On the 25th, with the assistance of Jiaxian Water Lifesaving Association, a group of people walked 8 kilometers to transport their relatives and trees, but the family members were still unable to send the dead because of the flood. The wife of the deceased looked far away from her husband. Going away, helplessness and sorrow are all written on the face.
Farewell can't be done
The wife of the deceased said that he had already chosen the 24th lunar calendar on July 14th, but because of the sudden flood, the farewell could not be done. Because the husband’s body had been put into the coffin according to the plan, he wanted to wait for the water to retreat. I sent it to the funeral parlour for a while, but it turned fine yesterday. I was worried that the body was not durable. The anxious family members turned to help through the funeral society. They asked for a big truck or truck to help them. But the contact lasted for 3 hours. Anyone is willing to lend a helping hand, and even the Dongshi Township Office has refused to send materials and disaster relief.
In the end, it was difficult to get in touch with the Water Association. Lv Wenzheng, chairman of the Water Association, said that when he learned that his family had this demand, he promised without saying anything. After delivering the supplies yesterday, he and four members of the team had four people walking. After about 4 kilometers of water, I went to the funeral home. After burning the incense to the deceased and digging with the family, I decided to put the eucalyptus covered canvas on the wheel frame, and then waded the water to send the coffin out of the flooded area and hand it over to the funeral home. Parking room.
Missing the last trip family regret
Assisting Yun Yun to go back and forth for 8 kilometers, but Lu Wenzheng did not feel bitter and unscrupulous, saying that this was his first time to help transport coffins, plus the deepest water and waist, "very challenging, However, it is a very meaningful task. In the process of escort, he mourned in his heart. He wished the deceased to go all the way. Only the family members of the deceased could not accompany the last journey. It was the biggest regret in the heart.
In the flood, the 23 villages in Dongshi Township were all spared from flooding. Until the 25th, there were still 6 villages that were not dehydrated. The four villages in Donglun, Xilun and Palman were all flooded. However, the victims were unable to move, and the village was even higher due to the higher water level. When other village residents returned home, more than 100 households in the village were forced to evacuate yesterday afternoon. The residents could only ask the sky without a word, but when asked about the fear of flooding. keep away?
