The helmet was originally a fireman's helmet of the Republic of China

Grandpa collected waste products that year and accidentally received a “baby”. The family solved the puzzles and once carried the “baby” to verify but had no results.

A few days ago, an article was written in "Mysterious Copper Helmet?" The report on the topic attracted everyone's attention. The report described the collection of a copper helmet for Mr. Fu Dihao of Hulu Hongwei’s team. Due to its peculiar style, he caused various speculations from neighbours. Many people think that this is a wartime. Soldier's equipment.

So is this copper helmet really baptized? How long is it?

After the publication of the report, it triggered a lot of readers' hot discussion.

Li Yaoyun, director of the Museum of Cultural Heritage Identification at the City Museum, said that although he had never seen such a helmet, he was certainly an old object and should have a history of about 100 years.

“I once saw the Jiangqiao War Memorial in Tailai County, as if it was worn by Japanese soldiers at the time. Because Japanese people also use Chinese characters, it is normal to have traditional Chinese characters,” said one citizen.

On that day, apart from the soldier's "helmet theory," the most mentioned in the feedback was that the copper helmet was the fireman's helmet.

Readers Uncle Wang and Uncle Zhang both firmly stated that this is the helmet used by firefighters during the Republic of China.

Copper helmet evokes childhood memories

Uncle Zhang of the lakeside community is more than 70 years old this year. This helmet evokes the memory of his childhood. The old man said that when he was born in Tianjin, he was in his impression that where the fire broke out, the fire truck was screaming and everyone on the street and the car had to shun. After the fire was finished, the fire truck would issue it again. The jingle bell returned. At this time, firefighters standing on both sides of the car were wearing thick asbestos protective clothing. The helmet was worn on their heads. The gold sparkling was very strong.

The old man said with emotion: "I was still six or seven years old in the 40s and 50s of the last century. I feel that when the firefighters are particularly sacred and they are all working to save people, their strangeness is short and long afterwards. The style of helmet is also deeply imprinted in my mind."

The reader, Song Daye, lived in Daoli District of Harbin from childhood. According to him, the fire brigade at that time called a fire brigade. Firefighters called “sailors” and “dragons.” This copper helmet was worn, and many people were obliged to participate. The waterwheel is called the "water dragon". The wheels on both sides are made of iron bands. A lever is placed at the top of the car at the middle of the car. When the fire is fought, people on both sides struggle to keep pressing the "long bar" and it will spray water. . There is a bell hanging on the car. The faster the car goes, the louder and louder the ring, the pedestrian must avoid it, otherwise it is irresponsible to hit the person.

“The word “囍” means rushing to the disaster and the firefighter’s job is very dangerous. The word “Gee” is used to represent Geely. The people of that era were very particular about it. This copper helmet definitely recorded many moving stories. People should not forget it. "Uncle Wang of Longfeng said.

Instructor tells helmet history

To this end, the reporter also interviewed Liu Fengchun, the instructor of the Sanan Fire Brigade.

Instructor Liu said that from the point of view of the helmet's design characteristics, it should be the helmet worn during firefighting. It is calculated by age and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is "war on war."

Instructor Liu introduced that before the founding of New China, fire fighting helmets were made of brass. When a heavy object on the fire fell to the top of the head, the “crescent” in the middle of the helmet would push out heavy objects, remove the force, and grow large. "Tail" can prevent firefighters from being injured in the neck. This bronze helmet is very eye-catching at night, like a reflective strip on fireproof clothing. The copper helmet was sturdy, but because of its electrical conductivity, it was eliminated in the early 1950s.

"Although the copper helmet has withdrawn from the stage of firefighting history, it has made a lot of contributions for the firefighters," said Liu.
