Recently, a video adapted from a true story of firefighters saving girls touched many people. He is Yang Kezhang, political instructor of the Mingshan Squadron of the Yulin Fire Detachment in Guangxi. At that time, the smoke was too big, and Yang Kezhang hugged the 2-year-old girl and fell from the 5th floor when she moved, but did not open her arms. When his comrades found him, he opened his hand with force.
According to China Women's Daily, on May 29, 2015, Yang Kezhang, political instructor of the Mingshan Squadron of the Yulin Fire Brigade in Guangxi Province, received a task that the house was on fire and someone was trapped, and he and his comrades rushed to the scene of the fire. At this time, the fire burned fiercely on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors of the building.
The temporary wooden ladder in the building has been burned down, Yang Kezhang and 3 comrades formed a search and rescue team, they climbed along the fire ladder to the roof of the fire building floor by floor to search and rescue.
During the groping, it was found that there were 3 trapped people in a bathroom on the 5th floor, a woman sitting paralyzed on the ground, a 10-year-old boy vomiting violently due to inhaling smoke, and another little girl coughing constantly.
Smoke is pouring into the bathroom, and if you wait, the trapped people will be in danger of their lives. Yang Kezhang immediately wrapped the little girl in a fireproof suit and rushed out of the bathroom.
"Big sister, I saved your daughter out, you can rest assured", is the last sentence left by Yang Kezhang.
Just at the time of rescue, Yang Kezhang stepped on the 5th floor, and when he fell downstairs, he protected the little girl in his arms, due to the cushioning of Yang Kezhang's body, the little girl did not have any damage except for the head abrasion. However, Yang Kezhang was seriously injured and died at the age of 27.
"It took me some strength to open his hand." Yang Kezhang's comrade-in-arms Ou Ling said, "Falling from a high altitude to avoid danger is our regular training subject, as long as Yang Kezhang instinctively opens his arms and grasps the floor slab or steel bar when he falls, he can slow down the impact of the fall and adjust the landing posture, and it is very likely that he will survive."
But he did not open his arms, because he still held the little girl in his arms, and he used his flesh and blood as a protective cushion for the child.
Public information shows that Yang Kezhang has participated in more than 200 fire fighting and rescue battles since joining the army, and rescued and evacuated more than 160 trapped people. On June 1, 2015, the Ministry of Public Security approved Comrade Yang Kezhang as a revolutionary martyr and awarded a gold medal for dedication to national defense. On July 24, 2017, Yang Kezhang was named the candidate for the 6th National Model of Ethics of Deyao China. In November 2017, he was elected as the sixth national moral model (see Righteous Courage as a category). On March 1, 2018, Yang Kezhang was elected as the 2017 Person of the Year that moved China.
