Zhang Shangde: Doing public welfare will be "addictive"
Zhang Shangde, born in May 1959, is a member of the Communist Party of China and the chairman of jinhua DayanHe Grain Professional Cooperative.
Since the first free blood donation in 1999, Zhang Shangde's footsteps in public welfare have not stopped. Zhang Shangde has donated blood 58 times, with a total of 26,300 ml, and has won the National Blood Donation Gold Award and the Zhejiang Provincial River Cup of Unpaid Blood Donation for many times. On his 60th birthday, Zhang Shangde donated his last blood as a birthday gift to himself. He said that although he is older and can no longer donate blood, other public welfare can still be done.
After the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, Zhang Shangde had the idea of adopting an orphan in the disaster area. Through the mediation of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Zhang Shangde contacted the staff of the Sichuan Provincial Department of Civil Affairs and expressed his willingness to adopt, and the other party promised to notify him of a suitable candidate. "Maybe there are many enthusiastic people across the country helping children in the disaster areas, and I didn't receive a call back from them later." Zhang Shangde said.
In early 2017, Zhang Shangde unexpectedly received an adoption text message from China SOS Children's Village. At first, he thought it was a scam text message, but later confirmed that it was a non-profit organization for orphans in cooperation with the Chinese government and the international SOS Children's Village organization. Zhang Shangde immediately agreed to adoption and signed an adoption agreement. "The girl I adopted is in Nanchang, Jiangxi, and I will sponsor her until she graduates from college." Zhang Shangde said that he has always been concerned about his children's life and learning, and every year he has an opportunity to visit his children in Nanchang, and when necessary, he will write letters of encouragement to his children.
Zhang Shangde joined the Dayan River Public Welfare Organization in Jindong District, using his spare time as a volunteer to help the martyrs find their families and erect monuments to the unknown martyrs. In December last year, when Zhang Shangde was searching for the tombs of martyrs in Fucun, Tangya, Yuandong, Xiaoshun and other townships, he accidentally learned that there was a martyr's tomb in Tangya Town where five people were buried together. Four of the five martyrs were from other provinces and had no relatives to sacrifice. Zhang Shangde and volunteers worked together through many contacts and comparisons, and finally at the beginning of this year, Zhang Shanqing, a martyr whose tombstone reads "Originally from Taixiang District, Liyang County, Shandong Province", found his 76-year-old son. On the eve of the Qingming Dynasty, the son of martyr Zhang Shanqing came to Jinhua from Shandong with his family to visit his father's grave for the first time, and thanked jinhua's volunteers for helping him realize his dream that lasted for more than 70 years. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the party, Zhang Shangde also went to the site of the Battle of Guozhuang in Liaocheng City, Shandong Province, to erect a monument to the unknown martyrs and fund the construction of a heroic martyr's wall for future generations to remember. In recent years, Zhang Shangde's public welfare footprint has spread to 13 regions in 6 provinces such as Yunnan, Shandong and Liaoning, with a journey of 20,000 kilometers and a total of more than 200,000 yuan in personal donations.
Zhang Shangde said: "Doing public welfare will be 'addictive', but do good deeds, do not ask about the future. ”

Summer Finalists: Life and Death Speed staged in the rapids
Xia Siqiang, born in September 1978, is a villager of Gaoshantou Natural Village, Huangtang Village, Dongcheng Subdistrict, Yongkang City.
At the end of May this year, a rescue video was spread on the Internet: a woman in the river water floated and sank, her life was hanging on a line; on the bank of the river, two men, one after the other, ran wildly in the direction where the woman was drifting, the man in front of him ran while undressing, found the right time to jump into the rushing river, grabbed the woman who fell into the water, and then arrived at another man found a stick on the shore, and with the help of a grandfather, the three of them worked together to pull the woman who fell into the water, and the whole process took only 3 minutes.
This "speed of life and death" occurred on the riverside of Jiefang Bridge in Yongkang City, and the man who saved people was named Xia Siqiang. "I had just come out of the house that day to pick up a client when I heard someone shouting, 'Someone has fallen into the water.'" Xia Siqiang, who understands water, immediately came to the river and found a person floating in the river. "She's floating on the water, she's lost consciousness..." Xia Siqiang immediately ran downstream, ready to save people.
At that time, the river flow rate was particularly fast, familiar with the water nature of Xia Siqiang while running and undressing, after reaching a shore with a foothold, Xia Siqiang found that the river would wash the falling woman to a very close position on the shore, he knew that this might be the only chance, otherwise according to the flow rate of the river, the probability of the survival of the falling woman would be greatly reduced.
Xia Siqiang found the right time to rush directly into the river, did not expect that the water flow was fast and deep, and it was difficult for people to stand firm in the water. Xia Siqiang used his best strength to take the falling woman to the shore, at this time, the man who had just run on the shore with Xia Siqiang found a stick and handed it over, Xia Siqiang received it at the fastest speed, but the river flowed too fast, the man on the shore followed the river for four or five meters, and Xia Siqiang and the falling woman were only a little closer to the shore. A passing uncle saw the situation and immediately stepped forward to help, and in the end, Xia Siqiang and the three of them successfully rescued the woman who fell into the water.
After the woman was rescued, she was completely unconscious, Xia Siqiang quickly performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on her, fortunately, without pressing a few times, the woman who fell into the water spat out a lot of water, and gradually she could still speak, Xia Siqiang breathed a sigh of relief. After the police arrived at the police station, Xia Siqiang picked up the clothes on the shore and left.
Returning home wet, Xia Siqiang joked with his wife that he had fallen into the water. The wife later learned the truth and was scared enough. "Because it's the rainy season, the water flow is really big, and it's still a little dangerous to think about." Therefore, except for his wife, xia Siqiang did not say anything about saving people, until the rescue video spread on the Internet. In the face of praise from all sides, Xia Siqiang said that he had only done a small thing within his power. If he hadn't gone to save people at that time, his heart would have been too upset, and if he had to do it again, he would still have made the same choice.
