On November 13, Shundelun Jiaoxiashi Park
Zhao Zhilin is fishing with his young son in the lake
The child's cry for help suddenly rang out next to him
……
Zhao Zhilin recalled a scene 5 days ago
Still palpitating
In a hurry, he jumped into the water to save people
Zhao Zhilin is a bus driver at Foshan Xinxili Automobile Transport Co., Ltd. November 13 coincided with his day off, and Zhao Zhilin took his young son to play in the Kasumishi Park next to his home. According to his recounting, two children of similar age were chasing and fighting by the lake, and without paying attention, one of the little boys fell into the water and kept shouting for help.
Zhao Zhilin's wife (first from the right) relays the scene.
"When I heard the child shouting 'help', my heart pounded, and I only wanted to save people." Zhao Zhilin recalled the scene at that time, "There was no way to pull him back on the shore, so I stepped into the lake with one foot, thinking that I could stand directly on the stone pier below. Unexpectedly, the surface of the stone pier that has been soaked by the lake water for many years has long been covered with moss, although he has paid attention to the slow pace before falling into the water, Zhao Zhilin still accidentally fell into the water due to the slippery surface of the stone pier.
The rescued boy thanked Zhao Zhilin for paying tribute to the Young Pioneers.
"After entering the water, I realized that the water was so deep that I couldn't stand up at all." Zhao Zhilin is about 175 cm tall, and according to his description, the structure of the lake is "iron pot-shaped", with a deep middle and shallow on both sides. Fortunately, the child who fell into the water did not slide into the center of the lake, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. "After wading through the water, I remembered that I couldn't swim, and I was able to stand with the help of the water pipe laid next to the stone pier, so I quickly pulled the child to my side and then carried him to the shore."
After rescuing the person, he realized that his left hand was fractured
After he landed safely, Zhao Zhilin felt a sharp pain from his left hand. "I looked to my left hand, and the bones were crooked, and the fingernails of my tail finger were broken." It turned out that if he accidentally slipped on the shore and fell into the water, Zhao Zhilin first supported the ground with his left hand, resulting in a fracture.
The doctor recounted Zhao Zhilin's injuries.
After being rushed to Shunde Peace Surgical Hospital, Zhao Zhilin's left hand was diagnosed with a "fracture of the distal radius of the left and a fracture of the stem of the left ulna." Fortunately, the operation went smoothly, and after 3-4 months, the left hand can be used as usual, and daily life is not a big problem.
"I really can't express my gratitude in my heart, and I will remember his kindness of self-denial and courage for the rest of my life." The father of the rescued little boy brought a pennant of "Positive Energy Spirit to Save Lives and Help the Injured" and delivered it to Zhao Zhilin.com.
The father of the rescued boy presented a pennant in thanks.
Kudos to Master Zhao!
