At 3 p.m. on December 4, an elderly man in Chongqing's Liangjiang New Area walked out of his home alone and lost track of himself in the woods behind his house.
At 1 p.m. on December 10, after 7 days and 6 nights of searching, the Blue Sky Rescue Team of Liangjiang New Area successfully found the old man, at this time, she was creeping in the inaccessible dense forest in the back mountain, dying.
"Trouble you to save my old man, I have been missing for a day and a night!" On December 5, the telephone of the Coordination Center of the Chongqing Blue Sky Rescue Team rang suddenly, and a woman asked for help, saying that the elderly in the family had gone missing on the hillside behind their house in Liangjiang, Liangjiang New District.

The old man, Pan Jinhua (pseudonym), is 86 years old and suffers from Alzheimer's disease. After the rescue team grasps the basic characteristics of the elderly, it immediately organizes search and rescue personnel and search and rescue equipment.
Because liangjiang famous residence is located at the junction of Caijia and Beibei, surrounded by dense forests in mountainous areas, there are many demolition areas, there are relatively few indigenous people, and the search and rescue scope is wide and large, which brings great difficulties to the search and rescue work.

After receiving the request for help, the Blue Sky Rescue Team of Liangjiang New Area cooperated with the police for the first time to check the surrounding monitoring one by one, and looked for the traces of the elderly through door-to-door inquiry.
On December 7, the day after the search and rescue, rescue team members, with the help of the local police station and search and rescue police dogs, conducted a dragnet inspection in the surrounding ponds and grasses, in order to improve the scope of search and rescue, they also used drones to conduct high-altitude visual searches, and still did not find any trace of the elderly.
"It's been 3 days, the weather is so cold, the old man is old, is there any hope of survival?" The family asked worriedly.
Rescue Captain Rong Tenghong also had no bottom in his heart. On the evening of December 7, the rescue team met overnight, and some people proposed that if a drone with thermal imaging function was used to conduct a large-scale naked search and inspection, the efficiency of rescue work could be greatly improved. In the next two days, more than 60 rescuers cooperated with the thermal imaging drone to conduct a dragnet inspection and searched the five square kilometers of mountain forest near the old man's home, but still found nothing.

At this time, Rong Tenghong realized that there was a dense bamboo forest next to it, inaccessible, the only area where search and rescue personnel had not set foot, and the dense forest of the mountain might affect the search effect of the thermal imaging drone. Rong Tenghong decided decisively, the time was pressing, and immediately sent someone to search!
"Look! There seems to be a man lying on his stomach in front. At about 1 p.m. on the 10th, the search and rescue team found someone lying on the slope of the bamboo forest. The rescue team immediately went to find that it was the long-missing Pan Mother-in-law!
The old man was lying on the slope of the bamboo forest at the moment, his eyes were closed, the shoes on his feet had gone away, and his pulse was relatively weak, with only a faint breath. "Hurry up and put on her clothes." In order to prevent the old man from losing temperature, the team members immediately took off their clothes and put them on the old man.
Immediately, rescue team members worked together to carry the old man down the mountain and take him to the hospital. After treatment, the vital signs of the elderly are currently stable.
"They come out early and return late every day, and they can't even drink water." Zeng Xiaoling, a family member of Grandma Pan, told reporters that in the past few days, the rescue team has dispatched more than 60 people to carry out carpet searches day and night. Zeng Xiaoling also said that she had transferred 4,000 yuan to the search and rescue team to buy something to eat, but they were all politely rejected.
Rong Tenghong said that the old man was lost for 7 days and 6 nights, and it was a miracle that he could survive in the wild with a large temperature difference between day and night, without eating and drinking water. In addition, he also called for the elderly in the family to wear a portable device with GPS positioning for the elderly if they suffer from Alzheimer's disease, so as to prevent the elderly from getting lost and can be found in time.
