Recently, the video of Han Jiwen, an auxiliary police officer of the traffic police brigade of the Dengzhou City Public Security Bureau in Henan Province, jumping into the glacier to bravely save the elderly who fell into the water was widely disseminated on the Internet, and netizens paid attention to and forwarded it to praise the rescuers. Some netizens commented: "Your jump lifted a life and warmed the whole of Dengzhou!" On January 17, 2022, the reporter of the top news • Henan Business Daily contacted Han Jiwen, who bravely rescued the old man who fell into the water in the video, and conducted an interview.
According to the top news • Henan Business Daily reporter interview learned that at 17:00 on January 15, 2022, Han Jiwen, an auxiliary police officer of the traffic police brigade of the Dengzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau who was not on duty on the weekend, visited relatives in Chentang Village, Sangzhuang Town. "Help! ~~" There seemed to be a faint cry for help in the distance, at first Han Jiwen did not care, thinking that he heard it wrong, the cry for help came again, and he immediately ran quickly in the direction where the cry for help came. After arriving at the edge of the pit pond, an old man was found struggling in the river, clutching the weeds around him with both hands, and the water had flooded to the old man's chin, leaving only his head floating on the surface of the water, his face pale. Considering that the elderly may have cramps, body stiffness, physical weakness and other situations in the water, they are more worried that the elderly will encounter life danger, and the situation is very critical.
"No, hurry up and save people!" Han Jiwen didn't have time to think too much, and without hesitation, he jumped into the bone-chilling water and struggled to swim towards the old man who fell into the water.
The old man in the thick cotton coat was unusually heavy in the water, and the cold and bone-chilling river water made Han Jiwen's limbs stiff and numb, and it was difficult to rescue for a while, so he could only hold the old man's body with both hands and drag it back to the shore little by little. One step, two steps, three steps... After soaking in the water for nearly a few minutes, Han Jiwen slowly dragged the old man from the water to the shore. At this time, Han Jiwen was already trembling, and the old man was even more stiff and could not move.
"In such a cold weather, this young man jumped into the river without hesitation, and we were a little embarrassed to watch from the shore." The onlookers said. After rescuing the old man, Han Jiwen did not take care of his wet clothes, but while calming the old man's emotions, he verified the identity information of the old man with the nearby masses. Because the old man was older and was so cold-headed that he could not communicate for a while, he could not know the reason for falling into the water. After a while, the old man's relatives rushed to the scene, and Han Jiwen and his family sent the old man home and left.
"At that time, the situation was critical, people's lives were at stake, and I had to save him!" In an interview with a reporter from the top news, Henan Business Daily, Han Jiwen said that as a people's policeman, when the people have difficulties, they will certainly stand up and do their best to help the people and serve the people. It is understood that the old man who fell into the water is called Xu Qunyang, now 76 years old, a native of Chentang Village, Sangzhuang Town, due to the cold weather, Xu Qunyang, who is already elderly and has limited mobility, accidentally fell into the river when he walked to the river on crutches, fortunately rescued by the police in time, otherwise the consequences were unimaginable.
Henan Business Daily learned that when Han Jiwen was a child, he had almost drowned and had a fear of water, and later trained in a targeted manner. At that time, I saw that the old man who fell into the water was in a critical condition, and before he lived a human life, he was only thinking about how to quickly save people, but he did not know that his hand had been scratched by the dead branches in the river, and when he returned home, he found that the back of his hand was faintly painful.
On the morning of January 18, 2022, the family members of the rescued elderly rushed to the traffic police brigade of the Dengzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau to present Han Jiwen with a pennant of "Serving the People, Seeing Righteousness and Courage" to express gratitude.
