"At that time, I couldn't care about the cold, I thought about saving people, and as soon as I took off my clothes, I went into the water..." On the afternoon of January 17, the street staff of Yanchang Road in Chengguan District, Lanzhou City, came to the home of Suga Jiguang, a veteran who recently saved people in the xiahe river in Marathon Park, and sent him flowers and condolences to express their gratitude.

Suga Jiguang, from his hometown of Shandong, has just turned 60 and speaks directly. He vividly remembers going out for a walk at Marathon Park at 18:32 on December 28, 2021. When hearing the child's "help" and crying, the sky had darkened, coupled with the fact that the line of sight was not very good, the reflection on the water surface and other reasons, Suga Jiguang vaguely saw that there was a black shadow in the middle of the Yellow River that was washed down.

It was winter at the moment, but Suga couldn't think about it and immediately stripped off and went into the water. There was a shoal between him and the drowning man, where the yellow river flowed slightly, and no one else could be seen around, "If I don't stop him here, there is no hope of being washed downstream." ”

Fortunately, when he learned to swim when he joined the army, Suga Jiguang first staggered in the shallow water, and then completely submerged in the cold water, struggling to catch the child who fell into the water.

After landing, with the help of everyone, the children who fell into the water were put into an ambulance. Someone around him shouted "good looking" at him, and Suga just waved his hand and smiled. He told reporters: "When I went ashore, I knew that it was cold, fortunately it was close to home, otherwise it would be frozen." ”

It is understood that the rescued child is a teenager, a student, and the reason for falling into the water is unknown.
