"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. And the matter of saving people must start from an incident more than ten days ago.
On the evening of December 28, 2021, a video of "Lanzhou Marathon Park drowned rescued" spread in the WeChat group. After investigating and understanding, it was learned that it was Suga Jiguang who saved people in the video that day, a resident of the Kawamura community on yanchang Road street, and also a retired soldier, who just turned 60 this year.
Talking about the process of saving people at that time, Suga Jiguang told reporters that at about 18:00 on the evening of December 28, he went out for a walk in Marathon Park. When he heard the cries and shouts of the children, the sky had darkened, coupled with the fact that the line of sight was not very good, the reflection of 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." ”
Because he had learned to swim when he was in the army, Suga Jiguang first staggered in 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, but fortunately I was close to home, otherwise I would have been frozen." It is understood that the rescued child is a teenager, a student, and the reason for falling into the water is unknown.
At the bottom of this popular video, the reporter saw that netizens also liked Suga Jiguang. "Salute to the brave people of Lanzhou!" "This teacher is good-looking, such a cold day did not consider his body, directly into the water to save people, he is the pride of our Lanzhou people!" "Ordinary people have done extraordinary things, Lanzhou big brother is awesome!"
After learning about this incident, the Yanchang Road street in the jurisdiction where Suga Jiguang lived also came to Master Suga's home with condolences and flowers for the first time. Walking to the door of Master Suga's house, the "Glorious House" sign posted on the door showed his glorious military career, and when he walked into the home, Master Suga told the street staff about the incident of the day, and the street representative also expressed respect and condolences to Master Suga. "We hope to send everyone's concern and the government's condolences to the good people through condolences, and we also hope that we can transmit and carry forward such positive energy in the whole jurisdiction and make our entire jurisdiction better!" The relevant person in charge of Yanchang Road Street told reporters.
