On July 6, 2012, a young woman with a ponytail held a sleepy child in her arms in a residential area in Loudi City, Hunan Province.
With an anxious face, he said to the husband next to him: "What about my husband, these days there are reports everywhere, I think one day I will find out on our heads." ”
The man looked bored, he grabbed his hair and said, "I know, don't force me?" ”
His roar woke up the child in the woman's arms, and the child began to cry.
The woman also couldn't help but cry: "Is this what I'm forcing you?" Is this what everyone is forcing us? The man who saved us is dead, and we can't always be a shrunken-headed turtle! ”
The man slapped the woman: "You have money, you are generous?" That's a human life! We can't afford to lose money."
What happened to the family of three, who was the man who saved them, and what was the final outcome of the family?
"Warm-hearted from childhood, living with dogs when I grew up"
Deng Jinjie was born in October 1985 in a small village in Louxing District, Loudi City, Hunan Province.
Deng Jinjie's family is not rich, and there is an older sister in the family.
Deng Jinjie's parents are both rural people, uncultured but enthusiastic and simple.
When Deng Jinjie was young, his parents often taught Deng Jinjie to be a person with the "Spirit of Lei Feng".
Under the guidance of his parents, Deng Jinjie became a warm-hearted and helpful person.
When he was in elementary school, he was praised by his teachers for collecting gold.
From childhood to adulthood, people around him like to praise Deng Jinjie as a friendly person, willing to help, and a good person.
In addition to being very enthusiastic about the people around him, Deng Jinjie has also shown a strong love for small animals since he was a child.
When Deng Jinjie was in the first grade, one day, while walking on the road, he saw a puppy crushed to death by a car in the middle of the road.
Despite his parents' objections, Deng Jinjie rushed to the middle of the road and picked up the dog's body.
After that, he made a small grave bag for the puppy and buried it.
After Deng Jinjie grew up, he began to take the initiative to ask his parents to buy pets such as parrots, kittens and puppies for himself.
In addition to his own domestic pets, Deng Jinjie often brings home cats and puppies who are stray outside.
Deng Jinjie's parents did not understand their son's behavior, and they repeatedly asked Deng Jinjie not to bring home stray animals.
Deng Jinjie, who was taught by his parents, began to bring food to feed cats and dogs outside.
He would take discarded cartons and newspapers from home, make nests for stray cats and dogs outside, and then regularly feed stray pets every day.
After Deng Jinjie finished junior high school, because the conditions at home were not good, coupled with the fact that Deng Jinjie was not a material for reading, his parents let him enter the society and start working.
At first, Deng Jinjie went to the restaurant as a chef apprentice at the request of his parents.
After working for two years, Deng Jinjie found that he was really not interested in being a chef, and he quit his job as a chef.
In 2002, Deng Jinjie thought of his future path.
Since you like dogs so much, why don't you keep dogs?
Since then, he has focused on his dog business.
Interest is the biggest teacher, since he began to focus on raising dogs, Deng Jinjie has learned a lot of knowledge, including how to feed dogs, how to treat dogs, different habits of dogs and so on.
Deng Jinjie rented a tile house of about 200 square meters in a cotton spinning factory near the Sunshui River, where Deng Jinjie raised a total of 16 precious dogs, including BianMu, Samoyed and so on.
Although the tile house is large, it is only one floor, and the tiles of the roof are still damaged, and it always leaks rain on rainy days.
In the summer, the sun shines directly on the tiles, and the house is so hot that it looks like a sauna.
Many nearby residents have compared Deng Jinjie's dog house to a pigsty.
Although the external conditions were a little worse, Deng Jinjie was not discouraged by this.
He has to clean the house every day to ensure that the dog's living environment is clean and hygienic, and Deng Jinjie usually lives in this house with the dog.
Although raising dogs is Deng Jinjie's ideal job, the reality is more cruel after all. Raising a dog alone does not support Deng Jinjie's daily expenses, not to mention the consumption of the dog itself is particularly large.
Deng Jinjie's sister Deng Qiuqiong, seeing the hardships of her brother's life, once gave her brother 20,000 yuan to let him take good care of himself.
But after Deng Jinjie got the money, his first reaction was to buy feed for the dog.
Twenty thousand yuan is not a penny left for themselves.
In mid-December 2003, at a local dog lovers' gathering in Loudi, Deng Jinjie met Yan Jianwei, who runs a Tibetan mastiff garden.
The two hit it off and quickly became friends.
After learning of Deng Jinjie's difficulties in life, Yan Jianwei offered to let Deng Jinjie come to his construction site to work.
Deng Jinjie was very happy, and since then, he finally has a formal job as a migrant worker on a construction site.
Deng Jinjie also often came to Yan Jianwei's Tibetan Mastiff Garden to help.
Although both are dog owners, the two sides do not regard each other as competitors. In Yan Jianwei's eyes, Deng Jinjie is a frank and straightforward person.
In addition to the needs of work, Deng Jinjie spends the rest of his time with dogs, and his love for dogs is unknown to everyone in the dog pen in Loudi City.
"The Last Face with Family"
At noon on July 3, 2012, Deng Jinjie led his two favorite dogs back to his home for dinner.
Because Deng Jinjie eats and lives with dogs, and because he is almost thirty years old and has not yet had a proper job, no girl is willing to associate with him. The people in the family were very anxious about this.
At home on this day, Deng Jinjie's parents mentioned about their son's marriage again, and they hoped that Deng Jinjie could give up raising dogs, change careers and work well, and then find a girlfriend.
But Deng Jinjie still rejected his parents as usual, saying: "As long as I have a dog to feed, it doesn't matter if I have a girlfriend hahahahaha." ”
After eating at noon, her sister Deng Qiuqiong offered to let Deng Jinjie take a lunch break at home before returning. After all, it was summer, and the tile house he lived in was too hot.
Deng Jinjie refused his sister's offer, pointing to the two dogs at the door and saying, "I still have to go to the Sunshui River to walk the dog." ”
Sister Deng Qiuqiong knew that her brother would go to SunShuihe Park every day to walk her dog, she did not force it to stay, and after a few words of instruction, she let Deng Jinjie go home.
Who knows, a few small talk with my brother at home after lunch is the last conversation with my brother in my life.
"Rescue people in distress, rescued people leave indifferently"
July is one of the hottest months of the year in Hunan, and the Sunshui River runs through Loudi City, and many Loudi residents choose to come to the park near the Sunshui River in the evening to cool off.
There are also many people who will ignore the notice that swimming is prohibited by the river and cool off in the water.
On the evening of July 3, Deng Jinjie dragged his dog to the vicinity of Sunshuihe Park as usual.
But when he approached the river, Deng Jinjie heard the sound of shouting for help from the river.
The enthusiastic Deng Jinjie did not hesitate, he immediately tied the dog to the stone pillar by the river, and then jumped into the river to save people without even taking off his clothes.
Under the leadership of Deng Jinjie, two more men jumped into the river to save people.
July is the flood season of the Sunshui River, and the water level is very high and the flow rate is very fast. Although Deng Jinjie has been swimming since he was a child, he still has some difficulty swimming to the side of the person who has fallen into the water.
The person who fell into the water panicked, and when Deng Jinjie swam to the side of the person who fell into the water, the person who fell into the water was still pulling on Deng Jinjie's clothes. In the process, Deng Jinjie choked on a lot of water.
When Deng Jinjie grabbed the drowning person, there were other well-wishers who jumped down behind him to take over the drowning person, and in this way, several of the drowning people were transported to the shore one by one.
The people on the shore were all concerned about the situation of the people who had fallen into the water, until the other two rescuers who jumped into the water came ashore, and Deng Jinjie's dog on the stone pillar kept barking, and the people on the shore noticed that Deng Jinjie had not come ashore for a long time.
People who are familiar with water nature jumped into the river again, except that this time they were looking for Deng Jinjie.
The crowd grew, someone dialed 120 and 110, and in this panic, the three rescued people who fell into the water quietly left the crowd.
According to an aunt who witnessed the whole process, the rescue boy was found not to come ashore, and everyone was looking for a rescuer.
Seeing that the three people who fell into the water were about to leave, the aunt told the people who fell into the water that the person who saved you had not yet come up, and what she did not expect was that one of the women who was rescued actually replied: "What is the matter with me?" ”
After the alarm, the loudi city police arrived and immediately carried out fishing work in the section of the Sunshui River. When Deng Jinjie was salvaged ashore, he died because he drowned for too long.
"The case fermented, and the person who fell into the water seven days later appeared"
After the police found Deng Jinjie's body, they notified Deng Jinjie's family.
Deng Jinjie's parents were immersed in the grief of losing their children in old age and could not extricate themselves, and they fainted from crying at home for a while.
In the end, Deng Jinjie's sister Deng Qiuqiong drove from her home to the police station to claim her brother's body.
At the police, Deng Qiuqiong learned the reason for her brother's death, which was actually to save people!
At the same time, Deng Qiuqiong also learned that after her brother saved people, the rescued people actually left without even saying a word of thanks.
Deng Qiuqiong was very chilled by the behavior of the rescued. She didn't know if it was worth it for her brother to lose his life to save such a conscienceless person.
After Deng Jinjie's friend Yan Jianwei learned of this matter, he directly took out 10,000 pieces to seek information about the people who fell into the water at that time.
Many people in the dog pen in Loudi City are saddened by Deng Jinjie's departure, and they are also actively involved in the search for the drowning person. However, several days passed and the rescued person never appeared.
"Deng Jinjie saved people's lives, and the rescued people left indifferently" This matter was reported by many news media, and then quickly spread as a hot topic on the Internet.
Not only can you hear people around you discussing the case, but even netizens across the country are talking about these indifferent drowning people.
This matter has also aroused the great attention of the Loudi Municipal Public Security Bureau, which said that it has filed a case for investigation.
The leaders of Loudi City drove to Deng Jinjie's spiritual hall afterwards to mourn this hero who saved people, and also expressed condolences to Deng Jinjie's family.
When asked about the person who fell into the water, her sister Deng Qiuqiong said that her family would not ask the person who fell into the water to compensate the family, but only hoped that they could come to Deng Jinjie's body to mourn and explain why they would leave indifferently at that time.
The family hoped that Deng Jinjie would be able to walk clearly before being cremated.
A few days after Deng Jinjie's death, many Loudi city citizens and dog lovers spontaneously came to mourn Deng Jinjie.
At 9:00 a.m. on July 6, 2012, the Loudi City Funeral Home, where Deng Jinjie's body was parked, also held a memorial service for the grassroots hero. Nearly a thousand Loudi citizens attended the memorial service, which lasted until after 10 o'clock.
The Deng Jinjie incident quickly fermented throughout Loudi City, but the three rescued people who fell into the water never took the initiative to appear.
The Louxing District Dake Police Station, which was in charge of the case, launched a carpet survey in the district and mobilized community workers to find the three rescued people.
Finally, on the morning of July 10, the 7th day after Deng Jinjie's drowning, a community in Louxing District found the three rescued people who fell into the water during an investigation. In fact, there were four people who were rescued from the water at that time, namely a family of three and a sister-in-law at home.
Under the persuasion of community personnel, at eight o'clock in the evening of the 10th, it was also the day of Deng Jinjie's "first seven", and the couple of three members of the family and the sister-in-law came to Deng Jinjie's home together.
The three apologized to Deng Jinjie's portrait and apologized to Deng Jinjie's parents with tears, during which they also gave Deng Jinjie's parents an envelope containing cash.
But Deng Jinjie's family did not accept the money, believing that no matter how much money they had, they could not exchange their children's lives.
When Deng Jinjie's sister asked why she chose to leave at that time, the three rescued people explained that they left because they did not know that Deng Jinjie was killed. Whether this statement is true or not, only the few people who were rescued know it in their hearts.
The relevant local authorities defined the behavior of Deng Jinjie and several people who went into the water to save people as acting bravely. Loudi City sent 20,000 yuan of condolence money to Deng Jinjie's family, and several local enterprises also sent 300,000 yuan of condolence money when visiting Deng Jinjie's family.
After Deng Jinjie's death, the civil affairs department of Louxing District of Loudi City declared Deng Jinjie as a martyr.
"Thanks for the show of hands"
In February 2018, Deng Jinjie's sister Deng Qiuqiong gave birth to a daughter, and after the daughter understood things, Deng Qiuqiong always told her daughter about the heroic deeds of her younger brother Deng Jinjie.
Although Deng Jinjie has now passed away, Deng Qiuqiong still hopes that he will live in the hearts of every Deng family.
Today, although nearly a decade has passed, Deng Jinjie's bits and pieces at home have not been erased.
Two of Deng Jinjie's favorite dogs have now been taken back to Deng Jinjie's parents' home, and the rest have been handed over to Deng Jinjie's friends when he raised dogs.
At the beginning of last year, one of the dogs in the family died of old age, and now there is a dog in his twilight years, who often stares at the photos of Deng Jinjie hanging in the living room.
After Deng Jinjie's death, the street where Deng Jinjie's parents were located would come to comfort Deng Jinjie's parents every year.
On January 1, 2022, the street office staff came to the home of Deng Jinjie's parents, and they asked Deng Jinjie's parents whether they were healthy and healthy, and if there was anything that needed help, the community would try to help.
In life, the work of raising hands should also be thanked, let alone a life-saving grace. I hope that everyone can get used to saying thank you when receiving help from others, and don't let the well-wishers chill!
