Cover News Reporter Ma Mengfei Zhou Bin Hangzhou Photo Report
"It's still a bit high when you look at it this way, and I don't have time to pay attention to it when I usually run a single pass, that is, I will come with you (reporters). After 4 o'clock in the afternoon of December 6, Peng Qinglin finished the day shift, came to Hangzhou Xixing Bridge again, leaned on the railing and looked at the Qiantang River and sighed in a low voice.
In June this year, a woman jumped into the river at the Xixing Bridge in Hangzhou, and Peng Qinglin, who was delivering takeaways, happened to pass by and jumped off the bridge more than 10 meters high, pulling the woman back from the brink of death, and his thin figure also broke into the public's field of vision.
Now Peng Qinglin overlooking the Xixing Bridge
While this kindness and courage touched the whole network, it also brought more "identity" and honors to Peng Qinglin, "the most beautiful Hangzhou person", Hangzhou Asian Games torchbearer, Hangzhou vigilante, as well as "Hunan Good Man" and "Hangzhou Good Man" and other titles, and was recorded as a first-class merit by the Zhejiang Provincial Government. In addition, he settled in Hangzhou and got the opportunity to go to university for free.
"Sometimes it feels a little dreamy. In the past few months, Peng Qinglin has experienced too many people and things, many of which he has not touched in the past years. After fading away from the bustle and spotlight, he still put on a food delivery uniform and shuttled through the streets and alleys, just like before "jumping off the bridge to save people". Some people say that Peng Qinglin is a brave and lucky man, and he agrees with this view. During the conversation, Peng Qinglin repeated the phrase "show of hands" many times.
Jump
Faced with a drop of more than 10 meters, he was also hesitant and afraid
After 10 o'clock in the morning of the 6th, the reporter saw Peng Qinglin for the first time, he had already put on food delivery equipment and rode on the car to prepare for departure. "When I finish delivering takeout in the afternoon, we will make an appointment, and we can also go to the Third Bridge (Xixing Bridge). After a few words, Peng Qinglin drove away quickly, decisively and quickly.
Xixing Bridge is located in Shangcheng District, Hangzhou, known locally as the "Three Bridges of the Qianjiang River", the main bridge is 1280 meters, the north-south viaduct approach bridge is 4420 meters, according to the different ebb and flow, the bridge deck is about 12 to 15 meters away from the water surface. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Hangzhou is almost dusk, overlooking the Xixing Bridge, the golden light and shadow of the sunset are sprinkled on the surface of the Qiantang River, rippling, the reporter and Peng Qinglin returned to the bridge, after more than 5 months, his life has experienced "earth-shaking" changes.
At around 1 p.m. on June 13 this year, a woman jumped into the river at the Xixing Bridge and committed suicide. It happened that Peng Qinglin, who was delivering takeaways, passed by, and saw that the woman in Luojiang was about to sink, so he took off his coat and shoes, grabbed the railing and climbed over in the middle of a group of people, and finally jumped into the river to save people. With the assistance of the police from the police station who rushed to the scene and the water police, Peng Qinglin rescued the woman safely, and the whole process took about 10 minutes.
This is Peng Qinglin's experience of saving people. In fact, behind the short text, Peng Qinglin at that time was not easy.
Judging from the video from the scene, Peng Qinglin, who was wearing a black T-shirt, stood outside the railing of the bridge and was about to jump down. Because the height of the river is more than ten meters, it can be seen that he grabbed the railing with his backhand, took deep breaths repeatedly, and jumped into the river to save people after many attempts to muster up courage.
"To tell you the truth, I was a little scared at the time, I tried twice, and I didn't dare to jump the first time, but the woman who fell into the water couldn't wait, so I jumped the second time. Standing on the side of the bridge, Peng Qinglin recalled that he was squatting into the water, which was equivalent to sitting down with a butt, and at the moment of entering the water, his waist shrank suddenly, and he choked on a few mouthfuls of water. It was also very difficult to save people on the water, "I took the woman to swim to the bridge pier, and I was already a little out of strength, and I felt like I was about to die." ”
It was precisely because Peng Qinglin hesitated at that moment that he was more sincere and moving.
After rescuing people, Peng Qinglin, who was in a hurry, swam back to the shore by himself, wearing soaked clothes, and continued to deliver takeaways, "The clothes are black, and it is not obvious when wet." "Afterwards, he was diagnosed with a compression fracture of the thoracic vertebrae. At 9 o'clock in the evening of the same day, after running the last order, Peng Qinglin received contacts from the police and reporters in the jurisdiction.
Peng Qinglin was on fire.
Step back
After the flowers and applause, he was still walking through the streets
When he woke up, Peng Qinglin's back injury had not yet healed, and the outside world had "turned the sky upside down", and he became a "hero" in the mouths of many netizens.
On June 14, the local public security awarded Peng Qinglin the first-class public security honorary medal, and was awarded the honorary title of "Righteous and Courageous Activist" by the local government, and was also awarded the title of "Good Man of Hangzhou" by the Hangzhou Municipal Civilization Office. In the following two days, Peng Qinglin's hometown, the Zhangjiajie City Spiritual Civilization Construction Steering Committee, awarded him the "Good Man of Zhangjiajie......
Laughing and talking with the citizens who recognized him
"At that time, I was stunned, I had never seen such a big battle before. Even after a few months, Peng Qinglin was still a little amazed. The life wrapped in honor, spotlight and flowers made him a little uncomfortable. From obscurity to countless praises, the huge contrast in a short period of time did not give this young man much time to prepare.
But Peng Qinglin, who was "sober-minded", was not coerced by traffic to "overturn". He funded part of the prize money to poor students in his hometown, established the "Peng Qinglin Love Public Welfare Center" in his hometown Sangzhi County, and was invited to participate in some public welfare activities. "There are many people who ask me to live broadcast and bring goods as an Internet celebrity, and even offer a high price of millions, but they all refuse. He said that the halo will be consumed one day, and it is better to use the traffic to do something more meaningful.
Over the past few months, Peng Qinglin has gone through many red carpet walks, interviews, and receiving awards, but almost every time he returns home after an event, he will wear a helmet, wear a yellow takeaway uniform, and ride an electric car through the streets and alleys to deliver food. From the red carpet surrounded by applause to the food delivery road in the scorching sun and cold wind, for Peng Qinglin, there seems to be no difference, "There is no gap, just return to your own work, which is normal." He confessed.
At 6 o'clock in the evening, Peng Qinglin prepared to send takeaways
If there is any change after saving people, Peng Qinglin believes that it is because he has come into contact with more people, learned more things, and the boundaries of life have been forcibly broadened, which is also a kind of growth, "For example, I used to be unable to chat with media reporters so calmly." Speaking of which, Peng Qinglin opened the list of friends, and he has added hundreds of media reporters in the past few months.
Nowadays, on the streets of Hangzhou, from time to time, citizens and peers recognize Peng Qinglin, or chat with him, or take photos with him, Peng Qinglin has become Xi to it, and he feels that this is a recognition. During the interview, a passer-by recognized Peng Qinglin and gave him a thumbs up.
Run for the future

At about 5 o'clock in the evening, when night fell in Hangzhou, Peng Qinglin took a box of express delivery and returned home, which was a warm glove to be issued to the team members, "Oh no, this glove can't touch the screen, only try to cut your fingers." He said something in his mouth as he went to find scissors to fix it. Now, Peng Qinglin has become a rider team leader, and he has to deal with the running orders of the takeaway brother in the team every day, and there are currently 16 people in the team.
Peng Qinglin and his team members

For the current state of life and work, Peng Qinglin feels very good, and he is very happy and free to deliver takeaways, "My main thing is to live in the moment, don't think so much, sometimes it's easy to float if you think too much, or take every step down-to-earth." ”
Interestingly, due to work needs, Peng Qinglin verified his personal account on the short video platform, and since then, he has successively posted some daily videos of food delivery and running orders on the platform, while more people praise, some people say that he is eye-catching in marketing, "In life, I am more 'social cow', I like to chat with people, for me to be able to communicate with people from all over the world on the online platform, it is a very happy thing." It's also a fun way to live, he thinks.
