News Review:
I saw my friend fall into the water, and a 15-year-old boy jumped down to save people
Fifteen-year-old Lin Hongli, who graduated from junior high school in 2023, came to Xi'an from Fujian to reunite with his parents during the summer vacation, and lives in Yangjiawan Village in Shilipu.
On August 9, 2023, Lin Hongli went out to play with two friends he had just met, and in the afternoon of the same day, Lin Hongli's parents received a call from the police, saying that the child was washed away by the water and has not yet been recovered. Mr. Lin and his wife immediately rushed to the scene, and at about 19 o'clock that day, Lin Hongli was salvaged ashore, unfortunately, the child was no longer breathing.
After the incident, the account of the rescued two children and the police interrogation record show what happened: at noon on August 9, Lin Hongli and 13-year-old Xiao Huang and 12-year-old Xiao Wang went to the Chan River to play together, Lin Hongli played on the bank, Xiao Huang and Xiao Wang played in the sand near the river, and suddenly the two people slipped into the river.
Lin Hongli on the shore heard the call for help, and immediately went into the water to save people, he saw that Xiao Wang had grabbed the aquatic weeds and went ashore, so he swam to Xiao Huang, swam to Xiao Huang's side, Xiao Huang grabbed his clothes, he dragged Xiao Huang to the shore, Xiao Huang grabbed the aquatic weeds and went ashore, but he was washed away by the turbulent river.
When they learned from the police that their son had lost his life to save two children, they were grieved with a little more relief, and their greatest wish was that their child could win the title of "righteous and courageous".
After the report of Huashang Daily, the 15-year-old boy aroused praise from the whole network
On August 16, 2023, the all-media of Huashang Daily reported on the incident with the title of "Seeing a 15-year-old boy jumping into the water to save people", which attracted widespread attention, and netizens commented and praised Lin Hongli's righteous deeds, and also deeply regretted his departure.
Netizen "Captain Dragonfly": "I happened to pass by on the day of the incident, and I thought that the child was swimming and drowned, but I didn't expect it to be righteous and brave, and it was really sad to see the child's mother crying heartbreakingly." Saved others, sacrificed himself, and the title of righteousness and courage should be given. ”
Netizen "Mountain Eagle": "Young hero, you are the best, the hero goes all the way!"
Under the promotion of Huashang Daily, Lin Hongli's application for the title of "righteousness and courage" was also quickly launched. On August 16, a reporter from Huashang Daily accompanied Lin Hongli's parents to the Guangyuntan Police Station of the Chanba Branch of the Xi'an Municipal Public Security Bureau to learn about the progress of the declaration of the title of "Righteousness and Courage". At the same time, the reporter contacted the Political and Legal Committee of the Baqiao District Party Committee to understand the application details for the title of "Righteousness and Courage". The Guangyuntan Police Station and the Political and Legal Committee of the Baqiao District Party Committee both said that they would actively assist Lin Hongli's parents to help their children apply for the title of "Righteousness and Courage". It takes a long time from the application to the approval, about half a year, and I hope that the family can actively cooperate.
The death of a loved one is not a heavy rain
It's a lifetime of dampness
After Lin Hongli died, after handling the child's funeral, Lin Hongli's parents returned to their hometown in Fujian with the child's ashes. They said that they would bury their children in their hometown, and they would also return to their hometown to live and no longer go out to work. Talking about the life of returning to her hometown in Fujian for nearly half a year, Lin Hongli's mother, Ms. Zhou, said: "I live in the longing and heartache of my children every day. ”
"Nearly half a year has passed, I originally thought that I was the most sad when the child had an accident, and then it would slowly calm down, but in fact this is not the case, and our grief has not decreased at all. His hometown is where he has lived for many years, and seeing things related to him will arouse sadness, and I have insomnia every night, and I cry bitterly when I think of him. In the past six months, I am most afraid of the festival, I don't want to have any festival, the festival is a time of reunion, but our family can't be reunited. Ms. Zhou said while crying.
So far, Lin Hongli's grandmother still doesn't know the cruel fact that the child has left, "The family doesn't dare to tell her, she is 90 years old, and she can't stand this blow, we all told her that Lin Hongli went to the field as an apprentice, and he was very busy with work and didn't have time to go home." For Lin Hongli's family, the death of a loved one is not a heavy rain, but a lifetime of dampness.
Receiving the "Righteous and Courageous" certificate is also a consolation
On January 1, Lin Hongli's mother, Ms. Zhou, told a reporter from Huashang Daily that on the last day of 2023, she received a certificate of "righteousness and courage" sent from Xi'an.
On the photo sent by Lin Hongli's mother, the honorary certificate reads: "Comrade Lin Hongli was awarded the title of Righteous and Courageous Advanced Individual in Baqiao District, Xi'an City, and this certificate is specially issued for encouragement." "The issuing unit is the People's Government of Baqiao District.
"When I received the certificate, my father and I cried bitterly, and our memories seemed to go back to the time when the accident had just happened. The children we have raised with great difficulty, saying that they are gone, and losing a child in middle age is the saddest thing. Ms. Zhou said that the child's righteousness and courage to act, the relevant departments of Fujian Province and Putian City also knew, and also expressed comfort to them, after the "righteousness and courage" certificate was sent, she told the news to the leaders of the village, although for the parents, this recognition did not alleviate the pain, but it is a comfort to the child's soul in the sky, she also hopes to tell the results through the Huashang Daily, readers and netizens who care about this matter, "Thank you for your attention, this matter has finally come to an end." ”
