In the early hours of the morning, I heard a faint cry for help
The octogenarian "soaked" in the weir pond
In the early morning of April 18, 2023, in Ma'an Village, Guangfu Town, Zhongjiang County, Sichuan, villager Qin Mingsheng got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, heard a faint cry for help, and took a closer look and found that the 86-year-old Liu Fuming was "soaked" in the weir pond in front of the house.
Hearing the cries for help, Liu Guofu and his son Liu Tianguo, villagers who lived near Yantang, trotted all the way to the scene of the incident, and Liu Guofu did not have time to put on his coat at that time
After receiving the call, Liu Feng, deputy secretary of the party branch of Ma'an Village, immediately rushed to the scene with Liu Ziyuan, the village doctor, to check the situation and organize the villagers to rescue. "Liu Fuming suffers from Alzheimer's disease, and he is 86 years old, and his situation is very dangerous at that time. ”
The incident occurred in the weir pond
In the night, the villagers saw with the help of the faint light of the flashlight that only the head of the person who fell into the water was exposed, and the water depth of the weir pond was close to 2 meters, and the situation was very critical
Liu Guofu, a 75-year-old villager, at the critical moment
Jumped into the water to rescue Liu Fuming
Everyone tried to use the bamboo pole to pull the old man back to the shore, but Liu Fuming, who fell into the water, was weak in his limbs, and his body was unable to move, unable to grasp the bamboo pole handed over.
Seeing this, 75-year-old villager Liu Guofu immediately jumped into the water. Liu Guofu was only slightly watery, and after struggling to swim to Liu Fuming's side, he pulled him to the shore little by little...... In the end, the three of them worked together to carry Liu Fuming ashore.

"I didn't think much about it before I got into the water, I just wanted to save people. I'm sure anyone who sees this critical situation will lend a helping hand. Liu Guofu said.
The family members of the rescued took Liu Guofu's hand and thanked him repeatedly, and invited him to dine at home, but Liu Guofu politely declined: "Everyone is a neighbor, and it is appropriate to help each other." Seeing such a situation, how can I stand idly by!"
