He stood bravely on the dimly lit highway, waving desperately in an attempt to warn the vehicles behind him. However, the ambient lighting was extremely poor, and the faint light of the mobile phone flash was as weak as a firefly to attract the driver's attention. At this life-and-death moment, the old man Huang Jiandu resolutely chose to kneel, using his body as a warning sign, successfully stopped a number of speeding vehicles, and saved countless lives.
