A glimmer of life: the miracle of life for the elderly, how can the world be as good as it should be? Just a few days ago, a thrilling accident occurred in Gongjing District, Zigong City, Sichuan.
A 91-year-old woman somehow rolled over to the fourth-floor window and hung on the windowsill, ready to fall at any moment. At this critical moment, the witty actions of enthusiastic passers-by saved the lives of the elderly and let us see the light in human nature.
It all started that afternoon. Ms. Qiu, a merchant on the first floor, recalled that at about 1 o'clock, there were sudden cries for help outside. Following the prestige, I saw a white-haired mother-in-law leaning out of the window outside a window on the fourth floor, pulling a rope and holding on to the window sill.
Seeing that the old man was in danger, the surrounding crowd immediately shouted loudly, hoping that she would return indoors as soon as possible. However, the old man seemed to be in a dilemma, and did not dare to move.
According to the old man's son, Mr. Yang, his mother was very old, but she maintained a good ability to take care of herself. Before the incident, the old man may have been tending to potted plants by the windowsill, and climbed out of the window for convenience.
But I didn't expect that when I wanted to return to the room, it would be as difficult as a cloud, so I could only pull the rope that fixed the plant, hold on to the window sill, and stalemate there. At the critical moment, seeing that the old man might fall at any time, Ms. Qiu immediately dialed 110 without saying a word.
A passing enthusiast could not sit idly by, and he quickly found a few foam boxes from nearby and set up an improvised "" at the likely location of the old man's fall. It didn't take long for the old man to fall from the fourth floor as expected, although he fell from such a height, but fortunately, the temporary foam box just now played a cushioning role, so that the old man suffered multiple fractures, but still luckily saved a small life.
In the critical moment, the actions of this good Samaritan undoubtedly played a key role. Although the diagnosis showed intracranial hemorrhage, multiple fractures, and lung contusions, his vital signs have been stabilized and he is being treated in intensive care.
For this old man, this is undoubtedly a life saved. And the good news is that in this seemingly ordinary community, there is no shortage of well-wishers who are eager to help others, and their conscious actions have saved a precious life.
How the elderly can prevent such accidents is worth pondering. For a number of reasons, elderly people who live alone often have certain life risks.
In their later years, they will be more or less forgetful, such as forgetting that the gas valve is not turned off, and the faucet is leaking. Due to the decline in physical function, they will inevitably fall, fall and other conditions.
At the same time, most elderly people who live alone also lack external guardianship. Over time, small household hazards can breed danger and even lead to tragedy.
In many cases, children may be away for a long time, and it is difficult to take care of the daily life of the elderly in time; Or you are too busy at work to be separated at any time. Therefore, the whole society needs to create a safe and secure living environment for this special group.
On the one hand, government departments need to increase patrols in urban and rural communities to discover and resolve various hidden dangers in a timely manner. For example, regularly carry out safe life education for the elderly to improve their awareness of self-prevention; Conduct a safety assessment of the living environment, tailor-made enhanced protective measures for them, etc.
At the same time, the community also needs to mobilize more civil forces, so that enthusiastic residents can join in, work together to pay close attention to the living conditions of the elderly living alone, help each other, and investigate doubts. For example, a joint defense team can be set up by familiar neighbors, divided labor and cooperation, regular home visits, and inquiries about whether assistance is needed, etc., to build a benign protective circle.
It is precisely because of the perseverance of not giving up and helping each other that this precious life has been saved from misfortune. This not only reminds us to pay attention to the safety of the elderly in all aspects, but also inspires us to approach life with a positive and optimistic attitude, and warm every life around us with love and kindness.
