"Master, I've finally found you." On the morning of May 15, at the Liulang Police Station of the West Lake Scenic Area Bureau of the Hangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, the police were very excited when they saw Xidev. In the past few days, in order to contact Hidev, the police have also made a lot of efforts. "I made several phone calls, but they were all busy signals, and then I was contacted through the police station in Inner Mongolia."
It turned out that in order to commend Sidev's heroic and good deeds of saving people, the Liulang Police Station wanted to apply for an honor for his righteousness and bravery. But on the day of the rescue, he simply left some personal information and left in a hurry, and many details were insufficient, which made it difficult for the police at the Liulang Police Station.
"There are so many people contacting me these days." Hidev explained with some embarrassment that after the video of the rescue became popular on the Internet, he received a lot of calls to contact the interview report and verify the information, which kept him a little busy for a while.
What the hell happened to keep Hidev so busy?
On May 13, in Hangzhou's West Lake, a woman unfortunately fell into the water and was in critical condition. A white-haired man jumped into the lake without hesitation and successfully rescued her. Afterwards, netizens found out that the white-haired uncle was the 66-year-old senior retired reporter of Inner Mongolia Radio and Television Station.

In the past few days, the deeds of Sidev's successful rescue of the woman who fell into the water in Hangzhou's West Lake have attracted the attention of netizens across the country.
Ten seconds to save people, for most people, is just a time turn. But for a living life that is lifted up, it is regeneration, and it is a perfect interpretation of truth, goodness and beauty.
"You are a hero, proud of you......" For a while, there was a flood of likes.
Shandong like! Zhejiang like! Guangdong like! Hebei like! Inner Mongolia likes! Praise from netizens across the country!

After making a brief record at the Liulang Police Station, Xidev took the reporter and the police back to the scene of the incident and introduced the scene of saving people at that time. "I saw that the water was almost above the top of the little girl's head, and the situation was very urgent, so I didn't think much about it, so I went directly into the water to save people."
"The water environment of West Lake is quite complex, with a depth of more than 10 meters and a shallow water of more than 2 meters. As a person who has just arrived here, it is really not easy for him to dare to go into the water to save people. "Police officer Ge Jinhua recalled the scene he saw when he was on duty that day, and he was not only amazed by Sidev's textbook rescue skills, but also admired his dedication to sacrificing himself to save others." He was holding and dragging the drowning person from behind to swim back, rather than grabbing her directly, and the action was very standard and professional. We all want to give him a big thumbs up. ”
Sidev's act of saving people has won high praise from netizens across the country.
At noon on May 15, Inner Mongolia Radio and Television Station held a commendation meeting and awarded Xidev the title of "Inner Mongolia Radio and Television Station is a good employee for righteousness and courage".
"When I saw the news, I wasn't surprised at all, because it wasn't the first time he'd saved someone. If you are not a good and professional swimmer, it is difficult to rescue an adult skillfully in such water. Jin Ke, director of the Hulunbuir station of Inner Mongolia Radio and Television Station, told reporters that Xidev is his senior, who has been engaged in Mongolian radio news coverage before retirement and is a senior text reporter. In his memory, he was very dedicated and diligent, and often went deep into the vast grassland pastoral areas to dig out first-line news and show the magnificent mountains and rivers of Hulunbuir and the beautiful and happy life of the grassland people.
Asiri of the Inner Mongolia Hailar Winter Swimming Association said that Sidev is one of the founders of the Hailar Winter Swimming Association, which was founded in 1992 and currently has nearly 100 members who have participated in many salvage and rescue public welfare operations in the local area.
According to reports, Sidev has loved fitness and outdoor sports since he was a child, and insists on participating in physical exercise every day, including winter swimming, summer open water swimming, 10km running, middle and long-distance cycling and other sports.
"For so many years, Brother Xi has rarely stopped swimming." Coach Ao, a member of the Winter Swimming Association, said that since the establishment of the Winter Swimming Association, he has insisted on swimming in spring, summer, autumn and winter. "Saving people is a small thing for him, and he has often saved people over the years."
In everyone's eyes, Sidev can "martial arts" and "literature", and Sidev, who was born in an educational family, usually likes to write, study the culture of the three minority nationalities, and play the accordion.

"He is enthusiastic and upright, self-disciplined and simple, low-key, wise and funny, full of economy, full of passion and love for life, and will always bring positive energy to his friends." Li Jian, who is both a member of the Winter Swimming Association and a friend of Sidfu, commented.
Since his retirement in 2019, Xidev has insisted on researching and writing about the inheritance and treatise of the traditional culture of ethnic minorities in northern China, and has made significant contributions to the study of the languages of the three ethnic minorities in Hulunbuir.
"I especially admire his self-motivated spirit of learning after retirement." Li Jian said, "Brother Xi's daily work, study, and exercise time are well arranged. He is even more responsive to his friends and is recognized as a mentor and helpful friend. ”
Last year, Li Jian's old mother accidentally broke a bone after falling at home, and Brother Xi took the initiative to recommend the inheritor of the traditional Evenki bone graft after knowing about it, and even personally picked up and escorted the translator in Evenki for each treatment. After a period of continuous treatment, the old man's legs were soon able to walk with the help of crutches. To this day, Li Jian is still deeply moved.
"As a native of Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia, Brother Xi is really touched by such a righteous act, he is the 'business card' of our city." When Badarihu of Hailar mentioned this, he was full of emotion. He said that in the past two days, Brother Xi's deeds have spread all over the streets and alleys of Hailar.

In an interview with reporters, Hidev said that he only learned about the media about his rescue the next day, and even he did not expect that it would attract so much media attention. For saving people, he was very calm, and he didn't feel that he had done anything earth-shattering. In his opinion, this matter is nothing, just a natural move in a hurry.
He said that on the same day, he took his wife to the West Lake in Hangzhou to play, and when he walked on the edge of the West Lake, he suddenly found that a girl fell into the lake, and jumped into it without thinking much about it. While sorting out her clothes, it was learned that the girl had accidentally fallen overboard while taking pictures on the shore. At that time, the girl asked him to call, but was politely declined.
In fact, at the moment when he rushed into the lake, his wife kept shouting "beware of danger" behind him! But he didn't hesitate.
After going ashore, my wife was scared because they didn't know how deep the water was in West Lake.
Xidev told reporters that he had also participated in many rescues in Yiminhe in Hulunbuir before, which was completed together with the members of the association. But this time I rescued alone, and I really didn't think so much about the consequences.
He said indifferently that in a few days he and his wife will return to Inner Mongolia, return to Hailar, continue to swim and fitness, continue to study his three minority ethnic culture, because he loves it, he likes it.
