After being rushed by the water close to the old man who fell into the water, he shouted to the old man, the old man's face was pale, there was no reaction, he picked up the old man and grabbed the wire and returned to the shore little by little. At this time, two people from the shore came, and the old man from a village, put the old man on the car and left. Li Gang returned to the car to change his clothes and continued to rush to his parents-in-law's house.
At his in-laws' home, Li Gang told his wife and in-laws that he had saved an old man who had fallen into the water, and the relatives who had a temple fair at his parents-in-law's house thought Li Gang was stupid and advised him to think about his wife and children when doing these things. Li Gang said: "I am a party member, I am also a veteran, I do not rush up to save people who rushed up?" ”

Villagers have different views on Li Gang's rescue, some people think Li Gang is stupid, but Li Gang thinks that everything is worth it. He said: "When encountering this kind of thing, party members must rush to the front, as a party member, and a veteran, as long as you see (someone falls into the water), even if I sacrifice myself, I have to try!" It's a respect for life! We can't patronize our own little homes, we have to take care of everyone! In the future, I will encounter such a thing, I will fight so hard! ”
