A week ago, Zhang Zhide, the commander of line 205 of the Guangzhou Bus Group Sanqi Company, rushed on the Pearl River Bridge and bravely hugged and saved two lives. His act of seeing righteousness and courage was swept across the network and praised by everyone.
Yesterday, Guangzhou City Saw Righteous Courage issued a condolence award certificate to Zhang Zhide for the Foundation, and sent a reward of 8,000 yuan for seeing righteous courage. At the same time, Guangzhou Bus Group Sanqi Company also awarded him a positive energy reward of 8,000 yuan. At the scene of the award ceremony, a representative of a Guangzhou citizen also sent Zhang Zhide a pennant with the words "The driver's big man sees the righteous courage as a hero and a hero to show his respect."
In the face of the rewards received, Zhang Zhide expressed his gratitude one after another: "Thank you for the recognition of my courageous behavior and my personal encouragement, this honor belongs to everyone with a sense of justice, I believe that anyone with a sense of justice will save people at that moment, I just did what everyone should do." ”
It is understood that this is not the first time that Zhang Zhide has received a commendation award for seeing righteous courage, in August 2020, the Guangzhou Seeing Righteous Courage Foundation issued him a condolence award certificate and a reward money, commending him for saving a car owner who was suddenly unwell. He also won the 2019-2020 Guangzhou Urban Public Transport Industry "See The Righteous courage for the good neighborhood" nomination award.
"The second time she looked at the surface of the Pearl River, I realized that she might have bad thoughts."
At the award ceremony site, recalling the process of saving people, Zhang Zhide said that it was a natural reaction to save people at that time.
Many people feel curious, when the incident occurred, how could Zhang Zhide first realize that the mother had the idea of jumping into the river to live lightly? Zhang Zhide said: "The main thing is the company's normal emergency training and education, which gives me the awareness and response to such emergencies. ”
Zhang Zhide further explained: "As a driver, I must always pay attention to the dynamics of the road. When I saw the mother and son, I used what I had learned in my daily life. First of all, the road section of the incident was the inner ring road section, there should be no pedestrians, and the mother's behavior made me question. I had been driving for so many years and had never seen anyone walking like this on the inner ring road, let alone with a child; secondly, the mother was completely unaware of safety, and she looked at the river as she walked, rather than paying attention to the surrounding vehicles and not paying attention to the children around her. So, the second time she looked at the surface of the Pearl River, I realized that she might have bad thoughts. I immediately drove to the side of the mother and son, ready to open the car door to pick up the mother and son, when the mother's move frightened me. She suddenly picked up the child at the moment I braked, fortunately the child was not successfully picked up, I quickly pulled the handbrake, opened the front door of the car, unfastened the seat belt, and immediately rushed out to hug the mother and son whose left foot was about to cross the guardrail tightly, away from the edge of the bridge. The passengers in the car saw the situation and also hurriedly got off the bus and returned to the bus with the child in their arms. Subsequently, Zhang Zhide took the woman into the car.
At first, the woman's emotions were still very excited. After getting into the car, Zhang Zhide immediately dialed 110 to call the police. To prevent accidents, he closed all the windows and doors, handed the woman a tissue, asked her to wipe her tears, and softly comforted her.
Thinking of the woman's idea of taking the child to life, Zhang Zhide said: "I also sympathize with this mother, it is not easy for a woman to take a child, but if you want to open up everything, there is no obstacle that cannot be passed, and do not cause irreparable tragedies because of a momentary impulse." ”
After the incident, colleagues and friends around also asked Zhang Zhide how the action of jumping out of the car and rushing to save people at that time was so fast. Zhang Zhide said: "I myself did not think about how the action could be so fast, at that time I only had the idea of saving people. ”
"I can save two lives, how can I regret it?"
Zhang Zhide admitted that after watching the car video provided by the company's safety department, he "also felt afraid", "I also felt that it was too dangerous at that time, because if I did not succeed in dragging the mother and son from the guardrail in that second, the next second, when the mother's left foot crossed the guardrail, I might be dragged into the Pearl River together because I could not bear the weight of the mother and son." ”
After being inquired by reporters, Zhang Zhide did not know how to swim, but he did not regret his behavior of fighting to save people. "I can save two lives, how can I regret it?" Moreover, the car is also equipped with life jackets, life rings, life ropes and other water first aid equipment, in case of accidents can also be rescued in time. However, he also suggested that the general public should act under conditions that can ensure their own safety.
