Top news reporter Zhang Yi
"As the name suggests, Cao Ershuai, you are really handsome!"
"Such a rush of water, he used a pair of hands to save the lives of the mother and daughter in a few seconds, salute!"
Cao Er Shuai saved people instantly
Recently, a video of saving people in just a few seconds has been circulated on the Internet, touching countless netizens. In the video, a man pulls a mother and daughter from the rushing water into a fire truck and gets out of danger, while the rescue man turns away.
Until the video of his rescue was taken by passers-by and uploaded to the Internet, people knew through his clothes in the video that his name was Cao Ershuai, an installer of Zhengzhou Huadi kitchen utensils, and a retired firefighter, before saving the mother and daughter, he also rescued a man and two women.
"I'm a veteran firefighter and it's my instinct to save people"
On the afternoon of July 24, the top news reporter met with Cao Ershuai.
He told reporters that on July 20, he was preparing to go home after doing a single job in Meijiayuan, Biyun Road, Zhengzhou City, thinking that it was an ordinary rainstorm, but he did not expect to just leave the east gate of the community, and before he reached the main road, he broke anchor, and after a while the water became deeper and deeper, and slowly flooded from the wheel to the position of the cigarette lighter of the center console.
He worked as a firefighter in the Zhengzhou Fire Brigade for 5 years
In Zhengzhou under the heavy rain, the road is full of foam garbage cans and other debris. Cao Ershuai, who was on a video call with his brother, found that in the water, a person was vaguely seen being washed over, and his shoulders and hair were faintly visible. "If you look closely, someone was really washed up by the water, and the water was too deep for the car door to open, so I rolled down the window and jumped out to rescue her."
"I didn't think much of it at the time." Cao Ershuai said that at that time, the water was very rapid, the flow rate was about two meters per second, and if I did not save her, she would definitely be washed away. And the main road is downhill, the water floods the waist, and if you want to save it later, you can't save it, you can only wait for the downstream people to rescue, which is more dangerous.
After a while, a man on the other side of the road also tried to rescue a girl who fell into the water, but he did not stand still and fell into the water. Cao Ershuai jumped into the water and swam over to catch one in one hand, taking the two to the high ground of the nearby Yangtze River Hospital. However, less than ten minutes later, when a group of people about 20 meters upstream crossed the road arm in arm, a mother and daughter did not stand at the end of the line, were swept by the water, and floated down the current.
The company issued a condolence payment of 50,000 yuan to Master Cao
At this time, Cao Ershuai swam to the mother and daughter again, grabbed the collar of one person with one hand in the rapids, grabbed the arm of one person with the other, and struggled to walk towards the fire truck on the side of the road, and the turbulent water rushed him unsteadily, until the whole body hit the front of the fire truck and stopped, this picture was also filmed by passers-by.
Cao Ershuai, who rescued the mother and daughter in the fire truck, was surprised to find that two of the five police soldiers on the car were his old comrades-in-arms, Zhang Banchang and Liu Banchang. "They asked me what I was going to do, and I thought that if I followed the fire truck, I might be able to help more people, so I followed them and didn't go home until the early hours of the morning."
"A lot of people ask me what I thought before I saved people, but I didn't have any ideas, I just wanted to save as many people as I could, because I was a retired firefighter." Cao Ershuai said.
30 minutes brave to save 5 people, the company awarded him 50,000 yuan and a car
"The next day, Cao Ershuai did not come to work, and he was more worried about his safety, so he called to ask about the situation, he just said that he had spent the night at the aid station, and there was no way to arrive in time, and he didn't say anything else." Yao Shuping, manager of Zhengzhou Fengying After-sales Service Company, said in an interview with the media that it was still colleagues who saw this video on their mobile phones and recognized our tooling, and it was determined that it was he who saved people.
On the afternoon of July 24, Mr. Wang Cao, vice president of Vantage Co., Ltd., came to Zhengzhou and sent the company's reward of 50,000 yuan in cash and a new car to the hero Cao Ershuai.
"Master Cao's act of sacrificing himself and self-denial touched netizens and touched everyone in the company." Wang Cao said that Master Cao's car was blistered when he was saving people, so the company decided to reward him with a new car, hoping that he could drive a new car to bring positive energy to more users.
Wang Cao said: "Master Cao is a foreigner, who was a soldier in Zhengzhou before, and after he retired from the army, he took root in Zhengzhou, which should be regarded as a new Zhengzhou person, and the economic pressure is relatively large, so in addition to changing his car, we also gave him some condolence money, hoping to improve his life and have a fuller mental state into the next life." ”
