~6 min read 1,184 words

"This is simply deadly, hurry up and think of a solution, speed up the rescue." Yang Xiansheng urged.

"At this moment, Xiao Yuchun, who had already been rescued, saw that Xiao Ming, who should have been rescued long ago, was still not saved, and she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan."

"She grabbed a rescuer and asked anxiously, 'Where is my father? Why hasn't my father been rescued yet?'"

"Miss, don't be anxious." The rescuer furrowed his brows, looking at Xiao Yuchun with gratitude, and said solemnly, "Your father is a remarkable person."

"He told Xiao Yuchun the whole story."

"Some of the crowd present, along with media and reporters, hearing the rescuer's words, all exclaimed in surprise; at a matter of life and death, giving up the chance to be rescued to women and children was truly moving."

"Oh my God."

"How can this world have such a hot-blooded man?"

"One sentence—'save the women and children first'—moved millions."

"Those reporters hurriedly reported the story."

"Hello everyone, this is the scene of the amusement park accident. On the Big Swing, there is a man about to be rescued. At a critical juncture, he gave up his chance to be rescued to a little girl with asthma, and told the rescuers, 'Save the women and children first.'"

"Such conduct is truly admirable and moving, truly full of selfless spirit; such a person deserves our applause."

"As soon as this report came out, netizens exploded!"

"\"Save the women and children first\" is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard in my life."

"Yaya, this is too moving; how can there be such a heroic person? Rare, precious, is there any recognition for such a person?"

"Absolutely recognized; this man makes me admire him greatly."

"Tens of thousands of netizens were all moved to tears by Xiao Ming's action!"

"His words 'save the women and children first' made many people's eyes red."

"……"

"At this moment, Xiao Ming, still trapped on the Big Swing, had reached the limit of his endurance."

"He was actually just an ordinary person in the mundane world, not that noble; he didn't want to be trapped, nor did he want to put himself in such danger."

"But at that time, seeing the little girl's situation so urgent, he couldn't just stand by and watch her come to harm before his eyes."

"This was merely following his personal conscience."

"If he had not chosen to give up his chance to be rescued, and that little girl had an asthma attack and came to harm, he would have been troubled by this for the rest of his life."

"To put his mind at ease, he therefore gave up his chance to be rescued to that little girl, to the women and children."

"He never expected that when his words reached the crowd's ears, everyone would be moved to tears by them."

"Many people didn't know Xiao Ming, so they imagined him as a tall, mighty figure and admired him endlessly."

"This is absolutely a real man."

"……"

"Not long after, Xiao Jingrou and Xiao Yunzhe arrived."

"Also there were members of the Geng Family, Xiao Ming's special assistant Xiao Feng, and others closely related to Xiao Ming, all coming to the accident scene."

"\"Sister! \" Xiao Jingrou rushed anxiously to Xiao Yuchun's side, seeing Xiao Yuchun crying in tears, she also burst into tears and hugged Xiao Yuchun tightly."

"\"Jingrou. \" Xiao Yuchun sobbed, saying, \"Our father still hasn't been rescued, he still hasn't been rescued. \""

"\"He gave up his chance to be rescued and is still trapped, sobbing... \""

"Afterward, Xiao Yuchun told Xiao Jingrou, Xiao Yunzhe, and others the whole story."

"Upon learning that Xiao Ming had actually given up his chance to be rescued to the women and children, everyone felt sad at the same time, and admired Xiao Ming immensely."

"Xiao Jingrou, Xiao Yunzhe, and the Geng Jing Shu family, upon hearing this, all had red eyes."

"Geng Jing Shu embraced Xiao Yunzhe and comforted him, saying, 'Yunzhe, believe that our father will be fine.'"

"\"Jingrou, Yuchun, you're not that upset; our father is such a good person, he will surely be alright. \""

"But at this moment, the three siblings couldn't take in any comforting words; how could they not worry?"

"The three of them had finally found their father after great difficulty, and they were terrified of losing him."

"When the people around heard they were Xiao Ming's relatives, they all gave them looks of pity and admiration."

"A man who looked very dignified walked over and said solemnly and seriously, 'I am Yang something-something of Anjin City; please rest assured, our rescue personnel will surely do their utmost to rescue all the trapped people.'"

"Afterward, Yang Xiansheng and Xiao Feng walked over."

"\"Yang Xiansheng! \""

"Xiao Feng, supporting Xiao Yuchun and Xiao Jingrou and others, came before Yang Xiansheng, greeted him, and asked, 'Can you think of a way to speed up the rescue?'"

"\"The aerial ladder cannot be mobilized for a period of time; we can only use a helicopter. \""

"\"I had already sent people to prepare; even though in a first-tier city like ours, rescue forces are still lacking, and aerial rescue is even harder, I have already notified the city's most capable Excellent Benevolence Rescue Brigade to come for rescue; the helicopter is on its way here; after this, we truly can only leave it to fate. \""

"Yang Xiansheng shook his head bitterly; seeing the weather worsening, his heart sank to the bottom."

"It seems the rain won't lighten; this will increase the rescue difficulty a hundredfold, even a thousandfold."

"In the amusement park, the onlookers, media reporters, and the park's person-in-charge, seeing the weather, all secretly worried for those still trapped."

"By now, twelve tourists have been rescued, while five tourists remain trapped."

"And Xiao Ming is among those trapped."

"His luck was truly terrible to the extreme; it was rare for him to come out and play with his daughter, yet he encountered such a thing, and moreover, most of those trapped were women and children; as a man, his words could not be taken back."

"In fact, women and children are inherently a vulnerable group; he, a great gentleman, who usually would not allow seeing vulnerable people trapped, yet he himself, a great gentleman, fled first."

"Now, all the women and children have been rescued, and his endurance has also reached its limit."

"Just then, heaven did not cooperate; it started to rain, and the rain was fierce."

"Fortunately, the rescue personnel had prepared early, using a huge plastic sheet to shield the tourists, at least keeping them from being drenched by the heavy rain."

"However, because of the incoming heavy rain, the aerial ladder could no longer be used for rescue."

"Facing the strong wind and heavy rain, the aerial ladder swayed incessantly at a height of over forty meters, very likely to snap at the waist; if rescue personnel or those being rescued were to fall from that height because of this, the chance of death would be very high."
