Chongqing News (reported by Zhou Yang): "I must make my father proud, live up to his expectations and be admitted into a good university." Yesterday afternoon, Zheng Yu (a pseudonym), age 18, stood in the No. 324 Hospital of Jiangbei District with tears welling up in her eyes, waiting with relatives for the hearse to transport her father's body back to the temporary shrine set up at their home in Gailanxi, Jiangbei.
What Zheng Yu never expected was that yesterday would be the last time her father would ride his motorcycle to take her to school. In the early morning, while on the way to school, her father suddenly fell ill. Despite being rushed to the No. 324 Hospital of Jiangbei with the help of kind-hearted people, he passed away after unsuccessful resuscitation attempts, leaving his family forever.
Father sending daughter to school
Died halfway due to sudden illness
Zheng Yu, aged 18, is a senior high school student at Zishui Middle School. Yesterday was the first day of school. Around 7:00 AM, worried about her being late, her father rode his motorcycle to take her to school.
At around 7:20 AM, when the motorcycle reached the overpass at Hongqihegou in Jiangbei, Zheng Yu noticed the motorcycle gradually slowing down before colliding with the guardrail on the overpass.
Both Zheng Yu and her father fell off the motorcycle. As she fell, her father turned his body to support her back, preventing her from injury.
"Are you alright, Dad?" Seeing blood coming out of her father's nose, Zheng Yu quickly stood up and anxiously asked about his condition.
"I'm fine, call your mom," said her father sitting on the ground.
Just a few minutes later, her father began experiencing dizziness and blurred vision. Zheng Yu quickly dialed 120. "Dad, don't fall asleep. I'll chat with you. Don't fall asleep."

Intercepts a bread van to save lives
As it was early in the morning, there were very few vehicles passing by. Under the overpass at Hongqihegou in Jiangbei, a young man was reading a newspaper. When he saw the situation, he quickly ran over to inquire about what happened.
Before the ambulance arrived, just then a Changan minivan passed over the bridge. The young man immediately stopped the vehicle, helped Zheng Yu's father onto the van, and sent him to the nearest hospital.
Subsequently, the ambulance transferred Zheng Yu's father to the No. 324 Hospital of Jiangbei. After arriving at the hospital, the young man did not leave but took leave from work to help Zheng Yu handle procedures at the hospital and notify her family members, only leaving around noon.
Yesterday morning, Zheng Yu's father ultimately passed away after unsuccessful resuscitation. The family was shocked by this as Zheng Yu's father, apart from having hypertension, had always been quite healthy. The cause of death is currently under investigation by the forensic doctor.
Regarding this warm-hearted young man, Zheng Yu and her family found out that his surname is Huang and he works at a company within the city.
