Relevant people from the San Shui District Committee and People's Government expressed that the two rescuers were the most ordinary citizens of San Shui, reflecting the most sincere essence of the San Shui people and demonstrating the spirit of the San Shui people. This kind of spirit should be strongly promoted. Next, we need to pay attention to and advocate the spirit of Uncle Fu, and care for and assist his family.
The relevant departments of Foshan City believed that Li Furong disregarded his personal safety in a critical moment to save the woman who jumped into the water, acted bravely, and sacrificed himself to save others. His heroic deeds are worthy of being a role model for future generations.
Yesterday, I learned from the Publicity Department of the San Shui District Committee that after research by the Guangdong Provincial Department of Civil Affairs, they agreed to posthumously recognize Comrade Li Furong as a martyr.
At around 1 p.m. on November 15, Captain Li Furong of the Liao Bao Town Inland Shipping Company was ferrying passengers across the river on the North River section of Liao Bao. When the ferry reached deep water in the middle of the river, Li Furong noticed a female passenger with a child suddenly jump into the river with her child. He immediately jumped into the river to save them. During the rescue process, the female passenger kept pushing Li Furong away, refusing to be saved, but Li Furong continued to persist in saving her. Finally, due to exhaustion and fatigue, he sank into the river and unfortunately sacrificed his life.
Li Furong's heroic deeds were widely praised, and the citizens affectionately called him "Uncle Fu". Various memorial activities were also carried out. When Foshan Party Secretary Li Yiwei met with the family of "Uncle Fu", he believed that "Uncle Fu's" spirit proved that "Foshan is not indifferent, Foshan has great love." Subsequently, the San Shui District Committee and People's Government, and the Foshan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government successively awarded Li Furong and Lu Weiliang, who participated in the rescue at the same time, the title of "Bravery in Justice" and rewarded and compensated the two. Based on the application of the Liao Bao Town Government to declare Li Furong as a martyr, it was reported step by step to the Foshan and Guangdong provincial civil affairs departments.
Our reporter in Foshan (Yang Bo) Yesterday, I learned from relevant departments that the Guangdong Provincial Department of Civil Affairs has officially approved and recognized the "Hero Captain" Li Furong, who sacrificed his precious life for bravery in saving others, as a martyr. The San Shui District Committee and People's Government have scheduled to hold a memorial service at 1 p.m. tomorrow afternoon at the San Shui District Funeral Home.
