Many residents who were strangers to Diao Na went to the hospital to visit her. This report by Sun Fangfang.
Yantai, November 8th (reporters Zhang Jiandong and Sun Fangfang) - On November 8th, Diao Na, praised by netizens as "the most beautiful girl in Longkou," was receiving treatment at the hospital. Many citizens who were strangers to her also came to the hospital to see her. More than ten days ago, Diao Na was hit by a car while saving a woman. The family of the perpetrator has been taking meticulous care of Diao Na every day, which moved Diao Na's entire family. Accidents are merciless, but people have feelings. A rescuer, the rescued, and the perpetrator—three originally unfamiliar families became acquainted due to an accident.
On November 8th, I saw Diao Na recovering at the orthopedic ward of the Longkou People's Hospital. She is 24 years old and works at the Longkou Nanshan Group. Diao Na recalled that on the afternoon of October 23rd at around 6 p.m., she and her husband drove home after work and passed through a narrow section of Tonghai Road in Longkou where they found a woman lying in a pool of blood in the middle of the road. It was drizzling and it was rush hour; this woman could be hit again at any time. "At that moment, I thought of Xiao Yueyue," said Diao Na. To prevent the victim from being run over again, Diao Na and her husband called 122 and 120 while standing in front of the woman and waving their hands to direct traffic. "The victim was heavy, and my husband and I couldn't move her, so we had to find a way to warn passing vehicles."
Diao Na began waving to the first speeding truck that approached, then the second, third... After more than ten vehicles had passed, Diao Na realized she might be hit by a car going too fast, so she asked her husband to fetch a reflective sign from the car. At this moment, another unfortunate incident occurred. A speeding car failed to avoid her, and its side mirror knocked Diao Na down.
After diagnosis by the hospital, Diao Na had two fractures in her right calf, one of which was comminuted. During the half-month period of surgery and recovery, Ms. Du, the mother of the driver responsible for the accident, came to the ward every day to bring meals and stay with her. The driver also visited the hospital multiple times to apologize, and all medical expenses were paid in full and in advance.
Wang Yuanyuan, the person who was saved and currently being treated in the same hospital, had just regained the ability to speak. This car accident caused her ten broken ribs, intracranial bleeding, and nerve damage; her mouth still twitches uncontrollably. Wang Yuanyuan said that on that day, while riding her motorcycle home, she felt a bump and then lost consciousness after being hit. The perpetrator fled the scene. When she woke up, she learned that Diao Na risked her life to save her. On November 8th, Wang Yuanyuan's family presented a banner to Diao Na. Currently, the three families often meet. Wang Yuanyuan expressed that once her body recovers, she will definitely go to visit this good younger sister and thank her for saving her life.
"I don’t want the tragedy of Xiao Yueyue to happen again."
Diao Na’s right leg injury is obvious, but she does not regret it at all.

A fashionable and pretty young girl got hit herself while trying to stop cars to save someone else, showing everyone her even more beautiful heart. On the evening of October 23rd, 24-year-old Diao Na from Longkou used her own body to create a lifeline for an unfamiliar woman on her way home from work. She was hailed by netizens as "the most beautiful girl in Longkou."
Netizen comments:
Netizen 'Nifengxingshi': If the rescued knows gratitude, the perpetrator knows redemption, and more conscientious rescuers appear, our society would be so beautiful.
Netizen 'Gangtielie': Salute to the small hero. Wishing Diao Na a speedy recovery.
Netizen 'Bchinababy0110': May good people always be safe! Bless you, the most beautiful girl! You are the pride of Yantai, Shandong, and China!
Netizen 'Zhi Zai Gaoyuan': After the Xiao Yueyue incident, we need more good people like Diao Na to purify social morals.
Netizen 'Chang Feng': In this traffic accident, the attitudes of all three parties were very positive. Great!
Rescuer Diao Na: “Trading a leg for a life, worth it!”
On November 8th, next to Diao Na's bed was a white iPad. Diao Na, whose face looked a bit pale, told the reporter that her biggest hobby is browsing online, which has become her only form of entertainment during her hospital stay.
Diao Na is a sales manager, only 24 years old. In the eyes of her colleagues, she is a beautiful and fashionable girl. "She has been newly married not long ago, and this happening is quite heartbreaking. But her righteous actions make us admire her greatly," a female colleague said.
When asked why she stopped her car to help on October 23rd, Diao Na paused briefly and said: "It was about 6 p.m., dusk, with light rain, and poor visibility on the road. I saw a woman lying in the middle of the road, covered in blood. Suddenly, the face of Xiao Yueyue reported by the media recently flashed in my mind, and without hesitation, I asked my husband to stop the car. I felt that this injured woman needed my help."
Tonghai Road is a busy main road in Longkou. It was also rush hour, and Diao Na and her husband quickly judged that the injured woman was still in great danger, possibly facing secondary impact like Xiao Yueyue.
"I am not the most beautiful girl. I just thought, if Xiao Yueyue had met me at that time, I would certainly step forward to take her to the hospital. This is just not wanting the tragedy of Xiao Yueyue to happen again. Trading a leg for a life, worth it!"
Saved Person Wang Yuanyuan: "You are my forever good younger sister"
The woman saved by Diao Na is named Wang Yuanyuan, 29 years old. When I saw her at the neurosurgery ward of the Longkou People's Hospital, she had just regained the ability to speak. Wang Yuanyuan said that on that day, she was riding her motorcycle home along Tonghai Road after work, around five-thirty, when she suddenly felt pushed from behind and then lost consciousness. When she woke up, she was already in the emergency room.
Wang Yuanyuan's husband was extremely grateful for Diao Na risking her life to save her. He said, "Initially, we did not know that Diao Na protected my wife with her body, allowing her to survive. Later, the family of the person who hit Diao Na found me and told me about Diao Na's heroic act of saving lives, and we learned about it." He added, "In these few days, the three families have met frequently. They gave Diao Na a banner. Now my wife hasn't yet gotten out of danger, but once she gets better, we will definitely visit to thank the savior." Wang Yuanyuan talked to Diao Na on the phone, emotionally saying, "You will always be my good younger sister, hoping we can both stand up together."
Perpetrator's Mother: "Diao Na is also my son's lifesaver"
"Diao Na not only saved Yuanyuan's life, but also saved my son's life. Regardless of my pregnant daughter-in-law, I must take good care of her," said Ms. Du, the mother of the driver who hit Diao Na, in Diao Na's ward on November 8th. During Diao Na's recuperation, Ms. Du stayed by Diao Na's bedside every day.
Ms. Du said that if there hadn't been Diao Na standing in front of the injured person, her son would definitely have hit the injured person on the road, leading to unimaginable consequences. If that had happened, her son's life would have been ruined. Diao Na is not only the lifesaver of the injured woman but also her son's lifesaver, "Diao Na is a good person. My son made a mistake, and our whole family must unconditionally compensate her. If possible, I would willingly trade my leg for hers."
During the half month, Ms. Du brought meals and stayed by Diao Na's bedside every day. Her son and husband also visited the hospital multiple times to apologize, and all medical expenses were fully prepaid in advance. The sincere attitude of Ms. Du's family made Diao Na and her mother Ms. Wang feel somewhat uneasy. Ms. Wang said, "Seeing the scars that will never disappear on my beautiful daughter's legs, I initially had unresolved grievances, even thinking I would never forgive them, but the compensatory behavior of the perpetrator's mother moved me. She also had it tough, and we ultimately forgave the driver."
First call between the saved person and Diao Na
"Hope we both stand up together"
In the ward, Wang Yuanyuan suddenly remembered asking the reporter for Diao Na's phone number. In the same building separated by six floors, the two sisters who became acquainted due to a car accident but had never communicated before, finally connected on the phone. Although Wang Yuanyuan's speech was unclear, her words were filled with deep emotion.
Wang Yuanyuan: "This is Wang Yuanyuan whom you saved, little sister, how are you now?"
Diao Na: "Is that you? Sister, I'm fine."
Wang Yuanyuan: "I feel guilty that you can't wear skirts anymore."
Diao Na: "Saving you means I can't wear skirts, so what? Sister, don't be so formal."
Wang Yuanyuan: "I really want to see what you look like and shake your hand."
Diao Na: "Me too."
Wang Yuanyuan: "You are my forever good younger sister, hoping we both recover and stand up together."
Diao Na: "Sister, let's make it official."
