The scene photos were taken by Mr. Lei’s wife (the security guard who helped rescue on the right is Zou Jin)
The vice chairman of the neighborhood committee, Mr. Li said that the security guard who saved the person was the pride and glory of the community. "Our committee had already discussed last night (January 23rd), and we decided to give him a bonus, but the exact amount has not been determined yet."
Security guard Zou Jin on duty at the south gate heard Mr. Lei's cries for help and immediately ran towards the river while using his walkie-talkie to call other colleagues for support.
When he reached the riverside, he saw that the person who fell into the water was about to sink. Without even taking off his leather shoes, Zou Jin threw down his walkie-talkie and jumped into the river.
The story of the security guard jumping into the icy river to save someone spread throughout the neighborhood that evening. Everyone praised this security guard as very brave. The eyewitness, Mr. Lei, said that there were still many floating ice blocks on the river surface at the time, "The security guard risked his life to jump into the river and save people, it was truly remarkable."
Mr. Lei couldn't swim, so in panic, he hurriedly turned back to call the security guard, shouting while calling the police on his phone.
Yesterday afternoon, the snow on the riverbank had not melted yet. The informant, Mr. Liu, is the property manager of the neighborhood. He said the deepest part of the river center is 3.5 meters.
Reporter Shen Daofei and Shi Peng verified and reported: Tiyang・Zongliwan is located in the Gouzhuang area, Phase III of the neighborhood is called Jinshui'an, with a river on the west side, about 15 meters wide. Buildings 1, 2, and 3 of the neighborhood are close to this river, with wooden landscapes and railings along the river. On windless winter days, this place is a great spot for sunbathing.
According to Mr. Liu's account, yesterday at around 12:30 PM, an aunt on the 8th floor of Building 3 was cleaning windows when she noticed someone in the river. She shouted from her balcony: "Someone has fallen into the river! Hurry up and save them!" (Note: The weather forecast for the day showed temperatures between 0°C and 6°C.)
The woman is 73 years old. When she was rescued, her limbs were already stiff. After returning home, she covered herself with two quilts, and her family used a hot air blower to blow warm air into the quilt for over 20 minutes before she regained consciousness.
After rescuing the woman, security guard Zou Jin only then felt the bone-chilling cold all over his body.
Zou Jin is 21 years old, tall and thin, from Mengcheng, Anhui Province, and has been in Hangzhou for 10 months. His colleague, Mr. Yi, said that the deepest impression he gives others is his honesty.
In front of some owners and colleagues yesterday afternoon, Zou Jin, who was praised repeatedly, just smiled humbly, constantly rubbing his large hands together.
He used both hands to hook the woman's arms and dragged her towards the shore. By then, several owners and other security guards from the neighborhood had also arrived. Together, they carried the woman who had fallen into the river onto the shore.
Property Manager Mr. Liu said that he had already reported Zou Jin's heroic act to the headquarters, and the headquarters decided to commend Zou Jin at the year-end conference on the 29th. During the rescue, Zou Jin's mobile phone got wet, and the company will provide him with a new one.
"When I touched the woman, her thick cotton jacket was already soaked, and she had lost consciousness," Zou Jin said.
According to her family, after eating lunch, she said she was going to take a walk in the park, but unexpectedly fell into the river.
Following the footprints in the snow, Mr. Lei indeed saw someone moving in the river about four or five meters from the shore, but only the top half of their head was visible above the water.
On January 23rd, Mr. Liu called the Express hotline 85100000 to report: We are in the Tiyang・Zongliwan neighborhood. Just now, an elderly woman fell into the river. After hearing the news, the security guard rushed over and jumped into the river without even taking off his clothes to save her, and there was still ice in the river!
Upon hearing the shout, Mr. Lei and his wife, living on the 4th floor, ran to the balcony to look, but did not see any unusual situation. Mr. Lei was worried, so according to the instructions of the aunt on the 8th floor, he ran to the riverside between Building 2 and Building 1 to check.
