Our reporter Li Lan - On March 27, five teenagers were playing on a rubber dam west of the bridge at Binhe Park on Huaihe Road in Zhengzhou when two of them fell into the river one after another. One teenager was pulled out by passers-by but had already stopped breathing.
At 1:45 PM that day, officers from the Second Special Patrol Police Team received an emergency call reporting that teenagers had fallen into the water at Binhe Park on Huaihe Road. When the police arrived at the scene, the drowning teenager had been rescued but was no longer breathing or had a pulse. The 120 emergency medical personnel immediately began resuscitation efforts. After 40 minutes of rescue attempts, the boy still showed no signs of life.
Xiaoquan (a pseudonym), who was playing with the deceased, said he and the deceased, Xiaoqing (a pseudonym), were both 10 years old, in the fourth grade of primary school, and lived in Yandong Village, Zhongyuan District. Around 1 PM that afternoon, they came to this place with three other children from their village to play. Seeing a rubber dam under the bridge, all five of them wanted to go down onto the dam and wade through the water. Baby (a pseudonym) almost fell into the river while descending via a nearby inclined ladder but was pulled up by his friends. Subsequently, they all climbed onto the rubber dam. While wading through the water, Xiaoqing slipped into water about two meters deep. When the other children tried to pull him out, Xiaoquan also fell into the water. A young man nearby heard the cries for help and first pulled Xiaoquan out of the water. By the time two other passers-by managed to save Xiaoqing, he had already stopped breathing and had no pulse. After saving the boys, the three men left the scene without leaving their names.
The police officers, accompanied by two older children, went to Xiaoqing's home in Yandong Village where his father, Mr. Zhao, was completely unaware of what had happened. When Mr. Zhao rushed anxiously to the scene, the 120 emergency medical personnel had already declared Xiaoqing dead. Mr. Zhao couldn’t believe that his lively son at noon was now gone. He hugged his son tightly, crying and trying to warm his feet and hands, occasionally slapping his back and urging his son to "spit out the water." Witnessing this, the onlookers couldn't help but shed tears.
"If there had been an adult around to stop the kids from playing on the dam in time, or if an adult had been there to rescue them promptly when they fell into the water, this tragedy might have been avoided!" Officer Chen Song, who handled the scene, reminded citizens to always keep an eye on their children and keep them away from danger!
