The picture shows Mr. Liu who saved a life. Trainee reporter Yang Jing reported from Washington (Yang): Yesterday afternoon, in Longquan Village, Royal Town, Huangpi District, an 8-year-old boy fell into the pond and was rescued by a seventy-year-old man surnamed Liu. After uneventful treatment, the child who fell into the water has recovered. The elderly man who struggled to save the drowning boy is named Liu Huilong and he is as young as 8 years old. At around 14:40 yesterday, Xiaohui Long came to the village pond alone to play. But just as he squatted at the water's edge and stirred the water with his hand, Xiaohui Long accidentally lost balance and fell into deep water. At this critical moment, the 74-year-old Liu Song happened to be passing by. Seeing Xiaohui Long desperately flailing in the water, Mr. Liu had no time to take off his clothes, jumped into the water, and struggled to bring Xiaohui Long to safety. While swimming towards the shore with Xiaohui Long, Mr. Liu grabbed him with one hand and used the other hand to paddle through the water, returning to the shore. Near the shore, cold and exhausted, Mr. Liu couldn't climb up and shouted for help. Hearing the cries for help, many villagers rushed to the pond, busy dividing their efforts between pulling the little old man ashore and immediately notifying Xiaohui Long's parents. Subsequently, Xiaohui Long's grandfather, after hearing the news, rushed him to the local hospital.
The life-saving father lives alone. When reporters saw Mr. Liu, he had already been given dry clothes by the villagers. He sheepishly told reporters that he only had one set of winter clothes, which were now completely soaked. The reporter noticed that Mr. Liu's lips were still somewhat white, and his knuckles were bruised from the cold. It is understood that Mr. Liu is a lonely elderly man, neither having a wife nor offspring. When the reporter arrived, he waved repeatedly: Mr. Liu's cold-shivering body had replaced the wet clothes and even drank two big bowls of hot tea, slightly recovering. The father said that Xiaohui Long was about 34 meters away from the shore when he was rescued. The drowning boy was safely out of danger. The reporter saw at the Royal Town Hospital that Xiaohui Long was sleeping while receiving intravenous fluids, with his grandfather and father by his bedside. The medical staff informed the reporters that due to timely rescue, Xiaohui Long's lungs only contained a small amount of stagnant water, and there was no danger. To avoid infection and fever, he was temporarily admitted to the hospital. Xiaohui Long's father, Liumeng Hua, told reporters that upon hearing of his son's distress, he immediately returned from Huangpi town. Subsequently, the reporter went to the scene to check. The reservoir covers an area with a radius of over 50 meters, and even in waters near the shore, the water depth exceeds two meters, but there is no fence or any other protective measures around. The reporter noted that even though an accident had just occurred, some people were still squatting on the shore of the pond doing laundry.
