The heroic act moved many villagers to tears as they came to visit her. Yesterday, I learned from the hospital that Ke Meihua had temporarily escaped life-threatening danger. Currently, the Yangxin Fenglin traffic police team is investigating the specific cause of the "December 9" traffic accident. (Reported by Weihua) At around 11 a.m. on the 9th, Ke Meihua was helping take care of her neighbor Ke Shui Ping's 11-month-old baby girl, sunbathing at the door. The Jiefu provincial road in front of the house is a must-pass road connecting Yangxin and Jiangxi. There were several children playing by the side of the road. Suddenly, Ke Meihua saw a truck coming from the Yangxin direction. Her neighbor Hu Lihua's two-year-old son, He Maomao, was playing in the middle of the road without realizing that a car was coming. Without time to think, Ke Meihua rushed to the middle of the road with the baby girl in her arms and pulled Maomao back.
At around 11 a.m. on the 9th, on the Jiefu provincial road in Fenglin Town, Yangxin County, 56-year-old farmer Ke Meihua from Shuiyuan Village saved her neighbor's two-year-old boy who was in the middle of the road but unfortunately got hit by a truck loaded with stones. Both her legs were crushed and had to be amputated above the knee. However, the 11-month-old baby girl she held in her arms and the neighbor's boy were both unharmed.
The truck driver realized there were people ahead but it was too late to brake. He quickly turned the steering wheel to the left to avoid them. In a flash, Ke Meihua's legs were unfortunately run over by the right rear wheel of the truck...
In a critical moment, she embraced the baby girl while saving the toddler.
On the morning of the 10th, in the ward of Yangxin People's Hospital, Ke Meihua's bed was surrounded by villagers from Shuiyuan Village and neighboring villages who came to visit her. "If it weren't for her, my child would have been gone long ago!" said Ke Meihua's neighbor Hu Lihua, rubbing her tearful eyes, telling the reporter that she was washing clothes by the well at home and didn't notice her son Maomao running out to play. "If I had let go at that time, my daughter who is not yet one year old might have fallen and gotten hurt!" said Ke Shui Ping, choking back tears.
It is understood that Ke Meihua, aged 56 this year, has four daughters and one son. All her daughters are married, and her fifth-ranked son Hu Qingshun also has a family. Her 60-year-old husband Ke Shanqi collects scrap at home. The couple has always been kind to their neighbors in Shuiyuan Village and is deeply respected by everyone.
