I didn't expect you to remain silent and do a great thing. I want to give you a thumbs up! "Recently, a platoon leader from a certain Rocket Force base received a banner and thank-you letter from the People's Armed Forces Department of Jianshui County, Yunnan Province, and learned about the heroic rescue of a drowning man by the company's second level sergeant Chu Xu during his vacation. On November 21st, Chu Xu, who was on vacation in his hometown of Jianshui, Yunnan, came to the back mountain of Xiaochonggou to herd cattle. On that day, the weather was cold and gloomy, so he went to the small wooden house where the villagers usually rest. Suddenly, he heard cries for help coming from outside. Chu Xu hurriedly ran outside and saw a drowning man struggling desperately in a nearby pond. Without much thought, he quickly ran to the edge of the pond, took off his shoes and coat, and jumped into the water to swim towards the man. After approaching, Chu Xu used one hand to lift the man under his armpit, allowing him to breathe normally, while the other hand vigorously rowed and swam close to the shore, pushing the man ashore. After soaking in the cold pool water for a long time, the man who fell into the water couldn't stop trembling all over when he landed. Upon seeing this, Chu Xu carried him into the wooden house to warm himself by the fire, and took off his coat to put on for him. After a while, seeing that the man was unharmed, Chu Xu left. Later, it was learned that the man who fell into the water often went to nearby mountains to collect herbs to support his family. On the day of the incident, he was washing his hands by the pond after picking up medicine, but accidentally slipped into the pond. Due to the abundance of weeds in the pond, he sank deeper and deeper. Thanks to Chu Xu's timely appearance, he was rescued to the shore. After Chu Xu left, the rescued man realized that he hadn't even had time to ask for the name of his savior. Later, while cleaning the coat left by Chu Xu, he found a military security card in the inner pocket. He then inquired several times through the local police station and the County People's Armed Forces Department before finally finding Chu Xu's home to express his gratitude in person. At this time, Chu Xu had already returned to the army. Thank you to the soldiers for saving me and giving me a second life Upon learning that Chu Xu had returned to the team, the rescued man specially made a banner with the words "Brave and righteous soldiers, noble and heartwarming character" and attached a thank-you letter, hoping that the People's Armed Forces Department could help deliver it. The County People's Armed Forces Department contacted the company where Chu Xu was stationed, which was the beginning scene. The heroic deeds of Chu Xu, who risked his life to save others, were known by the local people and military comrades, and everyone praised him endlessly. In the face of praise, Chu Xu said, "As a soldier, when the people encounter danger, they should step forward as soon as possible!" (Xinhua News Agency)
