On March 4, 2017, Zhang Jiuru, a seventy year old one armed sanitation worker in Wanggou Group, Hudong Village, Gupi Town, Suining County, Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, jumped into the cold pond water at the moment of crisis and saved the 7-year-old child to the shore. Zhang Jiu, a 70 year old rural sanitation worker, had his left arm amputated two years ago because of a malignant tumor. At the time of the incident, an old man from Zhang Jiuru's village was playing by the pond with his 7-year-old grandson. When adults were chatting, the little boy rode a bicycle to play. I don't know why he fell into the pool. When everyone found out, the pool water had gone beyond the child's mouth and nose, only his hands were splashing on the water, and he was about to sink. At this moment, an old man with one arm who was cleaning up garbage rushed down from the pond. With a sound of "plop", the old man jumped into the cold pond water. The pond water also did not exceed Zhang Jiuru's shoulder. With only one hand and two feet, he tried to grab the children's clothes and swam to the shore. Because the pond water was bone piercing and the slope was steep and deep, he failed to go ashore several times. Finally, he pushed the child to the shore with all his strength. Just when he thought he was drowning, fortunately, the villagers who came after hearing the news also held hands, forming a "ladder" and pulled him to the shore. The child was saved in time and his life was not in danger. At this time, Zhang Jiuru was out of breath and collapsed on the ground. The child's grandmother directly called Zhang Jiuru as the savior. Zhang Jiuru repeatedly waved her hand and said, "Don't talk about it, anyone will do it!" Later, he quietly turned and left. Zhang Jiuru's story of saving people soon came out, and it was widely spread in the neighborhood.

With all his strength, he pushed the boy overboard

Diving to save people is not easy for a healthy person, but Uncle Zhang, who lost an arm, jumped without hesitation. He knew it was very difficult to save people, and he knew that life and death were unknown when he jumped, but he had no time to think about anything. He even jumped into the water without taking out his mobile phone in his pocket. Zhang Jiu, now 72 years old, is an environmental sanitation worker in the countryside. Two years ago, he had his left arm amputated because of a malignant tumor. At 2:00 p.m. on March 4 this year, Zhang Jiuru, who was responsible for the cleaning of the whole village and the surrounding roads, rode to the south end of the village. An old woman who worked with him as a cleaning lady came with her 7-year-old grandson Shuai Shuai (not his real name). Shuai Shuai rides a children's bicycle and plays on the roadside. When adults were chatting, Shuai Shuai suddenly fell into the pond with a plop. "There is a big pond on the side of the road, and the water in it is more than two meters deep." Zhang Jiuru said, running to the water's edge, he found Shuai Shuai and his bike fell into the water, waving his small hands on the water. Zhang Jiuru immediately jumped into the water. At that moment, he forgot that he had only one arm. "When he got into the water, he found that it was really difficult for me to save people with one hand. Because there is a lot of mud under the pond, the water is deep and the slope is steep, and Zhang Jiuru has been feeling unwell recently. After struggling underwater for a long time, he pushed the boy to the bank. At this time, the villagers who heard the news also held hands to form a "ladder" and pulled the drowning child to the shore. The child was saved in time and his life was not in danger. Later, Zhang Jiuru himself was pulled down by the villagers and tried his best to climb onto the bank.

The villagers all said he was a good man. The government declared him a good man

After landing, Zhang Jiuru gasped and collapsed on the ground. The child's grandmother rushed over and called Zhang Jiuru as a lifesaver. Zhang Jiuru repeatedly waved her hand and said, "Don't talk about it, anyone will do it!" Later, he quietly turned and left. The grandmother of the rescued child told the reporter that both her husband and son's wife were working in other places, and she was alone at home with her grandson. On that day, Sun Tzu ran to the pond to play on his bicycle alone, but somehow fell into the pond. Thanks to Zhang Jiuru, he saved his grandson. When my son learned that he had asked for leave and went to Zhang Jiurujia the other day to buy some gifts to thank him. The grandmother of the drowning child said that she was so frightened that she didn't sleep for days afterwards. In the face of Zhang Jiuru's help, she shed tears with gratitude. The child's grandmother said that his grandson's life was given by his brother Zhang Jiuru, and I don't know how to repay him. This gift is just a token of gratitude. Villager Li Yulan said that she and Zhang Jiuru were neighbors for many years, about the same age. Since she married to this village, she has never heard that he had a red face with the men, women, old and young in the village. Usually, there is something big or small in his family. Zhang Jiuru is always eager to help as long as he knows. "Before his arm was amputated, he was a famous chef in the village. No matter who has red and white affairs, just tell him that no matter how busy he is, he will come to your house a few days in advance to help you cook for you. It's really a matter of dealing with other people's affairs as his own. Even in the busy farming season, he never complained." When the party committee and government of Gupi Town, Suining County learned the situation, Yesterday, someone was sent to check the old man's rescue. Chen Jing, a member of the United Front and Propaganda Committee, said that they were sorting out the materials of Zhang Jiuru's old man who bravely saved the drowning children, preparing to declare him as a good man around Suining County, and organizing to learn from Zhang Jiuru's spirit of standing up and acting bravely in times of crisis among the party members and cadres in towns and villages.

Love lets him get out of the tumor haze and repay the society with love

Now, the story of Uncle Zhang's brave rescue of drowning children has been passed down by word of mouth, which has become a good talk in the town. Uncle Zhang, an old man with one arm, said that a tumor on his wrist many years ago broke his peaceful life and quietly threatened his life. The year before last, after a hospital examination, Zhang Jiuru was told that he needed amputation. The news was like a bolt from the blue, which made him hard to accept. After the amputation, he felt that life was hopeless. It was everyone's love and encouragement that helped him out of the haze. Now, Zhang Jiuru repays everyone with his love. Together with his wife, he undertakes the environmental sanitation work in the village. He sweeps the road and empties the garbage every day. The days are getting fuller and happier. Dators said that Zhang Jiuru was a good person who was willing to help others. He would help anyone who was in trouble. Seeing the child fall into the water, he jumped into the river with one arm to save him; In the face of such praise, he still maintains a simple heart and continues to carry the broom to clean the village. Let's praise the one armed hero!
