Jump above 12 meters! Jumping into the River to Save People, Brother Peng Qinglin: I just want to be an ordinary good person. Swimming | Jumping into the River | Being a Good Person

Jump up to 12 meters

On June 13th, Peng Qinglin, a delivery boy from Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, jumped off a bridge over ten meters high to save a woman who had jumped into the river and died. He pulled her back from the brink of death. After diagnosis, Peng Qinglin was diagnosed with a compression fracture of the thoracic vertebrae. The treatment plan given to him was bed rest in a flat position with intravenous infusion and external application of traditional Chinese medicine. Now, bed rest is also important.

Last week was Peng Qinglin's rest week, but with nothing to do, he still decided to take orders and deliver packages. Around 12 o'clock on June 13th, he received a delivery order for his mobile phone, stating that the Xixing Bridge was a must pass route.

Peng Qinglin: There's something wrong in the middle of the bridge. There's a traffic jam ahead, it's strange. Why is there a traffic jam? There weren't many people on the bridge, everyone looked down at the bridge. Someone jumped into the river, and I went to watch.

Peng Qinglin: Yes, standing around and looking, why is there still a woman? I personally feel that she can swim, do I think she is swimming?

Peng Qinglin: No, because I saw that she feels like she can swim and doesn't need to be rescued. The person in front is not leaving yet, still looking there, and I am also looking there. Looking at them, I realize something is wrong. I personally feel that she may be weak and has already sunk.

Peng Qinglin did not receive formal swimming training, but when he was young, in his hometown of Hunan, he often swam in the river, so he had experience in judging a person's condition in the water.

Peng Qinglin: Because I have also drank water myself.

Peng Qinglin: Yes, I was choked. Sometimes when we lose strength, we can lie flat and rest. Ordinary people don't know how to do it. Without that posture, we can only stand up, struggle, and sink. She is still sinking, which is already very dangerous. I took off my shoes and hat, threw away my glasses, and he asked me why? I said jump down to save people.

At this crossing, Peng Qinglin stood on the bridge pier outside the railing from the position of onlookers. This location is 12 meters away from the river, equivalent to a height of 4 floors. Standing here, Peng Qinglin did not immediately jump down.

Peng Qinglin: Because I have never jumped over such a high water surface before, I know that it is very dangerous to jump in the wrong position. Maybe someone else saved the two of us, or maybe I jumped in the wrong position, and there might be no one left.

Peng Qinglin: I still have some confidence in myself, give it a try.

Peng Qinglin: The woman can't do it anymore. I said I called the police and they will come in five minutes. Can you wait? If you can wait, you can go and wait. I can also see that the woman has started to have a desire for survival. She may have regretted it herself, and after taking a few sips of water, she may have truly regretted it because drinking water is very uncomfortable.

During the period from 13:08 to 13:00 on June 13th, the Hangzhou 110 Command Center's receiving platform received the same alarm continuously, which was that someone fell into the river from the Xixing Bridge towards the Binjiang direction. On duty police officer Liu Chaoyu from the Qianjiang Water Police Station led four auxiliary police officers, including Shao Zenghong, Chen Shiguo, and Wang Youguo, to rush to the scene. At the same time, police officer Gu Dongbo from the Wangjiang Police Station of the Shangcheng Branch was also driving to the scene. According to the monitoring records, Peng Qinglin jumped into the water at 13:12:24.

Peng Qinglin: Maybe the posture is not quite right.

Peng Qinglin: It's similar to what I expected, but it's not as beautiful as I imagined. Normally, my waist wouldn't flash, but when I went into the water from behind, it felt so uncomfortable all over me. The water poured in an instant, and I choked on two mouthfuls of water.

Peng Qinglin: Yes, I didn't cover my nose. The water pressure was very high, so I poured it down hard.

Peng Qinglin: It's very hazy. Take a deep breath quickly and go straight up.

Peng Qinglin, who emerged from the water, immediately determined the location of the girl who had fallen into the water.

Peng Qinglin: Once I confirmed the direction and swam over, I pulled her up first. I said to her, "Don't move around.".

Peng Qinglin: Yes, she reached out to grab it. She had a desire to survive, and she didn't move around. If she had moved around, I would have had to change the way she did it.

Peng Qinglin: Yes, our weight levels are a bit different. Fortunately, she didn't move too recklessly, otherwise it would be really dangerous.

At that time, the kind-hearted person on the bridge brought two lifebuoys and threw them beside Peng Qinglin. He put one on the girl's body and the other swimming ring for himself. At this moment, the speedboat from the water police station arrived at the scene, and 50 year old police officer Liu Chaoyu also jumped into the river to rescue together. The water police rescued the drowning girl from the speedboat, but Peng Qinglin did not board the speedboat. He chose to swim to the shore on his own because his electric car was still on the Xixing Bridge.

Peng Qinglin: I didn't get on the boat. I feel that the riverbank is not far either. When I saw four or five bridge piers, it was only a short distance. I swam by myself, and halfway through, I regretted it.

Peng Qinglin: Maybe I'm wearing clothes and pants, it's so laborious and tiring. I just lay down for a while, and it should have been two or three minutes. I'll take a break first, I'm already exhausted. The first thing I said after getting ashore was that I seemed to have dodged to my waist, but I still have to work. I still have orders on hand, and I haven't finished delivering them yet.

Peng Qinglin: It's not just a dozen yuan, it's a responsibility. If the item is sent to you, since you have received the delivery fee, you have to deliver it to the customer.

Peng Qinglin: At that time, it might have exceeded the time limit and there was no way. The sender called and said, "Little brother, how long do you have this takeout?"? The guest urged. I said there may be five minutes left.

Peng Qinglin: No, there's nothing to say about it.

Peng Qinglin: No, I haven't talked to my dad or my family.

"I feel like I'm out of touch with heroes."

With the widespread attention paid to life-saving videos, Peng Qinglin's experience has also quickly spread: Peng Qinglin, from Zhangjiajie, Hunan, worked as a food delivery worker in Hangzhou for over a year. Prior to this, he had worked as a colorist in his hometown's leather factory, but due to health reasons, he quit his job and chose cycling. He has experienced riding from Guangzhou to Beijing and from Guangzhou to Lhasa. Such experiences are destined to bring profound experiences to people.

Peng Qinglin: You may not know the feeling of being helped, just go through it yourself.

Peng Qinglin: Like I used to ride a bicycle, I remember very clearly that day. When I just entered Xizang, the weather in Xizang was changeable, and it was hail. I also wore a short sleeve because it was very cold in June, and it was all wet. That person said you come over there, take shelter from the rain, bake a fire, get you some clothes to wear, and think from your own perspective.

Peng Qinglin: Yes, anyway, we just can't disappoint others, we need to pass on this kindness.

From riding bicycles to delivering takeout and express delivery, Peng Qinglin found something consistent in these two vastly different lifestyles.

Peng Qinglin: I just love the feeling of being on the road. I'm riding an electric bike now, and I always keep a few umbrellas in my suitcase. Do you know why? Because sometimes it rains, when I see a child getting wet, I give him an umbrella because I have been helped by others. When I was delivering takeout, it rained. I got wet and didn't wear a raincoat or an umbrella. An aunt said, "Young man, I see you're all wet. Can I get you an umbrella?"?

Peng Qinglin: Yes, I am deeply moved. You've seen too much, people will gradually change.

On June 14th, the Hangzhou Public Security Bureau awarded Peng Qinglin the First Class Public Security Honorary Medal; The Hangzhou Foundation for Justice awarded him the honorary title of an active volunteer with a prize of 30000 yuan; The Hangzhou Civilization Office awarded him the honorary title of "Hangzhou Good Person". At the same time, Peng Qinglin's delivery platform awarded him the title of "Pioneer Rider" and a cash reward of 50000 yuan.

After a comprehensive medical examination, there was no significant damage to Peng Qinglin's internal organs and skin. But directly entering the water from a high place, the tension of the water caused compression fractures in his thoracic vertebrae, with local bleeding and edema. Currently, a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine is being used for conservative treatment. If Peng Qinglin strictly abides by medical advice, his body will receive comprehensive recovery, and his life will eventually return to tranquility.

Peng Qinglin: I used to say a thing, you know my name, but you don't know my story. Please don't always judge others, you don't know what others are like. Like our delivery guy, any job is actually the same.

Peng Qinglin: Yes, it's good to do good things. Helping others doesn't matter what profession you work for. I feel like this kind of person exists in any profession. Sometimes, when you casually do something, you really don't know if you can change someone. I am just someone who has been changed.

Peng Qinglin: My understanding of heroes is that those soldiers who work hard on the front line, especially in the border areas, are true heroes. It feels strange to call me a hero like us, but I feel like it's not in line with this.

Peng Qinglin: I don't think this is anything special. I hope he can stand in my shoes. It really doesn't matter what I said, but I don't know why the response was so loud? I feel a bit scared.

Peng Qinglin: Yes, I just want to be an ordinary good person and pass on this spirit.
