Recently, Kaili, Guizhou Province was suddenly hit by a violent wind and heavy rain. Meteorological monitoring data showed that the maximum wind force exceeded level 9 in an instant. An old man and a child were blown to the ground by the strong wind. Fortunately, two teachers who were sheltering from the rain nearby extended a helping hand and pulled the grandfather and grandson to a safe area.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon that day, Kaili, which was originally sunny, suddenly experienced heavy rain and wind.
Yang Yide, teacher of Tianzhu County No. 2 Middle School in Qiandongnan Prefecture: At that time, we just took the students to finish the game and went downstairs to the hotel. As soon as we walked in, it started raining heavily and there was a strong wind. There was an old woman and a child behind us who also wanted to come in to take shelter from the rain, but they were a step too late and were blown down by the wind. Teacher Wang from our school turned around and went to pull the child.
Teacher Yang Yide recalled that the situation was urgent. Teacher Wang Yongcheng, who was traveling with him, was the first to rush up and try to pick up the child. Unexpectedly, he was blown down by the strong wind, and the child was also blown into the flower bed next to it. Teacher Yang then rushed into the wind and rain and moved the old man to the hotel. Later, the child was moved to a safe area by Teacher Wang. Due to timely rescue, neither the elderly nor the children were injured.
Yang Yide, a teacher at the No. 2 Middle School in Tianzhu County, Qiandongnan Prefecture: I didn’t think much about it at the time, because it was right in front of me, and it was something convenient. If I don't help, someone else will.
