On the day of the incident, he happened to be walking home from get off work and walked near the artificial lake in Kumho Park when he suddenly heard a loud "plop". His first reaction was that someone had fallen into the water. Following the sound, a man's head was exposed due to the buoyancy of the water, but he did not call for help. At this time, Zhang Jinhui ran over quickly without any hesitation. "The man who fell into the water was about 10 meters away from me. When I ran over, he had already started to sink to the bottom of the water. The artificial lake is surrounded by protective fences. The walls on the edge of the lake are vertical and there are no slopes. The warning signs around the It said the water was 3.5 meters deep, and there was no one around at the time. If I entered the water rashly, neither of us might be able to get out." In the company, Zhang Jinhui often received safety education.

The person who fell into the water was about three meters away from the shore. To save him, at least four meters of tools would be needed. Looking around, Zhang Jinhui found no usable tools. In desperation, he turned his attention to a willow tree next to him. "The trunk of the tree was about 30 centimeters in diameter, and the diameter of the nearest branch was also 20 centimeters. I stepped on the trunk with my left foot and pulled off the branch with both hands." Zhang Jinhui recalled that he didn't know where he was at that time. He came with so much force that his left leg was scratched by a tree trunk due to excessive force, but he felt no pain at that moment.

The folded branch was about four meters long. Zhang Jin would extend the branch to the person who fell into the water. "The person who fell into the water instinctively grabbed the branch, and I quickly dragged him under the bridge on the south side of the lake. Most of the bridges were dry and people could get down, making it easier to rescue."

After patting him on the back, he slowly started to react. Later, several passers-by He also ran over and asked them to call the emergency number." After the police and ambulance arrived at the scene and saw the drowning person being put into the ambulance, Zhang Jinhui left silently.

"When the ambulance came, I realized that my leg was scratched. I really didn't think too much at the time, and I didn't have time to think about anything. I just felt that I should save people. If I don't save people, my conscience will be uneasy. When asked if he would save people if he encountered this kind of thing again, Zhang Jinhui said without any hesitation: "Yes, definitely! In fact, it's not about responsibility. It's just instinct to help people in need." ." Zhang Jinhui said.

After returning home, Zhang Jinhui did not tell his family about the rescue. It was not until community staff called that their family learned about it. "My family was definitely worried, but more than anything they were proud of me. I didn't mention it to anyone else after that. Unexpectedly, a few days later, the incident was still spread among the folks in the village," Zhang Jinhui said. He also felt scared afterwards. If he had hesitated for a minute, the person's life might have been lost. Fortunately, the best rescue time was obtained for him.
