When did you last hear of someone not yet a teenager performing Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation to save a senior from cardiac arrest? Never, right? Yet that’s what happened in Jiangsu recently and now the hero has been recognised for his tremendous deed.
It was on 3 October during the morning flag-raising ceremony at Zhenjiang Experimental Primary School that Zhang Hong, a local citizen, took up a banner embroidered with the words, “In recognition of good youth’s bravery in saving the dying and healing the wounded”.
10月3日上午,镇江市实验小学升旗仪式上,当地市民张红举起绣有“表彰救死扶伤的好青年英勇”的横幅。
The recipient was Luo Xingxuan, an 11-year-old student in the school. Zhang had been chosen to present the award given that she was friends with the man whose life Xingxuan had saved.
收件人是该校11岁的学生罗星轩。张被选为颁奖者是因为她和星轩救过性命的那个男人是朋友。
As The Paper reports, Xingxuan and his family went to Dantu Rongchuang Ecological Park in Zhenjiang City on 3 October 3. That day was a scorching-hot 38 degrees Celsius.
据澎湃新闻报道,10月3日,星轩和家人来到镇江市丹徒融创生态园。当天气温高达38摄氏度。
Near to the family, a 60-year-old man suddenly fainted due to heat stroke. Xingxuan took it upon himself to stop others from moving the senior. He ensured that those around dispersed and them began administering CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation ) to the man’s chest.
家附近,一名60多岁的男子因中暑突然晕倒。星轩主动阻止别人动学长。他确保周围的人散去,他们开始对这名男子的胸部进行心肺复苏术。
Zhang as witness said that after a few minutes, her friend woke up as ambulances arrived to pick him up.
目击者张女士说,几分钟后,她的朋友醒了,救护车赶到接他。
Wang Yanbin, Vice Principal at the School, told the media that after citizens sent the banner to the school, Xingxuan’s deeds were introduced during the morning meeting. Recalling the dramatic few minutes, Xingxuan admitted he was nervous at the time, but that he simply saved people instinctively.
该校副校长王彦斌告诉媒体,市民将横幅送到学校后,晨会上介绍了星轩的事迹。回忆起那戏剧性的几分钟,星轩承认当时自己很紧张,但他只是本能地救人。
After the ambulance crew assisted the patient, many other seniors on the scene gathered around to hug Xingxuan. It was only then he reflected that he had done a good deed.
救护人员救助病人后,现场许多其他老人围过来拥抱星轩。这时候他才反应过来,自己做了一件好事。
Wang told the surging news that the school will regularly organize junior students to visit the municipal first-aid science and education experience centres to acquire more knowledge about first-aid.
王告诉澎湃新闻,学校会定期组织初三学生参观市急救科教体验中心,获取更多急救知识。
