"Dean Fan is a very responsible and good dean. He does a lot of things by himself. He often says that he doesn't worry if he doesn't look at anything..." The staff who has worked with Fan Yanping for 5 years commented on Fan Yanping.
It is precisely this sense of responsibility in the heart that, for the safety of the primary health centers, Fan Yanping resolutely braved the rain to go to the front lines of the grassroots to check the flood control conditions of the health centers in their jurisdictions when the flood situation was dangerous.
He went to several village health clinics in the northern mountainous area to check housing dangers over and over again, and again and again instructed personnel to transfer files in advance to ensure personal safety.
In the early morning of July 20, when the new dense wind and heavy rain were violent, Fan Yanping led 4 staff from the health center to the countryside to investigate the danger during the flood season. When passing through the Guozhuang Bridge section on the return journey, a flash flood broke out. The health examination vehicle and the people in the vehicle were caught Rushed into the river.
After the accident, the medical worker Liu Bingcan who was rescued that day recalled the situation with tears and said, "The flood rushed the car far away, and I was thrown out. Dean Fan shouted in the car: Everyone should hold hands. Everyone is looking for each other. When the monstrous flood came over, I couldn’t see anything..."
The 52-year-old Fan Yanping has been in the party for 15 years. Since he served as the party branch secretary and dean of Yuanzhuang Township Health Center in Xinmi City in 2016, the changes in Yuanzhuang Health Center are obvious to all.
