Chinanews.com, Changzhi, February 24th, title: "Life-saving stall" on the side of the road: a nurse in Shanxi has taught first-aid skills for free for more than ten years

Others set up a stall to make money, but she set up a stall to "help lives".
At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, just after nightfall, Fan Luxia set up her "first aid stall" in Bayi Square in Luzhou District, Changzhi City, Shanxi Province.
A yellow backpack with regular saline, gauze, bandages and other first aid supplies, a 40cm long plastic doll, a speaker and a red banner are the "properties" that accompany her on the public welfare road of popularizing first aid knowledge.
"Hello, I'm talking about first aid, would you like to listen?" Fan Luxia is a nurse at Changzhi People's Hospital.
For more than ten years, she has often been on the street, teaching citizens first aid skills for free.
Her booth does not sell goods or yell, but only teaches first aid knowledge and life-saving skills.
On the 23rd, after being rejected by waving six times, Fan Luxia ushered in the first audience today.
"How to quickly rescue a child under one year old who chokes on food?"
"After the child choked, his lips and face turned purple, and he couldn't cry. The golden rescue time is only 4 minutes. If it exceeds 4 minutes, the child will be in danger." Fan Luxia said, "First call, Rescue the child as soon as possible during the phone call, hold the child up, hold his mandible with the jaws of a tiger, put the child on your arm, fix his legs to your arm all the time, and then look for him Between the two shoulder blades, pat hard with the heel of your palm 5 times, and if the baby cries 'wow', then he's safe..."
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, Heimlich first aid method...Fan Luxia demonstrated while speaking, and answered everyone's questions tirelessly, and the crowd of onlookers gradually increased.
Speaking of why she launched the road of first aid public welfare, she said that she has worked in the hospital for many years and has seen too many cases of death due to missing the "golden 4 minutes", which makes her feel very sorry.
"I have been working for 30 years. Rescuing and treating patients is the norm at work. In fact, sometimes a simple first aid knowledge may save a life, so I want to popularize first aid knowledge to everyone."
The purpose of setting up "first aid stalls" is to let more people learn first aid common sense.
In the first few years, Fan Luxia would set up street stalls one or two days a month depending on the weather conditions. As people paid more attention to first aid knowledge, the frequency of her charity work gradually increased.
Since 2016, she has gone out almost every night, choosing squares, street corners, and parks with a large flow of people to carry out voluntary popularization of first aid knowledge.
Being rejected, questioned, and slandered are the problems Fan Luxia often faces, but what can support her to continue on the road of popularizing first aid knowledge is the awe of life.
Fan Luxia said, "Maybe you won't be able to use these first aid knowledge for the rest of your life, so that's the best, but if you encounter it, I hope you can use the knowledge you have learned to save more lives."
"Let more people learn first aid skills and be able to save themselves and others." This is also the meaning of her "first aid stall".
