China News Service, Hefei, March 7 (Liu Honghe and Zheng Ru) "Be courageous and wise when seeing justice. The new youth in the new era have the unshirkable responsibility!" Recently, a young man from Wuhe County, Bengbu City, Anhui Province, once sneaked into a pond and broke a car window to save others. Xie Xiaohu received the honorary certificate of "Bengbu Good Person" and wrote the above words in his circle of friends on the social platform.
On the morning of August 24, 2023, in Wuhe County, Bengbu City, Anhui Province, a white car accidentally rushed into a fish pond. A female driver was trapped in the car and the situation was urgent.
The fish pond where the vehicle fell into the water was located in a remote location, with few vehicles and pedestrians coming and going nearby.
At this time, Xie Xiaohu happened to pass by the fish pond here. He usually likes fishing and habitually glanced at the fish pond. He felt that there seemed to be something in the pond. He ran to the pond and found that it was a white car. The car fell into the fish pond and was slowly sinking.
It was high water season, and the water in the fish pond was deeper than usual. The water had already reached the female driver's shoulders, and her breathing was about to be endangered.
Seeing this, Xie Xiaohu didn't have time to think too much, so he jumped into the pond, broke the car window, pulled off the driver's seat belt, and dragged the driver out of the car.
In the end, he exhausted all his strength to rescue the female driver ashore, took out mineral water to help her clean the foreign objects in her mouth and nose, and calmed the driver's emotions on the shore.
"My heart was always tense at that time. Although I can swim by myself, I have never tried to swim with someone else. When I got to the shore, I had no strength in both legs. Fortunately, the lady who fell into the water was not seriously injured. I can also breathe a sigh of relief." Xie Xiaohu recalled.

Afterwards, the rescued female pilot's family found Xie Xiaohu through various efforts and sent him a banner for his bravery. They also wanted to repay him with a large sum of money for saving his life, but Xie Xiaohu politely refused.
This incident later spread in the village, and the villagers also praised Xie Xiaohu.
"The act of saving people is more important than getting the honor itself." Xie Xiaohu said that as a young man in the new era, he hopes to pass on this spirit of courage and courage. When others encounter difficulties and dangers, everyone can lend a helping hand. hand.
