Fighting on the front line to protect the safety of the people
At the age of 19, Li Shengli joined the fire brigade with his "dream of joining the army" and became a firefighter.
For more than 30 years, he has broken into restricted areas, eliminated dangerous situations, and rescued dangers.
Time back to the evening of May 13, 1993, when a fire broke out in the Wanshou Palace Mall, the largest small commodity market in Nanchang. When the firefighters arrived at the scene, the smoke and fire had blocked the passage for residents to evacuate, and hundreds of households were upstairs. Residents are trapped and in critical condition.
Li Shengli, the deputy squad leader of the Nanchang Special Service Fire Squadron at that time, charged forward. He and his comrades successfully evacuated more than 270 trapped people from a height of more than 20 meters.
After the last trapped person was evacuated, the eight-story building collapsed vertically.

The fierce fire was still spreading, and Li Shengli clutched the water gun and continued to charge forward.
In order to cool down, he had to get wet every ten minutes.
After a long, high-intensity fight, Li Shengli's feet softened and he passed out on the spot.
After sobering up, he rushed into the fire again and persisted until the fire was extinguished.
This time, Li Shengli, who was only 21 years old, won the first-class personal merit.
This young man who dared to sacrifice his life in the face of danger has since then gained a nickname - "Desperate Saburo".
Engaged in firefighting work for more than 30 years, Li Shengli has participated in tens of thousands of firefighting and rescue battles, rescued and evacuated more than 30,000 trapped people, and rescued billions of yuan in property damage.

Stick to the original intention, sharpen the sharp edge
Those who are familiar with the fire rescue team know that the special service team is the sharp knife and fist force in the fire team.
In 2018, during the reform and transfer of the fire brigade, some people advised Li Shengli to take this opportunity to change careers: "With so many hard military medals in your portfolio, it is a sure thing to choose a good unit. Besides, you are a foreigner. I can take better care of my family.”
But Li Shengli gave up the "good opportunity" in the eyes of others and made a "silly" choice.
He also gave the reason, "I love the firefighting profession from the bottom of my heart. It is both fulfilling and fulfilling. Doing what I like is the most correct choice. After discussing with my family, they also support me very much, so just stayed."

Li Shengli was unsmiling, with a neat short head and a dark face showing arrogance.
He is either fighting every day, or thinking about how to improve the combat effectiveness of the team.
Li Shengli, who has been fighting in the fire all the year round, knows that firefighters need to be prepared to deal with various emergencies at all times, which is inseparable from a lot of hard training.
As a result, he led the team to make bold innovations, summed up and formulated 48 "special service training courses and operating procedures", and took the lead in launching 25 emergency rescue projects such as "waters, deep wells, climbing, and eliminating dangers" among the fire rescue teams in Jiangxi Province.

Tenderness, bluntly owe family
This iron man who dared to break into the sea of fire was full of guilt and red eyes when he talked about his family. He bluntly said that he owed his family too much, showing a tender side.
On the 19th day of the first lunar month in 2001, a traffic accident occurred on Changjiu Expressway in which a liquefied gas tanker rolled over and leaked. The situation was very critical. Li Shengli was ordered to lead a rescue team.
On the same day, his wife Zhou Shufeng gave birth in the hospital, and Li Shengli was not able to accompany her by his side.
"He's a firefighter. If he doesn't come, there must be something more important." That day, Zhou Shufeng, who was lying in the delivery room, couldn't hold back his tears, but he didn't say a word of complaint.
On September 27, 2002, a fire broke out in Jiangxi Cancer Hospital.
Li Shengli, who was bathing the child at that time, heard the fire alarm message, threw the child in the bathtub and rushed out of the house and into the fire.
"In fact, I was very worried every time he went. I kept it in my heart, but I didn't dare to express it to him. In fact, as long as I can come back safely, the dangers ahead are not a big deal." Zhou Shufeng said.
"Because of the nature of the job, I rarely take care of the family. My wife is almost the only one who supported the family, but she has no complaints. I am really grateful to her, and I really owe my family too much." Li Shengli said.
