Fatigue was just the basics, and danger was ever-present. Pan Chengguang had led his men to carry sandbags for a whole day and night and was then ordered to urgently rescue a small village submerged by water.
As everyone braved the heavy rain and waded through the water, moving the rescued villagers, Pan Chengguang, exhausted and holding a child, failed to see a wooden stake being swept down by the rapid current from upstream.
At that moment, the two comrades closest to him saw what was happening. One of them was also holding a child like Pan Chengguang and instantly handed the child to Pan Chengguang, then, with the other comrade, rushed to meet the wooden stake head-on – not only were their comrades in the line of danger, but so were many of the villagers. If they let the stake crash down, a terrible accident was bound to happen.
