“The difficulty was maximum” said he who signed up and participated in the rescue operations during the Laos dam collapse.
Proud! Triumphant return of the heroes of Qinhuangdao International rescue team.
Having different lives and works, they go abroad to carry out rescue projects when they are needed. It sounds like they are superheroes in the movies, but in fact these heroes are around us.
When there are no tasks, they are freelancers, teachers, company employees... but in times of crisis, they put on their uniforms become rescuers, spreading their love in foreign countries.
One of our citizens, Chao Jinjun, is one of them. Not long ago, as a member of the Qinhuangdao Blue Sky Rescue Team, Chao Jinjun participated in the China Blue Sky Rescue Team's trip to Laos for the rescue project of the dam collapse. He therefore became the first person to participate in the international rescue event of Qinhuangdao Blue Sky Rescue.
"I represent not only the Blue Sky Rescue Team but also China", said Chao Jinjun who returned safely on August 6. At Beidaihe Airport, tired, he hugged firmly his teammates, "with your support, I successfully showed our rescuing technique and image to the rest of the world."
On August 5th, the rescue that had lasted for many days ended. The local government staff visited the team members and thanked the Chinese rescue team for their great contributions. Chao Jinjun was very proud of himself for having been able to participate in the rescue event and becoming the first person of Qinhuangdao Blue Sky Rescue team to participate in the international rescue.
Li Fuyuan, captain of the Qinhuangdao Blue Sky Rescue Team, said that there are only a handful of Chinese nongovernmental rescue teams capable of participating in international events. Blue Sky Rescue is one of them. It has gradually become recognized by the international community, winning worldwide attention and appreciation thanks to their good equipment, team members’ excellent technique and continuous enthusiasm for the public welfare.
As the saying goes, the countries’ friendship lies in their people’s feelings. The nongovernmental rescue reflects an international responsibility, members like Chao Jinjun are spreading their love across the boundaries. It also shows the image of China and proves that the Chinese people have outstanding international capabilities and deepen the feelings between the Chinese people and the people of the world.
