少年挺身救落水童

### English Translation Title: A Young Man Rushed to Rescue a Drowning Child

News Summary:
On August 1, 17‑year‑old Gao Jiashuai, a second‑year student at Lingwu City No. 6 High School, was traveling home when he saw a four‑year‑old girl fall into a fast‑moving drainage ditch. The ditch’s banks were steep and the current was strong, making it impossible to jump in from the edge. Gao quickly ran downstream to a simple wooden footbridge. As the child floated to the bridge, he seized her wrist, pulled her safely onto the bank, and stayed at the scene to watch over her until the family and villagers confirmed she was unharmed. Only then did he quietly leave.

On August 5, the Lingwu City Education and Sports Bureau honored Gao Jiashuai. He was awarded the title “Youth Exemplifying Courageous Conduct,” a certificate, and a cash prize. The school’s regular moral and safety education was cited as a key reason he was able to act calmly and effectively. The education department said the story will be widely shared in schools across the city to deepen moral education and emergency training.

Reflection and Insight:
Such an ordinary yet decisive act lets us see goodness and responsibility in everyday life. The Bible’s teaching about loving others, helping one another, and laying down one’s life is not just a vague slogan—it becomes real action at critical moments. Neighborhood watchfulness, children’s safety, routine education and practice can all turn into life‑saving power when danger strikes. May families and schools continue to teach this kindness and safety awareness, training young people to be both brave and wise, and to watch over one another with humility.

Scripture: “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” John 15:13
