Accidents happen more often than you think. Every year in China, 3,200,000 people die in accidents. Experts say that the 10 minutes after an accident can make the difference between life and death. This is why learning first aid (急救) is so necessary.
The second Saturday of September is World First Aid Day. First aid mentions the first steps taken to help those who are hurt. They include keeping the person safe from harm, paying attention to their pain, and getting help either by telling other people or calling 120. Basic first aid training teaches you how to deal with emergencies, treat things like burns, bleeding and broken bones. It takes as little as two hours to learn these skills.
You can learn first aid by visiting the official website of China First Aid Training (http://www.chrctc.org.cn/). You can read books or watch videos that can be found on free apps like First Aid Guide. Some hospitals also give courses or even hold first aid camps for kids.
"Learning first aid is good for everyone and it is better to start young," said Wang Jiangshan, a doctor in the hospital's emergency room. It can be good for oneself and others for the rest of one's life.
