A Chinese worker, who cared for the injured and dealt with a dangerous situation and then got lost in the mountains, has been saved 17 days later.
Gan Yu, a worker at Sichuan’s Wandong hydropower plant（水力发电站）, was on duty with his co-worker, Luo Yong, on Sept.5 when the 6.8-level quake hit southwestern Sichuan Province. Luo prevented flooding by pouring water from the dam before he joined Gan Yu, who stayed behind to give first aid to injured co-workers. Then the pair ran to the plant and turned off the generator（发电机）. They tried to leave the far-away power station, walking around for 20 kilometers. But Gan, who has very poor eyesight, had lost his glasses during the quake and found it difficult to walk in the mountains. They finally decided that Gan should stayput while Luo went looking for help. Luo left Gan some wild fruit and bamboo shoots to eat. Luo was found on Sept.8, but by the time Gan’s pieces of clothing and footprints were discovered on Sept.11, he had disappeared.
Luckily, the story didn’t end here. On Sept.19, a local farmer, Ni Taigao, returned to his village at the foot of the mountain where the power plant is, and heard about the news of looking for Gan. The villager put his local knowledge to use and joined the search. During hours of trekking（艰苦跋涉）, he heard Gan’s weak cries and soon noticed him. There are no superheroes in this story, but ordinary people like the three turned into heroes.
