Xu Qiankai saves an old woman from a train accident. [Photo/thepaper.cn] A man who risked his own life to save an elderly lady crossing the railway tracks, has had his leg amputated. When Xu Qiankai, a worker at Rongchang railway station in Chongqing municipality, shunted trains as usual on the afternoon of July 6, he found an old woman crossing the tracks. Xu signaled the driver to stop the train while whistling to warn the old woman of the danger. However, the woman seemed oblivious to the looming danger and kept moving forward. Just before the woman was about to be hit by the train, Xu jumped off the moving carriage and pulled her away from the danger. The woman suffered only minor bruise while Xu's right leg was crushed by the train. After being rushed to hospital, doctors amputated the 29-year-old's injured leg. Cai Benshan, who was saved from being hit by a moving train, kneels down to pay her gratitude to Xu Qiankai at hospital.

One of his co-workers described Xu as a humble and warmhearted man, who often uses his spare time to voluntarily work for the railway station. After the incident, the old woman, Cai Benshan, and her family went to hospital to express their gratitude to Xu. According to local residents, Cai has difficulty in hearing. Li Yi, the director of Rongchang railway station, said Xu's medical bills will be paid by the station. Xu is a former soldier.

Click here to watch the video. A video shot recently shows a drone carrying medical supplies landing in the mountaintop village Atuleer in Liangshan Yi autonomous prefecture, Southwest China's Sichuan province. The medical drone delivery service, the first of its kind in the country, jointly launched by China's second-largest e-commerce website JD, and China Siyuan Foundation for Poverty Alleviation, has been started to help deliver essential medical supplies to villagers in Atuleer. The village, home to 500 residents living atop a cliff more than 1,400 meters high, became famous a year ago when reports emerged of villagers braving the vertical climb on the cliff to go in or out of the village. With the help of the drone, it only takes 10 minutes to deliver medical supplies, while before this the villagers had to use the ladders to buy medicines and it usually took six to nine hours to complete a round trip. Villagers are unable to get sufficient medical care as the local health service is still very poor. Medical drone delivery can help improve the condition with lower costs, said Sun Zhixiang, vice-president of JD. The village now has a newly built steel ladder and internet, as well as 4G signals.
