Two students from Guangdong Baiyun University have been publicly commended for their quick thinking and bravery after rescuing a seriously injured Russian motorcyclist in the scenic Jade Dragon Snow Mountain area of Lijiang, Yunnan province. Their story, which unfolded on April 6, was recently brought to light by local media.
The students — Zhou Zhihang and Liang Yaqi, both broadcasting and hosting majors at the university’s School of Media — were hiking back from the mountain around 11:30 a.m. when they heard a loud crash. They soon discovered a foreign motorcyclist who had lost control of his bike and slammed into a roadside guardrail. The man, a Russian national who spoke no Chinese, was lying on the ground with a deep, open wound on his left leg that was bleeding profusely and showed no sign of stopping. He was curled up in obvious agony, clearly suffering from a severe traumatic injury.
While bystanders gathered, a language barrier prevented anyone from effectively communicating with the injured man. Zhou and Liang stepped in immediately. Speaking in English, they calmly reassured him, urging him to remain still while they quickly assessed his injuries. Determining there were no apparent neck or spinal fractures, they applied basic pressure to the wound to stop the bleeding and stabilize his condition.
Zhou then dialed 120 and 110, clearly relaying the accident location and the victim’s condition. Meanwhile, Liang stayed by the motorcyclist’s side, speaking to him in English to keep him conscious and calm during the critical wait for emergency services.
The two students not only helped coordinate the scene to ensure a safe space for the injured man but also voluntarily gave up their travel plans to accompany him to the hospital. There, they served as interpreters and caretakers.
At the hospital, Zhou and Liang helped contact the man’s colleagues in Shenzhen, explained the situation to traffic police, and accurately conveyed the patient’s condition and the medical team’s treatment plan. Zhou even paid out of pocket for emergency registration and diagnostic exams. The two worked together through X rays, diagnosis, and hospital admission procedures, and arranged for a caregiver to ensure the man’s ongoing needs were met. They only left after the victim’s colleague arrived and proper medical care was secured.
Their actions earned high praise from the injured man, his company, and local authorities. Matvei Shubin, general manager of the Shenzhen branch of BORK IMPORT LLC — the victim’s employer — wrote a formal letter of gratitude to the university. “Our colleague was in a desperate situation with a comminuted leg fracture, unable to speak the language or help himself,” Shubin wrote. “Thanks to the timely assistance of these two students — their full-time accompaniment and dedicated care — he was saved from danger. We extend our sincerest thanks.”
The Yulong Naxi Autonomous County Office of Courageous Acts officially recognized Zhou and Liang for their bravery, helpfulness, and professional handling of the emergency. The Maoming City Public Security Bureau also sent a letter of appreciation, praising the students for stepping up in a critical moment and exemplifying outstanding civic virtue.
