4月17日，一位68歲的老人在武漢長(zhǎng)江新區(qū)盛源碼頭附近水域墜江，順江漂流1000余米。幸被2名碼頭工人發(fā)現(xiàn)，迅速駕駛快艇，追趕100余米將其救起。

On April 17, a 68-year-old man fell into the Yangtze River near Shengyuan Port in Wuhan’s Yangtze River New Area and drifted over 1,000 meters downstream. He was eventually rescued by two quick thinking dockworkers who caught up to him following a 100-meter pursuit in a speedboat and pulled him to safety.

17日7時(shí)許，在長(zhǎng)江陽(yáng)邏段，武漢盛源港口船舶服務(wù)有限公司的碼頭工人余濤和秦雙林正在躉船上作業(yè)，發(fā)現(xiàn)上游江面漂浮著一個(gè)人。起初他們以為是游泳愛(ài)好者，并未在意。當(dāng)漂浮的人員靠近躉船約25米時(shí)，兩名碼頭工人看到水下的人正在招手。

The incident unfolded around 7:00 a.m. along the Yangluo stretch of the Yangtze River. Yu Tao and Qin Shuanglin, employees of Wuhan Shengyuan Port Ship Service Co., Ltd., were working on a pontoon when they noticed a person floating in the water heading upstream. Initially dismissing the figure as a recreational swimmer, they grew concerned as the individual drifted closer. When the man approached within 25 meters of their vessel, the workers realized he was frantically waving for help, partially submerged in the river.

“不好，可能有人墜江?！庇酀颓仉p林連忙向公司負(fù)責(zé)人羅盛華反映后，得到了指令：趕緊開(kāi)動(dòng)救援船，救人要緊。兩名碼頭工人帶上救生圈和救生桿，立即開(kāi)動(dòng)躉船邊?？康摹笆⒃唇煌ā蓖?，向漂浮人員追去。

Suspecting he had likely accidently fallen into the river, the duo quickly relayed the situation to Luo Shenghua, the company’s supervisor, who issued the order to launch the rescue boat as soon as possible. The two then drove the Shengyuan Traffic lifeboat, equipped with lifebuoys and rescue poles, in pursuit of the endangered individual.

此時(shí)，漂浮人員抱著一個(gè)包，還在向下游漂。交通艇追趕100余米后，終于靠近了漂浮人員。兩名碼頭工人將綁好繩索的救生圈拋給對(duì)方，隨后齊心協(xié)力，將其拉到艇上。

At that time, the victim, still clutching his bag, was struggling to stay afloat as he was getting swept by currents. Following a 100-meter chase in the speedboat, rescuers ultimately caught up with the man. In a joint effort, the rescue-duo cast a lifebuoy with ropes towards the man and pulled him to safety.

兩名工人詢問(wèn)才知被救的蔣爹爹已68歲，在江水中漂了快兩個(gè)小時(shí)。由于江水水溫過(guò)低，蔣爹爹在艇上冷得直打哆嗦。兩人見(jiàn)狀，忙給老人換上了冬裝，并在發(fā)熱的引擎蓋上鋪上毯子，給其取暖。

Only after further inquiry did the rescuers learn that the rescued Mr. Jiang was 68 years old and had been floating in the river for nearly two hours. Now aboard, the elderly Jiang shivered from his ordeal in the frigid Yangzte waters. The two workers were quick to action as they draped Mr. Jiang in winter gear and spread a blanket over the heated engine hood forming a makeshift heater to keep him warm.

隨后，長(zhǎng)江新區(qū)城管綜合執(zhí)法局工作人員和長(zhǎng)航公安民警也趕到現(xiàn)場(chǎng)，為蔣爹爹送來(lái)牛奶，并煮了一碗面條給他充饑。

Subsequently, the staff of the Urban Management Comprehensive Law Enforcement Bureau in the Yangtze River New Area and officers from the Changjiang Maritime Public Security Bureau soon arrived at the scene. The officers brought milk for Mr. Jiang and prepared a bowl of noodles to help him recuperate from the incident.

老人自述，他在陽(yáng)邏大橋下游200米的江邊意外落水，漂浮了約二個(gè)小時(shí)，都要撐不住了，多虧碼頭工人熱心相助，才得以生還，獲救時(shí)，離落水處已有1000余米。

The elderly man recounted that he accidentally fell into the water by the riverbank, 200 meters downstream from the Yangluo Bridge. After nearly two grueling hours in the river and on the verge of exhaustion, the timely help of the dock workers was his only lifeline. At the time of his rescue, he was more than 1,000 meters away from the location where he fell into the water.
