On the afternoon of August 13, a perilous scene unfolded in Nihe Village, Tafan Township, Qianshan City, Anhui: a villager was suddenly caught in a flash flood from upstream while working in the river channel. Swept into the middle of the river, he could only cling desperately to a small willow tree to survive. At stake, Ni Linyan, the Party Secretary of Nihe Village, drew on his courage and professional skills of a veteran to rescue the man in less than 10 minutes. His heroic act won widespread praise from the villagers.
