On March 14th at noon, in Yichun, Jiangxi, when a tanker truck paused at a traffic light, seizing the opportunity to avoid walking, a young boy darted beneath the vehicle. Had the light turned green and the truck moved, the child's life could have been at stake. Alert to the danger, Mr. Dai, a concerned passerby, swiftly intervened, scolding and educating the boy before obtaining his parents' contact information to inform them of the incident.

Reportedly, the boy, named Zhong, 8 years old and in first grade at a local primary school, was accompanying his cousin, also 8 and in the same grade, to school that day. When they encountered the blocked road due to the truck, Zhong's cousin chose to walk around the back, but Zhong opted for a shortcut, bending down to crawl beneath the vehicle without considering the risk.

Upon viewing footage of Zhong's dangerous maneuver, both he and his family were shaken. Zhong, in tears, expressed his remorse, while police officers and teachers comforted him and provided safety education. Zhong vowed never to repeat such behavior.

In response to the incident, the Yichun Public Security Bureau and local schools decided to conduct safety education sessions at the school to enhance students' awareness of safety during travel to and from school, encouraging them to recognize and avoid potential dangers.
