On the morning of March 26th, at the Hukou Bridge in Xiaogan City, Hubei Province, a woman in white fell into the Huán River. In a critical moment, 63-year-old Wang Xiangcheng stepped forward without hesitation, jumping into the icy river from the bridge, which was about 12 meters above the water, to rescue her. With the assistance of firefighters, the woman was successfully rescued. Fortunately, the rescued individual is now out of danger.

Around 8 a.m. on March 26th, Wang Xiangcheng was returning home after a night shift when a young man approached him urgently, saying that a woman had fallen into the river and he couldn't swim.

Without hesitation, Wang Xiangcheng immediately turned back and looked down from the bridge. He saw a woman in white almost entirely submerged in the water, struggling desperately with only her head above the surface.

He then took off his jacket and shoes, climbed over the railing of the bridge, and without hesitation, jumped from the bridge, about 12 meters high, into the icy river, swimming towards the woman.

Due to heavy rainfall in the past few days, the river was turbulent, and Wang Xiangcheng struggled to grasp the down jacket of the woman from behind. Unfortunately, they were both swept further downstream by the river's current. Wang Xiangcheng continued to hold onto the woman, swimming desperately towards the shore.

"I loudly told the woman not to panic, otherwise, not only would I not be able to save her, but I would also be in danger myself." Wang Xiangcheng said. He felt his strength draining away, and he could hardly keep going. "If I were alone, swimming back would have been no problem, but since I finally grabbed her, I couldn't let go." Wang Xiangcheng said he never once thought of letting go throughout the entire ordeal.

At this point, firefighters, who had been alerted by the public, had arrived. They quickly entered the water, swam over, and put lifebuoys around them, helping both of them to safety. Medical personnel from the emergency services were also on-site, and after they were brought ashore, the woman was immediately placed on a stretcher and taken to the hospital.

"I'm not sure how long we were in the water, probably about half an hour." Wang Xiangcheng said. After coming ashore, he realized that his down pants had fallen into the water. After changing into dry clothes, he still felt trembling with cold, his legs were weak, and he couldn't walk. His head also felt dizzy and heavy. Medical personnel from the emergency services saw Wang Xiangcheng's condition and also took him to the hospital.

At present, the woman who fell into the water has been out of danger, and Wang Xiangcheng has also been discharged from the hospital.

It was learned that Wang Xiangcheng is a retired soldier from Fuxing Village, Wolong Township, Xiaonan District, Xiaogan City, Hubei Province, and has been working as a security guard after retirement.

On the morning of March 27th, the Xiaogan City Veterans Affairs Bureau visited Wang Xiangcheng's home to express condolences, and learned in detail about his heroic rescue. They highly praised Wang Xiangcheng's heroic actions and expressed their highest respect to him.

3月26日早晨，湖北省孝感市河口大桥，一名白衣女子掉落澴河。危急时刻，63岁的王享成挺身而出，毫不犹豫地从距离水面约12米高的大桥上，跳进冰冷的河水中救人，最终在消防员的协助下，成功将落水女子救起。目前，被救者已脱离了生命危险。
3月26日早晨8时许，王享成下夜班回家，骑车经过河口大桥，一个小伙子追上他，焦急地说有个女子落水了，而他不会游泳。
王享成立即折返回来，朝桥下望去，只见一白衣女子几乎整个身体浸入水中，只有脑袋在水面上起起浮浮，拼命挣扎。
“我会游泳！”说完这句，他已经脱下了外套和鞋子，翻到大桥栏杆外。没有丝毫犹豫，王享成“扑通”一声从约12米高的大桥上跳下，扎进冰冷的河水中，向落水女子的方向奋力游去。
前两天刚下过暴雨，河水湍急，王享成好不容易从背后拉住落水者的羽绒服，没想到怎么游都游不动。
很快，两个人一起被河水冲往了更远处。王享成始终拉着落水者，拼命往岸边游。
“我大声告诉落水者不要急，不然我不仅救不了她，我自己也会有危险。”不知道拉着落水者游了多久，王享成感觉自己浑身无力，几乎撑不住了。“如果一个人游回去肯定是没有问题的，可是好不容易拉住她，我不可能松手。”王享成说，从始至终，他一丝松手的念头都没有过。
此时，接到群众报警后的消防员也已经赶到。消防员迅速下水，游过来将游泳圈套在他们身上，帮助两人成功脱险。120医护人员也早已在现场等候，两人上岸后，医护人员立即把落水者抬上了担架，送去了医院。
“不知道在水里游了多久，大约有半小时吧。”王享成说。上岸后，他这才发现自己的一条羽绒裤落在了水里，换上干衣服后仍冻得瑟瑟发抖，双腿无力，路都走不了，脑袋也昏昏沉沉的。120医护人员见王享成情况不好，也将他送到了医院。
目前，落水者已脱离生命危险，王享成老人也已经出院。
经了解，王享成是一名退役军人，孝感市孝南区卧龙乡复兴村人，退休后从事保安工作。
3月27日上午，孝感市退役军人事务局党组书记、局长刘茂洲到王享成家中进行慰问，详细了解了王享成救人的经过，对王享成的见义勇为举动给予高度赞扬，向他致以崇高敬意。刘茂洲表示：“63岁的退役军人王享成见义勇为，见证了老兵本色，是孝感的骄傲，也是广大退役军人的骄傲，值得全市广大退役军人学习！”
