On the morning of May 29, around 8:40 am in Hangzhou, southern China, a female driver experienced sudden physical discomfort while driving on the Rainbow Expressway near Jianghui Road. Forced to stop her car and activate her hazard lights, she sought help.

Passing firefighter Fu Chenzhe noticed her distress and immediately pulled over. Rushing to her side, he found her hands and feet stiff and her face pale. Without hesitation, Fu called 110 and 120 for emergency assistance, staying with the driver to provide support.

Responding to the call, officer Zhou Dong from Hangzhou Traffic Police's Elevated Road Division quickly arrived on the scene. Assessing the driver's condition, Zhou and Fu decided to move her to the back seat of her car, with Zhou driving to a nearby safe area by a police post to await the ambulance.

During the wait, Zhou calmed the driver and used her phone to contact her family, urging them to meet at the hospital. Seven minutes later, the ambulance arrived. With the help of Zhou and Fu, paramedics swiftly transferred the driver onto a stretcher and took her to Xiaoshan First People's Hospital.

The driver was diagnosed with respiratory alkalosis but, thanks to the prompt rescue, she is now out of danger and receiving further treatment in the hospital.

Grateful, the driver and her family extended heartfelt thanks to Zhou and Fu. The two rescuers, however, humbly stated that they were just fulfilling their duty, as saving lives is their responsibility and mission.
