In 2023, swimmer Jiang Jiaojiao died saving a drowning child during a seaside team-building activity.
In 1964, Lin Baoni saved a drowning soldier but died from exhaustion in the sea.

"Anywhere you want to go, we'll go too. Look at Old Gu's smug face, grinning so wide his teeth are showing. It's like nobody knows he's going out; he's getting less and less reserved."
Commander Mu also complained to his in-laws, saying, "Really, can't they be a little more low-key? They're so old, why do they still have to hold hands when they walk? Are they afraid of losing them or dropping their cards?"
"Don't talk about Liu Jiu's father. I envy Liu Jiu's mother. Is it just because she can go out and play? I envy that she doesn't have to be a nanny to take care of you old and young."
Gu Ye cooks and cleans at home, he's good at everything. And you, besides reading the newspaper, watching the news, and going out to play chess, what have you been doing? Have you cooked me a meal or washed my clothes? I feel like I'm getting old and not living as well as I used to. Before, I had housekeepers to help with chores, but now I have to do everything myself.”
The more Nanfang's mother talked, the more aggrieved she felt. She pinched Commander Mu hard and walked home without looking back.
“This woman is really outrageous, pinching so hard. If you’re tired, just hire a nanny. Who told you to imitate Liu Jiu’s mother? She’s enjoying her life as a couple, while we have a child at home.”
Commander Mu rubbed his arm and slowly walked home. Finding a nanny needed to be put on the agenda. What could he do to help? He had never done this before and could only make things worse.
"Old Mu's arm is bruised, and I saw Nanfang's mother exerting a lot of force."
"Stop gloating. They have it tough too. At their age, taking care of children takes a toll on their physical and mental strength. We're lucky to have such good children; we don't have to work so hard."
Bonnie felt that her child was exactly the ideal child she had ever had, and she could wake up laughing in her dreams.
"Isn't Mu Nanfang their child too? It's their fault for having so many children. We were so farsighted, otherwise we wouldn't be living so carefree."
Gu Ye thought about his tubal ligation surgery, and it was all worth it. Although he was ridiculed, he didn't let his wife suffer, so it was worth it.
Gu Ye carried a vegetable basket in one hand and held Bao Ni's hand in the other, walking slowly home. Their retirement life was just beginning, and the good days were yet to come.
