Fiction: Group 3
It seems that the bus was speeding, but who would put the lives of the passengers at risk? There might be
some problems on the bus.
While we were trying to drive forward to take a look at the bus, the bus hit the taxi in front of us, and the
poor taxi was pushed into another direction. The taxi was moving towards us.
"Turn!" I yelled!
Fortunately, Ri Qiang was an experienced driver. He stopped his car immediately. I got out of his car and
tried to help the taxi driver and the passengers inside. Ri Qiang used his car to block the road and kept the
car lights on, so people would not go this way.
" Ri Qiang, you had better stay here to give a sign to the drivers who want to go this way and call the
police."
"Yes, sure."
I rushed to see the driver and passengers in the taxi. The taxi driver’s head was bleeding, so I tried my best
to carry him with me. He tried to say thank you to me.
"Xie, xie (thank you)..."
"Please don't say it now, you had better take a rest on the road first."
After putting him on the road to rest, I went back to the taxi to see if there were any passengers inside.
"Oh, a pregnant woman! Oh, my gosh! What can I do now?"
I was shocked to see a pregnant woman was inside the car, and she could not move at all. I did not know
what to do, so I prayed to God. Then, a very handsome man walked towards me.
"Are you okay, sir?"
"Please help me to take her out. Otherwise, this woman and her baby may not survive this."
The man and I tried to pull the taxi door by shaking it hard. After a few minutes, we successfully tore it
open.
We helped the pregnant woman sit down on the road and to wait for an ambulance.
"Thank you, sir," the pregnant woman said.
"Don't mention it. The most important thing is you sit down here to take a rest first. Don't worry, the
ambulance is coming."
While I was talking, I could hear the sound of the ambulance.
"Please say thank you to the man who helped tear the door open, "I pointed to that man who helped me
save her. But when I looked around, I could not find him.
"No, sir. Only you have saved me. I couldn't see anyone else," the woman said.
The ambulance eventually arrived and took all of them to the hospital. I wanted to go with them to check
their condition, but suddenly, there were so many reporters blocking my way.
"Did you save their lives, sir?"
"What is your name? Are you a local person?"
"Can you tell us what happened?"
"What did you see?"
I was all of a sudden surrounded by reporters and bombarded by their endless questions. I was startled, and I
did not know what to say.
The next day, I was named a "Hero" and was in the headlines of the newspapers in China.
Even Ri Quiang and Ri Hong had become my big fans, and some people sponsored all my expenses in
Jiangmen. I became famous overnight. Now, many people want to invite me for interviews and job
appointments.
No matter how popular I am now, I cannot forget that man who helped me in the accident. I really wanted
to find out who the man was, so I searched for some historical background of the very spot where the
accident took place. Then, I found out that was a place where some Italian missionaries stayed a few
centuries ago. The Italian missionaries went to this place to spread the Gospel but they were forced to leave
China. At that time, the emperor of China commanded that no foreign religion was allowed.
Under the ruling of that emperor, most of the missionaries left China. However, one priest insisted on
staying behind to serve the Chinese Christians. This priest was later killed by a soldier at that very spot, and
people believed he was buried underground somewhere though no one could find his body at all.
So, that man might be the good soul of this martyr, and I saw a saint! I hope I can see him again. Every year,
I go back to that place and say "Thank you" to my saint.
