The local government plans to reward a teenage girl, who saved an 11-year-old boy from drowning in a river in Southwest China's Guizhou province's capital city, despite the weather slumping to zero on Tuesday night.
贵州省贵阳市政府打算公开表彰不顾寒夜河水冰冷而勇救11岁落水少年的90后少女。

Xiang Xinyuan, took a walk with her pet dog along the Nanming river around 8 pm that night as usual, making a break from her heavy homework. The 16-year-old was a senior high school student, preparing for the university entrance examination in June. Xiang was enjoying a relaxing moment until she saw a round-faced boy shouting for help with his hands waving desperately in the air.
16岁的高三学生向欣园向往常一样,晚上八点带着自己的爱狗沿河边散步以缓解备战高考的压力。就在这时,她发现一个圆脸的小男孩落水,并在河水中挣扎呼喊救命。

Xiang told China Daily on Friday that she did not think much before she jumped into the water."The river water was freezing but it also helped me to calm down and try to remember some life-saving techniques from TV programs I watched," said Xiang. She tried her best to swim towards the boy who was struggling in the water and asked him to calm down. After reaching him, Xiang lifted the boy's head and swam back. "When approaching the bank, I felt my body start to sink as I did not have time to remove some of my clothes and shoes at the start," Xiang recalled.
向欣园告诉《中国日报》的记者说,她当时并没想太多就跳下河救人了。“虽然河水很冷,但这也使我冷静下来,回想电视里救人的场景。”然后,向欣园就努力地游向在水中拼命挣扎的小男孩,叫他冷静下来,并扶起男孩的头,一起游向岸边。向欣园回忆说,“当我们游到了岸边,我才发现我的身体开始下沉,因为当时跳水救人太着急,我连衣服和鞋子都没有来得及脱掉。”

With the help of several passers-by along the riverside, Xiang pulled the boy out of the water successfully.
在岸边其他好心人的帮助下,向欣园成功地把小男孩就上了岸。

和谐小编:16岁少女跳河救人彰显的是社会的良心。很多时候,我们不是缺乏做善事的勇气,而是我们考虑得太多,顾虑得太多。正如向欣园所说,她当时没多想就跳河救人了。其实,只要听从内心的声音,不要想太多,我们也都能成为“最美的人”!
