CRI听力:Shepherd Awarded for Saving Train from Derailing
A local herder from the northern Chinese province of Hebei has been honored by the local government and awarded 250-thousand yuan for his bravery.
Lu Wei is credited with managing to save a train carrying oil tanks from derailing earlier this month, putting his own life at risk.
"A rainstorm caused a slide, and the mud and debris poured down from the top of the mountain. I ran down to the railway track, and saw the train coming. It was foggy, but I could still see the train. I moved ahead about 30 meters and waved my arms to stop it."
The train driver saw his distress signal, and stopped the train about 10 metres away from the pile of debris.
Lu Wei has been living as a shepherd the last decade.
He lost 21 goats in the flooding, valued at around 40-thousan yuan.
