Three elderly neighbors were warned by a young person to escape, but they were swept away by a mountain flood.

 In the face of nature, humanity sometimes appears so small and fragile. In Tangjiazhuang Village, Zhuolu County, Zhangjiakou, an unexpected mudslide brought a profound disaster to this ordinary village.

Wei Gongxi, a young boy of only 19 years old, faced with the imminent mudslide, risked his life without hesitation and shouted to the neighboring elderly people to flee. His kindness couldn't overcome the power of nature, and he, along with his elderly neighbors, were swept away by the mountain flood.

Though his young life couldn't save others, his courageous act is the most shining highlight in this story, a pure heart shining with light in despair.

Wei Gongxi's mother stood there, despite not shedding a tear for five days and nights. The sadness in her eyes was indescribable. She repeatedly recounted her son's final brave moments, as if hoping that through this repetition, she could pull her son back from the edge of death.

For the villagers, this mudslide was an unprecedented event in their lifetime. Even though there were early warnings in the village, no one expected the mudslide to be so fierce.

In life, there are always such uncertainties. When faced with the choice between life and death, how will we decide? Wei Gongxi, with his short 19 years of life, provided his answer.

Though the mudslide swept away their homes, that bravery and resilience will forever remain in people's hearts. We hope that in heaven, they can truly find peace.
