On the evening of July 16, Wang Gang, a staff officer of the Police Training Section of the Benxi City Public Security Fire Detachment, was on duty and received an order for reinforcements from the corps. Wang Gang is a colon cancer patient who is taking medicine and chemotherapy and has just taken the medicine for the 15th day. The chemotherapy is painful, the medicine is a laxative, Wang Gang eats so much that he is shaking in the aisle, how can he go to the fire? The leader did not hesitate to reject Wang Gang's request to go to the fire.

At 3 o'clock in the morning of the 17th, the second batch of reinforcements of the Benxi detachment began to assemble, Wang Gang resolutely asked to go to Dalian, not to go, the leader saw that his attitude was resolute and resolute, not letting him go too much to hurt his self-esteem, so he agreed to join the reinforcement team, and asked everyone to take care of Wang Gang.

Wang Gang and the second group of people arrived at the fire site and replaced the first batch of team members to the position. He served as the commander of the front, and together with the fighters he carried the water gun until the end of the battle.

Wang Gang's state at that time was weak, nauseous, unable to eat, and afraid of cold. It's uncomfortable to lie in bed and rest in this state, why does he have to go to the fire? People who don't understand the situation will think that Wang Gang is putting on a show. In fact, a person is in extreme pain, and he doesn't know if he can recover, and he doesn't want to put on a show anymore. Wang Gang did this to be grateful to the troops.

As soon as he mentioned the meticulous care that the army had taken care of him since he got sick, Wang Gang wanted to cry. He felt that no matter what he did, he would not be able to repay the kindness of the troops to him.

Wang Gang was born in 1982 and was diagnosed with colon cancer in June 2009. At that time, he had just been in love for half a year, and his fiancée Xu Ting was an only daughter and a community cadre. Wang Gang had blood and diarrhea at that time, and Xu Ting accompanied him to the hospital for examination. The doctor hospitalized Wang Gang, and the next day he had a comprehensive physical examination, and the diagnosis came out, which was colon cancer. Xu Ting and her parents learned the cruel truth. Xu Ting said: "We have encountered such a big blow before we are married, Wang Gang has a good character, as long as he has a little possibility of recovery, I am willing to be with him and devote myself to taking care of him." The leader of the army said to Xu Ting: "You and Wang Gang will decide on your future marriage. But our troops will do their best to help Wang Gang get cured. Whether you marry him or not, we all have to give our comrades the best treatment. ”

Wang Gang needed to be transferred to Shenyang for treatment, and when he signed, he saw the Latin abbreviation of the tumor, checked it on the Internet, and learned the truth. He told Xu Ting: "I have cancer, you think about it again, if you break up, I won't blame you at all." Xu Ting listened very calmly and said, "I already knew, you can recuperate with peace of mind." She rushed to Shenyang on Friday, took care of Wang Gang on Saturday and Sunday, and went back to Benxi to work on Monday. Others said: "Xu Ting, you have worked too hard, besides, I don't know if Wang Gang's illness can be cured, you should think about this matter carefully, this is a lifelong event after all." ”

Xu Ting said: "In your eyes, Wang Gang is a patient, in my eyes he is a handsome young man, my fiancé, and we still enjoy the sweetness of love." ”

Under the careful care of Xu Ting and the troops, Wang Gang's confidence in overcoming the disease was high, and with tenacious perseverance and treatment, his condition began to stabilize.

On April 10, 2010, Wang Gang and Xu Ting held a wedding.

Wang Gang called Xu Ting before going to the Dalian fire scene, and said lightly, saying that there was a fire in Dalian, and Benxi would go to the side to respond. Xu Ting replied lightly, saying go, don't worry about things at home. Xu Ting knew that a competitive person like Wang Gang should not stop him from doing anything, let alone mention that illness would burden his thoughts.

As soon as Wang arrived at the fire, his feelings were more painful than others. In 2009, he participated in the rescue work and broke his foot, and when he stood on the fire ground, his left foot immediately swollen, and he couldn't take off his boots when he slept at night, so he had to sleep in boots. When sleeping, the soldiers sat and slept in the car, and Wang Gang slept on the pedal of the car with a bottle of mineral water. The sea breeze blew in the night, and it was cold. Cancer patients have poor immunity and are most afraid of cold, but they have to stand up to the cold. After catching a cold, Wang Gang immediately began to diarrhea, and after a few trips to the toilet, he lost his energy. He fought fires with fighters during the day, and at night he basically couldn't sleep, so he could only lie quietly.

Wang Gang didn't call Xu Ting, for fear that she would be worried. Xu Ting didn't call Wang Gang either, for fear that he would be distracted. But Xu Ting often called Wang Gang's comrade-in-arms Wang Bing to understand Wang Gang's physical condition, and Wang Bing replied all the way: "Don't worry, Wang Gang is fine." "In that kind of fire, everyone knew it, and they were all next to each other, hoping for victory.

The leaders of the detachment repeatedly ordered Wang Gang to withdraw to the command vehicle in the rear, but Wang Gang did not go. He said in his heart, how many fires can he have in this life? Maybe this is the last time the fire will be extinguished, and the upper rear will lose its value here.

Wang Gang held out until the 22nd, returning with the troops.

At 20:30 on the evening of the 22nd, the Benxi Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government held a grand commendation meeting in the Benxi Gymnasium to welcome the Benxi fire officers and soldiers to Dalian to reinforce and return victoriously. The city leader said: "No matter how late it is today, we will also wait for the Benxi fire officers and soldiers to return to Benxi and hold a meeting to commend them." ”

When the firefighters came to the gymnasium, drums rang out in unison, and more than 500 public security officers, firefighters and their families attended the welcome and commendation meeting. Wang Gang wore a big red flower on his chest, he saw Xu Ting in the audience, and Xu Ting also saw Wang Gang.

At the meeting, the letter of condolence jointly signed by the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor was read out, praising the officers and soldiers of Benxi fire fighting for their bravery, tenacity and outstanding achievements in the 7.16 fire fighting battle, worthy of the title of fire fighting iron army, and winning glory for the people of Benxi.

Back at home, Wang Gang took a bath, Xu Ting watched the firefighting scene of the Benxi reinforcements broadcast by Benxi TV, she couldn't help crying, and said: "I know you must have suffered a lot of crimes, but I didn't expect the fire to be so big, how much sin you have to suffer...... Wang Gang said: "What are you crying about?" Isn't that what I'm doing! ”
