Yu Yifei, a 26-year-old medical intern at People's Hospital of Zhengzhou in Henan province, saved about a dozen people trapped in a flooded subway train when torrential rain lashed the city on July 20.
It was the first day in the job for Yu, who wants to become a doctor. That night on a subway station platform, he spent an exhausting six hours giving cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, to passengers who barely survived drowning. He also treated others who were injured.
