BEIJING, Feb. 7 (Xinhua) A Chinese rescue team departed from Beijing for Türkiye on a chartered plane on Tuesday afternoon to join earthquake relief
Almost a year since concluding the shooting of Light Chaser Rescue, director Zhang Tong still clearly remembers the behind-the-scenes details of an episode featuring the search and rescue of survivors of a devastating magnitude 6.0 earthquake.
Born in 1990, Yu Ruofei, leader of the Gansu Blue Sky Rescue team, has devoted himself to rescue work for ten years, during which he has risked his life saving people in the devastating earthquake in Sichuan’s Ya’an in 2013, an 8.1-magnitude earthquake that struck Nepal in 2015 and floods in Myanmar in 2015.
Yu Ruofei, 32, still remembers that, not long after he helped to establish the Lanzhou Blue Sky Rescue in 2013, the team received its first mission－to save a drowning child in Lintao county, about 80 kilometers from Lanzhou city, Gansu province. Unfortunately, by the time he arrived, the body of the child had already been dragged out of the water.
