Rail worker risks life to rescue stranded passengers

After the train turned back to the station, a landslide occurred at a tunnel. Yun and his colleagues rushed to clean it up. But water rose to his chest in no time and rocks started falling behind them. Standing in despair, he called his wife, saying "I may not be able to come back. Please remember these names: Gao Jiaqi, Wang Dongwei, Zhang Yuan, Song Weiqiang, Lei Zhiping, Zang Le, Sun Hailiang, Yang Kang, Li Hongyan, and Wang Xiaolong. If we die here, you must tell others their names." Then he hung up.

Luckily, led by a senior colleague, they found a path not blocked by mud and rocks and escaped.

Shortly after they returned to their office, Yun received a call from Ma Ruixin, head of Luopoling Railway Station. The 980 passengers trapped in the train needed to be transferred to safe areas. Ma asked him how many people he can accommodate. Yun said at least 50. He got more than 300.
