I shared my situation with him, and he seemed quite satisfied after listening, though he didn't make any promises. Instead, he invited me to participate in their first event as an observer before making a decision.
On a scorching day in August, the city of Chongqing, known for its sweltering heat, was enveloped in waves of warmth, as if the entire city were about to melt away. Despite the unbearable heat, I arrived punctually at the venue for the event as agreed.
As I gently pushed open the door, a refreshing breeze greeted me, providing a brief moment of comfort. However, I was even more surprised by the sight inside—the spacious room was completely filled! People were either focused on the front or quietly conversing, creating a lively atmosphere.
At that moment, Lao Wang noticed my arrival. He smiled and gestured for me to find a seat. I carefully navigated through the sea of unfamiliar faces and finally found a corner to sit down.
Just as I settled in, Lao Wang cleared his throat and officially began his lecture for the day. The sun blazed down on the earth, seemingly intent on melting the entire world. Yet on this hot day, I stepped into the rescue team's doors and began my first training session.
The topic of this class was Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and some basic medical knowledge, including bleeding control, bandaging, and immobilization techniques. I had some prior exposure to these topics during my time in the military, but reviewing them again was undoubtedly beneficial.
Lao Wang's explanations were detailed and engaging. Through practical examples and demonstrations, he brought those seemingly dull concepts to life. He skillfully operated a human model while demonstrating the correct pressure points and frequency for CPR, explaining each step's key points and precautions in detail.
I listened intently, jotting down important notes without distraction. Despite the rising temperature in the classroom and sweat trickling down my forehead, I remained focused, afraid to miss any crucial information.
Before I knew it, the class came to an end. As I prepared to leave, Lao Wang approached me with a smile and asked how I felt about the lesson. Wiping sweat from my brow, I replied, "It was great! You explained everything very well; I've learned a lot." Then with eager anticipation, I added, "What are the next steps?" Lao Wang nodded in understanding and said, "Don't rush; just wait for further notice. There will be more exciting classes ahead." He patted my shoulder encouragingly and urged me to keep studying hard.
Leaving the classroom with dreams of future rescue work in my heart, I resolved to master these skills so that one day I could save more lives at critical moments.
Time flew by quickly; days passed in an instant. One day, my phone suddenly chimed with a notification. Upon checking it was a WeChat message from Lao Wang. He informed me that they would be going into the mountains for training and that there would be two activities: rope practice and search practice. The mention of "mountains" ignited a fire within me! For me, entering the woods felt like being in my element. Back in my military days, our unit was known as "Jungle Tigers"! Whether it was traversing dense forests or climbing steep peaks, we excelled at navigating complex terrains. The thought of once again venturing deep into the mountains filled me with excitement; I couldn't wait to participate in this training.
At that time, we were engaged in outdoor training activities with an incredibly vibrant atmosphere. However, due to the impressive nature of our activities, curious passersby often approached us with puzzled expressions asking what we were doing. The enthusiastic people of Chongqing seemed genuinely interested in new experiences and loved to join in on the excitement. Sometimes even bold individuals would directly ask if they could give it a try themselves! In response to these continuous questions and requests, we always answered patiently since everyone was simply driven by curiosity.
To our delight, this open and friendly communication style yielded unexpectedly positive results. It successfully attracted many young people’s attention and encouraged them to actively join our team. Over time, our group continued to grow; some deputy leaders and core members were actually those young individuals who had initially been drawn to us during our outdoor training!
Given that certain specialized skills and techniques are quite complex and require high levels of expertise, relying solely on internal training is far from sufficient. Therefore, in addition to actively participating in team training sessions, we also invested our own money to enroll in courses offered by authoritative organizations. These courses varied widely and allowed us to choose subjects that suited our interests and future development plans—ranging from water rescue knowledge to earthquake emergency response techniques and rope usage methods.
In the early stages, we typically weren't assigned actual rescue missions right away; instead, building a solid foundation was prioritized for everyone without exception—including myself. Whenever I had free time, I devoted myself wholeheartedly to obtaining various certifications. After nearly half a year of relentless effort and perseverance—thanks to my tenacity—I gradually earned numerous relevant rescue professional certificates. At the same time, my identity quietly transformed from an inexperienced novice who knew nothing about rescue work into a slightly more mature instructor.
