With the Encouragements from Her Companions, the Woman Who’d Fallen into the Valleys for One Day and Stayed There for Overnight Was, Finally Rescued

You can attribute this woman’s survival, to how she’d, received the encouragements from her companions, and how hard the fire department rescuers were “on-the-clock” 24/7 or, you can simply see it as how her time wasn’t “up” yet!!! From the Front Page Sections, translated…

A woman, Gu from Hsinbei City on the second of the Chinese New Year, fell into the valley that was three feet deep, her five male and one female companions stayed by her for twenty-four whole hours, until she was finally rescued yesterday, she was air-lifted by a medical helicopter to Taipei.

The Second Squad of the Hsinchu Fire Department pointed out, that Gu followed the five members of the Four Season’s Stream Trekking Group of Taiwan on a five-day, four-nights’ trip, but, on the morning of the second of the Chinese New Year’s, as they’d gone across an unknown waterfall at intersection of the Maibalai Creek and Xiwong Creek, Gu had a misstep and slid to the depth of thirty meters below, she seemed to have fractured her arms and legs, and was bleeding from her forehead and other part of her body, she was going in and out of consciousness.

The team leader of this trekking group, Chen said, Gu’s companions used the satellite phones to call out for help, and they’d camped out by Gu overnight, to keep boosting her spirits.

The Second Squad also set up a team of nine rescuers, and rushed over, and by eight in the evening, they were still, a kilometer away from the site where Gu had, slid and fallen, and because the pass was very uneven, and they’d needed to, pass across a huge waterfall to get to the spot, the rescue squad can only set up camp for the night.

The Second Squad stated, that during the New Year’s, there are still rescuers working 24/7, all of those who’d gone to the calls had already been working for six days straight, they were all originally, going home on the third of the Chinese New Year’s to get together with their loved ones, but, as they’d received the S.O.S. calls, they’d still gone out to conduct the search and rescue.

And so, this woman’s life was spared, ALL due to these, hardworking rescuers, who’d given up their days off, to the calls of their duties, and, I’m sure, that how her companions didn’t abandon her had helped, a little, but mostly, this woman’s life was saved, due to these paramedics, rescuers working around the clock, even during the holidays.
