In our industrial town, there is a 25-year-old young man named Lin Yu, a skilled electrician. His daily work involves moving through various corners of the factory, inspecting and repairing electrical equipment, ensuring the smooth operation of the factory. This young man is usually cheerful, loves to talk and laugh, and everyone affectionately calls him “Little Lin.”
One day, the factory received an urgent task to work overtime to produce a batch of important orders. Lin Yu was busy checking the circuits in the workshop as usual. But who would have thought that a terrible accident was quietly approaching.
When Lin Yu walked near a large aluminum melting furnace, suddenly, something tripped him, and he lost his balance, falling headfirst into the scalding aluminum melting furnace with a temperature of 720°C. In an instant, everyone around was stunned, as if time had frozen. Some screamed in terror, while others stood frozen, unsure of what to do.
Lin Yu felt an incredibly intense wave of heat hit him, and his entire body was instantly enveloped in the boiling aluminum, with excruciating pain coursing through him like electric currents.
He instinctively struggled, but the aluminum liquid was like an invisible net, trapping him tightly. His consciousness began to blur, filled with despair, feeling that he was surely doomed this time.
Just as Lin Yu was about to lose his life and his consciousness began to fade, a miracle happened. It turned out that there was an experienced master, Old Zhang, in the factory who had been watching Lin Yu’s work. Old Zhang reacted quickly; at this critical moment, he rushed to the furnace’s control panel and, relying on his years of experience and familiarity with the equipment, activated the furnace’s emergency braking system as fast as possible. At the same time, he shouted loudly for other workers to help.
Hearing the shout, the workers quickly snapped out of their shock and sprang into action. Some ran to get fire extinguishers to prepare for a potential fire; others assisted Old Zhang in ensuring the emergency braking system was functioning properly. With everyone’s combined efforts, the furnace’s operation gradually stopped, and the temperature of the aluminum began to slowly decrease.
At this time, the factory’s fire brigade also arrived promptly. Dressed in professional protective gear, they cautiously approached the furnace, braving the high temperatures and dangers. After a tense rescue, they finally succeeded in pulling Lin Yu out of the furnace.
Lin Yu was rushed to the hospital. Along the way, medical staff worked against the clock to provide emergency treatment. Upon arrival at the hospital, the doctors did their utmost, and after several hours of surgery and rescue, Lin Yu’s vital signs finally stabilized.
When Lin Yu woke up from his coma and saw his family and coworkers by his bedside, he was overwhelmed with emotion and tears. He weakly said, “I thought I was definitely going to die this time; I didn’t expect to see you all again.”
Later, an investigation revealed that an aging wire had short-circuited, causing the accident. Lin Yu spent a long time in the hospital due to this incident. However, he recovered well and was soon discharged.
Having gone through this life-and-death ordeal, Lin Yu became more appreciative of life and grateful to those who extended a helping hand in his time of need. He returned to his job, still the cheerful and enthusiastic Little Lin. The factory also strengthened its safety management and equipment maintenance to prevent similar tragedies from happening again.
This incident spread throughout the factory, and everyone felt that it was Old Zhang’s calm response and the teamwork that created a miracle. Since then, there has been a new understanding in the factory, with everyone taking better care of each other while working and being able to respond quickly in emergencies. Lin Yu’s story has become a legend in the factory, constantly reminding people that life is so fragile, but as long as there is hope and unity, one can survive even in dire situations.
