"Don't worry, I'll be there right away!" Faced with the urgent request for help from school colleagues, Chang Xinhua, a trade union cadre of Beijing Forestry University, stepped forward. Not only did he rush to the hospital as soon as possible, he also paid more than 20,000 yuan for the surgery and hospitalization deposit without hesitation, making the faculty and staff who suddenly fell ill feel the most sincere warmth and beauty of their "family".

On June 8 this year, during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, Gu Jing, deputy director of the Intellectual Property Information Service Center of Beijing Forestry University, suddenly felt unbearable heart pain and broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately called the emergency number. The 120 ambulance arrived quickly and took him to the emergency room of Jishuitan Hospital.

As his family was far away abroad, his relatives in Beijing could not get to the hospital in time, which made Gu Jing, who was lying on the hospital bed, feel very helpless. What should he do? Having been the leader of the trade union group for 18 years, he knew that "the trade union is the 'mother' family' that the faculty and staff can trust and rely on", so he urgently contacted Chang Xinhua, a trade union cadre whose home was not far from the hospital, and asked anxiously if he could help.

In fact, Chang Xinhua and Gu Jing did not work in the same office, and they did not have much interaction at work, let alone a close personal relationship. But when he was taking care of his young child at home and received a call for help, although he was a little surprised, he still agreed. Chang Xinhua immediately contacted his wife who was out and asked her to come back to see the child, and then rushed to the emergency room of Jishuitan Hospital.

Gu Jing was diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction and needed to go to the operating room for cardiac angiography immediately. Chang Xinhua not only paid more than 20,000 yuan for the surgery and hospitalization deposit, but his timely arrival also relaxed Gu Jing's tense nerves on the hospital bed.

When the angiography was completed and Gu Jing was pushed out of the operating room, it was already past 9 p.m. After Chang Xinhua had a quick meeting with him outside the operating room, he was pushed into the coronary heart disease intensive care unit for observation. As Gu Jing had an acute illness, he only had a mobile phone with him, so Chang Xinhua rushed around to buy him a charger, slippers, drinking water and other items needed for hospitalization.

After 24 hours, when Gu Jing's condition stabilized and he was transferred to the general ward, Chang Xinhua bought some fruit to visit him, comforted him to rest quietly, and continued to pay attention to his condition until he recovered and was discharged from the hospital.

"Your colleagues are so kind. Most people can't do this..." After learning about this, Gu Jing's family was deeply moved by Chang Xinhua's kindness. After Gu Jing recovered from his illness and returned to work, he wrote a thank-you letter and sent it to the school union in mid-July.

"At the critical moment of my life, I felt the most sincere warmth and care in the world..." Gu Jing wrote emotionally in the letter, "I deeply admire Mr. Chang's decisiveness and courage. His carefulness and thoughtfulness made me feel the warmth of the union. I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to Mr. Chang Xinhua. Your selfless assistance and care not only gave me courage and strength, but also made all of us feel the warmth and beauty of the world. Your kindness will always be remembered in my heart and will become my motivation to move forward."

After Chang Xinhua did this good deed, he never told his company or colleagues about it, but continued to work quietly. He was a little embarrassed by the unanimous praise from his colleagues. In this regard, the relevant person in charge of the school union said, "Teacher Chang is such a low-key person, with the most simple feelings for the faculty and staff, silently devoting himself without asking for anything in return. His actions truly reflect the union's work philosophy of solving problems for the faculty and staff and letting them feel the warmth of 'home'."

Chang Xinhua was transferred from the Graduate School of the University to the University Union in September 2021, and was responsible for office work. Although he has not been a union worker for a long time, he actively learned about union business and quickly got into the role in a short period of time. He performed his duties conscientiously and worked hard to complete various tasks in the union work and activities such as organizing and completing the work related to the Teachers' and Workers' Congresses, the preparation services and participation guarantees for the Youth Teachers' Competition, the construction of faculty and staff positions such as the Staff Home and Warm Heart Station, and the immediate handling of faculty and staff complaints.

In the eyes of leaders and colleagues, Chang Xinhua, a veteran party member with 23 years of party membership, works carefully, responsibly, diligently, and conscientiously, fully demonstrating the image and responsibility of the trade union members of the capital's universities in the new era. "It's reassuring to leave things to him" is the consensus of everyone. In the 2021 and 2023 assessments, Chang Xinhua's teacher ethics assessment and year-end assessment both received an "excellent" grade.

It is summer vacation now, and Gu Jing, who is recuperating outside, plans to return to school before the end of the month to express his gratitude to Chang Xinhua in person and present him with a banner. Upon hearing his idea, Chang Xinhua's first reaction was to politely decline, "When you see others in danger, you have to help them. It's all trivial." Between the lines, the simple and low-key character of this trade union worker continues as always.
