On the afternoon of August 19, Dalian rescuer Liu Zhongpeng posted a video on social media looking for the person he rescued. He said: Dalian police are applying for a righteous act award for me now, and I need the person he rescued to give me a certificate. In fact, I didn't plan to apply for a righteous act award at first, but I need this title now. I'm not seeking fame or profit, I'm only doing it for my daughter. I now understand that this title will help my daughter go to school and her future career. So I must stand up now and fight for this honor for my daughter. I hope the person who was rescued will contact me or contact Officer Zheng in Dalian Shahekou District after seeing this.

An excavator driver went to Dalian to watch a concert and rescued a father and son in distress at the beach

Liu Zhongpeng, 36, is an excavator driver. He is from Heilongjiang and has settled in Shenyang for 17 years.

Liu Zhongpeng said that he is a fan of Richie Jen. On August 10, he took his wife and daughter from Shenyang to Dalian to watch Richie Jen's concert. Because it was still early, the family of three went to Dalian Golden Stone Beach Happy Coast in the afternoon of the 10th. His wife took out her mobile phone and planned to record the warm scene of the father and daughter chasing and playing on the beach. However, just as they were immersed in joy, a sudden crisis broke the tranquility.

At that time, a cry for help suddenly came from not far away. Liu Zhongpeng followed the cry for help and saw a father and son struggling in the sea. The situation was critical and there was no time to think. Liu Zhongpeng rushed into the sea without hesitation. "I still can't forget the cry for help at that time. I didn't think about anything else but to save people." Liu Zhongpeng recalled.

Liu Zhongpeng said that it was high tide at that time, and the waves were more than 1 meter high. He went into the sea against the waves. Because the waves were too big, Liu Zhongpeng was almost pushed back to the shore several times. He gritted his teeth and continued to rush into the sea. After about a minute, Liu Zhongpeng quickly pulled the father and son to the shore successfully.

When talking about his act of saving lives, Liu Zhongpeng said: "If I have to thank anyone, I'd thank Richie Jen." Because he went to Dalian to watch Richie Jen's concert.

Many netizens @Ren Xianqi in the comment section, "Ren Xianqi must give big brother a free ticket this time" and "I hope Ren Xianqi can see this video."

What Liu Zhongpeng didn't expect was that on the morning of August 14, Richie Ren really responded. He posted a message on the social platform: "Thank you to the brother who rescued people on the Dalian beach! Please contact my staff, I have a gift for you!"

Liu Zhongpeng also replied under the video: "Helping others can really make you happy. Netizens say that I am a good person and good things will be rewarded. I didn't expect it to come true so soon! I thought Dalian would be the last time I saw you, but I never expected you to invite me. Thank you for inviting me to the concert! I will definitely come..."

Then, Richie Jen released a short video on social media, "I have received a lot of private messages recently, everyone wants to thank me, what should I thank you for? I want to thank you, thank you for your kindness and courage." Richie Jen sincerely thanked Liu Zhongpeng for the netizens' and his own thanks, and also called on everyone to pay attention to safety when playing in the water at the beach. Through the camera, Richie Jen once again extended an invitation and thanked him more solemnly, "Mr. Liu Zhongpeng, I hope to invite you to my concert again if I have the chance. Thank you, Liu Zhongpeng! Thank you!"
