At the scene of a car accident, an elderly couple lay gravely injured on the ground. The vehicle involved sped away, while nearby drivers looked on as if nothing had happened. In such a situation, only he stepped forward to offer help. Xin Yanwei, 27 years old this year, was returning to work after visiting relatives when he witnessed the entire ordeal and took the most effective action in the shortest possible time. Thanks to Xin Yanwei’s calm and decisive response, he managed to force the offending vehicle to stop within five minutes, allowing traffic police to arrive promptly and begin their investigation. At that point, Xin Yanwei quietly departed; it was only after the local police issued a notice requesting his cooperation with the on-site inquiry that the incident became widely known. When confronted by reporters, Xin Yanwei simply replied that he had acted out of the instinctive duty of a Party member. Accident witness Xin Yanwei: “A motorcycle collided with the rear of a semi-trailer ahead. I immediately checked the rider’s condition and called both 110 and emergency services. Then, I got into my car and pursued the semi-trailer, forcing it to stop. There were two main considerations: first, the motorcyclist was seriously injured, so the other vehicle should bear some responsibility; second, if the semi-trailer driver left without realizing what had happened, it could constitute hit-and-run. So I followed him and brought him to a halt—nothing more.” When we first met him, Xin Yanwei was inspecting equipment in the workshop. As the youngest team leader among the seven innovation groups established in 2019 at the Xinyu Coking Plant, part of the Pengfei Group, he feels a profound sense of responsibility. He has also taken the initiative to oversee technical training and Party‑related work at the plant, actively participating in various cultural and artistic events organized by the Pengfei Group. In his unassuming role, he quietly upholds the original aspiration and mission of a Party member and a Pengfei employee.
