What happened to the Wuhan girl who died in Malaysia?

On the evening of January 28, a yacht carrying more than 20 Chinese tourists sank in the waters off Sabah, Malaysia. Among the Chinese tourists were 2 Wuhan residents, 1 was rescued and 1 died. The victim and the rescued were a couple who got married in September last year. The victim’s woman was Zhang Xiaokun, born in 1990, and was a graduate student. Relatives revealed on Weibo that when he fell into the water, Zhang Xiaokun first connected everyone's life jackets together and kept encouraging people around him; after floating for more than 30 hours, he was exhausted.

"You can see your husband tomorrow. Drink more water, be sure to drink more water, recuperate, and sleep with your eyes closed." Xiao Yang, a 24-year-old girl from Nanjing, Jiangsu, was lying on the hospital bed. I am using my mobile phone to have a video call with my mother in another ward. She just learned from her mother that her father and uncle were coming to Malaysia to visit them.

Xiao Yang was wrapped in bandages and his face was swollen. But she still kept comforting her mother. Xiao Yang is one of the 20 Chinese tourists who have been rescued from the Sabah shipwreck in Malaysia.

Xiao Yang recalled that on the morning of the 28th, she and her mother took this boat out to sea from a pier in Kota Kinabalu to visit the beach island. After about 40 minutes of sailing, the boat suddenly broke down. . Immediately, someone discovered that the situation was not good, and "water began to enter the back of the cabin."

As more and more water filled the cabin, everyone began to jump into the sea one by one. "When we first entered the water, many people were panicked, some started crying, and some looked up to the sky and asked God," Xiao Yang said. Recalling afterwards, she felt that doing so was actually unwise, "because it would consume a lot of physical energy."

Everyone soon realized that crying was useless, so they began to wait patiently for rescue. The instinct of survival led everyone to hold hands and form a circle in the water. "Because everyone knows that if we are together, the chance of survival will be higher," she said. "In fact, everyone is very scared, but if everyone is together, they will not be so scared. If you are alone at sea "Piao, I don't think anyone can stay for so long."

The power of the group inspired everyone. They made many attempts, some tried to search for mobile phone signals, and some tried to find nearby islands. "Several times during this period, we heard passing sounds, and everyone swam desperately in that direction," Xiao Yang said.

Xiao Yang recalled a passenger on the same ship. This mother, who she described as "a very good" mother, not only organized everyone to save themselves after the incident, but also encouraged everyone: "If you don't want to die, you must work hard!"

Xiao Yang said that this mother My daughter is also very strong. She may only be three or four years old, but she never cried from beginning to end. When her mother was dying, and she herself was almost out of strength, she would ask "Mom, are you okay?" every few minutes, and her mother's answer was "I'm fine if you're okay."

"Later, the young mother's life jacket broke. Although everyone really didn't want to let go of her hand, there was no way." At this point, Xiao Yang choked up.

Drifting on the vast sea, Xiao Yang and other passengers firmly believed that they would be rescued. "As long as we see the sun tomorrow, there will be helicopters and many, many ships coming to us. They will definitely find us."

With faith, Xiao Yang and his mother encouraged each other to survive the storm and survive. Overcome by the pain of his skin being soaked in the sea water, Xiao Yang and several others swam hard to a passing ship at dusk the next day, attracting the attention of the crew, and everyone was saved.

Xiao Yang said that after being rescued and on the way to Kota Kinabalu, many people were still wondering whether they would be left to dry directly on the shore and have to walk to the embassy by themselves. , “Later I found out that everyone was waiting for us, so I felt relieved all of a sudden,” she said.

"I'm really grateful to everyone, and also to fate for giving us a chance to survive. I still remember there were two white clouds in the sky when we were rescued, it was beautiful," Xiao Yang said.
