On July 10, the last seven residents of Wuhan City Vocational College were rescued by students from the school. Teachers from the college have saved the red flag used by the students during their rescue efforts to add to the school's history museum, commemorating the brave and unselfish deeds of the 58 student volunteers.
On July 4, an emergency meeting was held at the college, and the decision was made to evacuate the campus. Junior Ren Zhiyong then called upon some students in his class and formed a rescue team to help carry out the evacuation. More student quickly expressed interest in joining, and soon the team was composed of 58 students.
By the afternoon of July 6, the water level in the most affected areas had exceeded 2 meters. Thirteen students, chosen based on their heights of 1.7 meters and up, took charge of evacuating residents in the deepest waters. Among others, they rescued a woman who was eight months pregnant, a resident who was over 80 years old and a 6-year-old child. By July 10, the rescue team had successfully rescued over 700 people from the flooded area.
Members of the rescue team all agreed that this was the most meaningful and fulfilling thing they have done in college so far.
