Cambodian Single Network January 10th At about 10 pm on January 7, 2019, a fire broke out in an 18-story casino in Poipet, Cambodia, and many Chinese were trapped on the floor. In the incident, Mr. Xie, a retired Chinese armed police officer, rushed upstairs to rescue his compatriots. Unexpectedly, his cell phone was taken away and his wallet was lost in the chaos.
On the day of the incident, when the casino electrician was repairing the elevator on the fourth floor of the casino, a spark from the electric welding ignited the lubricating oil of the traction cable, causing a fire. The fire quickly spread to other floors. The scene was blazing with fire, and sparks kept falling from upstairs. Many Chinese people were trapped in the building and could not escape. The situation was very critical.
Mr. Xie, a former armed police officer, happened to pass by the building and saw many people shaking flashlights and asking for help, so he followed the Cambodian firefighters and rushed up desperately, breaking down the doors one by one to save people. At that time, the fire was still burning, and there were no lights, so the visibility inside was basically 0.
The smoke at the scene was so thick that it was difficult to breathe, and the smell of burning was even more unpleasant. Mr. Xie had no worries. When he reached the first floor, he began to look for the trapped compatriots and drenched them with a large bucket of mineral water. Then he told them to escape with the mineral water while escorting them to the stairs.
After delivering a wave, he continued to go upstairs to participate in the rescue. During the process, Mr. Xie found a Chinese in a room. Because the Chinese’s mobile phone was out of battery, Mr. Xie handed him his mobile phone and asked him to turn on the light to escape, and then returned. Keep saving people.
However, when Mr. Xie ran through all 18 floors and confirmed that all the trapped compatriots had been rescued, when he returned to the first floor, the person who escaped with Mr. Xie’s mobile phone had already left, and the mobile phone was turned off, unable to Dial the number. In addition, Mr. Xie also found that his wallet was also lost in the chaos.
Mr. Xie said that he was just trying to save people out of kindness and did not expect this. It is understood that the mobile phone taken away by Mr. Xie was a Huawei Mate 10, which contained important personal information and was urgently needed to be recovered. The lost wallet was an ordinary black leather wallet with $900 in cash and some business cards inside.
If the compatriot who took the phone away sees this message, please return the phone as soon as possible. If someone finds Mr. Xie’s wallet, please contact Mr. Xie with WeChat ID: KC744709.
