During July the 5th riots in Urumqi, regardless of their own safety, many people tried their best to help the injured and send them to the hospital. Rezhak and his friends sent an injured child to hospital. They are relieved to have found out the child is in a stable condition.

Visiting patients in hospital is common. But visiting a child who you helped to save is even more special.

Rezhak helped send Yao Tianhao to hospital. Now, he is happy to see the child recovering.

Rezhak, employee of XInjiang Bureau of Radio, Film & TV, said, "At that time, I felt I must help him, and save him from danger. I think other people would have done the same if they were me."

On the night of July the 5th, the child was seriously injured by rioters. His father couldn't find a car to send the child to hospital. Distraught, he turned to his colleague, Rezhak for help.

Father Yao Zhigang said, "He called several people, and borrowed his friend's car. Two of his friends sent us directly to the hospital. We were blocked a few times on the way, but thanks to their help, we arrived here in time, or the consequence could have been horrible."

The doctors said if the child was sent to hospital too late, the injury could have been fatal. Now, after receiving medical treatment in time, he is in stable condition.
