In recent days, smog has significantly reduced visibility. The day before yesterday, an elderly man living near Mufu Mountain in Nanjing lost his sense of direction while hiking due to the poor visibility and ended up taking the wrong path. He became trapped on a cliff near the Damo Cave on Mufu Mountain, which is close to the river. Fortunately, he still had enough strength to call for help.

  At 10:00 AM that day, the on-duty police officer at Yanziji Police Station received a call from an elderly man reporting that he was lost on Mufu Mountain and trapped on a cliff halfway up the mountain, unable to descend. Upon receiving the call, Officer Wang quickly arrived at the Damo Cave on Mufu Mountain. He heard someone shouting for help near a cliff halfway up the mountain. At that time, heavy morning fog enveloped the mountain, and the dense forest made it impossible to clearly see the elderly man’s exact location. Officer Wang had a clever idea and shouted to the elderly man, “Sir, don’t panic, I’m a police officer. I can’t see your location right now—please take off your jacket, hold it over your head, and wave it.” The elderly man followed his instructions, and soon Officer Wang spotted his location. However, due to the rugged terrain, climbing up was quite difficult. Officer Wang comforted the elderly man while speaking to him and also called for assistance from the fire department. When the firefighters arrived, they faced a steep mountain path and went through great efforts to finally rescue the elderly man. (Reporter: Ren Guoyong, Correspondent: Qi Wenxuan)
