A veteran from Shandong sacrificed himself to save a person.  Unfortunately, both of them drowned in Zhujiang river in Guangzhou.
The young man is from Shanxian, Shandong. "He joined the army with me together in 1998. And I` m so sad about it." ,a cadre from the military region in Guangzhou said.
The hero named Niu Zuotao, took a walk with his friends by the river at night. Then they heard someone calling for help around. Without any hesitation,he jumped in but never returned. Now, his family goes to Guangzhou. His friend thinks it is better not to tell his old mother the tragedy. They decided not to tell her son`s death for a while.
The government went to comfort his family as they knew the deeds.
