1 . ON TUESDAY, the Shenzhen team of Blue Sky Rescue, confirmed (确认) that two of its members had died trying to rescue 24 tourists.

According to the official news, it was on Monday that the rescue team received a call from 24 travelers, who were trapped, in a river valley.

The team responded immediately. However, when they helped the travelers, two team members got trapped by the rising river water. The next day, they were confirmed dead.

Who can rescue the rescuers? The question aroused a heated discussion among people. Most of them think we would rather such “heroic deeds” were not required. In the past several years, there have been many cases in which travelers, ignoring the signs saying certain areas are dangerous and off-limits (禁止进入的), ended up needing to be rescued. By so doing, they put not only their own lives at risk but also the lives of those who go to their aid.

Although the majority of travelers behave properly, some attempt challenging tasks that are obviously beyond their abilities.

The law has already made it clear that if a traveler or group gets into difficulties when entering unauthorized (未经许可的) regions, they must bear the costs of the rescue. The rules need strengthening to deter travelers from putting their own lives and the lives of others at risk.
