On July 1st, a 32-year-old man named Xie went to Beiguozhou to dive and disappeared. The police, fire and government flight service conducted a sea and air search and rescue. Until 3 pm the next day, good news came. Xie Nan was found on Gongzhou about 30 kilometers away, but his left palm was only slightly scratched.

Today (5th), Xie Nan's mother revealed to the reporter of "Hong Kong 01" that his son was weak after returning home and is currently recuperating. The son revealed to her that when drifting, she relied on her willpower to support herself. "Driving on a woman and living in a house." After drifting in the sea all night, the son saw an island in front of him the next day, so he went ashore, but It was found that it was a deserted island. He climbed to the top of the big stone on the island and waved his hands for help. Fortunately, a fishing boat found him after passing by. With the help of the boatman, he returned home safely.

The 32-year-old man named Xie, who disappeared on July 1, was found in Gongzhou on July 2.

After being rescued, Xie Nan did not need to be sent to the hospital and went straight home. Xie's mother said that her son is still in recuperation, and his hands and feet are slightly damaged. She quoted her son as saying that during the rafting at sea, there was no food or water to drink, and she had never slept all night. "You don't know what to say and don't look at your eyes and seek survival." His son once said that when he saw a light during drifting on the sea, he mistakenly thought that a boatman was passing by. At one time he thought he saw hope, but unexpectedly he found it was just an indicator light on the sea.

Support by willpower

During the rafting of the sea, large waves rushed from time to time in the sea, and Xie Nan continued with his will. Climbing to the boulder on the island, I later saw the boatman passing by, waving hands for help, and was finally rescued.

The reporter estimated on Google Map that from Qixing Pai to Gongzhou, the two straight-line distances around the obstacle were about 25 kilometers, while some experts estimated that the two places were about 30 kilometers apart. (Screenshot of Google Map)

Mother Xie learned that her son was very worried after the incident, and had trouble sleeping and sleeping. During the conversation, she burst into tears and said, "There is a parent who would not worry!" Fortunately, his son returned home safely in the end. Mother Xie was very grateful to rescuers who searched for days and thanked the boatman who wanted to help her son when the incident happened. However, the identity of the boatman is currently unknown, so they cannot be contacted.

Afterwards, Xie's mother had inquired about the sea surface situation that day. Many people said that the current was relatively fast and was not suitable for falling into the water. However, it is unknown why the organizer still arranged to disembark. Hey, catch the real diving rope." After that he was floated away. "Don't dare to fall into the water when they see it later." She also clarified that her son later said that she carried two elephants and pulled them out of the sea. The "pull" backpack was placed on the boat, and the "thin elephant pull" has been brought to the sea. "Xiangba" can be used to call for help in an accident.
