More stories of personal heroism in China. This is part eight.
Here are some more videos of personal heroism. These videos all take place in China, and show examples of how average, normal, everyday people (or dogs and cats) can make a difference. When the calling strikes and an emergency occurs, will you be the one who turns their back, or will you run and offer help? Will you be the one who stays playing on the cell-phone, or will you lend a helping hand? Will you be the person who will make a difference in the lives of those around you, or are you just going to fade into the background.
Make a difference. Be like Rufus!

These are all micro-videos of very short duration. From ten seconds to three minutes. I would suggest that you, the reader, allow them to load to get the full experience.
Video 1 – Dog saves a little girl.
A dog is man’s best friend. Well, also little girls as well…
Video 2 – You can be the first responder.
When things go wrong what are you going to do? Call the police? Wait a half an hour until help arrives, or will you be the Rufus?
Video 3 – High stakes save in an apartment building.
This little tyke in his terrible twos (obviously) thought that it was a good idea to climb over the railing in his high rise apartment. Lucky for him, that a number of Rufus’s were nearby to come to his aide.
Video 4 – Young driver going the wrong way on a busy road.
Well, you have to give the kid credit. He’s not going to wait around and learn how to drive in school. He’ll just go out on his own and make his own way in the world. And so he does… just about breaking every rule in the book and being a danger to himself and others.
Lucky there is a policeman nearby.
Video 5 – Rescue of a man in a wheelchair.
This crazy guy tries to take his wheelchair down an escalator. Oh my goodness! Well, it doesn’t work out well and everything falls apart rather quickly.
Lucky for him that Rufus was nearby…
Video 6 – Preventing a train accident.
Of all the places to break down… why does it have to be on top of railroad tracks? Well, that’s the kind of thing that happens from time to time and when that happens, it’s pretty much “curtains” for you and your vehicle. But in this case, he was lucky. Rufus was nearby…
Video 7 – Tribute to firemen.
Here’s a tribute to firemen. Whether you are in China or the Untied States, Africa or Russia, the firemen are always there to help you, save lives and risk their own for the betterment of society. They are all the RUFUS.
Video 8 – Emergency Police ride to the hospital.
Emergencies happen when you are least expecting them. And when you need help you run to the people that can help. Here, in China, it is often a motorcycle police officer. In this case the infant needs to be rushed to the hospital. There is no delay, when the calling shouts at you…
…you take action…
Video 9 – Police helps and old man.
This old fellow needs to cross six lanes of a typical city highway. Yet he is slow and pokey as can be. I’ve seen snails and turtles go faster. Yet, no one helps him. That is until a police man steps in and offers a helping hand.
Video 10 – Rufus cleans up the street.
You do not need to rescue people, or fight fires to make a difference. You just need to be helpful, positive and good. Smiling helps as does doing your own very small part int he community. Take the leap and just make the world a little bit nicer for you, your family and the community that you are a part of.
Conclusion
We do not know when the calling will come. However, when it calls, you must take action.
It will not make you wealthy, rich, famous, or attractive. But, it will make a difference when you are judged upon death.
Be the Rufus.
Make a difference. Help others. It’s our highest calling.

Here are some other similar posts on this venue. If you enjoyed this post, you might like these posts as well. These posts tend to discuss growing up in America. Often, I like to compare my life in America with the society within communist China. As there are some really stark differences between the two.

I have broken apart some other posts. They can best be classified about ones actions as they contribute to happiness and life. They are a little different, in subtle ways.
![What High School taught me about Diversity. Here we look at idea of "diversity" from the point of view of what it was like in my High School years. For my High School was fully and intentionally diverse. And at that time, there were two techniques of grouping people. These techniques were by [1] merit, and [2] by random association. Or in other words; "diversity". Thus we can compare diversity against merit as the criteria used in a selection process.](https://metallicman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/1-23-1024x235.gif)
