"But how can that be enough? I heard that you went into the burning building to save people, and while you were rescuing them, a second explosion occurred inside. You risked your own life to do this. We really should offer you our thanks. Are you a local from Pu'er?" the fire chief asked.
Hearing this, Zhang Beixing paused and then shook his head. "No, I'm from Shishi. Why?"
"Oh, nothing, just asking. Mainly because, comrade, you've helped us a great deal, and we wanted to express our gratitude. We're planning to present you with a commendation for your community spirit. Do you plan on staying in Pu'er for much longer?"
"Probably another two or three days," Zhang Beixing replied, thinking of the travel arrangements Huo Honghao had mentioned to him that day.
