As a national model, Cai Yongxiong saved the lives of many Red Guards on October 10th of 1966 when Cai was the guard on duty at the Qiantangjiang Rail-Road Bridge [钱塘江大桥]. He noticed a log lying across the train track
on which the passenger train was approaching. Cai had no time to stop the train but heroically lifted the log away from the track. Tragically, he died in the accident. On October 31th of 1966, People's Daily released an article to formally acknowledge his heroic act.
