Beijing: Gao Yuhan, 51, is the \"ambulance\" in his west Beijing community. He and other volunteers carry elderly people down stairways when they are too unwell to walk down themselves.
\r\nOn receiving a call for help, Gao hurries to the patient\'s house with a stretcher and informs other stretcher bearers. Carrying a patient to the ground floor usually takes about five minutes. Sometimes he responds faster than an ambulance. |
