In the cold wind in the early hours of February 22, a 73-year-old elderly man who lived alone was unable to return to his residence on the top of Fuhu Mountain in Zhuodaoquan due to snow and ice. Wuhan Hongshan** paved a way home for the elderly by laying sacks alternately.
At about 1 a.m. on February 22, the Zhuodaoquan Police Station of the Hongshan District Bureau of the Wuhan Municipal Public Security Bureau received an elderly man trapped in the snowy night from the police station. Ma Cao, the policeman on duty, and his colleagues inquired and learned that the old man went out on the evening of the 21st, and when he returned to his residence in the early morning, he was unable to walk on a steep slope of nearly 70 meters due to snow and ice.
I'll just sleep on a chair in the house, and I'll go tomorrow at dawn. The old man said embarrassedly to the police. Considering the physical condition of the old man, the police decided to send the old man home that night to get the best rest.

Ma Cao and his colleagues immediately found four sacks, two of them played umbrellas and supported the elderly, and the other two took turns laying sacks on the elderly's route to increase the friction of the road and prevent the elderly from slipping.
Mother-in-law, slow down, don't rush. The old man was afraid of dragging his feet, and his pace was a little hurried, so everyone advised the old man to walk slowly. In the biting cold wind, the 70-meter uphill section became extremely difficult, and the hands of the people's police auxiliary police were already frozen, allowing the ice and snow to blow on their faces.
With the unremitting efforts of the people's police and auxiliary police, they finally climbed to the top of the mountain and sent the old man home safely. Police officer Ma Cao noticed that the old man had difficulty moving during the day, so he went to a nearby convenience store and bought instant noodles, bread and other food at his own expense to ensure that the old man would not worry about food in a short time. After checking the electricity in the old man's home** and confirming that everything was normal, the police repeatedly told the old man to pay attention to safety, and then returned to the station with confidence.
