"Chenxing, where are you, Chenxing?"
Gu Shaocheng was bent over the water, frantically shouting in Mandarin till his throat became hoarse, inadvertently swallowing a few gulps of the filthy river water, "Chenxing!!! Chenxing!!!! Where are you?!!!!!!!"
Why couldn't he see Chenxing? It seemed like all the people who had fallen into the water were rescued.
He swam over to those who were saved and hoisted onto the rubber boats, forcibly turning their heads to look at their faces.
Not Chenxing!
Still not Chenxing!
Again, not Chenxing!
Where was Chenxing?!
Someone nearby was shouting, "Have all the people who fell into the water been saved?"
"Has everyone been saved? Is anyone still missing?"
"Everyone, be sure to look around, see if all those around you are accounted for?"
