Firefighters deserve more than sympathy

A PHOTO of a fireman having a rest after a long-distance running exercise in Fuzhou, Fujian province, which shows his back abraded and bleeding because of his breathing equipment, went viral after the man's colleagues posted it on social media, with many people expressing their sympathy. Beijing News comments:

The photo shows the hard training that prepares firefighters for emergencies.

The fireman, in his mid-20s, marveled at the sensation caused by the photo, as he thinks it was just a normal part of firemen's training, and he took it for granted.
