After Typhoon Maysak brought torrential rain on July 7, severe flooding inundated Guigang Senior High School, trapping nearly 4,000 teachers and students. Military authorities dispatched rescue forces. Wu and his fellow soldiers piloted assault boats through the flooded campus, evacuating stranded teachers and students to safety.
