In Hebei, China, firefighter Ku Xuehui in Cangzhou bravely rescued a trapped 3-year-old girl in a fire by giving her his breathing mask, causing him to inhale a large amount of smoke that damaged his brain, resulting in his intelligence regressing to that of a 3-year-old. Despite successfully saving the girl, Ku suffered severe respiratory burns and later developed cognitive and physical impairments, including speech and cognitive decline, sleepiness, and even collapsing, eventually being diagnosed with toxic and delayed brain damage. Ku's wife shared their struggles in caring for him, with their son taking on responsibilities and colleagues supporting his rehabilitation efforts.
