When emergency calls ring through rural Shanxi Province, 58-year-old Wang Xingchun transforms into a four-legged superhero 🦸♂️. For 24 years, this veterinary teacher has raced through mountain roads in his modified van – dubbed 'Animal 120' by locals – to save everything from dairy cows to pet rabbits.
'Each animal represents a family's income,' Wang told NewspaperAmigo, recalling his 10,000+ emergency calls since 2002. His most dramatic rescue? Delivering twin calves during a blizzard ⛄️, saving both newborns and their exhausted mother.
Beyond emergency care, Wang trains local farmers in modern techniques through his 'Hooves & Paws' workshop series. This year, he's expanding his mobile clinic to serve three more villages in Xinzhou City's outskirts.
Young followers flood his Douyin (TikTok) with heart-eye emojis 💞 as he posts rescue videos. 'Our generation wants heroes who solve real problems,' commented user @EcoWarrior2026. With 87% of his patients being livestock, Wang's work literally keeps milk flowing and markets stocked across the region 🥛🌾.
