To save or not to save?

It is reported that more than ten college students from Changjiang University jumped into the water of the Yangtze River to rescue two teenagers. The two teenagers were saved successfully, however, at the expense of their own life, which generates heated discussion.

Most people are in favour of the great deed, arguing that struggling for a just cause is a traditional virtue of our nation. More heroic conducts are bound to be inspired by the moving deed. What's more, the situation being so emergent, by no means should we hesitate for the sake of our safety.

However, there are still students who doubt the conduct, insisting that unable to swim, it's unwise to act passionately as well as greatly risking their lives. After all, they should cherish their own lives firstly. Apart from that, it is on no account impossible for them to rescue the teenagers in other ways other than jimping into the river.

Personally, I think the college students' deed as a great and inspiring one, which should be encouraged.
