At around 3 pm on Monday, police of Shangcheng district in Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang Province received a call from a man who said his child had left her chemical medicine on a sharing-bike, but the bike had already been ridden away.

Local patrol team immediately rushed to the scene after receiving the task and found the case reporter in a park bus station. According to the father, his daughter is 10 years old now, and is suffering from leukemia. 

This time, they came to Hangzhou from their hometown in Southwest China's Sichuan Province to ask for medicine, but accidentally lost it. As the medicine costs thousands of yuan and is important for the girl, they called the police for help.

"Please help me, I will die without medicine," the girl said to the police officers. Soon, all the crew members of local Enforcement Bureau joined in the search. Fortunately, after nearly six hours of searching and rummaging through trash cans on the side of the road, the girl's missing medicine was finally found in a trash can near a bus station. Everyone involved in the rescue "marathon" was very happy and hoped that the girl would recover soon.
