澳大利亚追授中国留学生蒋安桐英勇行为嘉奖：三年前在伍伦贡海滩救人牺牲
据新华社10月30日悉尼电，澳大利亚新南威尔士州伍伦贡大学10月29日为中国留学生蒋安桐举行追思会。三年前，蒋安桐在伍伦贡的仙女草地海滩（Fairy Meadow Beach）搭救遇险同学时不幸身亡；今年他被追授澳大利亚「英勇行为嘉奖」，中澳各界人士在追思会上共同缅怀。
蒋安桐出生于1995年，2023年7月从中国到伍伦贡大学攻读硕士学位。2023年10月29日，他与几名同学在仙女草地海滩活动时，发现当地学生贾斯廷·彭（Justin Peng）在海中遇险。蒋安桐参与下海搭救，却被离岸流卷走，献出了年轻的生命，贾斯廷·彭最终获救。贾斯廷·彭在10月29日的追思会上对新华社记者说：「我感觉自己获得了第二次生命。」
今年9月1日，澳大利亚总督莫斯廷公布2026年度英勇行为授奖名单，蒋安桐被追授「英勇行为嘉奖」（Commendation for Brave Conduct）。10月21日，新南威尔士州州督玛格丽特·比兹利在伍伦贡大学将这项追授荣誉颁给蒋安桐，荣誉证书由他的父母代为领取。
追思会由中国驻悉尼总领馆在伍伦贡大学举办。三年间，伍伦贡大学以蒋安桐的名字设立了奖学金，并举办纪念足球赛，让他的故事在校园中延续。据追思会上讲述，蒋安桐生前热心助人：一次外出骑行时，一名同学意外摔伤，他主动呼叫救护车，并在医院急诊室陪伴了整整一夜。
Australia Posthumously Honours Chinese Student Jiang Antong with a Bravery Commendation, Three Years After He Died Rescuing a Classmate at a Wollongong Beach
A memorial meeting was held at the University of Wollongong in New South Wales, Australia, on October 29 for Jiang Antong, a Chinese student who died three years ago rescuing a classmate in the sea at Fairy Meadow Beach in Wollongong, Xinhua reported from Sydney on October 30. Jiang was posthumously awarded Australia's Commendation for Brave Conduct this year, and people from both China and Australia gathered at the meeting to remember him.
Jiang Antong was born in 1995 and arrived at the University of Wollongong in July 2023 to pursue a master's degree. On October 29, 2023, while at Fairy Meadow Beach with several classmates, he saw local student Justin Peng in trouble in the water. Jiang joined the rescue effort but was swept away by a rip current and lost his life; Peng was saved. "I feel like I've been given a second life," Peng told Xinhua at the memorial meeting on October 29.
On September 1 this year, Governor-General Sam Mostyn announced the 2026 Australian Bravery Awards, in which Jiang was posthumously awarded the Commendation for Brave Conduct. On October 21, New South Wales Governor Margaret Beazley presented the honour at the University of Wollongong, where Jiang's parents received the certificate on his behalf.
The memorial meeting was hosted at the university by the Chinese Consulate-General in Sydney. Over the past three years, the University of Wollongong has established a scholarship in Jiang's name and held a memorial football match, keeping his story alive on campus. As recounted at the meeting, Jiang was known for helping others: on a cycling trip, when a classmate was injured in a fall, he called an ambulance and stayed with the classmate in the emergency room through the night.
