A man who received a medal for his role in the relief efforts following the Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008 is selling the award because his business has failed, the Beijing Times reported on Tuesday.

Yin Chunlong, a 24-year-old farmer from Ziyang city, Sichuan province, became famous after rescuing Yu Jinhua, who was buried under debris for six days, and Ma Yuanjiang, the last survivor of the Wenchuan earthquake.

Yin also helped find the body of a captain whose airplane crashed on a mountain, the report said.

He was awarded the National Model of Earthquake Disaster Relief by the central government in 2008.
