A young Chinese man managed to save a baby girl who had fallen from the window of his fifth-floor apartment seconds before hitting the ground in east China’s Zhejiang province, in what communication platform pioneers hailed as a heroic act.
A video clip released by local police on Wednesday, July 20, 2022, shows the two-year-old girl falling onto a billboard on the ceiling of a first-floor balcony, then sliding over the edge onto the sidewalk as Shane. Dong (31) was on the street when he heard the first crash, so he rushed to catch him before he hit the concrete surface.

Shane, who works at a nearby bank, called 911 as she rushed to help the baby with another woman, but she immediately dropped the phone and managed to catch the baby in time.
He didn’t notice her child until he started moving seconds after landing on the balcony, and when he did, he fell again, and according to Shen, Shen ran and caught him before he hit the ground. Chinese local newspapers say.

“I was lucky I made it at the right time. Otherwise, I would have felt pretty terrible,” Shane said.
“The child survived because the balcony he fell on had materials to arrest the fall,” Shen said.
The video went viral after local police posted it on China’s popular Weibo website, as activists hailed him as a hero for bravely coming forward at a critical moment, and one demanded compensation for Chen’s broken phone. .
