According to Chinese media NetEaseCom and Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, Yang, a 54-year-old man from Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, visited Chogasaki Beach, a tourist attraction in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, with his wife on the 16th.
Hearing that someone had fallen into the sea, he found a woman floating with her face up in the water.
At that time, the cliff was almost vertical, so it was difficult to go down, but Yang came to the rescue.
In particular, having recently had clavicle surgery, he started going down the beach at his own risk.
He `was shaking in his legs. People shouted 'Don't go, it's too dangerous' from a nearby bridge, but I just thought I had to save it.'
The site manager threw a life tube, but it flew far away due to strong winds, and tourists around him threw a large plastic bag containing an empty bottled water bottle into the water as a buoyancy device on the spot.
Nevertheless, as the woman gradually sank into the water with her face down, Yang jumped into the water, supported the plastic bag on her head and shoulders, and dragged her to the coast in the backstroke.
However, it was not easy to get on land due to strong reflux and slippery rocks. With limited movement in his left arm, he clambered up the rock with a woman's hair in his mouth. Later, two local rescue workers arrived and moved the woman to the rescue ship, and Yang was also rescued from exhaustion.
Mr. Yang "My muscles felt stiff and paralyzed. I tried to climb the cliff, but I gave up because I ran out of energy"At that time, saving lives without thinking was the priority. After the rescue, I was completely exhausted as if I had completed a marathon" he said.
Wounded on his left arm as he climbed the rock, he added that he only knows that the woman is Japanese, but he does not know why she fell out.
Netizens are very brave. I pay tribute to the hero", "This kind of good deed should be widely known", "I applaud the instinctive courage for human life and the love that transcends borders." give a back reaction.
