A woman trapped in a -20-degree freezer in China was dramatically rescued with the help of a delivery driver.

According to the South China Morning Post, a Hong Kong media outlet, Chun, the representative of a refrigerated logistics company, was trapped while organizing products in a freezer alone on the evening of August 31.

The warehouse was set at 20 square meters and the internal temperature was set at minus 20 degrees Celsius. There was a safety regulation that two people must work together when moving goods, but Chun had an accident after failing to comply on that day.




Wearing a short sleeve at the time, she did not have a cell phone and her emergency switch was broken.

In addition, the freezer was located in a remote place, so few people passed by, and the sound insulation effect was superior to that of the general space, making it difficult to request rescue.

Chun hit a box of frozen dumplings against the door and made a noise and asked for help, but soon got tired.




At this time, Liu Shih, a delivery rider who was passing by, heard the sound and approached the scene and opened the door to rescue her.

Liu has a habit of being sensitive to the surrounding environment due to the nature of the delivery business," he said, explaining the situation at the time.

Chun, who was trapped in a freezer for about 20 minutes, suffered from severe hypothermia and took two hours to recover.




Chun delivered monetary compensation to Ryu as a thank you, and also offered part of the company's stake.

She said, `At that moment, the first thing that came to mind was a middle school student, a five-year-old child, and two children"If someone hadn't found me, I would have really frozen to death."

Online "People using frozen warehouses must learn a lesson. With the response that "this kind of luck does not follow every time" "What Mr. Liu saved was not just life, but the happiness of the family" was followed by praise.
