A four-year-old girl who fell from the 20th floor has saved her life with the help of residents after hanging from the security window on the 13th floor.

According to Chinese media such as Xin Hunan and People's Daily, a 4-year-old girl was found narrowly hanging from the security window on the 13th floor after falling from the 20th floor at around 5:56 p.m. on the 16th of last month in an apartment in Luudi, Hunan Province, China.

Wu Yu-mei, a resident of the 14th floor, heard a sudden 'Boom' while preparing for dinner and was checking the window when she saw a young girl caught in the security window downstairs. It is believed that the child was caught in a security window shortly after the crash on the 20th floor and was barely able to withstand it.




Woo immediately opened the window and held the child's hand tightly so that it wouldn't fall off. At the same time, I instructed my 16-year-old son to call for help, and asked for help with a video in the neighborhood group chat room.

She said "If you're looking at this message, please help. I can't stand it anymore" cried out.

Later, two residents living in the same apartment rushed to Woo's house to help him catch the child.




A few minutes later, the fire brigade and police broke the hallway window and rescued the child using a safety rope.

Fortunately, hospital tests confirmed that the child had no significant health problems.

Woo had a bruise on his hand during the rescue.




The 4-year-old child does not live in the apartment and is said to have fallen over the window of the 20th floor after coming to play with his parents.

The next day, the child's parents visited Woo's house to express their gratitude, and also delivered thank-you banners to the workplaces of two other residents.

Mr. Wu cried in so fright as he asked for help. My hands were sweaty and I was afraid of missing the child"When the rescue was over, the legs were loosened," he recalled. Then "I'm also a mother of two. It was instinct to save the child," he added.
