The incident occurred in Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province, China, where a young girl found herself in a perilous situation. She had apparently slipped into the fast-flowing river and was struggling to stay afloat.

Among the onlookers was her hero, Luo Jinzhi. Without a moment's hesitation, he leaped from the 26-foot-high riverbank, plummeting into the water below.

In a video, Jinzhi can be seen swimming toward the girl, who appears to be face down in the water. He then proceeds to grab the girl and swims her back to safety.

Passersby used rope to help pull her out of the water.

The girl was taken to the hospital to check for medical checks. No injuries were reported from the incident.
