China: Man Jumps Into River to Rescue Drowning Child in Leiyang, Hunan

On April 25, 2026, in Leiyang, located in central China’s Hunan province, a video recorded a rescue beside a small river. A child had accidentally fallen into the water, and a group of adults gathered along the riverbank to help. An elderly person held out a bamboo pole and told the child to keep holding on so the child would not sink. At the same time, another man jumped directly into the water. The man, wearing a white shirt and black pants, lifted the child upward and helped bring the child closer to safety. The rescue happened at around 4 p.m. and was recorded by people nearby. The rescuer later climbed back out safely. Chinese viewers identified him as a deputy director at a local hospital.

Vamenan is known as the “red gold hub” of the province due to its saffron cultivation. Nearly 400 hectares of saffron are cultivated in this village. In 1993, Mohammad Ahmadi, the village's cleric resident, was the first person to plant saffron bulbs in Vamenan. By encouraging the people, he transformed the village and the region's economy.
