China: Woman Keeps Sweeping Balcony as Earthquake Shakes Building

This astonishing moment captures a woman calmly sweeping her balcony as her home shakes violently during a 5.8-magnitude earthquake. On June 11, 2025, in Shantou, Guangdong, a surreal scene unfolded as tremors from an offshore earthquake near Taiwan rocked the region. Despite visible shaking — furniture swaying and walls trembling — a middle-aged woman continued sweeping her balcony floor, showing no signs of panic or hesitation. The earthquake struck at around 7:00 p.m., with its epicenter located off the coast of Taiwan’s Taitung County at a depth of 20 kilometers. Residents across parts of Guangdong, including Shantou, reported feeling the quake. The video ends with the woman still focused on cleaning, seemingly unfazed by the tremors around her.
