According to the video, the cat had been stuck there for nine days and was growing visibly weaker. After several tense moments, he reached the cat, secured it, and slowly descended, prompting applause from onlookers. Zhang later said the cat was taken to a temporary foster shelter for care and observation.

A Farm In The Desert Of New Valley Governorate - Cairo

Workers transport a well-drilling rig at the site of Owainat Water Well Project in the desert of New Valley Governorate, Egypt, on May 3, 2025. Over 1,300 kilometers away from the capital Cairo, a sea of ripe wheat, rippling in the breeze, are waiting to be harvested in a desert. "It used to be an arid desert here and the well-drilling teams have turned it into farmland," said Mohamed Gabar, a worker with the Owainat Water Well Project operated by ZPEC (China's Zhongman Petroleum and Natural Gas Group Corp., Ltd.) branch in Egypt. The project, located in southern desert of New Valley Governorate, is part of the country's efforts to accelerate its desert reclamation initiatives since 2015. At the project site, six towering rigs are drilling deep into the desert in search of groundwater. "There are six well-drilling teams, comprising over 130 employees from China and Egypt," said the project manager Zhao Baojiang.
