A heart-wrenching incident occurred in Boshan district of Zibo city, Shandong province, where Wang Long, a 36-year-old man, lost his life while saving a mother and her child from drowning during the May Day holiday.
The emergency took place at a local riverside resort where Wang was enjoying free time with his own family.
At around 2:30 pm on May 3, a six-year-old boy fell into the deep water zone while playing in the shallow area. In a panic, his mother followed, trying to reach her son, but both ended up being trapped in the river.
