A heroic man risked his life to rescue two children that were being washed away during flash floods in southern China.

The video, filmed in Ganzhou City in Jiangxi Province on June 10, the street in Wujiuba Village was submerged by the water from a nearby river and a boy was being swept away with several chairs by the over one-metre-deep floodwater.

The hero named Li Yijun, walked into the deep floods to save the boy with no regard of his own safety.

In another clip, Li can be seen chasing after and catching another boy who was swept away by the floods.

The exhausted Li spared all his effort to push the second boy onto the wall and then climbed onto it to have a rest.

近日，江西赣州，大吉山镇乌桕坝村街被河水倒灌，狭窄的巷子洪水如柱。眼看几个孩子被湍急的洪水冲走，村民李益军跳入洪流中，一把拽住孩子。2分钟内，他救下2个孩子！在民警和村民的帮助下，共3个孩子先后获救。

事情回到6月10日早上，全南县大吉山镇乌桕坝村街被河水倒灌，短短几分钟，街上水位就达1米多深，迅速淹没了街边低洼处的房屋。

通过当天监控视频可以看到，狭窄的巷子洪水如柱，一名小孩坐在车顶上，而另一个小孩则被急湍的洪水直冲而下，东倒西歪，无法直立；旁边夹杂一些座椅杂物随流直下，随时都可能砸向孩子。

李益军拖着孩子往高处走去，大概离乌桕坝小学与主干道汇聚的T字路口走了近30米的位置，有两位民警将小孩接住转移到了安全的地方。

就在李益军将袁子豪安全地交到民警手中，刚要返回原来站的高处时，头顶上就响起阵阵大喊大叫声。

当时水流非常急，轰隆隆的水流声淹没了双方的声音。站在楼顶的马医生目睹这一切时心里焦急如焚。

情况十分紧急，李益军只能通过马水林手指向的那个黑色漂浮物扑了过去。

通过监控视频可以看到，李益军抓住第二孩子的那一刻，瞬间被洪水倾覆冲往了被掀起的柏油路方向。

连续扑救两个孩子，体力早已透支的李益军，硬是咬着牙，忍着痛，把小孩推上了围墙。自己也用尽了最后的一点力气，借助学校围墙内大树长出来的树枝，慢慢爬上了围墙和小孩坐在一起休息片刻。
