A heroic woman blocked a glass window that fell down to rescue a girl in southern China.

The terrifying CCTV video, filmed in the city of Mianyang in Sichuan Province on May 15, shows a glass door suddenly falling down when several children playing nearby.

A woman named Jiang Yan was seen trying to hold up the door, but was knocked down and buried under it with one of the girls playing.

Nearby people ran to lift the door up immediately to free Jiang and the girl.

Since Jiang held the door, it had a gap for the young girl, so she only suffered minor scratches.

According to reports, Jiang's husband and her daughter were playing on the square when she was waiting on the side.

When Jiang tried to tell the children to not touch the glass door as it was unstable, the door suddenly fell down. She then attempted to protect the children by trying to hold the door.

Jiang has already been discharged from the hospital and was recovering at home. The building's developer has contacted Jiang to take the responsibility for the incident.

5月15日晚上9时20分，绵阳涪城区海珂三千城小区外一茶楼楼下，蒋艳正看着孩子玩耍。“我丈夫和大女儿那时候正在广场上耍，玻璃门前有几个不认识的孩子，我的小女儿在附近，但不在门下。”蒋艳回忆15日晚上的情景，一开始玻璃门还没有完全倒下，晃晃悠悠的，几个小孩想要过去扶住，她刚告诉小朋友不要去扶，没想玻璃门突然倾斜倒了下来，那一刻她来不及考虑，只想着“我应该可以撑住一点，不能砸到孩子”。
出于本能，蒋艳用双手去撑出门，由于门太重，她瞬间被压在下面。蒋艳撑起玻璃门形成的三角区域，也让门下的孩子有机会脱身。旁边的人们迅速反应，赶紧过来将门扶起，蒋艳丈夫李帆把她拖了出来，随后拨打了120。
28日中午，记者来到剑门路西段海珂三千城小区。“当时我们在店内工作，听到声音马上出去看，大家在合力抬门救人。”一位被救小孩的家长在附近理发店工作，“听到孩子差点被砸，我魂都快没了，太感谢那位妈妈，希望她早日康复！”这位家长告诉记者，她女儿只受了点擦伤，现在已经没有大碍，听其他人说蒋艳已经出院静养，她送去了果篮交给蒋艳的母亲。

随后，记者联系到当事人蒋艳。据了解，27日蒋艳办理出院，目前在家静养。下午2时许，记者来到蒋艳的家中，她慢慢从房间走出来，走路不需要人搀扶，看起来仍有些虚弱。事情发生后，开发商联系到蒋艳一家人，表示愿意承担责任。（视频由绵阳日报提供）
