Brave villagers rescued a three-year-old girl after she accidentally fell into a water well in eastern China.

In the video, shot in the city of Wenzhou in Zhejiang Province on November 1, a girl can be seen playing with a dog while on a video phone call with her parents, before tripping over by a water well and falling in.

An 84-year-old villager named Li Caihua about to get some water from the well spotted the girl and shouted for help.

A group of villagers having a meeting in a nearby building heard Li and ran to the site to save the girl.

According to reports, a slim villager jumped into the water well to lift the girl up and other people helped bring the girl back to safety together.

To avoid the incident happening again, the village community decided to install guardrails with locks and a warning sign.

11月1日，浙江温州金华市婺城区新狮街道杨家相村，监控显示，当天上午10点15分，小女孩欣怡正拿着手机和爸妈视频聊天，边聊边和小狗玩，结果在退着跑的时候，一不留神落入了井中。刚好这个时候，84岁的村民李彩花到井边准备打水洗菜。
当时，边上村委会大楼内正在开村民代表会，听到李彩花呼救后，村两委和村民代表们全部冲了过来，其中，个头较小的邵建新在看到井中的情况后，马上跳入井中。
仅仅23秒的时间，小女孩在邵建新的托举和众人合力帮助下被成功抱出水井，吐了几口水后开始大哭。从小女孩落水到被救，前后仅1分18秒时间，小女孩幸运地脱离了危险。
欣怡的爸妈在上海工作，欣怡平常都是和爷爷奶奶一起生活，住处就离那口古井200米左右。事发当天，欣怡的奶奶就洗了会儿手的功夫，欣怡就拿着手机边聊着天边跑出了门外。

记者了解到，欣怡落入的古井已经有百年历史，深度有四五米，井口直径为77公分，井口高出地面的部分有45公分。为了避免类似险情再次发生，村两委决定在井外加装带锁的护栏，并做警示标志。
