A brave man rescued a 4-year-old boy hanging from a fourth-floor window of a residential building in southern China.

Video filmed in the city of Nanchang in Jiangxi Province on March 16 shows a security guard protecting a man named Xiong Xiaohui who stood on the clotheslines outside the third-floor window to hold up a boy hanging from the fourth-floor window.

In another clip, Xiong was seen climbing up to the fourth floor with his bare hands to reach the stricken infant.

According to reports, Xiong heard someone from a nearby building shouting: "Can anyone help? A boy climbed to my balcony!"

So he asked the security guard named Huang Sanhe to rush to the third-floor balcony with him.

Two other security guards held a quilt under the building, in case the boy fell.

According to reports, the boy's mother was taking another child to school while he was asleep.

When he woke up, he stood on a chair and climbed out of the window.

Fortunately, he was not injured in the ordeal.

5楼阳台外侧，10余米高空，4岁男童命悬一线。一男子不顾自身安危，毫无防护措施，站在4楼阳台晾衣杆上托举救援。最终与众人合力，将孩子成功救下。“托举哥”熊小辉与被救者家庭素不相识，回想起来还有一丝后怕，是善举和信念支撑起他勇气与力量。
3月16日上午8时15分许，江西南昌市进贤县民和镇阳光尊邸小区业主熊小辉，正准备下楼买早点，无意间听到19栋3单元4楼邻居的呼喊声——“来人啊！有个小孩爬到我家阳台上了！”他顺势看去，一名男童整个身体悬空在5楼阳台外侧，一只小手抓着栏杆，止不住嚎啕大哭。因脚下支撑面过于狭窄，小男孩支撑不住，身体不住摇晃，随时有坠楼危险。
“我当时什么也没有多想，救人要紧”。事后，家住同一小区的熊小辉平淡地说。他喊来物业保安黄三和，两人一起冲向了4楼业主家阳台。情急之下，熊小辉顾不上个人安危，站在晾衣架上，年逾六旬的保安黄三和紧紧抱住熊小辉双腿，四楼邻居两夫妻死死拉住黄三和，众人合力用最原始的“人链”支撑力量，熊小辉将男童托举住，长达十余分钟。另外两个保安闻讯赶来，在楼下还拉起了被子，以防万一。熊小辉介绍，当时顾不上那么多，但事后回想还是有点后怕的。
由于没有着力点，体力逐渐不支，二人便想办法，准备爬上去将孩子抱回室内。黄三和便找来一个凳子，固定在4楼的窗台上，熊小辉站在上面，双手扒着墙壁，爬上5楼阳台，顺利将孩子解救下来。幸好救援及时，孩子只受了点惊吓。
据了解，男孩的母亲在他熟睡时，出门送另一个孩子去学校，小男孩醒来时看见母亲不在家，就自己用小椅子垫脚，打开了阳台的窗户爬了出去，才发生了这惊险一幕。（视频由江西台提供）
