A group of heroic soldiers used a makeshift rope made out of their training uniforms to rescue a villager trapped in a frozen river in northern China.

Video filmed in the city of Changchun in Jilin Province on March 4 shows a man who had fallen through the ice on a river and two soldiers trying to use emergency sticks to break the ice to open a route.

After that, a soldier threw a makeshift rope made by three training uniforms to the man and pulled the man out of the frozen river with the help of three other soldiers.

The man was sent to hospital for treatment and he was not injured seriously.

The video was provided by local media with permission.

3月4日，吉林长春，一村民身陷冰河被冻得奄奄一息，武警下士李思雨下哨途中正巧看到，与两名战友一起迅速展开救援。三人先用应急棍敲击冰面，成功开辟救援通道。然后脱下作训服做成简易的“救援绳”抛向落水村民，合力将他拖救上岸。随后他们将村民送医治疗，确认其身体无大碍后方才离开。
长春市苇子沟村村委会书记王兴国说道：" 那片池塘十分偏僻，也只有武警上下哨能够看到，感谢武警战士们，你们挽救了一个家庭 。
