Three men rescued a boy who was washed away by the water in a reservoir in eastern China.

Video filmed in the city of Zaozhuang in Shandong Province on July 17 shows two men trying to drag a struggling boy to the shore of a reservoir and another man jumping into the water to help.

According to reports, the boy accidentally fell into an around 2-metre-deep reservoir when he was playing.

The owner of a nearby restaurant named Lyu heard the call for help and jumped into the water to save the boy, followed by another man.

7月17日，山东枣庄山亭区一名男童玩水，不慎掉入近两米深的龙床水库。水库附近饭店老板吕先生听到呼救后，率先跳水营救。随后，第二名男子跳入水中接力，他们拖着男童靠近岸边时，第三名男子入水施救，还有岸边热心人拿着树枝协助上岸。最终男童被顺利营救上岸。 因为救援及时，男童幸无大碍。
吕先生表示，事发地点在枣庄龙床水库。男孩落水时他并没有在现场，自己是在屋里面听到别人大喊“有人落水了”，于是赶紧冲了出去救人。当吕先生赶到时，落水男孩已经被冲跑二三十米远了，他连衣服都来不及脱，便跳进了湍急的水流中。
　　吕先生称，水库水深在2米左右。因为前段时间降雨量较大，再加上泄洪等原因，所以水库水流比较大，也比较急。吕先生回忆说：“跳下去的时候，就觉得在水里很吃力了。虽然我会游泳，但是也费了好大的劲才把孩子拉上来。”
　　吕先生表示：“当时情况比较紧急，啥也没想，救人要紧啊。”在把孩子成功救上岸后，吕先生和其他几位救人者便离开了现场。
　　吕先生表示，每一个山东人在遇到这种情况都会去救人的，这是理所应当的事，以后再遇到紧急情况还是会冲到前面。（视频由山东台提供）
