Kind-hearted residents rescued a family of four trapped in a flooded river in southern China.

Video filmed in the city of Nanning in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on September 11 shows a family of four getting trapped in the middle of a flooded river.

Two men held a long wooden stick to let the trapped family members grab it and walked to the safe area one by one.

According to the filmer Mr Mo, the place is a tourist attraction and tourists usually play and take pictures there.

When the family walked into the river, it was shallow. But the floodwater washed down into the river from a nearby mountain as it just rained, causing the family to get trapped inside.

Mo was drinking tea and chatting with friends nearby. After he saw the incident, he also went to help rescue the family.

Fortunately, no one was injured.

9月11日，广西南宁上林县。一家四口雨后在桥下看风景拍照，突然遇到山洪，来不及躲避被困在水中。据当事人莫先生称，这是一个旅游景点，山上有水流下来。平时有人在那玩耍拍照，当时水流不大，当时刚下完雨，不一会山洪就来了，结果游客来不及跑就被困了。自己刚好在不远处喝茶聊天，看到这一幕就过来帮忙了。用了竹子绳子等，还好人没大碍，如果晚点就不得了了。（视频由广西台提供）
