On October 21, 2023, in Xi'an, Shaanxi, a touching video captured a thrilling moment that three young men saved a life in the swift waters of the Taiping River.

In the video, an 85-year-old woman in red and a woman - who is likely to be her family - accidentally fell into the water while crossing a wooden bridge. The woman struggled to stand up in the water, while the old woman was swept downstream in the fast-moving current.

After seeing this scene, three young people standing on the bank rushed into the river one after another to save the old person. According to the filmer, it took the young people only a few dozen seconds to bring the elderly to shore. Fortunately, she was not seriously injured.
