On May 22 in Yangjiang, southern China, a dramatic rescue unfolded when a three-year-old girl was found crying and precariously clinging to a second-floor balcony after being accidentally locked inside by her mother who had gone out on an errand.

The girl's cries caught the attention of an elderly neighbor who, upon seeing the situation, was alarmed and attempted to catch the child if she fell. The grandmotherly figure began shouting for help, alerting other neighbors to the unfolding emergency.

Several neighbors quickly gathered, with one even bringing a tarp. Together, six neighbors stretched out the tarp below the balcony, ready to catch the girl if she fell. Just as they got into position, the girl fell, but was safely caught by the neighbors, escaping unharmed.

The girl's father, Mr. Luo, explained that her mother had gone to pick up her older sister from school, leaving the younger girl at home with a phone. Feeling scared upon seeing the locked front door, the girl climbed to the balcony in search of her mother and accidentally fell. Thanks to the quick and heroic actions of the neighbors, the girl was saved. She was taken to the hospital for a check-up and was found to be unharmed. Mr. Luo expressed immense gratitude, calling the neighbors' actions a life-saving intervention.

5月22日，广东阳江发生了这令人惊心动魄的一幕。
一名3岁的女孩趴在2楼的阳台上一个劲哭喊。原来是妈妈出去有事，把她一个人锁在了家里。
女孩的哭声引来了一位邻居奶奶的注意，走过来一看着实被吓了一跳。看着阳台上摇摇欲坠的孩子，奶奶也是惊慌失措，试图用手接住将要掉下来的孩子。
情急之中奶奶也是一个劲大喊:：快来人啊！快来人啊！寻求更多周围邻居的帮助和支援。
接下来，令人激动的一幕出现了，周围陆续有邻居闻讯匆匆赶来，有一个人手里还拿着一张篷布。大家合伙把篷布拉开，以防孩子落下能把她接住。
六位邻居拉着篷布刚站好位，小女孩瞬时坠落，幸好被邻居们稳稳的接住，有惊无险，小孩的身体没有什么大碍。
据孩子的爸爸罗先生介绍，当时孩子妈妈去接姐姐放学了，小女儿自己在家玩手机，小女儿看到一楼的大门锁住了，有些紧张害怕，就爬到二楼的阳台上想找妈妈，结果不小心掉了下来，幸好被热心的邻居救下了。事后带孩子去医院检查了，没事儿，是邻居们给了孩子第二次生命。
