A village official carried a trapped elderly woman through deep floodwater to safety in eastern China.

The heroic video was filmed in Linyi City in Shandong Province on July 7.

The torrential rain led to significant water accumulation in multiple locations within Bailin Village, trapping some residents in their homes. Faced with this emergency, Liu Jiwei, the village Party branch secretary, immediately activated the flood emergency plan and deployed 25 rescue team members to the worst-affected areas for patrols and rescues.

An 89-year-old woman and her grandson were trapped in their flooded house. Obstacles prevented the rescue boat from approaching, so the team tied a rope to a tree and carried the pair across the water, holding onto the rope to reach safety.

After eight hours of relentless rescue work, the Bailin Village officials and emergency teams successfully evacuated 15 trapped villagers. Among those rescued were elderly individuals and young children, whose safety was effectively ensured.
