A pair saved a father and son from drowning with a bamboo pole in northern China.

The heroic rescue was captured on video in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province, on August 12.

According to witnesses, the father and son were playing near the river when they accidentally slipped and fell in. The river’s depth and strong currents quickly swept them away, putting their lives in immediate danger. Their desperate cries for help caught the attention of Mr Zhang, who was nearby using his phone.

Realising the urgency of the situation, Zhang quickly grabbed a long bamboo pole he found and began his rescue effort. With the assistance of a nearby vendor, he managed to use the pole to guide the struggling pair back to the riverbank. Despite the challenging conditions, Zhang’s swift actions ensured that the father and son were safely recovered within minutes.

The rescued duo was unharmed and expressed their profound gratitude to Zhang and the vendor for their heroic efforts.
