00:00 This video was recently captured in China, and this is the moment a young girl fell into
00:04 a river and found herself needing rescuing.
00:07 The incident took place on September 11th in Tianwan City.
00:11 It's unclear why the girl was so close to the river, but after she fell in, onlookers
00:15 were absolutely horrified as she began to be swept away by the current.
00:20 As she began to float down the river, one bystander jumped to action and jumped into
00:24 the river himself.
00:25 He swam out to the child and began to be swept away with her.
00:28 However, he managed to reach her and safely get her back to shore and out of harm's way.
00:32 Luckily, this incident had a happy ending as local authorities say the girl was retrieved
00:37 from the river without any injuries, and bystanders aided her once she was removed from the current.
00:41 However, the same cannot be said for other areas in China.
00:45 Recent typhoons and non-stop rain have led to countless deaths around the East Asian
00:49 country with landslides and flooding leading to the deaths of at least seven people in
00:53 the southern part of the country.
00:55 Experts say these typhoons are getting stronger every year and they're becoming more difficult
00:59 to predict, meaning they could become even more dangerous in the future.
