Man Hailed As 'HERO', Watch Video To Believe!

This man is truly a 'HERO', on hearing a cry for help, he managed to rescue two children being swept away in a flood. After the video was shared online, it has been viewed by thousands who hailed him a hero.

The man identified as Li Yijun from China, rushed out and jumped into water to save a child who was being carried down a street by the force of the water.

According to NDTV reports, the incident occurred last Monday, after a street in Dajishan town was flooded when a nearby river burst its banks. After rescuing the first child, he went back into water less than two minutes later to save another child.

Black and white footage of the incident, which has gone viral on Chinese social media platforms, shows Yijun wading through waist-deep water to rescue the children, reports NDTV.

Many have praised his courage, though he himself says he only did what anyone would do in an emergency. "True hero," wrote one person in the comments section. "Real superheroes don't need to wear masks and capes," said another.
