    Reports: Woman catches toddler who fell 10 stories

    BEIJING (AP) — A two-year-old Chinese girl left unattended fell 10 stories from her family's apartment window and survived after being caught by a woman passing by, state media reported Sunday.

    The toddler was in critical condition Sunday with internal bleeding and other unspecified injuries while the woman who saved her suffered a broken arm, China Central Television and the Xinhua News Agency said.

    The girl, named Zhang Fangyu but known by the nickname Niu Niu, was in the care of her grandmother Saturday afternoon when the older woman left the 10th-floor apartment outside the eastern city of Hangzhou to run an errand, CCTV said.

    Neighbors saw Niu Niu dangling from the apartment window for several minutes, Xinhua said, and when the girl fell, Wu Juping "kicked off her high-heeled shoes" and ran to catch the child.

    "It was so urgent. I saw her when she was about to fall and rushed there, and after tens of seconds she fell off," CCTV quoted Wu as saying.

    A 31-year-old mother, Wu told CCTV that when she saw the hanging girl she thought of her own seven-month-old son who had once fallen from a high chair and cut his mouth: "I thought to myself 'I should stretch my arms to her. Because I am right here, I must get her.' Then I made it. I caught her in my arms."

    The impact knocked Wu out and sent her crumbling to the ground along with breaking her left arm, the reports said.

    CCTV quoted an unidentified doctor at the Children's Hospital of Zhejiang Hospital as saying that a scan showed no damage to Niu Niu's brain but that the girl's abdomen was swollen in a sign of possible injury to organs.

        Penny- No kidding! It is times like that, not going through everday life, that show a person's true character.

        Nicholas- Do you ever read any article from anywhere about anything without criticizing the U.S./ Really?
    • NonYa  •  10 mths ago
      wow thank god for that lady. what kind of an idiot mother leaves her 2 year old alone?? your risking your kid's life to run errands??? some people will just never be smart or qualified enough to be mothers, they don't deserve it
      • NonYa 10 mths ago
        i meant you're*
      • Matt 10 mths ago
        maybe if you read the whole article instead of just looking for major bullet points, you would have seen that the baby was "in the care of her grandmother"
      • NonYa 10 mths ago
        maybe if you had some sense, you'd realize it doesn't matter if it's the mother or the grandmother. the grandmother is still a mother, but obviously not smart enough to be taking care of a child

      Chinese people don't really know how to take care their baby. my baby live in China for 6 months. most of the adult smoke in the house, eat and drink with the same cup with baby spreading germ and bacteria around kid. lot of kid running around on the street without parent guiding.
      • Muzzie Hunter 10 mths ago
        you must have been in the slums.. I was there and the families i stayed with took good care of the kids.
      • The Moderate 10 mths ago
        And yet their kids can read, do math, science etc. Then when they grow up these people who weren't taken care of (according to you) manage to not be single parents, gang bangers, drug users, and lazy jerks like half of the western worlds population. Dang they really need you to tell them how to do things.
      • LZ 10 mths ago
        Then, why there are so many Chinese people around?

      What a brave human being!! Did you notice that others had watched the child hanging there but this woman kicked off her shoes and Ran to catch the child! That takes bravery and goodness. Hope both survive with everything intact. Kudos and well wishes to both.

      There are still good people ...
    • law65lee  •  10 mths ago
      the lady is very selfless, facing extreme danger at the expense of her life to attempt to save the falling child. In this world not many people with such admired character exist. I hope she will recover from her injuries and so is the child, if he/she survives will forever be thankful to her.
    • ME.AGAIN  •  10 mths ago
      WOW, TALK ABOUT BEING IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME...........
    • Ernesto Dizon  •  10 mths ago
