At least 61 people have been killed and 356,000 have been evacuated from their homes as heavy rains and floods swept the streets of southern and central China last week. Earlier, a video of a landslide easily sweeping away a row of cars and burying them, in East China’s Fujian, went viral on social media.

In this extremely tricky situation, this man managed to rescue two children being swept away in the flood. Hearing a cry for help, Li Yijun rushed out to help and jumped into the water to save a child who was being carried down the street by the force of water. The man has been hailed a hero on the Internet for valiantly jumping in to save the kid, without much regard for his own life.
After saving one child, he went back into the water in less than two minutes later, to save another child. The incident occurred last Monday after a street in Dajishan town in China was flooded when a nearby river burst its banks.
The video of the incident that went viral on Chinese social media platforms, shows Yijun struggling to walk in waist-deep water to rescue the children.

The video has garnered a thousand views, with many people praising the brave man. Yijun said that he did what anyone would do in times of emergency.
Talking about bravery, this 12-year-old selfless boy, without a second though stepped up to save a young girl after she fell into a pipe filled with water.
According to Ruptly, the girl fell into a pipe filled with water in a park after the pipe’s cover gave way. The incident took place in a park in Moscow. Even the passerby gathered around and tried to save the little girl by lowering a tree branch into the pipe, but unfortunately they were unsuccessful and could not help much, as the branch kept slipping.
Another selfless man lost his life in a tragic accident. A father died this Father’s Day while saving his son’s life. A 3-year-old toddler accidentally fell off a bridge into a lake, authorities said and after seeing his son, Christopher Franklin Nicholas Schultz, sprang into action.
“The little boy was leaning over the railing when he saw a fish and went over,” Sheriff Todd Glander told InsideEdition.com on Monday. “The dad went in after him.”
Schultz struggled to keep his son above the water and the onlookers helped the 3-year-old toddler get to the shore but the dad did not emerge from the water, authorities said.
