A group of men came to the aid of a 12-year-old boy trapped between huge boulders in a raging river in Guizhou Province.
The boy was barely keeping his head above water when tourists spotted him and rushed to help.
Several men formed a "human wall" to hold back the flow while others tried to pull the boy out with a rope. The situation was complicated by slippery rocks and a growing current, and rescuers were worried that the rain would cause the water level to rise.
Xiao Feng, 39, climbed down to the trapped boy three times and eventually managed to withstand the pressure of the water and pull him out of the trap. The boy was immediately grabbed by another rescuer below.
