A 7-year-old boy escaped a fire by breaking a window in his bedroom after his parents had fled in Xinxiang, Henan province, last Wednesday.

Guo Qiang and his wife immediately ran away when the blaze broke out in their apartment about 3 am, leaving their son behind in his room.

The door of their home had been blocked by the time they returned and fire fighters failed to find the lad when they brought the blaze under control.

As Guo and his wife began to fear the worst, their son suddenly appeared in front of them.

The hardy kid cleverly broke the window himself to flee the inferno.
