As she posed for a picture by a lake in Yangzhou, Jiangsu province, Wu Gaolong dropped her cell phone into the water.

Unable to swim, she was frantically looking for the phone, until someone came to her rescue. An elderly man quickly removed his clothes and jumped into the lake.

He emerged with the phone that was still working well. Wu invited the old man to dinner but her offer was declined.

The old man, who was known to many as a professor at Yangzhou University in his 70s, left quietly.
