Homeless man turns hero

A homeless man in Foshan, Guangdong province, saved a woman from drowning in a river recently, for which he got 50 yuan ($8) from her husband as reward. The man deserves a lot more than that, and it is the local authorities' responsibility to ensure that he gets it, says an article in Xi'an Evening News. Excerpts:

The spot on the riverbank where the 29-year-old homeless man was standing when he saw the woman in the river was about 3.2 meters above the water level. But without caring for his own safety, he jumped into the river to save the woman. Although he was injured and bleeding from a foot, he stayed with the rescued woman until firemen reached the spot about half an hour later.
