Resident rescues selfie-taker

A man who fell into the Pearl River in Guangzhou while taking selfies was rescued by a local resident, surnamed Bu, on the evening of April 8. Bu was chatting with friends under a tree when he realized someone had fallen into the water in the city's Haizhu district. The man who fell in had not been concentrating and leaned too far over the railings by the river bank, Bu said.
