Couple hot online for funny selfies in burned-out house

NANNING - A young couple have become online celebrities after taking humorous selfies in the wake of a blaze in their home in Guilin, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. "I was in the bathroom, and smelled burning. When I opened the bathroom door, I saw a big fire," Zhong Cheng said after the incident last week.

He immediately woke his girlfriend and went to get water to put out the fire. His neighbors brought extinguishers and the flames were soon extinguished.

Instead of running from the wreckage, the couple began taking selfies in their pajamas, and even recorded a video of New Year's blessings. "We wish you the best," the couple said in the video, their faces black from smoke.
