A 34-year-old woman who was stuck in a deep cave for 23 days after falling into it was miraculously rescued in Yizhang county, Hunan province on Sunday.

Shi Sichun said she survived on mountain spring for 23 days.

Shi was taking a walk in the woods behind her village after a quarrel with her husband when she fell into the cave.

A fellow villager who was passing by the cave heard Shi's cries for help and called the cops.

Shi's husband said he didn't bother looking for his wife as he thought she had left home "to be employed outside the county in a rage".
