Baby boy saved from floods in East China's Fujian province

One of the rescue workers held the crying baby in his arms and consoled the newborn by saying tenderly, "don't cry, don't cry", while others set a stretcher and carried the woman to a safe place. To everyone's surprise, the baby stopped crying immediately.

On the same day, rescue workers also saved a senior resident who was unable to wade in the water due to recent surgery.

To ensure the man's safety, one of the rescue workers covered him with a piece of waterproof cloth to prevent him from getting wet, then carried the man on his own back and put him in a boat.

As of Thursday afternoon, a total of 171 trapped residents were saved and 523 residents were evacuated to safe places.
