A nine-year-old boy in China is being called a hero for having calmly performed CPR on his mother after she was knocked unconscious and seriously injured in a car accident.
On July 19, in Hefei, Anhui province in eastern China, the boy’s mother was riding an electric bicycle to pick up her son when she was involved in a car accident and knocked unconscious.
The woman’s son, surnamed Wu, can be heard calling out “mum, mum” in the video of the incident. When he was unable to rouse his mother he began performing CPR on her.
After the CPR failed to revive his mother, the boy opened an umbrella to shield her from the sun while waiting for an ambulance.
“Mum, you’ve got to hang in there!” The boy was heard telling his mother.
According to the ambulance driver, surnamed Yang, the mother was unconscious and had an open wound on her head when the ambulance arrived. However, she regained consciousness on her way to the hospital.
