Do you still remember Wang Junyi, the "good neighbor who lifted a boy 38 meters high in Wuxi"?
At about 17:00 on June 29, 2023, in a high-rise residential building in Meiyuan New Village, Chengjiang Street, Jiangyin City, a 4-year-old boy climbed out of his balcony and hung his body on the outer window glass frame. The child stood on the window sill less than 6 centimeters wide, grabbing the window frame around his waist with both hands. He was so frightened that he cried and might fall to the ground more than 40 meters away from the balcony at any time. Wang Junyi, who was cooking at home, heard the cry and immediately rushed to his balcony to visit. At this time, the boy was shaky and in critical condition. Upon seeing this, Wang Junyi climbed up the balcony window without hesitation, stepped on the window frame at his waist with his feet, hooked the upper window edge with his left hand, and supported the child's feet with his right hand.
Wang Junyi’s wife, daughter and another neighbor hugged Wang Junyi’s legs tightly to prevent him from falling. Wang Junyi stood on the window frame that was only 5 centimeters wide and tried his best to lift the child for 6 minutes, comforting the child from time to time. Finally, with the help of the masses, he successfully rescued the child from the outer wall.
Afterwards, Wang Junyi said: "The child was in such danger at the time, and I just wanted to save people. If I persisted for a while, the child would have a better chance of survival. Because of long-term driving, my waist and legs are not very good. Fortunately, I persisted."
Wang Junyi was successively awarded the title of "Wuxi City Brave Warrior" and "Wuxi Good Person" in the second quarter of 2023. It is worth mentioning that Wang Junyi was also selected as a candidate for the "China's Good People List" in the fourth quarter of 2023.
