Fu Jiawei is under treatment in hospital. |
Xie was passing by at the time and acted fast to catch the falling teenager. The force of the impact caused him to immediately black out.
When he awoke, Xie found his jacket zipper had burst open.
A doctor quoted in the Heilongjiang Morning Post said a human being's arms could normally stand 45 kilograms of weight. However, an object falling from that height imposes about 850 kilograms of instantaneous force, the paper reported, using calculations from netizens.
Last July, a woman also caught and successfully saved a 2-year-old girl who fell from 10th floor of a resident in Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang province.
Online commentators said the courage and willingness to help others shown by these people challenge the claim that morals have deteriorated in Chinese society.
"Such a good deed is a ray of sunshine that warms and encourages us," posted one netizen Wang Xuemei. "I believe virtue will be rewarded."
