She injured her own finger just to send a life-saving message. 🥺
A woman named Zhou was cleaning a guesthouse in Leshan, Sichuan (China), when she accidentally got locked inside a bedroom without her phone. Due to a faulty lock, the door couldn’t be opened from the inside.
She had no food, and there was no restroom in the room on the sixth floor. She tried signaling for help by hanging a red suit out the window and dropping foam boards, but no one noticed. 😢
After nearly 30 hours without anything to eat or drink, weak and desperate, she hurt her finger and used it to write “110” and “625” on a pillow as a last attempt to call for help. (110 is China’s emergency number, and 625 was her room number.)
She then threw the pillow out of the window. By chance, it landed near a delivery driver named Zhang Kun, who understood the situation and immediately contacted the police. 🙌🏻
Authorities arrived and broke open the door, rescuing her. Later, Zhou thanked the officers, and Zhang was rewarded 3,000 yuan ($419) for his quick action. 🙏🏻
