As the living room was full of dense smoke and flames, the young boy reportedly returned four times before getting his grandmother and father to safety.
A young Chinese boy is being praised online after returning to his burning home four times to save his father and grandmother. According to the South China Morning Post, the incident took place on January 21. A video going viral on a Chinese social media platform showed the boy's smoke-blacked face and hands. The boy, identified as Yangyang, remained calm when a fire ripped through his home. He even managed to call the cops before rushing back inside the burning house to save his semi-conscious father and his grandmother.
In the early hours of January 21, Yangyang was woken up by his father calling for help from his bedroom. When the young boy arrived, he found that his father was semi-conscious and unable to move. Yangyang then ran to his grandmother's room to wake her up, and they moved the father to the living room together.
Thinking his father and grandmother were safe, the boy then ran out of the burning house to call the fire department. However, after hanging up the phone, he realised they had not followed him out of the building.
