A woman from China saved a 2 year old toddler falling 10 storeys. The miraculous catch saved the little girl’s life.
The little girl was was visiting her grandmother in China's Zhejiang Province on Saturday. She was left unattended while her grandmother went to run an errand. The toddler, named Zhang Fangyu but known by the name Niu Niu, managed to open a window and crawl out on the ledge.
Wu Juping, 31, a mother of one, was passing by the apartment building when she saw the child hanging from the windowsill, she 'kicked off her shoes' and began to run towards Niu Niu, to attempt to break the toddler's fall. The impact knocked Wu out and fractured her arm. The child suffered from internal bleeding. Both were hospitalized for their injuries in nearby Fuyang.
A hospital spokesman said the child was in critical condition, but was expected to live. Wu will need surgery to repair her arm. Wu has been offered free care by the hospital for her heroism.
In an unrelated incident in year 2003, Seven-year-old Jean-Luc Archer has nicknamed his rescuer Lisa Hodgkinson "Wonder Woman" after she lifted up a one-tonne car to save his life.
Lisa leaped to Jean-Luc's rescue when he became trapped underneath the back wheels of a car after running out in front of it near his Manchester home. She lifted up the car, gave Jean-Luc the kiss of life and looked after him until an ambulance arrived. If it wasn’t for Lisa’s heroic act, Jean-Luc will not survive.
Women are naturally gifted with maternal instincts. In the 2 incidences above, both women aren’t related to the children they saved but yet they are capable of exerting tremendous capabilities and strength to save a child. Imagine if it were their own children, the capabilities they can exert is beyond what we would expect.
Wonder Woman was a comic book hero with amazing powers and there are Wonder Women here amongst us in real life.

Angry boyfriend tore girlfriend's bikini top at bikini contest
A Chinese boyfriend stormed into a bikini contest show and he was furious that his girlfriend entered the contest without his permission. A quarrel ensured and in the rage of anger, he tore his girlfriend’s bikini top and almost got into a brawl when other male contestants interfere to stop the fight. At the end of the scene, he threw a book to the floor to demonstrate his frustrations.
The guy should be charged for outraging the modesty of his girlfriend and be put behind bars. If he really loves her, he shouldn’t try to expose his girlfriend’s modesty. If she still carries on, well, just dump her if he cannot accept it. In a rage of anger, he has made himself guilty and didn’t think of the consequences. You can see clearly that he has the element of violence in him.
The video has gone viral and you can watch the crazy guy in action on youtube. You can watch it here if the video hasn’t been brought down.

China opens world longest sea bridge
The 42.5km Qingdao Haiwan Bridge would easily span the English Channel and holds the title as the world longest sea bridge.
The vast structure links the centre of the booming port city of Qingdao in eastern China's Shandong Province with the suburb of Huangdao, spanning the wide blue waters of Jiaozhou Bay. The bridge is expected to carry over 30,000 cars a day and will cut the commute between the city of Qingdao and the sprawling suburb of Huangdao by between 20 and 30 minutes.
The eight-lane, 35-metre-wide bridge opened to traffic on Thursday morning, China's Xinhua news agency said. Built over a four-year period the project cost about 10 billion yuan (USD1.5 billion) and uses 5,000 pillars. It shortens the driving route between the two locations by about 20 miles. The bridge has broken the Guiness World Records, surpassing the previous longest bridge over water was the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in Louisiana by about 4km. "The earthquake- and typhoon-proof bridge" is designed to withstand the impact of a 300,000-ton vessel," Guinness said.

It is reported that some 450,000 tons of steel was used — enough for almost 65 Eiffel Towers — along with 81 million cubic feet of concrete to build the bridge. The sheer scale of the bridge reveals further recent advances made by Chinese engineering.
China is already home to seven of the world's 10 lengthiest bridges, including the world's longest, the 102-mile Danyang-Kunshan rail bridge, which runs over land and water near Shanghai.
