The man’s fiancée, surnamed Sun, said that while they were taking pre-wedding photos in Fuyang, in Anhui province, eastern China, on March 14, their make-up artist noticed a person struggling in the water nearby, The Paper reported.

Sun immediately asked her fiancé and the photographer to help the girl in the water.

“My fiancé jumped into the water purely out of instinct. He didn’t think much but just wanted to save the drowning person. Actually, he is not very good at swimming and hasn’t swum for a few years,” Sun said.

Sun says her partner is not a strong swimmer but did not hesitate to go to the girl’s aid and praised his selflessness and bravery. Photo: The Paper
