60대 영국 외교관, 강에 빠진 여대생 구해...중국 '감동'
A British diplomat has been hailed as a hero... for rescuing a drowning student in China.
Last Saturday, Stephen Ellison spotted the women who had accidently fallen into a river.
The 61-year old immediately whipped off his shoes and swam to her.
He said, he felt a great sense of "relief" when the student was back on dry land,... conscious and breathing again.
Dramatic videos of the rescue are trending on Chinese social media.
Despite souring Sino-British ties over Hong Kong,... Chinese foreign ministry praised Ellison's "heroic behavior".
