A 69-year-old fisherman recently rescued a young man drowning in a river in Xinyang City, central China's Henan Province.

An amateur video shows the young man struggling in water, while the fisherman, upon hearing someone calling for help, rowed fast his catamaran-type boat towards the victim and helped him grasp the boat side. After the boat neared the shore, a woman pulled the pole from the fisherman to draw the boat and young man to safety.

The rescued young man was later sent to a hospital by ambulance.
