Nurse stops wedding photoshoot at a beach to revive a drowned man
A nurse who was shooting her wedding photos at a beach in China has been earning praises online for trying to save a drowned man by performing CPR on the victim.
The bride-to-be was identified in a Shanghaiist article as Guo Yuanyuan, 25 years old, and working as a nurse at the Dalian Hospital in northeastern China. She was with her fiancé for a wedding photoshoot at a local beach when the incident happened.
Witnesses said they heard the man shouting for help around 10 am on Monday, September 21. He was already starting to sink and waving his hand to catch attention before several beach-goers rushed to save him and pull him back to shore.
The man, who remains unidentified, was already unconscious when he was pulled out; one of the rescuers named Mr. Zhao said.
“At the time his lips had gone purple and his face was going blue. It seemed like he had a sudden heart attack,” Zhao narrated; adding that no one among the crowd who gathered around them knows how to perform CPR.
Gou, who was just several feet away with her groom-to-be and taking some wedding photos, immediately ran to the victim and tried to resuscitate him.
Unfortunately, despite the nurse’s brave effort, the victim died. The paramedics that arrived shortly after said it was too late to save the man who reportedly died from heart attack.
Nevertheless, this did not stop the people from commending the nurse-bride for her heroism. In an attempt to save the man’s life, her wedding gown was torn, her make-up was ruined and her nails were broken.
Her fiancé, Xiao Liu, who didn’t leave her side throughout the incident said he saw how fast her girlfriend rushed to the scene by jumping off a three-foot ledge after they heard the shouting.
“She enjoy helping people normally and that’s what I like about her,” the fiancé added.
Gou, whose picture while trying to revive the drowned man was widely circulated on Chinese social media, has since been called “the most beautiful” on the internet.
But Gou downplayed the praises she received, saying: “At that time, I only remember that I was a nurse. My career’s responsibilities are higher than that of a bride.”
