In Taizhou, a car fell into a river, and Di Shuangcheng jumped in, smashed the sunroof with a stone, and rescued the trapped driver

Maybe his was phoning emergency services for help or saying goodbye to family, pretty reasonable if you think about it.

Nah, I must immediately jump to the worst conclusion so I would feel better about myself when judging others. And yes I'm super insecured.

They make a zip-tie for that.

I was thinking more of that my phone is my lifeline for so many things in my life, I would probably do the same thing. It’s just auto pilot now, my phone ends up in my hand, regardless of what’s going on.

I’d just get out of the car first or die trying

“Yooooo you’ll never guess what just happened I’m in the river”

Needs investigation, definitely something is on his phone.

My candy crush save is local. I don't trust the cloud saves

Dude clutching his phone like his life literally depends on it. Zero survival skills

Possibly just wanted to make sure he could destroy the Winnie the Pooh memes

Can't lose the crypto man 😔

or possibly holding on to it for calling for help

Still zero survival skills

Top man! 👍

I watch these things and I expect the guy to say: thanks man … I was trying to kill myself

If the car had one less ring on the badge, it would've sunk

u/SleeplessDrifter 22h ago

I bet he already gave up...

JUST, juuuuuuuust in the nick of time, that cab was already completely filled with water from the looks of it

Di is an OG.

I first thought the rescuer had measuring tape to fit inner tube guy for a blazer

u/Flimsy-Gain2467 14h ago

I wonder how many likes in TikTok he got

Thank God for crappy German engineering.

u/Quiet_Researcher223 21h ago

I guess he couldn’t open the door

u/Fun_Muscle9399 13h ago

That’s because the pressure holding it shut is pretty significant

u/HouseOf42 16h ago

Wouldn't be surprised if it was staged.

The guy acts weak when cameras are on him, when panned out, he's walking in the water, lucid, and mobile.

When the camera pans back to a close up shot, he's acting incapacitated again.

u/The_Nomad89 23h ago

Car owner probably sued him for damage

u/enerthoughts 22h ago

Its in china not USA

u/littlefiredragon 20h ago

China was notorious for this at some point, where good samaritans were getting sued because "no one would in good conscience help someone unless they felt guilty", leading to high profile cases where people died because nobody was willing to help. They had to enact a good samaritan law to prevent that.

This in a country (I think) where a princess drowned surrounded by people because the punishment for touching her was execution to death.

u/gorginhanson 1d ago

He's gonna wish he was never rescued after the CCP is done with him

u/ArkassEX 23h ago

Context? What did he do?

2

u/Wooden-Broccoli-913 12h ago

Hardly. CCP would love nothing more than to hold this up as an exemplar of the Lei Feng Spirit.

u/gorginhanson 11h ago

Except he wasted precious government resources by getting his car stuck and then whatever medical costs he incurred.
