On the 3rd day, looking at her son Chen Zhixuan, Wu Juping smiled while lying on the hospital bed. Photographed by Xinhua News Agency reporter Huang Zongzhi.

A two-year-old girl suddenly fell from the 10th floor. In an instant, a brave passerby rushed over and caught the little girl with her bare hands. Her arm was instantly shattered due to the immense impact. However, because of her selfless act, the young life of the girl was saved.

The passerby who caught the falling girl is Wu Juping, a new mother, and she has been called the "Most Beautiful Mother" by netizens. Regarding the rescue, she said, "It was instinct, something a mother should do."

With no one at home, the child climbed onto the windowsill.

At noon on the 2nd, during the lunch break, a district in Hangzhou was as peaceful as usual. Suddenly, a scream came from the 10th floor of Building 22: "Oh no, the child is going to fall!" The one shouting was an auntie living on the 10th floor of Building 22. In her neighbor's house, a two-year-old girl, finding no one at home, had climbed onto the windowsill, holding onto the window frame with her hands, her feet dangling in the air, her whole body hanging outside the window precariously. A downstairs resident, upon seeing this, took out a ladder intending to catch the child, but the child held on for less than two minutes before suddenly falling.

Just as people thought a tragedy was about to happen, a lady passing by downstairs quickly kicked off her high heels, took a few quick steps closer, and stretched out her arms towards the sky!

With a "bang," the little girl crashed heavily onto the left arm of this lady, rolling onto the grass nearby. Due to the immense impact, the lady also fell heavily.

In the afternoon of the 3rd, I met Wu Juping, the woman who fearlessly saved someone and was called the "Most Beautiful Mother" by internet users, in a ward on the third floor of the Fuyang Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedic Hospital in Hangzhou. Her medical chart by the bedside read, "Wu Juping, born in 1980, multiple segment comminuted fracture of the left radius and ulna."

Dr. Jin Dengfeng, a renowned orthopedic expert, told reporters that such an injury in a radius and ulna fracture is considered very severe.

"The Most Beautiful Mother" has a seven-month-old son.

Wu Juping, 31 years old, has a seven-month-old son herself, who was lively and healthy and still breastfeeding before the rescue.

However, since Wu Juping needs to take a large amount of medication during treatment, the doctor suggested she wean her child.

It is understood that Wu Juping is an employee of Alibaba. After the incident, she made a call to her company first. "She only mentioned that her arm was broken and she might need to take a three-month leave, speaking in a light tone," according to reports.

I learned that after detailed diagnosis, there is a 95% possibility of Wu Juping's injury being cured, and it will take half a year to fully recover. The hospital stated that the treatment cost of around 50,000 yuan will be fully borne by them.

Additionally, the rescued girl, Niu Niu, is currently in the ICU recovering after surgery, and her life is temporarily out of danger.
