"Someone has fallen down!" Upon hearing Mr. Huang's shout, the neighbors quickly came to rescue, with some calling 120 and 119. The neighborhood gatekeeper, Mr. Xiong, introduced that Grandpa Li lived on the 5th floor and had just moved in for five or six days. He only knew an accident happened when he heard the cries for help. "I initially thought it was someone else's child who fell down due to lack of care. When I ran downstairs, I realized it was Grandpa Li from the 5th floor," said Mr. Xiong. Grandpa Li crashed through the awning on the 3rd floor when he fell down, but fortunately, there was another awning underneath that provided further cushioning, which helped him survive luckily.
After Chengdu Fire Department No. 2 arrived, two firefighters lowered a rope from the window on the 3rd floor and slowly lifted Grandpa Li up using a stretcher.
Subsequently, the 120 emergency service took Grandpa Li to the 416 Hospital for treatment. Dr. Zhang, who received the patient at the hospital, stated that Grandpa Li was fine and only needed to be observed in the hospital for 24 hours.
As for why this incident happened, Mr. Xiong said he wasn't very clear about it, except that usually Grandpa Li's daughter and son-in-law were busy with work, often leaving him alone at home.
Since Grandpa Li landed on the awning of the 2nd floor, the neighbors who came upon hearing the news tried to find a ladder to rescue him, but people couldn't stand on it, making the rescue difficult. The arriving 110 police informed the fire department.
When reporters from Huaxi Metropolis Daily arrived at the scene, they found that the awning was facing the street, with a clinic below. Onlookers at the scene said that the person who fell from upstairs was Grandpa Li, aged 87, who had just been discharged from the Chengdu 416 Hospital and had moved to this community to live with his youngest daughter and son-in-law only a few days ago. At the time of the incident, his daughter and son-in-law were sleeping inside, and only after hearing the neighbors' shouts did they realize that the old man had fallen off the building.
