On that day, when Shen was about to walk into the bank where he works, he spotted something falling down from a residential building across the street. A huge bang was heard when the thing crashed on the advertising board on the second floor.

It took a few seconds for Shen to realize that it was a child that was fell from the sixth floor after seeing it move on the advertisement board.

Shen rushed to the building while simultaneously calling the police for help. But before long, the girl began moving and fell from the second floor. Shen came forward immediately and caught her.
