This is when rescuers pull a man and his daughter onto a boat after the man tried to commit suicide and drown his daughter in a river after a family argument.
The harrowing scene unfolded yesterday in Qingjiang Town of Yueqing, Zhejiang Province.
The man identified only as Mr. Wang started walking into a river with his daughter to commit suicide after a family argument on Saturday.

However, police and rescuers managed to rescue both of them and according to local media, no one was injured in the incident.
Two boats with four men can be seen surrounding the distraught father and his child as they grab him by the neck to drag him out of the river and into the boat.
But as the rescue unfolds, Mr. Wang appears to be fighting back as the men try to pull him into the boat and can be seen grinning as the men struggle to lift his body weight.
As they stage their daring rescue, the boat begins to sink into the water from the weight of Mr. Wang being pulled aboard.
One of the rescuers can be seen on the left in a long coat, clutching an oar tightly as he watches the rescue unfold from his wooden green and red boat.
The little girl, whose name and age are unknown, is held tight by a man in a purple coat as she is rescued from the river.
Her rescuer grabs hold of a leash, perhaps to steady himself as he looks down at the little girl to make sure she’s okay.
The men all appear to be wearing their everyday clothes, but two of the rescuers managed to don inflatable orange life jackets for the rescue.
A man looks like his gray shirt is soaked with water as he assists in the rescue.
It is not known why Mr. Wang took such drastic measures to take his own life along with his daughter – apart from reports of the family feud.
But he and his daughter are said to be safe, according to local media.
