A man caught in a desperate situation chose to save his drowning wife
first before his mother,
who were both in a boating accident,
has
angered his family while receiving tremendous support from the public
for his actions.
According to an online source, Xiao Guo, 28, had taken his 52-year-old mum, Madam Sun, and his wife, Xiao Qing, on a fishing trip to Dianbu River.
His mother was casting the net when his wife leaned over the same side and the boat capsized.
According to an online source, Xiao Guo, 28, had taken his 52-year-old mum, Madam Sun, and his wife, Xiao Qing, on a fishing trip to Dianbu River.
His mother was casting the net when his wife leaned over the same side and the boat capsized.
Neither of them could swim.
In this desperate situation, Xiao Guo acted immediately, jumping in to save his wife instead of his mother first.
The Anhui province resident from China said that he had heard of people asking married couples the question, 'If your mother and your wife were drowning, who would you save?' He never thought that it would happen to him.
He said, 'My wife has never asked me that question, but I've thought about it and I told myself I must rescue my mother first.' However when it came to the actual situation, he found himself doing the exact opposite.
Xiao Guo's father was enraged by his choice and reporters heard him yelling at his son at the hospital,'Your mother was drowning and you only thought about your wife! She was hanging on to the boat already! How much danger was she in that you have to take her to shore first?
Of course, you must rescue your mother first! Don't you care about her? She is very weak!

She just had gallbladder operation!'
Both women made it out of the waters alive as Xiao Guo managed to reach his mum and drag her out in time. Doctors told him that if he had been two minutes too late his mother would not have made it, having taken too much water into her lungs.
Madam Sun told reporters she was not angry with her son and had forgiven him,

PS:
The wifes love to ask their husbands this question.
Its really a tough question to answer.
Cos no matter save who, you will offend the other.
Well, this guy had to make that decision.
But he was lucky that he managed to save both.
But he he still draw the flanks and praises.
