The video cuts to CCTV footage of the building and shows the 3-year-old girl slipping out of the window and quickly tumbling downwards.
The video has garnered over 158,000 views and 9,000 likes.
After receiving treatment at the Tongxiang Second People’s Hospital on Friday, the toddler was discharged.
The man told Chinese media outlets that he heard a bang coming from the top of the apartment building and looked up to see the small toddler tumbling out of the window. He described himself as lucky to have caught the girl on time and explained that it was sheer instinct.
Weibo users hailed the man as a “hero,” including Zhao, who described the Good Samaritan as “heroes among us” in his Twitter post.
“Tribute to ordinary heroes,” one user wrote.
“For parents with children, add a protective window or window safety valve to your home,” another user suggested.
