The incident happened in Tongxiang, Zhejiang province. Footage of the heroic rescue was shared on Twitter by Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian. “Heroes among us,” the government official wrote while sharing the short clip.
Why does this seem to happen all the time there??
And there’s always someone to catch the kid… I feel like this is merely a sport there
What was even more amazing, was the perfectly timed background music at the exact right place and time.
Fictitious news sites are reporting that several MLB General Managers, who watched the video of the miraculous catch, have reached out to Mr. Dong asking him to join their respective ball clubs, and to play the outfield in their farm systems.
But Mr. Dong initially thought they were pranking him.
“Just because I caught the KID who was FALLING, doesn’t mean I’m FALLING for THAT one! You’re KIDDING me, right?”
After realizing the GMs were serious about their offer, Mr. Dong – much to the GMs’ consternation – told them that after CATCHING the falling child, he was “more focused on CATCHING” his “breath than CATCHING baseballs.”
Nevertheless, Mr. Dong later conceded to reporters that he DID INDEED feel like a MLB outfielder when he made the catch.
“When I saw the child falling, ” Mr. Dong said, “I felt like both the child and I were on the warning track, in the bottom of the 9th, with 2 outs, and that I must make that catch, or else GAME OVER!”
Mr. Dong went on to tell the reporters that: “Very often, baseball players, who make crucial plays during a game, are given the ball to keep as a trophy-like souvenir. Likewise, after I made the catch, the child’s parents asked me if I would like to keep the child as a souvenir, but I refused the offer. I told them: ‘I appreciate your kind gesture, but the child is YOURS. PLEASE keep the child, I’ve got plenty of those at home, more than I can handle!”
This was clearly edited! You see the man come, and slip at first WHILE HOLDING A CELL PHONE TO HIS LEFT EAR. Then the video shows him, not slipping and there is no phone in either hand of his. He must be a real good magician.
Looks like the “kid” was dropped, not fell.
And the “kid” didn’t move in his arms.
makes me think it is a doll.
