Bejing: A man who was involved in a boating accident with his wife and mother was caught in an impossible situation. He was in a position only to save either his wife or his mother.
According to Asia One, as things happened, China’s Anhui province resident Xiao Guo, 28, was able to tow his wife to safety first.
Xiao Guo said that he had taken his 52-year-old mum, Madam Sun, and his wife, Xiao Qing, on a fishing trip to Dianbu River. Madam Sun was casting the net when Xiao Qing leaned over the same side and tipped the boat over.
Neither Madam Sun nor Xiao Qing could swim. Faced with losing his wife to a watery grave or seeing his mum sink to the bottom of the six-metre deep river, Xiao Guo reacted instantly as a devoted husband instead of a loyal son.
The man’s father was angry with him for not reaching out to his wife first and he ripped the younger man apart.
Meanwhile, in an online poll conducted by ifeng.com, almost 54% of the 19,562 respondents on the survey overwhelmingly supported Xiao Guo’s move to save the loved one closest to him. A paltry 2,963 people sided with his dad.
