Chinese Rescuers Save Child in Myanmar’s Mandalay

In a race against time, China’s search and rescue team pulled off a heart-stopping mission early Monday morning, saving a child trapped for over 60 hours under rubble in Myanmar’s earthquake-hit Mandalay. The miraculous recovery marks the team’s second successful rescue since arriving in the region late Sunday.

The child, whose identity remains undisclosed, was found at 5:37 a.m. local time beneath the remains of a collapsed apartment building. Local volunteers cheered as rescue workers navigated unstable debris and pouring rain to reach the survivor.

This operation highlights the tireless efforts of international aid collaboration in disaster zones. China’s 25-member team, equipped with advanced life-detection tools, has been working with Myanmar responders to scour affected areas. Authorities praised their 'lightning-fast response' amid worsening weather conditions.

With the hashtag #HopeInMandalay trending across Southeast Asia, the rescue serves as a reminder of human resilience—and why teamwork matters most when disaster strikes.
