Overview

• The three-year-old remains in gradual recovery at the Children’s Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine with fractures and internal injuries but no head trauma.
• Surveillance footage showed that an open window on the 17th floor redirected his fall into a tree branch and then a bush, averting a direct impact with concrete.
• His grandparents had briefly left the bolted flat to buy groceries, unaware the bathroom window lacked mandated safety bars.
• A community resident filmed the boy’s condition and shared the footage via the property management group, which prompted immediate police and ambulance response.
• The family tied a red flower around the tree that cushioned his fall in a traditional Chinese gesture of gratitude.
