Overview

  • Zhou was locked in a Leshan short-term rental room for roughly 30 hours after a door slammed and the lock failed, leaving her without a phone.
  • She bit her finger to write “110 625” on a pillow and threw it from a window to signal for help using China’s emergency number and a location clue.
  • A food delivery worker, Zhang Kun, found the pillow, suspected a plea for help, and alerted police.
  • Officers linked the numbers and the pillow’s brand to specific rental units in the complex and broke in to rescue Zhou, who was found pale and very weak.
  • Zhang declined money from Zhou but later received public recognition and rewards reported as 2,000 yuan from his delivery platform and 3,000 yuan from local authorities.
