A young courier sets the example when seeing a senior faint on a street.

Zhou Yinyu, a courier with SF Express, stopped his bike when he saw an old woman lying on the street with some cartons and a bag of empty plastic bags beside her.

Despite the hot ground and heavy traffic of the summer night, Zhou leaned down to try to talk to the old woman. The old woman gave no responses. He tried to put his finger before the woman's nose and found she still breathes.

Since he didn't know what had happened to the old woman, Zhou was afraid to move her. He immediately dialed 110 to ask the police to help.

The police thought the old woman had fainted due to heat stroke, so they helped her lean against the knees of one policeman and fed her some water. The measures worked and the senior slowly opened her eyes.

Not until the ambulance took the old woman to local hospital for a further treatment, did Zhou leave the woman and return his home.

Relatives of the old woman phoned to thank Zhou, while internet users gave the courier their thumbs up.
