1月13日，青海西宁一辆公交车进站过程中，马路突然塌陷。

据新京报报道，现场视频显示，事发时还有行人掉入坑中，周围多名群众参与救援。其中，一名身着黄色衣服的小男孩的行为引发关注。发生地陷后，他先是救起一名婴儿，将其放到路边的安全地带，之后再次返身救人。但此时现场发生二次坍塌，黄衣男孩和其他几名救人者掉入坑中，坑内出现火光。

令人欣慰的是，小男孩随后不久被救起，万幸只受了一些擦伤。

A little boy was hailed as a hero on Chinese social media after he saved several victims including a baby from being swallowed by an enormous sinkhole – despite falling into the hole and getting injured himself in northwestern China.

A surveillance footage captured the moment when he pushed a baby out of danger while falling into the hole with several other passengers as the sinkhole suddenly widened on a busy road in Xining City, northwest China's Qinghai Province on Monday afternoon.

In the footage, the boy was first seen squatting by the edge of the sinkhole, trying to rescue the baby from the sinkhole. After putting the baby in a safe place, he headed back to the sinkhole and tried to save more victims. However, it was at this moment that he fell into the pit.

The collapse was followed by an explosion and heavy smoke inside the hole.

Fortunately, the boy was later rescued and sent to a local hospital. He was reportedly in a safe condition.

15日，黄衣男孩的表姐杨玲（化名）告诉新京报记者，事发当天，男孩和哥哥同母亲去医院看望住院的亲戚，当时其母亲怀里还抱着弟弟。他们四人下车之后发生地陷，男孩的母亲和哥哥掉入坑中，男孩先是将身旁的弟弟抱到安全地带，随后返身欲救人，此时遇二次坍塌掉入坑中。

杨玲称，事后其听闻家里人说，当时黄衣男孩哥哥为了救母亲留在坑中，遇人施救时还说“先不要救我，救妈妈”。获救后经检查，黄衣男孩及其哥哥、弟弟均为皮外伤、软组织挫伤，伤情稳定，有专人陪护。

After the video was widely circulated on social media platforms, many netizens praised the boy's brave and heroic action of saving the baby while putting aside his own safety.

"He is such an excellent and brave boy! Thumbs up to him! And I wish other victims are safe and sound as well," commented a user @ayingying on Weibo, China's Twitter-like social media platform.

"All of them are heroes. It's so extraordinary to think about other people at such an emergent situation," said Weibo user @jingzhesangengsheng.

"The boy is so brave! And he was so lucky to fall into the cracked water supply pipeline, which prevented him from getting hurt by the flames caused by the explosion. I was so worried about him when he fell into the sinkhole. But I was happy to see he was later rescued and brought to the hospital by an ambulance," commented Weibo user @heihuadeshanzhashu.

The accident took place on Monday afternoon when a bus stopped at the station and suddenly plunged into an enormous sinkhole. Ten people died and one is still missing. The collapse has left an 80-square-meter pit on the street outside a hospital.

A rescue operation is underway. Nearly 1,000 rescuers, 30 vehicles and two excavators have been dispatched to the site. The cause of the incident remains unclear.
