Even when things are terrible, even when they're at their bleakest, time and time again we see instances of a Good Samaritan, of heroes, coming forward and putting themselves on the line to do something good for someone else.
Whether it's an individual like the woman who dove into a freezing lake to rescue her drowning dog, or these firefighters who braved a flood to rescue people in a submerged home, we're glad to know individuals like this exist.
The video below provides another instance, when five brave men rescue a trapped woman in China.
In stunning fashion, the video begins showing a terrible scene.
A car was halfway submerged in a frozen river, the result of an accident that occurred on January 27, in Wudi County, in the Shandong province of China.
According to reports, there were two vehicles involved in the crash, and the one in the video came off the road and plunged into the icy river.
A man leapt in to get a better look at the driver, a woman who was still trapped inside. His heroics caused four other passersby to join together and frantically try to free the woman.
One of the men climbed onto the car, and using a log, smashed through the window. After a concerted, tough effort, they managed to free the woman.
According to a report from Sina, the woman is currently in intensive care due to her injuries, but if it weren't for the men in the video, she may have suffered a worse fate.
