A woman was taking a selfie on the railing of Feiyunjiang Bridge in Rui'an city when she lost her balance and suddenly fell into the river. The woman could not swim. The incident happened at high tide. The dim lighting at night made rescue very difficult. But something miraculous happened. Rescue workers found a woman who had fallen into the water. She was swimming in the water at the time. Rescuers managed to free her. Officials said they have carried out rescue operations on the Feiyun River in Rui'an city many times. Most people who accidentally fall into the river have no hope of survival. Sometimes their bodies are never found. How did this woman manage to float on the surface of the river at high tide and swim so far? They were a little bit in disbelief and could only say that this was a miracle. There was also a similar incident. A woman surnamed Zhang quarreled with her husband, became angry, took more than 20 cold pills, and accidentally fell into the river when she went out. Although she couldn't swim, she didn't die because of it and slept soundly in the river for 40 minutes before being rescued. Therefore, even if you are not good at swimming and accidentally fall into the water, there is no need to panic at that time. If you resist forcefully or raise your hands, your body will sink. Relax your whole body to avoid sinking. Energy conservation is an important factor in rescue. Take a deep breath and bring your body close to the surface of the water. At this time, you can use the ``foot foot method'', which is to float on the surface of the water, by paddling both feet down and touching the water horizontally with your hands on your chest.

That's amazing. Yeah it's so easy to say to relax, but it's hard to do in reality.
