Chongqing consul-general Stephen Ellison jumped into river to save university student
A British diplomat who rescued a Chinese woman from a river earlier this month has been presented with a red velvet banner as a way of thanks.
Stephen Ellison, the consul-general in Chongqing, was hailed as a hero after footage went viral of him jumping into a river to save a 24-year-old university student. The woman had slipped on rocks and fallen in, and video shot by bystanders showed her struggling in the water before passing under a bridge and emerging facedown.
