A four-year-old boy in China survived a fall from the 11th floor of his apartment building after climbing onto a window to see if his parents were coming home, according to reports from Chinese media.
The incident occurred in the city of Changsha, Hunan province, on May 7, 2026. The boy, identified only by his surname Li, was home alone when he climbed onto the windowsill and fell. He was found by neighbors and rushed to a hospital.
Doctors at the Hunan Children's Hospital reported that the boy suffered multiple fractures but was in stable condition. He regained consciousness and told his mother he had climbed onto the window because he missed her.
Local authorities have reminded parents to ensure child safety at home, especially in high-rise buildings, and to never leave young children unattended.
