A young nurse has been given the name 'prettiest bride' by Chinese media after trying to save a man on a beach in China. According to People's Daily Online, 25-year-old Guo Yuanyuan was shooting her wedding photos
on a beach in Dalian, north east China, on September 21 when she heard a man had drowned. Wearing her beautiful dress, she rushed to his side and began to administer CPR. For 20 minutes she battled to save his life, but sadly the man did not regain consciousness.
Witnesses say that they spotted a man, who remains unidentified, in the sea who was waving and shouting for help around 10am on September 21. Several swimmers on the beach swam out and managed to the pull the man, who was already sinking, from the waters. Guo joined and tried to save the man's life. Her wedding dress, make-up and nails were ruined but witnesses applauded the nurse's determination.
Unfortunately, when the ambulance eventually arrived, paramedics found it was too late to save the man. He was confirmed to have died of heart attack. Guo's proud fiancé, named Xiao Liu, said: "She enjoys helping people normally and that's what I like about her." He also said she had run faster than him when the incident occurred.
Images of the nurse saving the man quickly spread across Chinese social media where she was given the title of the 'prettiest bride'. "At that time, I only remember that I was a nurse. My career's responsibilities are higher than that of a bride." Guo said.
