A man in China swims through floodwaters for about three hours to check on his parents after family members report they have not returned, according to NDTV. The man, named Xie in the report, receives a call from his mother saying his father had gone to secure rice that had been harvested earlier but had not come back. With the flooding making normal travel difficult or impossible, Xie enters the floodwater and continues swimming for roughly three hours to reach where his parents are located. The report frames his actions as a response to his parents’ absence and his concern about their safety during the flood conditions. The account focuses on the timing and duration of his swim and the reason he decides to go searching, citing his mother’s call about his father’s failure to return after going to tend the harvested rice.
