A four-year-old boy miraculously survived after falling from the window of his 11th-floor home.

After the boy gained consciousness, he said in tears to his mother that he had climbed onto the window because he was missing her so much that he wanted to see if she was coming home.

The boy’s experience went viral online after his experience was reported by the Haibao News in early May.

The incident unfolded on April 11 when the boy, nicknamed Xiaoming, was left alone in his home in Dalian, Liaoning province, northeastern China, as his parents went out to deliver goods.

Xiaoming’s mother said they planned to return after a short time and they felt assured of their son’s safety.
