Recently, Russian woman Shahnaz Gubaidullina became an Internet star. The girl recently graduated from the bachelor’s degree program at Huzhou University, which is located in Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, after which she went on a tourist trip to Shaoxing. There, an unexpected situation occurred – an elderly woman fell into the water and began to drown. Without thinking, Shahnaz jumped into the water and began to pull out the drowning woman, calming her in Chinese: “Grandma, relax, don’t be afraid, I’m here.” Thanks to the joint efforts of the girl and the people on the shore, the elderly woman was saved.
Shahnaz’s selfless act was captured on local CCTV cameras and the video went viral online, gaining many likes. The girl’s mother immediately sent her a message: “You saved a man’s life, I’m proud of you!” When Shahnaz went to buy some fruit, the shopkeeper recognized her and refused to take money, thus wanting to thank the girl for her good deed. In response to the public praise, Shahnaz said: “I am very pleased, but I didn’t really do anything special.”
Shahnaz came to China in 2016 and after living here for many years, she has developed a deep love for Chinese culture. She is the only foreigner in the university’s lion dance troupe.
Shahnaz does not want to leave Huzhou despite having already graduated from university. “I like it here very much, I want to continue studying and even stay here to live,” she admitted.
