Heroic firefighters rescued a man in his 60s who got buried in mud after a landslide hit Liuyang City in southern China on July 10.
The video shows firemen using tools and their barehands to dig the mud away and take the elderly man out of it.
Since the old man became trapped in the middle of a muddy area and firefighters could not approach him, they smashed a hole in the wall to let the mud drain away first.
They then used their bare hands to bring the elderly man to safety.
The elderly man was sent to hospital for treatment, reports said.
