The woman was riding her bike when she got caught in the flood waters.

A woman survived a raging flood by clinging on to a tree even as water from the Manshuiqiao river gushed below her. The incident took place in China's Jiangxi province on January 8. She was rescued when a fire station in Jiangxi received a report about the woman hanging onto a tree and brought an excavator to the site to help her out.

While one firefighter swam to where the woman was stranded, another helped her onto the long arm of the excavator after she was made to wear a life jacket.

Her dramatic rescue was captured on camera in a video that has been shared by People's Daily, China.
