Tang Fahua, a member of staff at the market, was the first man to call the police. Tang recalled that he rushed to the site seeing the mother sitting on the floor with her son in her arms. There was blood on the child's face, but his mouth was moving.
"It was five or six minutes later, the ambulance hadn't come. After calling the first-aid center and local police, people didn't know what to do," Tang said.
Zhan Guofeng took his own car to hospital after ten minutes.
"I ran a few red lights, but the boy stopped breathing before we arrived at the hospital," Zhan said.
