Plea scrawled in blood on a pillow saves Chinese woman trapped in locked room for 30 hours
Shanghai – A Chinese woman trapped in a locked room for 30 hours was finally saved after throwing a pillow bearing a written message in her own blood by the window, according to a local government statement.
The woman, identified only by her surname Zhou, cleaned a guest house in the province of Sichuan in western China when she entered a room without her phone, according to an article published in a social media account of the local government earlier this month.
What followed was one and a half despair, after Zhou realized that the door could not be opened from the inside due to a defective lock.
She did not have access to food and there was no toilet in the room, which was on the sixth floor of the building.
“After many unsuccessful attempts to save herself and out of despair, she bit her finger and used blood to write” 110,625 “on a pillow that she then threw out the window,” said the local media account belonging to the local government in the city of Leshan de Sichuan.

The number of the room in which the woman was trapped was 625, and 110 is the telephone number of emergency services in China.
Zhou’s message was spotted by food delivery driver Zhang Kun, who immediately called the police.
“I was quite afraid, but when I saw the number” 110 “on the pillow, I realized that this could be a distress call,” Zhang said in the local government statement. “It was the police who saved the woman. I just called the police. It was a simple act, a small business.”

The videos published by the local media showed a ruffled zhou thanking the police after opening the door to his temporary prison.
“I went there yesterday morning and it was a day and a night,” may be heard Zhou in the video.
Good Samaritan Zhang received 3,000 yuan ($ 419) by the authorities in Leshan for his role in the rescue.
