A 60-something-year-old woman, surnamed Li, survived after falling from the balcony of an eight-story apartment on Tuesday and, to everyone's surprise, sat up straight right on the spot when she gained consciousness a bit later.

After examination, the doctor said Li had suffered only bruises and the bleeding was stopped after bandage.

According to a witness, Li got away with minor injuries because her fall was broken by a bundle of electric wires and she landed on snow.
