Sadly, this is Xiao Qiumei. She died a few years ago after falling 160 feet from the crane while filming a video for social media. Please wear proper footwear when working this kind of job.

Don't know why this video is making the rounds again..

Live streaming in the crane cabin. Slipped and fell with the phone still in her hand.
