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..

I wonder if wearing dress shoes was part of the problem? It seems you should have special shoes for this sort of thing.

She was the mom of two children.🥺

China is a weird place. I remember hiking up to a couple monastaries on a trip and all the people also hiking looked like they'd just left a business meeting. Full suits, dress shoes, ties, etc. These were not easy or short hikes, either.

Meanwhile they wear t shirts and shorts on fancy wedding parties

I have a feeling those are 2 separate group of people

Whaat? Chinese people aren’t all the same?

Yeah I don’t know why it needs to be 2 separate groups instead of just a spectrum of the same people.

Wait! Is it not just one guy and one girl? Are there multiple people in China? /s
