In Kong Chiam region in 2019, a Chinese woman apparently was pushed off a cliff by her father, but unexpectedly survived and had her unborn child be thanked four national park officials for her rescue.

On Saturday, Wang Nan, 37, cried out of joy and love as he hugged each of the four female rescuers at the Pha Taem National Park office. They are Pairote Phew-oon, Sakulthai Chansook, Sorawit Mingman and Sataporn Phima.

On the morning of June 9, 2019, Ms Wang, next three months pregnant, and her father Yu Xiaodong, next aged 33, visited the rock, famous for its stone drawings, near Pha Taem Stance to see the moon rise. Although her father apparently pushed her off the rock, she and her unborn baby miraculously survived after being pushed 34 meters by trees.

Mr Wang suffered injuries in her left knee, left shoulder, left collar bone, shoulder bone and knees. She was discovered seriously injured by a Thai tourists on a path and called park officials. The four volunteers immediately transported her to Kong Chiam area hospital where she received first support.

Five years ago, Ms. Wang expressed gratitude and applauded everyone’s rapid response at the reunion. She gave good coffee to the team as a token of appreciation.

About a week after the collapse, Thai authorities arrested Yu on an attempted murder charge, citing the lack of funds as the case.

Ms. Wang claimed in an interview with the South China Morning Post that Yu gently kissed her on the cheek and said,” Go to hell,” before pushing her over the edge.  

Yu apparently had a bill and was addicted to gambling. He requested Ms. Wang to give him a sum of 2 million yuan, but his wife only gave him 1 million, telling him to take the rest of the money.  

According to the Islands Times, Thailand’s Supreme Court sentenced Yu to 33 years and 4 months in jail. Additionally, the report stated that her newborn child did not survive the drop, and it was not immediately possible to ascertain whether this was the case.
