Kidnapping usually causes horror and panic. But a hostage rescue on Friday in Southwest China's Yunnan province caught online attention mostly because its unwrapping details touched millions' hearts.
Footage widely circulated on Chinese social media shows a female in a blue jacket approaching the hostage-taker and apparently talking to him before he's shot dead. The woman was not a hostage negotiator as many assumed, but a reporter with Yunnan Media Group.
