At a Chinese high-speed rail station, an incident occurred where a woman held the door to prevent the train's departure for a child who was late getting off. Chinese media outlet Xinhuanghe reported this.

According to reports, the incident took place around 11:40 PM on September 30 at Yangjiang Station in Yangjiang City, Guangdong Province. According to a witness, the woman exited the train with two children, but forgot her luggage inside, so she instructed one child to go back and retrieve it. However, as the child couldn't make it in time and the door began to close, the woman frantically held the door with her hand, obstructing its departure.

A station employee explained to reporters, "The child later disembarked safely, and there was no impact on train operations." Regarding the woman's actions, they pointed out that "there are significant safety concerns" and urged passengers to immediately seek assistance from station staff if they forget luggage or are left behind in the train, and to refrain from dangerous acts.

While Chinese netizens voiced comments such as "What was she thinking?", "Is she not going to be detained for doing something like this?", "If she's not punished, she'll do it again", and "If she's not punished, others will definitely imitate her," other opinions were also seen, such as "It's a normal reaction to hold the door with your hand if your child is inside and the door is about to close. It's a bigger problem if the child gets lost than if you have to pay compensation," and "She had two children and luggage. The crew should have helped her." (Translation/Editing: Kitada)
