- A newsreader who develops a nosebleed during a live TV broadcast is as cool as a cucumber and continues to the end without reacting
- A man trying to cool himself down during Shanghai’s recent heatwave is trapped in a freezer truck and has to call police for help
A mainland Chinese TV presenter kept reading the news live on air after his nose began bleeding in an incident that has since gone viral.
Suzhou TV newsreader Huang Xinqi suffered a nosebleed on Monday during a live television programme he was co-hosting with a colleague. However, he kept presenting the news bulletin until the end of the programme.
The bleeding began shortly after the show started and was significant enough to cause blood from his nose to trickle down to his mouth. However, Huang maintained a calm expression throughout the broadcast.
Although his colleague helped with presenting, Huang sat still as his nose continued to bleed, reported news site Sina News.
On Tuesday, Huang explained that at that time he didn’t think of anything other than finishing the broadcast.
Chinese social media was quickly filled with debate about the incident. Some praised Huang’s professionalism, but a lot of people questioned his working conditions and wondered why he felt he could not stop reading the news.
One person said: “I couldn’t see any professionalism. Was it very difficult to switch the camera to his female colleague? He was not alone there.”
