A brave Chinese woman who lost the baby she was carrying when her husband pushed her off a cliff in Thailand four years ago can now stand and walk by herself.

The ordeal of Wang Nuannuan – the woman’s alias on social media platform Douyin – gripped the whole of China after she was pushed off a 34-metre-high cliff by her husband, Yu Xiaodong, at a tourist spot in Thailand in June 2019.

The 35 year-old miraculously survived but the baby she had been carrying for three months at the time of the horror did not.
