Good Deed Pays Off! Chinese Man Narrowly Escapes as Flower Pot Falls After Feeding Stray Cat

Mr. Shi, the owner of a grilled fish shop, was working outside his store on the evening of January 27th when he noticed a stray cat looking for food. He kindly picked up a stainless steel basin with fish scraps and went out to feed the cat. Security camera footage reveals that just two seconds after he moved from his original position, a flower pot weighing over ten kilograms fell from a height, crashing exactly where he had been standing. The pot shattered completely, and the stainless steel basin was severely bent. Mr. Shi explained that the pot contained soil and a plant, and if it had hit him directly on the head, the consequences could have been unimaginable. Even after the incident, he still feels shaken when thinking about how close he came to serious injury. An investigation revealed the incident was an accident - a store employee working on electrical repairs on the second floor accidentally caught some electrical wires on the potted plant, causing it to fall. Mr. Shi shared that the stray cat had been visiting his store almost daily for the past month, and he would regularly share fish entrails with the animal out of kindness. He never imagined the cat would become his "life-saving helper." Touched by this experience, Mr. Shi plans to build a small shelter for the cat in front of his store and continue sharing fish scraps with local stray animals. Store employees noted that Mr. Shi is known for being kind to animals and taking good care of his staff, and everyone is grateful that no one was hurt in this incident.
