2025年10月14日晚，浙江杭州拱墅區運河發生一起驚險的落水救援事件。一名途經運河的男子高先生發現水中有一名女子正在掙扎沉浮，情況危急。高先生毫不猶豫，迅速踢掉腳上的拖鞋，縱身跳入河中將女子救上岸。事後，他因跳水受傷，單獨前往醫院清理腳上的傷口並打破傷風針。高先生表示，這是他第一次救人，出於記錄與分享的想法，他希望將救援經過上傳至社交媒體，順便也想獲得網友的肯定與讚賞。

當晚，救援過程被路過的其他網友拍下。次日（10月15日），高先生將其中一段視頻上傳到自己的社交平台。然而，他期待的讚許並未如期而至，反而遭遇意料之外的“打擊”。不久，他接到被救女子的聯繫，對方要求刪除視頻。高先生尚在猶豫之際，平台便發來下架通知，指出視頻因“侵犯肖像權”而被舉報並移除。對此，高先生感到非常寒心，他指出視頻中全程無法清晰看到被救女子的面部，認為對方在事件處理上缺乏包容與理解。

儘管面對視頻下架與社交平台的舉報，高先生仍表示，未來在遇到類似危急情況時，自己依然會毫不猶豫地伸出援手。他認為，救人是出於本能與責任，即便可能會遭遇各種不理解或法律糾紛，也不應因此退縮。

此事件在社會上引發熱議，不僅引起人們對公共救援行為的法律與倫理問題的關注，也引發對肖像權與善意行為之間界限的討論。社會輿論普遍對高先生的勇氣表示肯定，同時也反思在現代社交媒體環境下，個人善舉如何在法律框架內得到合理展示與保護。

On the evening of October 14, 2025, a dramatic rescue took place along a canal in Gongshu District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. A passerby, Mr. Gao, noticed a woman struggling and sinking in the water. Without hesitation, he kicked off his slippers and jumped into the canal to save her. After the rescue, Gao, who had injured his foot during the jump, went to the hospital alone to treat his wounds and received a tetanus shot. Gao later explained that this was his first time performing a rescue, and he had uploaded the video of the incident to social media partly to document the experience and partly in the hope of receiving recognition and praise from netizens.

The rescue had been recorded by other onlookers that night, and on October 15, Gao uploaded one segment of the video to his social media account. However, instead of praise, he received an unexpected backlash. Shortly after, the rescued woman contacted him, requesting that the video be deleted. While Gao was still considering what to do, the platform issued a takedown notice, citing “violation of portrait rights” as the reason for removal. Gao expressed his disappointment, noting that the woman’s face was never clearly visible in the video, and he felt that the complaint lacked any consideration or goodwill.

Despite this setback, Gao emphasized that he would still act without hesitation if he encountered a similar emergency in the future. He stated that saving someone in danger is a matter of instinct and responsibility, and that potential misunderstandings or legal disputes should not deter such actions.

The incident sparked widespread discussion in society, drawing attention to the legal and ethical issues surrounding public rescue actions and raising debates about the balance between portrait rights and acts of goodwill in the age of social media. While many praised Gao’s courage, the case also prompted reflection on how individual acts of heroism can be appropriately documented and protected within legal frameworks.
