A Chinese businessman is fighting for his life after a woman fell to her death in a shopping mall - and landed on top of him.
Yu Li, 42, was shopping with his three-year-old son in a shopping mall in Changsha, Hunan province, in Southern China, when he was hit on the head by the unidentified woman as she plummeted from the fifth floor.
The man had gone to the shopping centre to buy his son a present for the Chinese New Year.

Wrong place: Medics attend to Yu Li after the woman fell on him from five floors above
A police spokesman said: 'He was walking towards the escalator, when he was struck by the falling woman. She was killed instantly and he was left badly injured.
'The hospital tells us it is still a question of touch and go whether he will survive.
'We are looking at CCTV footage to try and work out whether the woman jumped or was pushed.'
The Chinese New Year celebration, that comes at the end of this month is the biggest event on the annual Chinese calendar where the entire country takes a week off to spend time with their families.

Long fall: This is the view from the fifth floor from which she fell
The injured man's wife Yan told local media that he had been promising all week to take their son to the shopping market and finally got round to it on the day of the accident.
She said she thought it was a joke when police had called her and asked her to collect her son because her husband had been injured.
Local media published photographs of the two lying on the ground showing the smartly dressed young woman - who has not yet been named - and the injured man.
The boy was treated for shock before being handed over to his mother and was not hit in incident.
