Tang Ziren, the rescuer, immediately performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the woman, continuing chest compressions on the woman for about 10 minutes and successfully reviving the patient after a rescue team arrived.

To compensate Tang for the performance that he missed during the rescue, staff members from the park staged a whale show just for him.
