At about 18:14 on August 5, a shell suddenly fell in his yard and hit his mother, breaking her right leg on the spot and causing amputation. From the surveillance video at home he posted, it can be seen that two villagers were doing farm work in the yard. Suddenly, there was a loud noise, accompanied by a burst of smoke and dust, and it was obvious that something fell from the air. Then the two villagers looked to the side, and netizens said that the mother had been hit at this time and screamed in pain on the spot. Photos from the scene showed that the falling object was a black cylinder.

The villager said that his mother is currently in the intensive care unit of the First People's Hospital of Zhaotong City and is in a coma. Her condition is very bad and the medical expenses are very high. "My mother's right leg has been amputated. This accident has brought great grief to our family. As far as I know, the meteorological bureau of Yunlian County, Sichuan Province, next door, fired an anti-aircraft gun that day. I ask the Yunlian County Meteorological Bureau to give me and my family an explanation."
