On the evening of the 17th, a reporter from Red Star News learned from the authorities in Lintong District, Xi'an that it rained near the scenic spot on the day of the incident, and the child in the woman's arms got wet and had a fever and convulsions. "The parents were very anxious when the child had this condition. There were a lot of tourists in Pit No. 1, and she couldn't get out for a while, so she went in in a hurry. The security guard found the scene and asked about the situation. Because the child's illness was urgent, he quickly asked the parents to send the child to the hospital for treatment first."
