according to previous reports, on september 4, mr. wang experienced a thrilling scene on an indonesian beach. in the more than 3-minute video taken by tourists, mr. wang was pushed farther and farther by the offshore current. at this time, someone tried to throw a lifebuoy into the sea, but it was of no avail, and the lifebuoy was quickly pushed ashore by the waves. just when everyone was extremely anxious, a brown-haired man picked up the lifebuoy and rushed to the trapped person. although the waves submerged the brown-haired man several times, he tried his best to swim towards the trapped person. soon, another man also swam over, and with the efforts of everyone, they rescued the trapped person and were pulled ashore together.

after the relevant video was uploaded to the internet, the man who saved the people was called "aquaman" by chinese netizens because he had long hair and looked like the marvel character "aquaman".
