Yang was 10 nautical miles out from the city of Sanya, which is roughly 30 kilometres from Aliang's home village, and he spotted the little green rowing boat. At first he thought it was an extreme sports enthusiast until he heard the boy crying. He told media, when we could hear each other clearly, he burst into tears.

He said that he'd gone out to play and fish, but had accidentally been washed away by the waves. He drifted at sea all night and couldn't find his way home. Fortunately, he was okay. He had some sunburn from prolonged sun exposure and was obviously very hungry when he was rescued, but otherwise has managed to survive unscathed.

His father, Mr Huang, has said that he's relieved to have his son home. Local rescuers have said that if he had been out at sea much longer, he might have suffered sunstroke and been dehydrated. One rescuer told the Global Times newspaper that the sea had been windy and rough on Friday night, and even an adult would have struggled to survive in such conditions, let alone a child.

People have called the story a real-life version of the life of Pi, referring to the 2001 novel by Jan Martel. Some on Chinese social media have attributed Aliang's survival to his being a member of the Tanka people. They're an ethnic group in South China that are also known as boat people because they traditionally lived on junks in coastal parts of China.

They're good at swimming and often involved with fishing and breeding. Media have warned, though, that Aliang's story is a cautionary tale. The People's Daily newspaper says that it's a reminder that parents need to keep a close eye on their children.

Chinese state media have been putting out pictures today of four Taiwanese officials, Ling Yushu, Cai Jiehong, Nian Xiaofan, Wang Kaoming. They're all members of the ISF-COM.
