The plaudits came after curious online observers dug into her past life and discovered her legendary history.
On May 28, television personality Zhu Xun and her colleagues came across a group of tourists after attending an environmental protection event in Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan province, southwestern China.
One woman from the group was suffering from altitude sickness and had fainted. Symptoms of the condition include headaches and vomiting. In extreme cases it can be fatal.
Zhu offered her bottled oxygen and gave her acupressure. The tourist recovered after several minutes, then asked Zhu for a hug and a photo together.
The tourist said she was “so lucky” to have been looked after by Zhu.
