A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didn"t think twice
before diving into the freezing East River.
Tuesday"s Daily News said 29-year-old Julien Duret from France is the man who left the spot quickly
after the rescue last Saturday.
He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Seaport museum.
He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dived in after him.
"I didn"t think at all," Duret told the Daily News. "It happened very fast. I reacted very fast."
Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier (码头) when he saw
something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached
the river. In an instant, he took off his coat and jumped into the water.
When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the water,
she opened her eyes.
Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera. An ambulance came
later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend
shortly after.
The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn"t realize his tale of heroism
had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning.
"I don"t really think I"m a hero," said Duret. "Anyone would do the same thing."

Liu and coach Sun Haiping were followed away by officials after arriving at Shanghai Pudong airport
at around 6:30 p. m. , and said nothing to the waiting media.
Liu went straight to the Xinzhuang training base in Shanghai, where he will start on the comeback (恢
复) through rehabilitation (复职) and training.
Feng Shuyong, vice-director of China"s Athletics Administrative Center, said a group of experts is on
standby at the training base to help with Liu"s recovery.
"The experts will give Liu a full check-up tomorrow or the day after and advise regularly on rehabilitation
in the coming months," Feng was quoted by qq. com as saying.
The foot injury forced defending champion Liu to quit from the 2008 Beijing Olympics last August after
"he limped out of the Bird"s Nest in the first round of the men"s 110m hurdles, bitterly disappointing adoring
home fans."
The 25-year-old Athens Olympic and world champion had successful foot surgery in December at the
Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center in Houston, and had four calcium deposits (钙物质) removed from
his right Achilles tendon (跟腱).
He spent the next three months in Houston for rehabilitation and basic training under the guidance of
doctors there.
"His recovery is better than we expected. Doctors believe that after three months" rehabilitation and training,
he has actually achieved the level of recovery that generally needs four months," Feng said.
Liu will, however, be absent from the ongoing annual Chinese People"s Political Consultative Conference
(CPPCC) meeting due to the recovery process. Feng said Liu is paying close attention to the meeting through
the Internet, and closely following issues such as athletes" education and life after retirement.
