Nurse who rushed to save dying man during her wedding shoot dubbed the "most beautiful bride" in China

A nurse who tried to save a dying man during her wedding photoshoot has been dubbed China’s “most beautiful bride” for her heroic efforts.

Guo Yuanyuan was having bridal pictures taken at a seaside resort in the northeast Chinese city of Dalian when the man suffered a heart attack while swimming.

He was dragged to shore but his pulse had stopped.

Wearing her beautiful dress, she rushed to his side and began CPR.

For 20 minutes she battled to save his life, but sadly the man did not regain consciousness.

Her husband-to-be Liu Chuang said he was proud to have such a girlfriend and future wife.

He told local media: "Yuanyuan ran faster than me when we learnt that there was a man who had suffered a sudden heart attack."

Pictures of the incident went viral in China thanks to social networking site Sina Weibo and she earned the nickname “zuimeixinniang”, or the “most beautiful bride".

One user wrote : "It’s a bound duty for medical workers to save people, and the girl has shown her sense of responsibility and professionalism."

Another said: "Her husband is so lucky to have such a beautiful and kind-hearted wife."

In China it is common for couples to have wedding photos taken before the ceremony takes place.
