WU Juping made headlines around the world yesterday with Internet users declaring her a hero for risking her life to save the girl who fell from the 10th floor of a building in Hangzhou.

The 31-year-old mother's selfless actions were the talk of Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites.

On Twitter, Green Harbor from the United States exclaimed: "Excellent job Wu Juping! You're my new Hero."

Paul Bantigue said: "Wu Juping, you are a hero! Your government should recognize your bravery and selflessness."

Some netizens even said she should win the Jerry Rice Award, an honor named after one of American football's greatest wide receivers, a role in which the ability to catch the ball is paramount.

"May I be the first to nominate Wu Juping for the Jerry Rice Award," netizen "aikoaiko" commented.
