It's the ultimate decision, one that we all hope we never have to make: save your mother or save your spouse.

A man in China was forced to make the tough decision when floods swept through Daxian village, north-east China's Hebei province, last week, reports the People's Daily Online.

Gao Fengshou rushed to his mother's house first to check on her before returning for his wife and two children aged two and four. His wife was so angry at his decision that she decided to leave him.

According to the report, the event occurred at around 9pm on July 19.

Gao, a professional home decorator, saw on Chinese social media that heavy rain was on its way and would cause severe flooding to the region.

Gao's mother lives alone on the west side of Daxian village while he lives with his wife, father and children on the east side.

Instead of thinking about his wife, whom he had married for five years, the man's first concern was his mother.

He rushed to her house and saw that she was safe and the flooding had not affected her.

He then returned home to spend the rest of the night with her wife, who was panicking about the incoming flooding.

At around 1am on July 20, floodwaters reached his village and were rising quickly, the report said.

Upon seeing this, Gao dashed to his mother's house, leaving his wife, father and children behind.

When he arrived at his mother's house, the flooding had reached waist high.

Worried for her safety, Gao told her to stay in her neighbour's house before quickly driving back to his own home.

When he returned from checking on his mother, he found his family on the rooftop trying to escape from fast-flowing floodwaters.

His wife was unimpressed and has refused to speak to her husband.

The next day, she took her two children along with 2,000 yuan (£230) in cash and left Gao.

According to Chinese media, 25 people in the village died in the floods and 13 are still missing.
People have been discussing the story on China's social media site Weibo.

One user wrote: 'I always thought it was a fairy tale naive question. I did not expect it to be a reality. Brother I feel your pain.'

While another commented: 'To save the mother is right, but I can understand the reaction from his wife. Life is not easy.'

And one user said: 'As a wife and mother, I can understand this man's choice, but I'm sorry I will not forgive. This is my attitude.'

Hebei province is one of the worst affected areas by the flooding and heavy rain.

164 people have been killed and 125 remain missing in the latest flooding which has hit northern China over the past week.

ntin bad in it, iya ni wura

blood is thicker than blood, hmmn dnt lemme judge d man.

I like dis man.. U can always marry another wife buh u Can't have another mother as ur mom

Its understandable for the Wifey to "spark" for him now but didn't he leave his father behind with her?

You can't leave ur mom who birthed you? And you can't leave ur Wifey birthed ur kids or who you been screwing for all dis years? Shey, na ur mommy?!

And so the age-old existential question of who will you pick btw your mom & ur Wifey splits another home again.

Women issues: confusing men since 1702!

Haba

all about choice and individuality

She will one day become a mother of that age...This kind can curse her son to death if he doesn't show up to save her...The man's decision is thrilling... the wife is still so much energized than the aged mother to scamper for safety....
