Children's ability to act in cases of emergency can be truly impressive, just like Kevin McCallister in the Home Alone film series.

A seven-year-old boy, surnamed Lei, called the medical emergency numbers, his father, who was away for a business trip, and his teacher in rapid succession, after finding his mother had fainted at home in Hangzhou, East China's Zhejinag province on Thursday morning, Today Morning Express reported.

People were astonished with the boy's calmness and maturity, and even the telephone operator of the emergency line thought he was making a prank call at first.

A microblogger, named Istaly2014, said, "The boy is great, and his parents and teacher are greater by teaching him the skills to handle emergencies."
