A Chinese woman trapped in a locked room for 30 hours was finally rescued after she flung a pillow bearing a message written in her own blood out of a window, according to a local government statement.

The woman, only identified by her surname Zhou, was cleaning a guesthouse in western China's Sichuan province when she entered a bedroom without her phone, according to an article published by a local government social media account earlier this month.
