A brave mother rushed to check on her toddler after a devastating gas explosion in their home.

Huang Jiamei was cooking when the blast shook the family home.

Luckily, she was used to closing the kitchen door behind her when cooking, which probably saved toddler Xu Nuo’s life.

Footage shows the door being ripped from its hinges as flames billow into the kitchen area.

The young boy is seen being sent flying by the force of the explosion.

His caring mum immediately goes to check on him despite being in apparent pain.

The 38-year-old suffered second-degree burns to between 60 and 70 per cent of her body in the explosion at her home in eastern China’s Zhejiang Province.

Luckily, her son only sustained a scratch on his back.

He was waiting on the other side of the closed kitchen door, crying for his mother, when the blast took place.

Huang immediately called her husband Xu Xiaohui who works as a hairdresser.

He rushed home and was stunned to find his partner with swollen hands and legs and singed hair.

As the couple made their way to hospital, he said Huang kept asking about their son.

After the gas blast, Huang underwent her first operation five days later.

Xu said they scraped her dead skin off with a steel brush to allow the tissue underneath to breathe.

Her doctor Jin Fang said he does not know how she managed to take care of her child while suffering in such pain, as reported by Need To Know.

One pal said: “A mother’s love is selfless.”

Another added: “She is such a brave mum.”

A third said: “She must be happy that her son was only slightly injured..

The family has also reportedly received over £108,365 (CNY 1 million) in donations.
