In the video, a toddler was entangled in the tail of an orange kite, and was at risk of falling at any time as the strong wind swings. The video content has attracted the attention of netizens, and many people are worried about the child's situation.
Is this true?

Fujian Rumor Refuting Platform reporters searched the Internet and found that the Shandong Weifang International Kite Festival was held from April 20 to 25 every year. This year's Kite Festival was even online due to the epidemic. It mainly focused on the theme of kites, collecting participating kites flying videos and various excellent cultural ideas. In other words, if there is indeed an accident in the video at the Kite Festival, it should be the Kite Festival last year or earlier. It started to spread more than a year later, and there was obviously doubt at the time point.

After investigation by reporters, it was rumored that the video online was actually an accident that occurred at the International Kite Festival in Hsinchu, Taiwan in August 2020. According to Taiwan Strait Network 2020 cited a report from Taiwanese media, when the accident occurred, the girl's neck was entangled with a kite's long tail and dragged it into the air. The girl stayed in the air for about 30 seconds and was rescued. Fortunately, she was only frightened and had a slight scratch on her face and neck, which was not serious.
