Here’s an interesting story out of Beijin, China, a man was pushed off a bridge by an angry passer-by after his threat to commit suicide held up traffic for five hours.
Retired soldier Lian Jiansheng, 66, broke through a police cordon and reached out to shake the hand of would-be jumper Chen Fuchao before shoving him off the bridge.
Lian was quoted saying, “I pushed him off because jumpers like Chen are very selfish. Their action violates a lot of public interests.”
“They do not really dare to kill themselves. Instead, they just want to raise the relevant government authorities’ attention to their appeals.”
Chen, 2 million yuan ($293,200) in debt because of a failed building project, fell 8 metres (yards) onto a partially inflated emergency air cushion and was hospitalized with wrist and back injuries. Meanwhile, his helpful “firend,” Lian was detained by police.
Chen was at least the twelfth person since early April to threaten suicide at the same spot, the Haizhu bridge in Guangzhou.
