Chen Fuchao, a man heavily in debt, was attempting to commit suicide on a bridge in southern China for hours when a passer-by came up, shook his hand and then come the surprise, pushed him off the ledge! Chen fell 26 feet (8 meters) onto a partially inflated emergency air cushion and survived with spine and elbow injuries, according to Xinhua News Agency on Saturday. The passer-by, a 66-year-old man named Lai Jiansheng was fedup with Chen’s “selfish activity”.
“I pushed him off because jumpers like Chen are very selfish. Their action violates a lot of public interest,” Lai was quoted as saying by Xinhua. “They do not really dare to kill themselves. Instead, they just want to raise the relevant government authorities’ attention to their appeals.”
Chen has accrued 2 million yuan ($290,000) in debt from a failed construction project and was recovering in the hospital.
