World China bridge jumper "gets a push"

[UndeadDragon]

A man threatening to commit suicide by jumping from a Chinese bridge was approached by a passer-by who shoved him over the edge, local media say.

Lai Jiansheng, 66, said he was fed up with the desperate man's "selfish activity" which caused huge traffic jams in Guangzhou, southern China.

Chen Fuchao fell 26ft (8m) on to an air cushion and is recovering in hospital, the official Xinhua news agency said.

Xinhua said Mr Lai was "taken away by police", but gave no further details.

The drama unfolded when Mr Chen climbed on to Haizhu Bridge in Guangzhou on Thursday and threatened to jump.

Hahahaha awesome. I'd do the same thing if it wasn't for having to face a murder sentence afterwards. (That guy didn't die though, so prolly just attempted murder or assisting suicide)

He got what he deserved. Either jump or shut up, dont keep up the traffic.

The guy should not done it anyway "nuff said"

I lol'd, and endorse this man's actions 100%. If he didn't want to jump, then he wanted attention -- this way, he got both. Everybody wins!

Hahahha "stop your bitching" *push*. I love it.

I agree wtih the old guy. If you really want to die, then kill yourself, don't wait for someone to save ya.

"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."

Damn it. I agree with this guy (and the young guy in Post#10 ). I've sufferred from hours of jam just for no damn good reason. I mean, 5 hours jam? I'd be pissed if it were to be me. Standing there for more than 5 hours (!!) without any guts to jump... =.="

That dumb guy must be thinking "Wow... I love this kinda attention. It's getting good. I'm doing fine pretending... ". And out came Mr. Lai to save the day...

Mr Lai: *Shaking hand* "Hello, want to know something?"
Jumper: "What?"
Mr Lai: "THIS IS ((SPARTA)) CHINA!" *pushlol*
