A boy threatening to jump to his death and had been rescued by a stranger girl who pretended to be his girlfriend at that very instant. She wanted to get as close as possible to rescue the guy that she embraced and kissed him, this allowing others to pull him over the bridge.
Chinese media reports the 16-year-old boy mounted a Guandong province pedestrian bridge, intending to cast himself off and to his death.
Upon witnessing this intense situation, 19 year old woman bravely told bystanders she was in fact his girlfriend and therefore she was allowed to approach the suicidal boy to calm his emotion down although they had never met each other before.
After much persuasiveness, she decided the best approach is to embrace him and kiss him on his lips.
This pausing moment allow rescue workers to rush and drag him over.
The boy’s suicide attempt is said to have contributed from family problems – parent’s divorce, sick elder sister and withdrawal from school.
The young woman, who works on the front desk at a local hotel, was commented by media for her bravery and initiative. She only says she “wanted him to recognise the foolishness of his act, as I’ve done foolish things myself.”
