Man, you have no idea sometimes I just wish I could do this...or wish someone would do it for them

BEIJING — Chen Fuchao, a man heavily in debt, had been contemplating suicide on a bridge in southern China for hours when a passer-by came up, shook his hand — and pushed him off the ledge.

Chen fell 26 feet (8 meters) onto a partially inflated emergency air cushion laid out by authorities and survived, suffering spine and elbow injuries, the official Xinhua News Agency said Saturday.

The passer-by, 66-year-old Lai Jiansheng, had been fed up with what he called Chen's "selfish activity," Xinhua said. Traffic around the Haizhu bridge in the city of Guangzhou had been backed up for five hours and police had cordoned off the area.

A half inflated bouncy coushin. Was he aware of the bouncy coushin below? He could have in fact tended to kill him. He should be charged with attempted murder.

Nah. People are selfish when they go out in public and do all that crap. If you really want to die, stay at home and do it. Don't make others see you do it.
 
Stay at home to do it, and DO IT RIGHT.



Though the hit on the cross bar looked a bit painful.

He was a sick man who was struggling with some problems.

That man should be charged with attempted murder.
 
re

Nowhere does it say the man was sick This guy was DISTRAUGHT not sick. Im going to goole this guy and how much do ou want to bet he is either tied to child labor or a sweat shot of some kind? Good for the guy who pushed him. Quit freaking coddling these people as it doesnt do anybody any good.

Suicidial ideations is a MENTAL ILLNESS. He was sick. Why does he have to be tied to child labor or sweat shops? Because this occured in China?
 
re

umm yeah, thats exactly the reason why im making that assumption which ill google to make sure, failed construction project is where he lost his money. You know ill stand behind the rest i said though as im sure his materail is either made by a child or in a sweat shop as this is china were talking about. Mental illnes my arse. This is a guy who lost his wealth for one reason or another and couldnt stand the thought of living like his employees or the oher poor of the country.

NO differant then the american business man who commited suicide after stealing everybodies money and losing it all. Was he sick? no he was just a COWARD too afraid to face his acusers and to take his punishment. instead chose the easy cowards way out and killed himself so he didnt have to face either.

Why do we have to be so friendly to everybody now...

We are not being friendly to everyone, we are understand that people who want to kill themselves are sick, and shouldn't be treated with such contempt.
 
The Chinese culture is one based heavily on their pride. None of us can sit here and pass judgment on him saying he was or was not mentally ill. I've been on several calls where students of Chinese decent kill themselves for getting a 'B' in a class, thinking that they have no chance of medical school after getting their Bachelors. They think and act very impulsively. Conversely, China doesn't offer much in the world of counselors or mental health treatment. They have a "suck it up and deal with it" mentality. Both ends of the situation doesn't surprise me much...in fact, it's probably par for the course.
