(CNN) -- A passerby pushed a would-be suicide jumper off a bridge in southern China because he was angry at the jumper's "selfish activity," Chinese media reported Saturday.

It happened Thursday in the city of Guangzhou as Chen Fuchao threatened to jump off Haizhu Bridge, China's Xinhua news agency reported.

The bridge has gained a "macabre" reputation with 11 jumpers having thrown themselves off the bridge since the start of April, Xinhua said.

Traffic was held up for nearly five hours and a crowd gathered as Chen sat on the bridge, threatening to jump, Xinhua reported.

Chen wanted to kill himself because he had 2 million yuan ($294,000) in debt after a failed construction project, Xinhua reported.

Lian Jiansheng, 66, who was passing by the bridge, offered to talk Chen down, Xinhua said. Police refused, but Lian broke through the police cordon and climbed to where Chen was sitting.

Lian greeted Chen with a handshake, then pushed him off the bridge, Xinhua said.

Chen fell 26 feet (8 meters) onto a partially-inflated emergency air cushion, damaging his spine and elbow in the fall, Xinhua said. He is now recovering in a hospital.

A photographer documented the sequence of events. The photographs show Lian, dressed in a T-shirt, shorts and socks, saluting to the crowd after pushing Chen off.

"I pushed him off because jumpers like Chen are very selfish. Their action violates a lot of public interest," Lian told Xinhua. "They do not really dare to kill themselves. Instead, they just want to raise the relevant government authorities' attention to their appeals."

Police took Lian away after the incident, Xinhua said. It did not say whether he would face any charges.

[TOPEC]

the spot where the jumper is sitting at doesnt seem that far high off the ground.
at most he'll get a few broken bones.

note to potential bridge jumpers, if ur gonna jump, choose a place high enough that when u land, u actually fking die, AND, just fking jump, dont make a scene, if ur waitting and makeing a scene, then ur not ready to jump yet, come back when ur ready.

[3seriesBeeM]

^ thats true so many people just do it to amke a scene and get attention and never end up jumping just cause hours and hours of traffic congestion.

[Ronin]

Hahaha, that's awesome.

In all seriousness, fuck that guy for just sitting up there. Get on with the suicide already...no one cares. People don't want to be held up in traffic.

fuk i dont get suicide jumpers, if they REALLY wanted to kill themselves, they woulda gone up and jumped the fuk off before ppl knew wat was goin on. I dont understand those that threaten to do so and wait hours on end. wtf. either stfu take ur life up the ass or just kill urself if u have the balls to do so.

[InvisibleSoul]

Good job, loh bak!

in this case i think the guy is hoping that by holding up traffic and with the banner and all the media would make it a big deal and the guy that owns him money will pay up.

obviously backfire now the focus is on the 66 yr old spider man.

[Razor Ramon HG]

Owned by a "lo bang."

[TRD3000GT]

Is that a leaking air cushion? LOL

That old man did a good job! If the jumper really want to die, he should had jump after he climbed up the bridge. He is just wasting time and causing traffic jam.

[woob]

oh... I thought the passerby was gonna push him off the bridge and kill him.

[Volvo-brickster]

if only people here in Vancouver could do the same without being charged with assault or second degree muder

[ZenZa]

oh... I thought the passerby was gonna push him off the bridge and kill him.

Same here. I thought he was going to push him over the edge into the water. lol.

Either way, good job old man!

They never intend to kill themselves. They just want to feel significant again so they clamour for sympathy.

Trust me, even if no one sympathizes and no one paid attention, they still wouldn't jump off a bridge. They'd just hang out there for hours until they get tired and call it a day.

I really know this for a fact.

The more dramatized the spectacle is, the more faux it is. It's those introvert ones are the one that people ought to worry about.

[BabyblooLexus]

LOLLL ownd

[q0192837465]

lol, the old man did everyone a favor

[pyro123]

old dude ftw

The more dramatized the spectacle is, the more faux it is. It's those introvert ones are the one that people ought to worry about.:lol I remember this one time I was chatting up some Mexican tourist while eating pizza downtown with a buddy. He was telling me how in Mexico you never have to worry if some gangsta wanna be threatens to shoot you, because if he really wanted to he would've done it already and disappeared silently into the crowd.

If you want sympathy, the way to do it is to either call up your friends, or the local suicide hotline if you don't have any. Tying up everyone else isn't the way to go. And people seem to be all horrified when onlookers tell them to jump.. :rolleyes:

[!Tigger]

rofl the old man should come here to serve some justice

[you]

hahaha funny as hell old man ftw :lol
