At 4:21:28, the cry went out “she jumped!”, as the girl jumped off the window sill. Just as everyone were worrying for her safety, someone’s right arm suddenly reached out from the 7th floor window, catching the girl around her neck, with the left arm reaching out to grab her wedding dress. Apparently, Kuancheng District sub-district office director Guo Zhongfan had read the situation clearly, rushed forward, and grabbed Li X just before her body fell.

Is it necessary to give up the entire forest for one tree!? That girl simply didn’t think things through at the moment! After some time, she’ll get better! There are plenty of good men in the world! Just like me! If it’s possible, I’m willing to marry her to be my wife!! Does everyone support me in this?

网易辽宁省阜新市网友:

I salute the rescuer! A true man!

网易江西省南昌市网友:

Before dying, she wore one time the one thing women want most to wear, which tells us what?

网易浙江省网友:

Life is fragile. It wasn’t easy for your parents to raise you. Cherish [your life].

May good things come to good people!

网易广东省佛山市南海区手机网友:

The police aren’t there, only the officials are there, a very timely show [for the people], haha.

网易浙江省网友:

Looks like she was exposed for a bit…

网易上海市网友:

Dying is very simple, don’t cause trouble for other people! Everyone’s life is difficult, you’re wasting everyone’s time. And you put on such a bullshit stunt! Nowadays some bullshit people suffer some grievance or difficulty and they make a fuss about suicide. Disgusting!! Fuck~~

网易北京市朝阳区网友:

Oh my, so frightening. This is a 50 plus kg person falling. If not careful, the person grabbing her above would also be taken down with her.
Saving a person’s life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.
Director Guo, well done, you have my admiration!

网易江苏省苏州市网友:

Recently, I’ve seen several pieces of this kind of news, and all I want to say is: Those girls need to be more considerate of their parents, and how hard it was for them to raise you up, at the same time resting their old age hopes on you. You committing suicide over a man is truly too selfish (also, you girls need to be more careful when finding boyfriends).

网易河南省焦作市网友:

This kind of public servant [government official] is what a good public servant is like~

There are plenty of good men in the world! Personals @ chinaSMACK.
