Around 9:00 on May 28, police were called to a river near Changzhou’s East Railway Station to save a man who had reportedly taken a dive in. When they arrived, they were surprised to find out that the 22 year-old, surnamed Huang, had already jumped in earlier on in the day, though no one paid his first attempt any mind so he tried again.

Having recently graduated, Huang was back in his hometown applying for jobs. After a tiff with his parents, he stormed out of his home in rage and didn’t return for three days. After believing that his parents didn’t care about him, Huang felt the need to go to extreme measures to garner his parent’s attention. After the first jump, nobody saw him, so he decided to climb back up and try again. A passerby spotted him jumping the second time, and then called the police.

After informing his parents of the incident, his father wasn’t bothered at all and simply told the police that he wouldn’t pick his son up and that he should find his own way home instead. It was later revealed that the spat revolved around him spending his days playing games in internet cafes instead of applying for jobs, and his father had basically told him to grow up.
