Two Young Zhejiang Men Die Saving Woman Trying to Commit Suicide

Two Zhejiang men recently died trying to save a 19 year old woman from committing suicide by jumping into a river. On May 14, Wang Xueyang (pseudonym), 19, attempted to commit suicide by jumping into the river by the basketball court in Pinghu Zhejiang’s Tongxinhua Park. She cried for help after hitting the water.

Hu Haojiang and Chen Geng was taking a walk through the park and heard her cries for help. The woman was struggling in the water about six meters from the shore.

Hu and Chen jumped into the river after the woman to save her. “At first the woman was struggled and refused to be save. Then she went quiet when she realized they were all in danger,” a witness told Hu’s family. The woman was able to cling to some debris and made her way to the shore. Exhausted, Chen and Hu were swept to the center of the river and slowly sank under while a crowd looked on from the shore.

Someone in the crowd called 110 and police rushed to the scene to rescue the two men. However, it was too late. Hu was only 20 years old and Chen was 18.

Local public security organs called the men’s actions courageous and bowed to their mothers in a ceremony.

The two young men’s bodies were buried back in their hometowns last week. More than 300 friends and relatives attended the funerals.
