Things proceeded from bad to worse after they got to the river in Ningbo, eastern China.
‘He called his brother on the way home and told him to go to the river and rescue the ex-girlfriend,’ a police spokesperson stated.
Wu’s brother then called the fire department, who arrived on the spot and assisted Jun in getting out of the water.
‘She was transported to the hospital but was released shortly after without any significant injuries,’ said a rescue worker.
The story rapidly went viral in China, where there is a chronic scarcity of women due to the country’s one-child policy, which meant parents preferred male newborns. As a result, there are millions of single men who will never marry because they are unable to find partners.
