Beer Steak Bullshit

Today’s hall of famer’s name is… Lai Jiansheng – 66 year old retired soldier who got fed up with indecisive suicidal man and solved his dilemma in style. This is what went down on Thursday May 21, 2009 in China: Lai Jiansheng was on his way to do some personal shit but got stuck in a major traffic jam on Haizhu Bridge in Guangzhou. He went out to find out what the hell was keeping him away from moving on and was told that there’s a guy by the name of Chen Fuchao contemplating suicide. Chen Fuchao has been up there for 5 hours and the police had the Haizhu bridge shut off and looking for the way to help suicidal man out. But Lai Jiansheng was not having any of that cheap crap.

66 year old grandpa Lai Jiansheng climbed up the construction of the bridge, reached Chen Fuchao, shook hands with him and pushed him off the bridge ultimately solving his “to jump or not to jump” dilemma. Grandpa Lai Jiansheng but have watched The Good, The Bad and The Ugly – especially the “When you have to shoot… shoot! Don’t talk!” part with Tuco and passed it on to Chen Fuchao in a little altered form – “When you have to jump… jump! Don’t don’t keep the traffic stuck for 5 hours!” See video reminder below.

After Lai Jiansheng pushed him off the bridge, Chen Fuchao fell 8 meters and landed on a partially inflated air cushion surviving the fall. He’s recovering in the hospital and claims that debt worries were the reason behind his suicide tendencies. While still on the Haizhu bridge, Lai Jiansheng waved at other by passers (that’s when photo above was captured – copyright AP) and climbed down. He was taken to police custody and said that he was fed up with Chen Fuchao’s selfish activity.

According to the police, Chen Fuchao was 2 Million yuan in debt (equivalent to $293,000 US) after his construction project failed. Now he’s gonna be pretty mad at Lai Jiansheng cause he’s alive which means he’ll have to pay off his debts. On the other hand, the bank that loaned Chen Fuchao money or the insurance company which would have to shell out if he went poof will surely appreciate Lai Jiansheng for saving them from losing 2 Million yuan. 66 year old grandma should be getting an appreciation check in the mail soon.

…and an actual video recording of Lai Jiansheng gracefully ending the suicide contemplation of Chen Fuchao:
