Offbeat, World: Why this Chinese guy pushed another guy off a bridge
- Their action violates a lot of public interests. They do not really dare to kill themselves. Instead, they just want to raise the relevant government authorities’ attention to their appeals.

Lai said that his actions and the actions of the other 12 attempted bridge jumpers since April were “very selfish” and holding up traffic. (None of the 12 actually jumped.)
