Jilted Chinese bride saved from suicide by heroic stranger

altGetting dumped by your boyfriend is always tough, and doubly so if you guys were really serious. But what if your fiance suddenly called off your wedding? What if he did it the morning of the ceremony, while you were already in your white gown and all ready to walk down the aisle? And what if he ran off to immediately marry another girl? That nightmare scenario became reality for one Chinese woman, whose despair pushed her to the brink - literally.

Most of us might react to a bad breakup by retreating to our room in the dark, blasting Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U" and watching reruns of our favorite romantic comedies 100 times in a row. Some of us might even take down an entire tub of ice cream in a single sitting or take out our anger on several bars of chocolate and a giant bottle of wine. And, alright, we admit it - a little rebound sex with some random guy from the bar wouldn't be out of the question.

But most of us probably wouldn't do what 22-year-old Li-Wan did - she leaped out of a window, still wearing her wedding dress, The London Sun reports. Don't worry, though. Li-Wan will get another shot at true love, because a heroic man in the apartment below her caught her by the neck as she fell and saved her from certain death. "She was very sad about the end of her romance but she knows that now she has a second chance and should make the most of it," said Guo Zhongfan, her modest rescuer.
