Chef Gets Stuck In Well During Failed Suicide Bid

A 19-year-old man who tried to commit suicide by jumping into a narrow well was rescued after police and fire fighters dug more than six meters to free him in Zhengzhou, Henan province last Sunday.

Liang Xian, a local cook, jumped into the 40-m deep, 40-cm wide well after a fierce quarrel with colleagues.
