A man’s performance to win back his ex-girlfriend has made him an internet sensation in China.
According to reports, he begged her to take him back while waiting outside her place of business for 21 hours.
In Dazhou, Sichuan province, from 1:00 p.m. on March 28 until 10:00 a.m. on March 29, the unidentified man who was with a flower remained there all night.
People gathered to take photos and observe the man who remained stationary as rain started to fall, he was focused on the task of rekindling his love with his ex.
Li, an eyewitness, described how he was being urged to get up from his knees but he remain at the said spot.
He claimed that although the man had been squatting on the pavement in the rain, he had fled the following morning “probably because he could not bear the cold any longer.”
Sichuan police were notified about the event by bystanders, who also attempted to get him to leave.
Li told South China Post: “Many of us tried to talk him into leaving. It’s not necessary to keep on kneeling. The girlfriend is not willing to show up but you are still here, losing face.”
“He said his girlfriend broke up with him a few days ago. He wants to seek her forgiveness and he hoped she could date him again,” an officer was quoted as saying.
