LIKE a real life version of Snow White, Liu Wenxiu's kiss literally saved the life of a 16-year-old boy.
Ms Liu was passing by a pedestrian bridge in downtown Shenzhen recently when she spotted hundreds of onlookers watching a young man with a knife in his hand, threatening to jump.
Ms Liu managed to get close to the boy by telling the onlooking policemen that she was his girlfriend and also the reason for his attempt to commit suicide.
'He told me he didn't have a home anymore, nobody cared about him and no one trusted him. I said nothing but showed him the scars on my right wrist. I used to be suicidal - I've attempted cutting my artery, jumping from a high building and others,' said Ms Liu
The negotiation on the bridge ended like a romantic comedy when Ms Liu hugged the boy and kissed him unexpectedly. Police took advantage of the situation to take away the boy's knife and pull him inside the handrail of the bridge.
'When I kissed him and when he put his hand (with the knife) on my waist, both of us were crying so hard,' she said. 'But I was happy as I knew I had saved him.' -- CHINA DAILY/ANN
