A photographer opportuned to be on a bridge across the Wuhan Yangtze River in Wuhan, at Hubei province in central China took a picture of a couple that jumped off the bridge.
The boy is a 20-year-old migrant worker named as Liu Han,who was struggling to make a living.
Police who searched the river after
seeing the photographic evidence that the pair jumped failed to find
either of the bodies and after dark the search was called off.
A police spokesman added: 'That is a 40 metre drop - it is extremely unlikely that either of them are still alive.'
Suicide
rates among young people are high in China, where a person tries to
kill themselves every two minutes, the government says.
According to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, China's suicide rate is 22.23 people out of every 100,000.
About
287,000 people kill themselves in the country of 1.3 billion every
year, while about two million try to commit suicide annually.
I trust my Naija people, suicide is a no go area for us
