A boy threatening to throw himself to his death has been rescued by a girl who tricked bystanders into thinking she was his girlfriend so as to get close, at which point she embraced and kissed him, allowing his rescue.
Chinese media reports the 16-year-old boy mounted a Guandong province pedestrian bridge, intending to cast himself off and to his death.
Witnessing this, a 19-year-old woman told bystanders she was in fact his girlfriend, and was allowed to approach the suicidal lad in order to talk him down. The pair had never met before.
Rather than a lengthy remonstration with the agitated boy, she soon opted for a more direct approach, embracing the boy and kissing him.
The pause allowed rescue workers to rush forward and drag him to safety, ending the drama.
The boy’s suicidal impulse is said to have stemmed from family troubles – divorced parents, a sickly elder sister and withdrawal from school all contributed to his low spirits, it is said.
The Chinese media and Internet has feted the young woman, who works the front desk at a local hotel, for her bravery and initiative. She only says she “wanted him to recognise the foolishness of his act, as I’ve done foolish things myself.”
lucky hes 16, or they might just arrest her for this
China is getting so damn epic lately
that’s so sweet and the rescue workers were so fast =D
in america people would just watch you jump…
Awww, how touching. Let’s just hope her moustache and goatee didn’t give her away in the process~
He was taking the only rational course of action. She wasn’t doing him any favors.
I could imagine this to be some introduction for some manga.. Suicidal boy meets girl who saves his life with a kiss. And then there you go. Probably a sankarea-style manga. Gahahaha
THE CHINESE ARE ALOUD TO HAVE T.V.’S!!!???
I call bullshit, bet this was staged by those commie fags to make themselves look good. He should of killed himself and dragged that bitch with him. Rest of China should follow and off themselves. Wouldn’t affect the rest of the world at all to be rid of Chinese.
Is that a knife that the guy is flashing in the footage?
If so I would have less compassion for the kid.
If this was in Japan people would just have minded their own business and let him fall.
btw that girl that saved him tried to commit suicide too she tried to killer herself by cutting her wrist
those rescue workers are damn fast as fuck, congrats to those fellows too.
kiss of life
airbags deployed downstairs already, redundant hug & kissu… a bonus for the boy.
Someone must have bombed their Sr. High entrance exam.
Lol,If she doesn’t date him now,he’s got one more reason to commit suicide xD
That is a very cute story.
Disclaimer: Threatening suicide in a public place does not guarantee a free kiss from a cute girl.
the sickly older sister has more reason to throw herself off a bridge then he does
Most impressive good news coming from China and on Sankakucomplex itself
Get the Screenwriters this might make a good story line
Divorced parents a sick elderly sister school dropout and loss of purpose
Insert heroine the girl
And start drama
In Japan, she would of pushed him.
My god why hasn’t anyone else thought of this!? This could have at least cut back the suicide rates in japan by half. Because arn’t most of those fuckers virgin derp geeks? Not the cool kind of geeks who help you with your homework or show you a cool game I’m talking about the poindexter losers who got the shaft in the gene pool.
If that thing kisses me I’ll have twice as many reasons to kill myself.
should have let the faggot die. weak minded fools are unnecessary, as are attention seeking whores.
not to mention the downright intolerant…
At that height? He’d only break his legs like in the Dark Knight.
would it have worked if she was fat?
Awesome real life drama lol. Though after reading abt the kid’s circumstances, I kinda feel sorry for him.
I cant trust anything from China, anything could be staged, those Chinese will do anything to get media attention.
It is sad that I cant even believe in human goodness anymore from a land which once preaches Confucianism
Since this is China at first I thought she was gonna get roasted by their media for “shameful act” of kissing in public!
Finally! A girl confidently realizes she not only possesses sexual power, but uses its force for good!
Such a nice ending but I wonder how long the boy will last if he seriously is fed up with life.
Sorry its just the cynicalism in me talking.
as an story anime 😀
Maybe there is some good in this world…
all the boy needed was a /hug
wow those rescue workers were like ninjas
well just goes to show you the magic of love (cliche cliche)
be funny to find out later that suicidal boy sues girl that rescued him with kiss for sexual harassment.
ah chinese, just like him die.
hes just a chinese.
chinese should die.
Couldn’t agree more. Death to all Chinese!
Does he have a knife or a cell phone in his hand?
somehow i can see the kaketama escaping
It’d be sad if the guy attempts to prosecute the girl for sexual harassment.
I feel like this relates strongest to Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni seeing as how in Chinese she literally told the news “I have also killed myself many times before.”
So when’s she going to be arrested for sexual contact with an underage boy?
The world is so fucked up that it wouldn’t surprise me if she was….
this is like right out of some romance manga or something!
wow!
so when’s the anime coming out? :3
I think im in love. Not only does she have a cute face, but she’s selfless. Take notes women (and men for that matter). Also, I had to look up “feted” to rid myself of the doubt of any sarcasm.
u slut 😉
It doesnt look like he was that high up. I think i fell from a tree that was that high and landed on my butt and i was fine.
D’awwwwwww China’s won my heart for the week.
Commiting suicide never solves anything but causes more pain to those around you. Luckily this woman was able to bring some sense into this kid even though it was through embrace. Well at least no one got hurt or died which is the good thing.
She should have yelled “GARBAGE DAY” and pushed him off the edge.
The girl was actually hot.
I think them not hooking up might be bad for him but I guess they’ll cross that bridge if they get to it.
I’m surprised by a story like this coming out of China maybe there is hope for them after all.
Usually you hear of stories like this one.
http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/man-pushed-suicide-jumper-off-bridge/story-e6frfku0-1225715089835
Shouldn’t it be the other way around instead of the princess rescuing her knight in shining armor?
what this fag is getting kissed by a 19y old woman.I think he needs a beating for that.
Wow there is someone worthwhile in China.
I’m sorry, who are you exactly?
Make a movie out of this! Looks like the recipe for a nice romance. Though it’s probably not so happy irl.
and then she was arrested for making out with a 16-year-old.
Oh sure, a 16 year old becoming traumatized for being kissed by a girl 3 years older, if that’s the case, then I wanna be traumatized too.
i doubt he would die fron that height…
he would probably be severaly injured though…
anyway, that was a full wet kiss…
i think im going to find miself a bridge, and see if it works for me too 😉
so what if a 19 yr old dude went up and kissed a suicidal 16 yr old girl. Would the reception be the same?
Damn what a fine women, she older too (*.*) but nice that there was a nice ending this time. But aye he could end up stalking her whcih will just cause problems!
After feeling her tender lips, now he’s craving for more….
So what would be the name of this dating sim?
And so, a new anime was born.
What is the name of the Eroge?
I love how fast and rough the workers just moved in.
cute XD
Puberty vs Appeal – 0:1
This is really damn touching..
what bull shit but i just read!?
Wow, sometimes this world amuse me with such a surprise act like this, a remarkable woman indeed, like others, i hope this does not turn into a personal nightmare for her.
There are still good in this fucked world, God bless those who still do right things, no matter what.
Awww! That’s kind of sweet. This made me smile.
is…
is this really on SanCom? Did I just fall into some bizarre dimension, where everything is backwards?
All we need is love!!!
“divorced parents, a sickly elder sister and withdrawal from school”
“His mother died young,his father married and got him a step-mother.Not only did the mother treat him badly but also cheated the entire of his father’s money.He never felt the love/warmth of having a family”
is what I heard
This makes so much more sense.
if the same situation, but the girl was jumpping off and a guy comes and kisses her, i think that would be considered sexual harassment.
I hope 2ch make some good drawings
It’s been a while since I’ve read such a “good” news about someone doing something great. Like most of the people know, almost only “bad” news are put into emphasis in the media.
Foolish as it may seem she did care enough to try to make him understand there is more to live for.She gave her best shot, and she pull it off well enough to save the young man life.
that video really is dramatic.
So if it was the other way around; a girl trying to commit suicide and a boy comes up and does the same thing.
Would he:
A. Get arrested for assault
B. Get arrested for attempted rape
C. Get arrested for looking at her before and further adding the felony because he also kissed her.
unless the guy was terribly good looking
http://sexylosers.com/007.html
There’s a whole series of this joke.
There is always a group of loser males who want to bitch about equality when the situation doesn’t call for it.
It doesn’t matter if they hooked up or not afterwards, that girl is amazing for her quick thinking. I approve of her existence.
That bridge looks only 3 floors high. Frightening height to look down but not enough to kill a human.
There are cars going around, falling while hit by a 60 kph vehicle will kill or get flattened.
Good he got a second chance, he may think it twice now, I think he should be braver and assume life with courage!… ^_^
Seems like Japanese people really get into anime characters, I mean, this sound so much like something that would happen in anime or a movie, it’s a good way to save someone!… ^_^
Dateline NBC: to catch a predator w/ Chris Hansen
“As you can see here a 29 year old has fallen for our decoy 16 year old. Is she Dangerous?”
Hope it doesn’t turn out to be a “Frankenstein” for her. As disturbed as he is she might have created her own personal stalker.
She to be praised though for thinking quickly and saving the day.
Hope they both live happy lives.
why do people always think so negatively, not just you but all of us
my toughts exactly, she may left behind her sad past, but he can turn berzeker any moment.
I do to, hope for them both a happy life and lots of lolis.
Nobody said they were dating.
A year later…
The boy that was trying to kill himself is now dating with his savior, his parents finally divorced but he moved to live with her so he’s really happy, her sister illness was cured after some unknown person pay the medical expenses for the surgery, he also finish school and now is waiting to start university because he get a full schoolarship at medicine.
On his first day of university, his now “savior” wife accompanied him, and when he’s almost inside she hug him and give him a passionate kiss, just like the one that save his life…now giving him some hope.
On the way back to her appartment, the newlywed buy some groceries and while smiling she muttered…
“….just as planned”.
“It started with a kiss…”
So they aren’t going to bish about her kissing a 16 year old boy. Oboi. :>
But that was kinda unexspected. Suicide boy saved by a kiss. I wonder how that worked out. Stunned by the kiss? Didn’t know what to do?
what a great story it is, except the last sentence
The end made me lol hard. XD
What a sweet story! Sort of like “Densha Otoko” in reverse. Be nice if they were destined to meet and hook up.
Can never have enough romance in life.
This is nothing like densha otoko,what makes you think like that? It’s more like this drama (forgot the title) where a young man and a young women meet through preventing a mature man to commit suicide at the railroad tracks… Densha Otoko has to do something with bravery, not common sense (the girl acted sly but not brave since she didn’t rescue the boy himself but the security grabbed him…)
he should have thrown her and then himself, he would have done a favor to her, to him and everyone else. xD
The ironic thing is that she would have been tagged a child molester in the west becuase the boy was only 16…
Legal in the US, too, in most parts! 16 is the age of consent in many states … specifically Connecticut where I hail from.
Legal in england my friend!
Is that what’s on your mind?
I’m thinking whether to fap to this.
Densha Otoko was the first thing I thout of when I read the article. Will need to keep watch on this one to see how it turns out.
Wasn’t the so called “Kiss of Death” ?
Btw, is amazing nothing exploded (for now).
hence the bomb squad grabbing him at the end to disarm his weiner.
Just wait for it, something WILL explode.
I bet there was an explosion in the boy’s pants.
that girl watched too much anime, yeah! 😀
Good for her! That girl was really thinking on her feet. I hope things work out for the guy.
A nice story with a happy ending.
Expect to see this situation in an upcoming anime near you!
16 year old boy……hesitated to commit suicide by an embrace and kiss from a GIRL. Yup…..he’s a shut-in with no other hopes of getting laid 🙁
Someone better put this in “Crowning Moment of Heart Warming” Page on TVTropes
someone already did – i was gonna do it but too late someone got to it first!
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Heartwarming/RealLife
bottom of the page
brb pedestrian bridge
Nice drama story.
Nice boat!
No, that’s kefir.
I remember a similar case in which the guy was instead pushed down by a pissed off motorist. That was epic.
Lol China.
what would she do if he had jumped after the kiss 😕
woman intuition, she instantly knew he just wanned to get laid ^^
Now this is literature material.
I lived my whole life with divorced paretns, and almost never gave a single fuck about it. He’s a weakling.
I’m gonna start pretending to commit suicide now.
Also, just a personal pet peeve, but why is a 19 year old called a woman? I think they should be called girls till at least 21. The same goes for the terms boy and man.
In most countries the age of majority is at 18:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_majority#Countries_and_subdivisions
(wtf El Salvador? females at 17, males at 18? And in Iran it’s 15… wow)
riiight…I don’t think you’d be as lucky though,wherever you live in…
Yeah…
Daaaaw. :3
That’s so cute.
Those security guys swooped in and carried him off like he was Tank Man.
Cool story. He just needed someone by his side at the right time and this happened to be it. It doesn’t seem like most Chinese or Japanese lead a fulfilling life that leads to happiness aside from slaving away. Then again this site could just be highlighting all of complete negatives but still. Living anywhere can be hard if your situation is shitty.
No.. most of it is true.
Zat girl’s da bass.
Hey, Does anyone know anyplace which fills with only beautiful girls ?? Because I wanna commit suicide now 😀
WHO NEEDS ANIME WHEN WE HAVE CHINA?
DUDE!!! WFT!!! Now I want to jump from a bridge too!! haha
sooo sweet :3
If it were a 19 year old guy kissing a 16 year old girl, he’d be in jail by now, and you know it to be true.
Oh society you so crazy.
no..no no YOU SO CRAZY.
She’d still be on the sex offender’s registry if she tried it in the states.
they would say something along the lines that he took advantage of her situation
I hate it when these kind of people say they are going to kill themselves only to change their mind… If you want to die just fucking jump already! Don’t wait for the press or a rescue team to get there! You’re just bothering a shit load of people for your own selfish actions! Just die already!
I know this may sound like I’m an asshole, but seriously, what the fuck!?
They don’t want to die. It’s a cry for help. And even if they do want to die, once you get up there you look down and see how far away the ground is and it’s like FUUUUUUUUU-
Fool! They dont want to die! No one wants! They want to be saved.. it only comes to this if they are driven into a corner.. but no ones wishes to die.. they want to live a happy life. Maybe he realized now that there are more options.
So what exploded?
His heart exploded.
Maybe something in his pants^^
and to think most parents in China prefer sons over daughters
the female deserves that performed the deed gets my respect
This is something that you don’t see IRL every day.
Yet, the irony to this is that you can witness something similar like that in almost any Visual Novel.
Makes you wonder if life would be better if it were more like VNs.
Obviously obvious.
Be careful what you wish for.
Saya no Uta, School Days, etc.
And now they’re stealing kisses…..though not a bad thing I suppose
Truly indeed, that’s a Kiss of
DeathLife~Penis saves suicidal people!
I demand the photo of the Oneesan right now
i’ll expect this same boy in the news a few months from now. he will attempt suicide again because the girl who kissed him didn’t love him as he thought she does.
Its sad that this is probably the truth and as stated he more then likely will try again but there is a small chance something that will that will change his life ….maybe a child hood love will find from this video
>< I just want some happen endings
As expected from the Happiest country in the world.
Like they have a choice.
That’s not really Happy…
They have a choice!
1. Be happy
2. OR ELSE!
thats exactly what I was thinking.
An this time a kiss isn’t gonna cut it.
This time the Girl won’t bother to save that boy anymore.
She’ll come and blow him off instead, that’ll save him
+1 to the first anons
He got rushed by Morning Lescue guys.
nice manga start?
for new manga series?
China wins an award for the first true 3d anime.
You must not watch asian drama. This sort of thing is common on that frontier. In real life, on the other hand…
Funny, I was thinking the exact same thing, now all we need is for an alien to give him the ability to pilot a giant mech, her the ability to generate and automatically wear cosplay clothing and staves that shoot beams, an evil alien race to fight, and three more people to form a team and generate love dodecahedrons with! who knows, maybe it will happen, say, December 21 2012?
I’d prefer they change it to a girl and make it into a slice of life yuri anime. That would rule.
I see what you did there!
They could also make the girls younger, tsunderes, one of them a bratty rich kid, and the other a chubby sadist.
It would go one and one-half seasons, at least.
Don’t forget about the tsundere love interest.
ugh, tsunderes suck in my personal world, uh….
in BOTH ways “suck” actually
Best first comment on an article I’ve ever seen.
are you retarded?
OVA anime final scene:
Girl: Dont do this, I was like you before. Doing this is silly!
Boy: I’m gonna die, you ain’t saving me!
Girl: I’m not going to save you. I’m just going to say you’re an idiot for doing this.
*kiss*
(violin music)
[credits]
Now that is drama made reality.
Maybe that woman watched too much soap operas.
thank the gods
Maybe we should watch more soap operas.
This is one SICK BUT COOL way to liven up an asshole’s sexually deprived life… XD
U 2 need to grow up allot more.
Says the guy speeking 1337. HAHAHA.
yup, some loser dudes who only want a girlfriend sometimes tend to be suicidal just to get one… and in this case, that kid scored pretty well much… just sayin’…
but, somehow i gotta give credit to that lady… i mean, most girls wouldn’t care much…
Maybe, but iam pretty sure in this case that he had better reasons then this.
Somewhere in China, the guy is saying “JUST AS PLANNED.”
And soon a bunch of other ronery men will be crowding those pedestrian bridges hoping some hot girl will “save” them.
baka^^ but would be bad ass
This will be made into an OVA.
A VN would be more appropriate, his tragic life somehow seems too juicy a material for various sad endings that are atypical of memorable VN’s
Knowing the Japanese… 100% true.
Add a rival love hidden in a corner wanting him to suicide, for her to follow him after, and a prettty interesting Manga starts there, OVAs comming later on.
Love triangles are terrible.
It always ends with either a harem ending or the protagonist choosing the wrong girl.
I’m pretty much sick of the love triangle archetype. Everything that follows afterwards is often just stereotypical drivel.
You don’t need a third wheel to make an enticing and engaging story. If you do, you lack imagination.
its chinese not japanese dude
Actually in the clip she says that when she saw the boy, she was reminded of herself in the sense that she had also been suicidal in the past. When she went to talk to him (after bluffing her way past security) the boy apparently told her that she couldn’t save him and that he was going to die, that’s when she pulled the ‘I don’t want to save you but I just want to tell you what an idiot you’re being’ line, before kissing him.
MORNING RESCUE!
bwahaha! u win! xDDD
nice i recommend MORNING WOOD rescue!
no shit, good job ruining the joke
Oh those rescuers totally remind me of MORNING RESCUE
The dude needs a drink. Seriously, it’ll brighten up his morning.
Morning rescue? More like MOANING LESCUE.
That fall doesn’t look that deadly.
FUCK YEAH.
A happy article on SanCom…?
“divorced parents, a sickly elder sister and withdrawal from school”
somebody please help
I think my chinese is bad cos’ I’ve heard “His mother died young,his father married and got him a step-mother.Not only did the mother treat him badly but also cheated the entire of his father’s money.He never felt the love/warmth of having a family”
somebody please help
Aren’t the people who go to suicide in really public places (e.g. a pedestrian bridge over a busy intersection) and then draw the whole thing out only faking it to get attention?
I would have thought if you had decided to suicide and were serious you’d do the old “waiting for the train and jump all of a sudden” or “overdose on rat poison in your living room” trick which is less likely to be interrupted by meddling passers by.
The ones that do it in really public places are crying out for help…
dawww
this is so cute
and a little sad at the same time…
Let’s see what 2ch have to said about this.
Prolly along with this line
‘As expected of country of barbarians’ -.-;
Conversely sankaku posters will say:
“As expected of a country of explosions”
“CHINA QUALITY”
“As expected of China…”
Everything to get known.
Wow, a story about china that isnt about exploding stuff
His heart exploded with LOVE~
LMAO!:p that was great exploded with love
You fool! She was trying to talk him down quickly because the bridge was about to explode.
They can make an anime of this.
For real,damn he is a lucky guy !!
I’d say this is a pretty good ending
Next Train-man
The Kiss of Life !
That will only incite copycats. who want to get free kisses and shit. Think that’s ludicrous? Humanity is just that stupid.
A boy’s life being saved by a girl’s kiss…
Realistic Anime ending? ^^
why does it has to be evrything about anime! FUCK!
remember what site we are on….
this anime is unrealistic
i’ll pass
just amazing—– ^_^
Welcome to NHK comes to mind
amen 😀
maybe…
In animes, the two would have ended together.
Not in this case I bet. The young woman thought it was only her duty to save him, by whatever means necessary. That alone makes the woman deserve a medal.
How many bitches out there would put their ego aside to kiss one loser kid so he won’t take his own life?
My evil side talking: whore just wanted attention lol
I know you’re trying to be cool, but no one respects you for talking like that. You’re trying way too hard. And the fact that you keep referring to women as bitches and whores reflects the company you keep more than the reality.
Also, with all the diseases and shit out there I sure as fuck wouldn’t expect anyone to kiss a random stranger. Especially in China.
They should give that girl a fucking medal. She’s bro as fuck.
Stop using “bro” like that, it’s disturbing as hell.
I donno man. I thought it’s pretty appropriate.
It happened in a quite packed city, where you expect everyone to save their own skin and not stick their necks out(much less their lips) just to survive another day. Then came a woman who puts away her Asian girl pride and take chances of saving a kid’s life by kissing him mouth to mouth, even though most of us know he might be better off dead now(attempted suicide is punishable by Chinese law), and would rather save it for the man she loves, or at least willing to pay her into it.
She’s as ‘bro’ as any man can ever be for his fellow brethren. Don’t expect feminists on this site to understand that concept.
….wtf, there’s no Chinese law to punish anyone who attempts suicide…unless you are talking about N.Korea…
Yeah, you’d expect most bitches to care too much about their pride. Some won’t even give a call to the authorities, let alone kissing a complete stranger.
At least, I’m certain there’s no such woman where I live. A guy got hit by a car right across the street where I used to work and people including women who came back from lunch treated his corpse like an animal roadkill and left him to bleed to death for 15 minutes before his relatives came and called the ambulance.
So the men standing there didn’t do anything either but yet you place the blame on the “bitches”?! Absolutely brilliant logic!
women and men are different, but different doesn’t mean better or worse
While women’s aspirations are often legitimate and the feminists have a point, the sad truth is that women were given vaginas and they are unfairly hoarding them. Rather than sharing their vaginas with everyone the way God intended, women restrict access, demand that men pay or submit to their demands.
We’ll give women respect, job and salary parity, when women provide unrestricted access to their hoohas.
To the Chinese hottie in the video. I am feeling suicidal and will gladly pay airfare to have you quiet me ‘down’, if you know what I mean.
Women aren’t better than men, but they are certainly better than your whiny ass.
Oh gawd another guy blaming all the world’s ills on feminism. Grow some balls. Who cares what that small percentage of crazy women think. Well, clearly you do. Which is just what they want.
You’re right, they’re just people, with the same good and bad responses to situations as their male counterparts.
Feminism is about getting the same pay for same work and the same opportunities that men have for education and jobs. Not more, just the same with no special consideration.
Femine extremists are just like any other group of fanatics, blind to reality.
I didn’t say the men there were saints.
I’m just saying the women there at the time are just as fucked up as the rest of the intelligent animals at the scene. All the while, feminists have been barking this propaganda about women supposedly being better than men.
like a boss.
She mut be some hidden superhero known as Whorewoman who can save civilians with a kiss/sex
wow you fail
That Bridge was like 10 feet off the ground…
Sure they’re like 4 feet tall but come on..
You don’t build an overpass with just 10 ft high, especially in a busy district like that with all the buses and trucks going around. Plus average chinese men height is 5’6 something and the pillar looked like 7-10 times his height, must be 30-50
Even if it was only ten feet, it would still be possible to die from the fall. It’s all in the landing.
You don’t have the best depth perception, do ya?
Being there and watching 4:3 is totally different
Well when he crash there head on hes dead.
Hell anyone with a set of eyes can tell thats at least a 25 foot drop anyway.
But what if he dies from cooties? Then it will have all been in wain.
that would only prove he was a homo. then we can understand why he wanted to commit suicide.
After all, as Akihisa Yoshii and gg will remind us, “being gay is wrong.”
Hahaha I laughed my ass off when they were kissing halfway and the rescuers just tossed him in LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Uhm thats normal? Since he could jump any second. Thats just normal and laughing about it is strange.^^
wtf?
She must be China’s secret weapon or spy for honey trap missions!
Chinese girl uses Kiss! Boy is stunned!
it’s super efective
It’s so super effective that the rescuers don’t need pokeballs to catch him.
They didn’t want to waste their pokéballs so they ganged up on him.
Kinda surprised she didnt explode
-1
ooooh a downvote, scary!
-1 in mind
“I’ve done foolish things myself.”
i guess she regrets having gangbang with old men, now wants to switch to young boys
From the video it looks like she cut her wrists.
