A 33-year-old Chinese man caused a mild drama last week in China in protest against his wife’s refusal to give him another child.
The depressed father of one spent 16 hours on a 130-foot-tall transmission tower threatening to take his own life because his wife of many years only gave him a boy.
After 16 hours on the tower, Zhang Guiping eventually came down and walked away unharmed.

Given his mental state, Zhang was sent to the Hengfeng Psychiatric Hospital for treatment.
