#Chongqing: Man jumps into river to escape nagging wife

A 45-year-old man jumped into the Yangtze River from a ship because he was frustrated with his "constantly nagging" wife on Tuesday.

The last words Zhou spoke before jumping into the river were: "I want some peace."

Everyone on the ship thought Zhou would drown in the roaring water. However, he swam to shore and the local police found him.

Seeing him alive, his nagging wife, surnamed Hu, 42, hugged him and promised to try and keep quiet.

  1. It was reported in the China Daily so it must be true. You shouldn't question it.

  3. Good to see the DT taking a leaf from the China Daily's book of high journalistic standards to continue its fine tradition of quality news reporting.
