This Chinese man has saved more than 144 lives—and he's not a doctor!

Chen Si is a Chinese good Samaritan who has stopped more than 144 people from jumping off of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge in Nanjing, China.

Since 2003, Chen Si has spent every weekend on the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, a notorious spot from which to commit suicide. Si patrols the bridge on foot and on his motorbike, looking for people who might be contemplating suicide.

To Si, these are people "who look depressed, those whose psychological pressure is great" and whose "way of walking is very passive with no spirit, or no direction." He then approaches them and tries to talk to them. Occasionally they are already over the railing, and he has to grab them and pull them back over.

If we had more people like Si, the world would be a much better place.
