A female mainland student was rescued and hospitalized after she live-streamed her suicide attempt of jumping into the sea at the Hung Hom Ferry Pier on Tuesday over an argument with her boyfriend during a video call. The incident occurred around 2am when the 22-year-old woman surnamed Zhao had a FaceTime video call with her boyfriend, Hu, also 22, during which the two had a heated argument. Zhao suddenly hopped over the railing and jumped into the sea. Zhao held on to the lifebuoy until firefighters arrived, and two of them jumped into the sea to rescue Zhao, who was conscious and barefoot. The boyfriend Hu also arrived and gave Zhao his slippers.
