A man who jumped into a well in Fujian province called for help, saying he had dropped the idea of committing suicide.

Gao, 19, who lives in a village in Longhai city, is suffering from a severe eye infection and couldn't afford the cost of the treatment.

On July 15, he jumped into a 10-m-deep well in his village in a bid to end his life but soon after screamed out for help.

Villagers called the cops, who threw Gao a rope and pulled him up to safety.
