An article appeared in the Otago Daily Times World Focus last Monday about a man who spends a good deal of his free time stopping people from committing suicide on the Nanjing Bridge, which flows over the Yangtze River. So far he has managed to stop some 144 people from jumping to their deaths.
The article says the man's motivation is the feeling of guilt he was left with after an older man who had encouraged him when he was down and out subsequently committed suicide because of troubles he hadn't been able to share.
The full article first appeared in the Los Angeles Times, and can be accessed here.
It's well worth reading for an example of how God works to save lives by a modern day Samaritan, who appears to have no Christian motivation.
