today 洪利传道 told us at our worship session about this incident that happened last night at the block just opposite of his house. A 6th floor unit was on fire, and he saw a man lying down at the 12th floor, while everyone was looking at the fire. He rushed down to tell the police that he suspect that the man is linked to the fire and he might want to jump off and commit suicide. But the police were slow in doing things, so he was already back at his own block when he saw the police arriving at 12 floor to persuade the man. But not even 5 seconds passed then the man leap off the railing. No one screamed. All were just so, so shocked. Even kids paled.

At this moment, the whole church was so quiet. I think everyone kinda held their breath. But he continued to say that the ambulance took the man away and rushed to the hospital. Now, everyone's focus went back to the burnt unit.We all hoped that no one were inside the house...but there were. 2 kids, one boy who's 5 and a girl, who's 3. Another ambulance came and 洪利传道 said he and his friends were hoping to see the firemen hand the 2 kids to the ambulance because he said, "If one were to be taken by an ambulance, it means that he's not dead yet." But, the ambulance came and then drove off, without anyone being sent back to the hospital for treatment. The kids were burnt to death.

Today our topic is about "人到底能忍耐多少？" and 洪利传道 asked us if we knew how much did the man tolerated? What is it that cause him to do such a thing...of course, we don't know.

But man, that's like the saddest thing to hear in the early morning.T____T Literally pulls my mood down. Here's a link to a news article about the incident. Click!<--

My prayers go out to the wife and the deceased kids and father.
