Man burns himself after marriage proposal refused

A man burned himself and was seriously injured after his marriage proposal was rejected by his girlfriend in Qingdao, Shandong province, on Saturday, reported jxnews.com.cn.

The 38-year-old man surnamed Wu, from Nanchang, Jiangxi province, drove a BMW 1,100 kilometers to Qingdao, where his girlfriend lived in order to propose to her.

He became close to the girl in 2011 but the relationship eventually ran into problems. The girl made an effort to break up and returned to her hometown Qingdao.

Wu said he loved his girlfriend very much. He drove a car with betrothal gifts worth tens of thousands of yuan to propose. He prepared for the worst by bringing a barrel of gas in case he was refused.
