A man suffered serious burns after climbing a high-voltage electricity pylon in an attempt to propose to his girlfriend.
The would-be Romeo attempted the stunt two days after he has split up with his girlfriend in Quanzhou, southern China.
In an effort to win her back, he decided to climb a pylon near to where she worked and cover it in signs declaring his love and asking her to marry him.
Shocking: Firefighters carry the badly-burned man after he attempted to propose to his girlfriend after climbing an electricity pylon in Quanzhou, China
But after ascending the metal pylon, he was electrocuted and thrown off into a muddy puddle below.
Witnesses called emergency services and when firefighters arrived on the scene, they found the man's clothes had been virtually burnt off his skin but he was still breathing.
He was stretchered to a waiting ambulance and rushed to hospital. Doctors say he suffered serious burns, but is now out of danger.
Unfortunately, his ex-girlfriend was less than impressed with the stunt, which she called 'stupid' and 'too extreme', and rejected his proposal.
