A Chinese man has gone viral after spending almost an entire day kneeling outside his ex-lover’s workplace, in the rain while begging her to accept him back.
The unidentified young man spent 21 hours, from 1 pm to 10 am. the next day, on his knees with a bouquet of flowers in front of his ex-girlfriend’s office building located in Dazhou, Sichuan province, China; trying to convince her to take him back.

Despite efforts from locals urging the man to give him his efforts, the young man turned deaf ears as he remained on his knees in the rain while battling with cold.
Amid all of these, his ex-lover was nowhere to be seen.
“Many of us tried to talk him into leaving,” said a man, surnamed Li, according to South China Morning Post.
“It’s not necessary to keep on kneeling. The girlfriend is not willing to show up but you are still here, losing face.”
The offbeat situation attracted so much attention that even the police reached the scene and tried to persuade him to leave.
However, he was undeterred and asked the police, “Is it illegal for me to kneel here? If it is not illegal, please leave me alone.’”
A police officer informed that his ex-girlfriend broke up with him a few days ago, adding that he was seeking forgiveness and hoped she could date him again.
The man ultimately left the scene the following day at 10 am ‘because he could not bear the cold any longer’.
