A man in China spent 21 hours on his knees in front of his ex-girlfriend’s job begging her to take him back.

Li noted that it was raining as the man kneeled on the pavement, adding that he left the next morning “probably because he could not bear the cold any longer.”

Passers-by reported the incident to police, who also tried to persuade him to leave.

“He said his girlfriend broke up with him a few days ago. He wants to seek her forgiveness and he hoped she could date him again,” an officer was quoted as saying.

When officers approached him, the man reportedly said, “Is it illegal for me to kneel down here? If it is not illegal, please leave me alone.”

The man’s desperate pleas have gone viral on Weibo, with many users condemning his “extreme” and “self-serving” behavior.

“The more you behave this way, the more she would loathe you. Have more self-esteem. You can only keep her around by improving yourself,” one user wrote. As per the report, the man knelt outside the building’s entrance in Dazhou for 21 hours from 1 pm on March 28 until 10 am the next day. Battling rain and cold, he knelt outside her office with a bouquet of roses in hand waiting for his ex to change her mind.

Meanwhile, locals gathered around him and urged him to give up his efforts, the video media outlet Jiupai News reported. 

”Many of us tried to talk him into leaving. It’s not necessary to keep on kneeling. The girlfriend is not willing to show up but you are still here, losing face,” a man, surnamed, Li was quoted as saying. 

A police officer informed that his ex-girlfriend broke up with him a few days ago, adding that he was seeking forgiveness.
