Wu Hsia, 21, broke up with Jun Tang, 20, after meeting new girlfriend Rong Tsao, 22.
But Jun could not accept that it was over and continued to harass him.
Eventually he agreed to meet with her to make it clear where his loyalties lie.
He said: ‘I was sick of being nagged from both sides. Rong was
moaning about Jun and Jun was moaning about her and it all go too much.’
But when they got to the river, in Ningbo, eastern China, the situation went from bad to worse.

A police spokesman said: ‘The girls began arguing and the man’s
ex-girlfriend felt insulted by a comment made by the new girlfriend, and
so she jumped into the river calling for her former lover to save her.
‘The new girlfriend, fearing that he might indeed jump in to save his
ex-lover, then jumped in as well and both of them within calling for
him to rescue them from drowning.’
Wu settled the matter by jumping in the water to save his current
girlfriend, and then taking the soaking wet and slightly injured young
woman to hospital.

The police spokesman added: ‘He called his brother on the way home
and told him to go to the river and rescue the ex-girlfriend.’
Wu’s brother in turn called the fire brigade who arrived at the scene and helped Jun out of the water.
A rescue worker said: ‘She was taken to hospital but was released soon after without any major injuries.’
The story quickly went viral in China where there is a chronic
shortage of women thanks to the country’s one child policy meant parents
preferred male babies. As a result there is a surplus of millions of
single men who will never marry as, normally, they cannot find partners.
