Yeah, well, it took Mr. Chen a while to come back on his moped.

But when he came, when he showed up, the crowd sort of parted.

And I was holding on to this man whose name was Van Pink.

And he said to me, step away, which I thought was a really bad idea because we're standing right next to the railing.

But he had such command of the situation and all the nuances of the situation that I just stepped away.

I just let go and stepped away.

And then he said, I want to take your picture, which seemed like, you know, I didn't even understand what that was about.

He's taking a picture of the guy.

Yeah.

So he pulls out his cell phone or the camera, takes a picture, and then he says, and now I think I should punch you in the face.

Holy.

Then he said, you call yourself Chinese.

How dare you?

How dare you call yourself Chinese?

Come up on this bridge with the intention of killing yourself today.

You know, you are somebody's son.

You know, how dare you?

I am going to punch you in the face.

I'm going to punch you right now.

And the crowd, of course, is like crushing in because they think there's going to, he's going to punch him.
