Speaking of hard-working heroes, tonight This American Life ran a story about a man who spends every weekend patrolling a four mile long bridge in China. The bridge is famous for the number of suicides it attracts; the man, Chen Si, does his best to prevent as many of them as he can.
It's another one of those "driveway moment" stories that TAL does so well. The episode goes up for free download Sunday night. In the meantime, you can check out some English translations of Chen's blog posts in which he talks about his efforts.
