A netizen named Xiao Chen (not real name) from Fuzhou, Fujian province posted a micro blog to ask for help because his younger sister was driving out to commit suicide at 18:16 of Feb 16, 2012, reported people.com.cn.
Xiao also released her sister Xiao Jun's (not real name) car number plate. The micro blog was soon rapidly reposted. Netizens kept spreading the post while leaving messages on Xiao Jun's micro blog, trying to persuade her to give up suicide.
Radios and taxi companies were also broadcasting the post.
About ten minutes later, a netizen saw the car on the highway to Luoyuan, a county in East Fujian. The local police received a report and started searching for the car.
At 20:10, Xiao Chen released another micro blog, saying that her sister had been found safe by a kind-hearted driver through GPS.
