A man from Chongqing in Southern China nearly suffocated to death after a romantic gesture to his girlfriend went wrong.

Mr Hu Seng had asked his friend to tape him into a box so he could ship himself via a courier service to his girlfriend, Li Wang.

However, the romantic gesture turned into a life-threatening event for Mr Hu when the courier company mixed up the address with another delivery.

The 30-minute wait turned into a three-hour ordeal for Mr Hu.

The material of the box was reportedly too thick for him to make any breathing holes while inside and he did not want to spoil the surprise by calling for attention.

When the box arrived at Li Wang's place, his friend was poised to record the event.

However, they found Mr Hu unconscious and looking pale upon opening the package.

Subsequently, paramedics were called over to her apartment to revive him.

He admitted, "I didn't realise it would take so long."

The courier company said they would not have accepted this delivery if they had known there was a person inside.

The spokesperson said that even for animals, a special container would be used so they can breathe properly.

When I wake up a little more, I may work on the blog. I have a feeling it’s going to get painful. But...

[Monkey Face]

LOL! I saw that, for sure!

[Tax-chick]

Good luck with the blog. Off to owrk I go ...

A most blessed and wonderful morning to everyone and all. Face, those Bonuses are times which are relished. Good to hear Bonuses have not been lost.

[no-to-illegals]

Saw that here also. Nice kitty. That kitty isn't hiding a battle-ax, is it?

[Tax-chick]

Paws are in sight ...

There’s nothing like possum fer supper. Nothing goes to waste.

Zatso?

[null and void]

I hope everyone here is doing better than everyone at the nully nut-house.

We’re all sick as dawgs.

[NicknamedBob]

“The spirits are about to speak!”

Are they friendly spirits?

I'm doing well here. I've been ignoring things I should be doing.

[Monkey Face]

Awww...I hate to hear that!

I hope you all are better soon!

[Monkey Face]

LOL!

I felt the need to add another page to the blog. Some days, writing is not easy. And I don’t mean Writer’s Block, either.

[null and void]

Thanks, Hon. Send chicken soup...

[Monkey Face]

LOL!

Sorry to hear folks are poorly at the House of Nullity and Voidness.

All went well at church today. Cary had hot new shoes (in a “lady over 70” sorta way). Soraida was stuning in a long black dress, a white jacket, and pearls. Silvia had a new antique-lace mantilla with pink roses and looked like the Queen of Spain. And I had dangly earrings that Kathleen really, really wanted to put in her mouth.

Frank was loud, but avoided serious injury for a change.

[Monkey Face]

It sounds like a typical Sunday. There are always people who MUST have new clothes and/or jewelery to show off. Of course, I like the shoes!

[Tax-chick]

Everyone needs something new sometimes. On the one hand, one doesn’t want to be ostentatious, but on the other hand, making an effort for church is nice, rather than, “I have to wear jeans because they’re comfortable,” which I’ve never understood, actually, because I think a dress is much more comfortable than jeans.
