It is understood that the man is the owner of Chen Guang Hotel, surnamed Chen, over 50 years old. Four years ago, he took over the hotel with a loan. However, after one year of operation, the metro construction began and the hotel's business became bleak. This year, after the metro was repaired, the hotel's business just started to improve, but the contract expired, and Chabu Village did not intend to renew it. Chen couldn't accept this and climbed up to the roof.

At around 3:30 PM, the reporter at the scene saw a man sitting on the edge of the corner of the fifth floor rooftop of Chen Guang Hotel. He was holding a cardboard sign which read "Four years of poor management." The man was very emotional, and the police were trying to persuade him from a distance.

The reporter observed two fire trucks and a ladder truck rescuing on the scene. Relevant personnel from Chabu Village also came to the scene to persuade Chen. Despite the persuasion from everyone, the man ignored them. Due to the hot weather yesterday afternoon, with the orange high-temperature warning signal hanging over the urban area of Guangzhou, Chen was exposed to the sun on the roof for more than 1 hour, leading to severe physical exhaustion. At around 4:30 PM, Chen suddenly fainted from heatstroke on the roof. Fire personnel quickly went forward to rescue him and carried him down the building, lifting him onto the ambulance and sending him to the hospital for treatment.
