Wu Yongning was only 26 years old and had a legion of a million followers in Chinese social networks.

He was a youtuber acrobat who shared his temerities on big buildings in China on the net. He did it without a harness or any protection and finally a slip saved his life last month. The fateful challenge was recorded and now his girlfriend has shared the harsh images.

This "Chinese superman", as some called him, was trained in martial arts and in the past he had worked extra in the film industry. Although he left all this to devote full time to his extreme climbing acrobatics because he earned more money thanks to sharing them on the internet.

He risked his life to earn 100,000 yuan
His last big challenge was to climb to the top of the Huayan Internaciona Center. A 62-story building located in Changsha, capital of the province of Huan. The plan was to record one of his spectacular videos for YouTube and calculated to win 100,000 yuan (about 13,000 euros). A money with which he intended to pay for his wedding and help pay for the medical treatment of his mother, according to the South China Morning Post.

Without knowing it, Wu Yongning what he recorded was his own death. The YouTube video (the most sensitive ones that you do not give to the play) shows how the building was placed on the cornice and starts doing several push-ups. The forces are failing him, he is unable to climb at all and ends up falling tragically.
