A young man cherished a mobile phone containing photos of his girlfriend so much that he jumped from a moving train after accidentally dropping it out of a window.

Hu, from Jiangxi Province, asked an attendant to order an emergency stop after dropping the phone but was turned down. In desperation, Hu then jumped out of a window to try to find it, despite other passengers urged him not to do so.

But he failed to find the phone as he suffered a fractured hand and leg in the jump.
