If you try to make a grand romantic gesture, and almost die in the process, does that make it more romantic? Or less romantic? For this guy’s sake, let’s say MORE.

This month, in Chongqing in southern China, a man named Hu Seng decided to surprise his girlfriend by having his friend seal him in a CARDBOARD BOX, then had him delivered to her place by a courier.

There was only one problem. He didn’t poke holes in the box for air, because he was afraid they’d ruin the surprise.

The courier service didn’t realize there was a man in the box, and it took them three hours to deliver him, instead of the 30 minutes Hu expected. So by the time Hu’s girlfriend opened it, he’d PASSED OUT.

But paramedics came and were able to revive him.
