According to Taiwanese mechhes such as Seongju Mang and FTNN newspapers, Hong (57), a resident of Shinbei City, visited the nearby sea at around 6 p.m. on the 6th (local time).
After drinking with his friends after work, he decided to soak in the sea water and relax at Wanli Beach to cool off.
Fell asleep on the tube, he woke up and noticed that he was floating in the open ocean.
Unable to report because he did not have a cell phone, he remained calm and waited for rescue.
At around 1:30 p.m. the next day, a fishing boat passing by fortunately found him, rescued him, and informed the fire department. Hong had been floating alone in the middle of the sea for 19 hours.
He was taken to a hospital, but he was not hurt, so he was immediately discharged and returned home.
Netizens wondered how scared they were alone in the dark?", "If there was a wind and rain...God helped me.", "Did you try to sneak into the country and fail?" give a back reaction.
