Cosmin M. Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 A married Chinese businessman who could no longer afford five mistresses held a competition to decide which one to keep. But the contest took a fatal turn when one of the women, eliminated for her looks, drove the man and the four other competitors off a cliff, Chinese media reported. The spurned mistress died and the other passengers were injured, the reports said. Police initially thought the car had plummeted off a mountain road in eastern China on December 6 by accident. Then they learned of the contest through a letter the dead woman had left behind, the Shanghai Daily newspaper said. The 29-year-old woman, identified only as Yu, was a waitress when she met the businessman at a restaurant in the coastal city of Qingdao in 2000. At the time, the businessman, identified only by his last name — Fan — was married and had four other mistresses, according to the Peninsula Metropolis Daily newspaper in Qingdao. The women knew of one another, but none elected to break up with the man and give up their rent-free apartment and a 5,000 yuan ($730) monthly allowance, the reports said. When the economy soured, the businessman apparently decided to let go of all but one mistress. He staged a private talent show in May, without telling the women his intentions. An instructor from a local modeling agency judged the women on the way they looked, how they sang and how much alcohol they could hold, the Shanghai Daily said. The judge knocked out Yu in the first round of the competition based on her looks. Angry, she decided to exact revenge by telling her lover and the four other women to accompany her on a sightseeing trip before she returned to her home province, the media reports said. It was during the trip that Yu reportedly drove the car off the cliff. Fan shut down his company after the crash and paid Yu’s parents 580,000 yuan ($84,744) as compensation for her death. The four other women left him, as did his wife when she learned of the affairs. Source: CNN Quote

Members phkrause Posted February 22, 2009 Members Posted February 22, 2009 I'm actually surprised that the wife left him, because I had heard that in oriental countries that it is a common thing to have a wife and many mistress's. pk Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

Plain Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I have lived in Asia, but I am not Asian. The idea that Asians are more sexually unfaithful is ridiculous. Does porn, divorce, adultery and laxs morals have only "almond eyes"?? Anybody here actually ever spend any time in Asia? Quote
Lineman Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Seems to me that the ONLY reason one might think that the USA type country is less "sexually unfaithful" may be due to laws forcing us to have only one spouse. I am sure that if these laws were not in place there would be no distiction. Quote Visit and Share the BibleTimelines.com URL ! (Explain the Gospel in just a few minutes, or maybe even seconds.)

Lineman Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 ...maybe the reason for these countries vs the U.S.A. is the cultures and society is bible base vs non bible base Could very well be the reason. If one has a good reason not to, why do it? Quote Visit and Share the BibleTimelines.com URL ! (Explain the Gospel in just a few minutes, or maybe even seconds.)
Neil D Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 I have lived in Asia, but I am not Asian. ...Anybody here actually ever spend any time in Asia? Yeah, spent a year there as a student missionary in Korea....looking back, it was fun....but at the time, I remember wanting to be home with my friends and missing my relatives.... Thought several times of bringing home an Asian girl friend....twas best that I didn't.... Quote Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve. George Bernard Shaw
