Desperate Chinese Housewives...With Swords!
Well, what can I say? There are crazy people all over the world.
Check out this wild story of a Chinese woman who stabbed her husband with a sword because he refused to cook dinner for her. Scary!
BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese woman has been charged with accidentally killing her husband with a sword after he refused to make her dinner, the Shanghai Daily said on Tuesday. Police said Tang Xiaowan, 25, who has been practising swordsmanship since she was young, had often forced her husband of three years at swordpoint to carry out her demands. |
Golly, it sounds like a domestic dispute if Mulan is the disgruntled housewife.
I found the link at Sandmonkey, who comments that this story destroys the popular myth that Asian women are all submissive. (I could tell you that! And without stabbing anyone!)
