Cry hard with a vengeance: Chinese woman sends tonne of onions to ex-boyfriend
- ‘I cried for three days, and now it’s your turn!’ woman says in note left with stinging gift
- Neighbour of ex-boyfriend says community was ‘filled with the strong stench of rotting onions’
A jilted Chinese woman has sent an unusual revenge gift to an ex-lover who broke up with her days before Chinese Valentine’s Day – dumping a truckload of onions on his doorstep to bring him to tears.
The woman in east China’s Shandong province bought a tonne of onions online and had them delivered to her former boyfriend’s house, saying it was “his turn” to cry.
She ordered the delivery drivers to pile the eye-watering vegetable up on her ex-boyfriend’s doorstep and leave without ringing the doorbell, according to a report by Shandong Net, a news outlet affiliated to the local government.
“I cried for three days, and now it’s your turn!” she wrote in a note left with the stinging gift.
The woman, surnamed Zhao, said she had been in a relationship with her ex-boyfriend for nearly a year before the man decided to break up.
“It caused me a lot of pain, but he refused to cry!” Zhao said.
So she said she decided to send a gift that would “squeeze out his tears”.
