Inspired by Hong Kong actor Chow Yun-fat’s plan to donate his entire fortune, a Shanghai woman has encouraged her mother to donate a 10 million yuan (US$1.5 million) apartment to the government upon their deaths.
The mother surnamed Lv and the daughter surnamed Ye went to the Second Service Centre of the China Will Registration Centre in Shanghai to make their wills earlier this month, the Shanghai Morning Post reported.
Lv said that she had felt for a long time that it was a pity that no one would inherit the house after her daughter died, as the latter had no partner or children.

She said she does not follow the example of many other Chinese parents who force their children to marry.

It was the daughter who persuaded Lv to donate the property to the government, the report said.
