Woman sends tonne of onions to ex-lover
A jilted Chinese woman has sent an unusual revenge gift to an ex-lover who broke up with her.
The woman in eastern China’s Shandong province bought 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, Shandong Net, a Chinese news outlet reported.
“I cried for three days, and now it’s your turn!,” she wrote in a note alongside the stinging gift.
The woman in Shandong, surnamed Zhao, told Shandong Net that she had been in a relationship with her ex-boyfriend for nearly a year before the man decided to “unilaterally” 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”.
“Money is nothing. But the feelings between two people are precious. I can’t be the only one crying,” she added.
“I don’t know whether her boyfriend is crying or not. But I feel choked, the whole community is filled with the strong stench of rotting onions,” a woman living in the same residential block told Shandong Net.
China marks three different Valentine’s days – one on February 14, along with many other parts of the world, and another in July as per the Chinese Lunar calendar.

Researchers in Barcelona conducted experiments with four zoo giraffes that indicate the animals might be capable of basic quantity tracking, or simple math.
The University of Barcelona, University of Leipzig and Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology researchers, who published their findings in the journal Scientific Reports, presented four giraffes from the Barcelona Zoo with two containers containing different amounts of carrot pieces.
The researchers then covered the containers, and the animals watched as the humans added or subtracted more carrot pieces to them.
The giraffes then selected the containers with more carrot pieces 68 per cent of the time, which the researchers said exceeds the number that could be attributed to random chance.
Researchers said further tests controlling for whether the giraffes were using other methods of decision-making — such as choosing containers based on whether or not the researchers touched them — indicated two of the giraffes may have been using that method, but the other two continued to choose the containers with more carrots at the same rate.
They wrote the results of those two giraffes suggest “the potential use of more complex mental computations.”
The giraffes were less successful in trials where carrots were subtracted from the containers, choosing at a rate consistent with random chance.
The researchers said the giraffes are likely not performing math the same way as humans, but show a basic understanding of numbers that affect their decision-making.
