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.

A 98-year-old British World War II veteran, Harry Heasman officially became the world’s oldest wing walker when he stood atop a flying plane in England.
He spent more than 9 minutes atop the plane at a height of over 1,000 feet on Saturday at Duxford Airfield in Cambridge.
A Guinness World Records adjudicator was on hand to officially certify Heasman as the world’s oldest wing walker.
“I have dreamed of doing this since I was a young child and to finally live that dream at 98 years old and to be a Guinness World Records title holder is beyond anything I could have ever imagined,” Heasman told Guinness World Records.
The nonagenarian said he spent 11 months working with a physical trainer to get his body and mind ready for the attempt.
His record attempt raised money for the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund and served as a tribute to his wife and son, who both died after battles with cancer.
“Harry is proof that it is never too late to chase a dream. At 98 years old, what he has achieved is nothing short of extraordinary. Over the last few months, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know him and seeing the determination behind this challenge,” said Lindsey Bidwell, a representative from the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund.
