Spending Money on Durian Leads to Husband's Abuse: Two Chinese Women Fabricate Domestic Violence Cases

In Yiliang County, Yunnan Province, and Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, China, two separate "Durian Domestic Violence" rumor incidents have recently been investigated. Two netizens independently claimed to have been subjected to domestic abuse by their husbands over buying a durian, attracting attention and prompting police investigation. The claims were found to be false, and both individuals were given administrative penalties.

Last month in Yiliang County, Yunnan Province, police discovered that a local woman named Wu posted a video on social media claiming that she had been "beaten by her husband just for buying a durian," displaying images of her injuries and hospitalization, which immediately garnered sympathy and heated discussion from netizens.

Police investigation revealed that Wu orchestrated and staged the "domestic violence" at home to gain attention, editing in clips of previous hospitalizations to create the illusion of being a "domestic violence victim." Confronted by the police, Wu confessed to the fabrication and subsequently received an administrative penalty.

Moreover, a similar incident occurred in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province. Local police, during internet surveillance, found that a woman named Zheng posted photos of hand and face injuries, accompanied by a statement, "Is it justifiable to beat me like this just because I spent 40 Yuan (RMB, about 23.6 ringgit) on a durian?" Police investigation found this content to be entirely rumors. After police reprimanded her, Zheng expressed deep remorse and immediately deleted the related video, also receiving an administrative penalty from the police.
