An eyewitness said: "He told her she already had enough shoes, more shoes that she could wear in a lifetime, and it was pointless buying any more. She started shouting at him, accusing him of being a skinflint, and of spoiling Christmas. It was a really heated argument."
The argument continued until Hsiao threw the bags on the floor and himself over the balcony, dropping seven stories to his death and smashing Christmas decorations on the way down.

Until you ask them what they think of Chinese men. I can't count the number of times I have been told "Never, again!" :)
Actually, there are plenty of girls in the big cities - it's the rural areas that are experiencing the huge shortfall.
Yep, it’s totally secular in those places I would think, even in Korea it probably is mostly.
I just contemplated slitting my throat. Those Chinese are creative
So now she gets the life insurance—how’s that gonna be a detriment.
Can you even begin to comprehend living in a society where 1 in every 4 adult men you meet will have never married, and not by choice? How could this change the social and cultural dynamics of China?
***It will make for a bloodthirsty military.

Here is my swag on what is going to happen in Taiwan, posted on an earlier thread,
“China Rapidly Modernizes for War With U.S.”.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1285398/posts
1) The one-child policy has created a testosterone-rich generation the likes of which no one on earth has ever seen. China will have an entire army of what they call “little dictators” who have few prospects of finding women, and they will be very aggressively pushing their old-guard superiors for action on the Taiwan issue. The final straw will be that they’ll be promised wives when they invade Taiwan.
2) Their army is as much as 200 Million strong, which was the size predicted in Revelation in the Bible, called “The Kings of the East.” They can afford casualties in the range of 10 million, which is 5 times bigger than our army ever was. China has some unfinished business with Vietnam, having fought to a standoff in 1979. They might do a run through Vietnam first so that their troups are more battle-hardened and arrogant, knowing that the US didn’t exactly win there. The added bonus is they get one of the largest warm water ports in the world.
3) Taiwan has never declared independence. It’s not like the brave Estonians standing up to Russia when communism fell. They’re like an impudent child claiming to have sovereignty over China. Their fatal miscalculation is that they know they’ll need Americans to fight for them if they are in a war, but Americans will be reluctant to shed blood for an ally that didn’t have the courage to declare independence until they were invaded on an “internal dispute”. The chinese will hammer away at this in the press.
4) Chinese weapons policy has been to cycle through older generations of weaponry and stay about one generation behind the latest stuff. They sold their old silkworm missiles to the Iranians and used that money to upgrade their newer missiles, which are inferior to US missiles but they only need to be functional. The plan is to overwhelm defenses with superior numbers. No ship can stand up to 50 supersonic silkworm missiles aimed at it. They have similar tactics for other systems, such as anti aircraft missiles.
5) The chinese went up against Americans in Korea. They sent in 300 thousand infantry up against a much smaller American force. The key was that they only had rifles for about 1 in 5 personnel. So they would tell one to go as far as he could till he got shot, then the 2nd one would pick up the rifle & keep charging, and so on. Today, every one of those infantrymen has an automatic rifle. They are not as well equipped as their US counterparts but they can afford a lot of casualties. Vietnam, Iraq, Somalia and other engagements proved that you can’t replace feet on the ground with air superiority. No matter how advanced the air force is nor how many smart bombs get dropped, the US won’t be able to dislodge a standing army without sending in massive troup numbers and experiencing casualties. If our press made a big deal about losing 1000 US soldiers in Iraq, they’ll have a heydey with 500 thousand casualties. Seeing the press reaction emboldens the Chinese.
6) China is building a blue-water navy including submarines. They might be able to achieve a standoff in the surrounding ocean, limiting the ability to resupply american troups while the chinese troups will pillage Taiwan. Once America loses 2 nuclear powered aircraft carriers (with the resulting radioactive plumes), the calculation is that the U.S. will lose stomach for more fighting.
7) The trick to defeating these strategies with minimal casualties will be special forces operating in Taiwan. They will need to have the ability to direct standoff weapons fire onto individual tanks and squad units in order to be effective.
8) The most likely outcome will be that Taiwan will be a giant pile of rubble. Casualties could run as high as WWII. If China wins, it could be a Pyrrhic victory. If the US wins, it will take a whole generation to repair and rebuild. I think the Chinese view towards weakness or perceived weakness is a little bit like how Germany viewed the U.S. after we sent 10,000 men wandering in the hills to find Pancho Villa, to no avail. The Germans perceived it as weakness and went ahead with their war plans.

Pretty much in Tokyo - they love the gift-giving and the spectacle. There are, however, a number of Japanese Christians in the south with a horrific history of persecution. That persecution ended when the Shoguns went away. Unfortunately their population concentration was in Nagasaki. Which we bombed.
Wow, to think this happened in Communist China, I guess things really have changed over there. The poor man, RIP.
“...in the Chinese countryside, the poor, uneducated and rural population will be more likely to lose out in the competition for brides...”
Precisely because it’s Chinese peasants who over many centuries have always valued boys more than girls & abandoned untold numbers of girl babies to die by roadsides or in hideous charnel houses known as `baby towers’. The communist `one child’ policy only made this practice worse.
Nowadays there literally exists a Red Chinese “Bachelor Army”. Unmarried men have always made for the cheapest cannon fodder since the dawn of warfare, and the PRC has this expendable resource in the hundreds of millions.
There was Christian persecution in Korea at times too
Let’s wait to see if he was an illegal immigrant or not. If he was an illegal, he probably thought the law of gravity didn’t apply to him.
If true, I know I shouldn’t laugh about this. I know there is a human death behind this story, a real person. I am being serious.
But I feel like a kid at a tragic event whose lower lip is trembling under the strain of avoiding a smirk.
This is a strange world we are in.
His last words: “I fell for you baby—hard.”
There are things that Man was not meant to know.
I feel ya, bro!
Admit it "shop 'til he drops" is the female version of the Knockout Game isn't it? ;^)
Can you even begin to comprehend living in a society where 1 in every 4 adult men you meet will have never married, and not by choice? How could this change the social and cultural dynamics of China?

That's the big news I took away from this story as well.
