Crouching Tang Bleeding Li

A poor Chinese man name Li, forced to work on the 2nd shift by an oppressive Communist government, woke up late and refused to make Chicken Fried Rice for his wife Tang who got home after a grueling day on the day shift. Li was running late for work. Tang would have to pitch in and help out once in a while and make her own damned Chicken Fried Rice, and she better well damn quit nagging him first thing in the morning.

Tang was always teasing Li too, lording it over his head that she was on day shift, and therefore had higher status, while Li was on second shift. Tang had an engineering degree. She was a supervisor. Li did not apply himself to his fullest potential while in school. He pushed a broom around on the factory floor at the toy factory and would work the assembly line as an apprentice painting the red feathers on Sylvester the Cat action figure whenever anyone had to take a smoke break or go to the bathroom.

When Li refused to make chicken fried rice, Tang got angry, picked up a sword and ran him through. She claimed it was an accident to avoid the death penalty. Thus ends the miserable existence of poor Chinese Li. The next day, the third shift broomer at the toy factory got the promotion to the 2nd shift broomer.

From the Reuters here:

BEIJING (Reuters) – A Chinese woman has been charged with accidentally killing her husband with a sword after he refused to make her dinner, the Shanghai Daily said on Tuesday.

Police said Tang Xiaowan, 25, who has been practicing swordsmanship since she was young, had often forced her husband of three years at swordpoint to carry out her demands.

On March 3, her husband, Li Weidong, refused to cook dinner because he was late for work.

Police said Tang picked up her sword and put it on Li’s chest and promptly slipped, stabbing Li by mistake.

Li died in hospital from loss of blood.

Tang was arrested Monday and charged with manslaughter.
