Did you know Trivia - A spurned Chinese wife set fire to more than 400 cell phones owned by herself and her husband after he walked out on their marriage, a news agency reported Friday.
Overcome with despair, the woman gathered up their entire stock of more than 400 new mobile phones, reportedly valued at more than 300,000 yuan (USD42,000), and set them on fire, before walking out of the house, the report said.
The couple had owned a successful retail phone business in Weifang, the Eastern province of Shandong. However, their shaky relationship hit rock bottom when her husband left her.
