The Walk of Life

Further to my recent post on Economic Winter where I was invited by Versa Creations to share my personal thoughts, I come across another interesting but bizzare news report from Shanghai, China which, I think is relevent to the topic.

If you read the comments and thoughts by many fellow bloggers on what are appropriate steps to consider in a Economic Winter, this story which I am going to share is more of a "What Not To Do"

According to the report, there is this Shanghai Tycoon who kept 4 Mistresses, find it impossible to upkeep them anymore during the current Economic Winter! So he hired an instructor of a modeling agency who judged a private beauty contest at a local hotel where the contestants were his four mistresses. However his mistresses were not told of this contest. I guess like most contests, there must be a few rounds,

In the first round, one of the mistresses by the name of Liu was eliminated. The tycoon informed her that he is dismissing her and that he is going to sell off her apartment, she exact revenge during the group's next outing! She drove her ex-lover and the other 3 mistresses off a mountain road including herself! Wow! something like a Suicide Bomber act! She died and the rest were seriously injured.

Don't you think this is so funny if not for such tragic ending! The Chinese culturally, practice polygamy but in the olden days, all the concubines (mistresses) live peacefully together in one huge house of many chambers! Today this is not so common, meaning all existing together apparantly harmoniously. Nowadays this is next to impossible! this story seems to indicate that the tycoon managed to keep all together! I guess the wife is excluded! :)
