BEIJING: A Chinese woman created a 58-page PowerPoint file detailing her boyfriend’s history of infidelity with more than 300 women and shared it online.
The incident rapidly became the top trending post on the Chinese social media platform Weibo on Thursday (Sept 19), garnering 300 million views.
In the PowerPoint file she crafted, she accused the man, known by his surname Shi, a management trainee at China Merchants Bank’s Shenzhen headquarters, of engaging in sexual activities with hundreds of women, including sex workers, over the course of a year.
The anonymous woman, who began dating Shi in October last year, initially perceived him as a “gentleman”.
Her shock set in when, in June, she discovered sexually explicit messages exchanged via chat apps between him and numerous women.
The slideshow disclosed that he had made at least nine visits to sex workers, paying between 2,500 to 5,000 yuan (US$350 to US$700) from March to August.
Additionally, it presented romantic messages exchanged with around 300 women he encountered on dating apps, labelled with trade settlement terminology such as T0 and T1.
There were also photos documenting his sexual encounters with various women.
The poster stated she confronted Shi in June, but he knelt before her, pleading with her not to tell anyone and promising it would never happen again.
She claimed she forgave him to avoid upsetting his parents.
However, she resolved to seek revenge upon discovering he continued cheating in September.
Shi is a recent graduate from the School of Economics at Xiamen University.
He participated in a programme at China Merchants Bank designed to train young professionals for leadership roles, typically offering good pay and advancement opportunities.
On September 19, the bank announced it had terminated Shi’s employment and expelled him from the Chinese Communist Party following an investigation into the matter, as reported by the Chinese media outlet Securities Times.
The woman indicated that she would also report Shi’s involvement with prostitutes, which is illegal in China, to the police and other relevant authorities.
Nevertheless, Liao Hua, a lawyer at China’s Taihetai Law Firm, stated that the girlfriend’s act of posting unverified information about Shi online might infringe upon his privacy.
The man’s promiscuity and the woman’s pursuit of revenge have ignited intense discussions online.
“This is what a powerful woman does: never forgive, never trust again, and make him pay for his disloyalty,” one user commented.
“Is it really that easy to work at China Merchants Bank if he had time to cheat on his girlfriend with 300 women?” another mused. - South China Morning Post
