A woman in Beijing has attracted attention for calling the police after she found “solicitation cards” made by her sister listing her personal information as the pair were involved in a property dispute.
The woman, surnamed Li who is in her 50s, said in a video released at the end of December that she picked up some sex service advertisement cards in her residential community which showed her name, phone number and a picture of her with face touched up by using a beautifying filter.
“At your service 24 hours a day. No limit on the time and you can pay only when you are satisfied,” the ad reads, along with some more lewd language describing the services on offer, Daxiang News reported.

The cards were distributed in the corridors of residential buildings and stuck on walls and lamp posts, according to the woman.
Li claimed the card was made by her elderly sister in an act of revenge because they were fighting over the ownership of a house.
It is unclear what evidence the woman has to support her allegation that her sister was behind the cards.
“Many strangers called me in the evening because of the cards,” she said in the video, adding that she has reported the case to the police in the Mentougou District of the city.
Police officers have cleaned up the cards left on the street, as an investigation continues, the report said.
In another video shared on December 30, Li said both her parents have passed away.
“If they were alive, they would have died with anger,” she said. “Now I am famous on the internet. I don’t know whether it is me or my elderly sister who is more filled with shame,” said Li.
People on mainland social media were captivated by the story. About 10,000 comments were left on one major social media platform alone.
“Are you sure she is your true elderly sister?” asked one online observer.
“This case demonstrates again that family bonds vanish when people are in conflict over money and property,” said another.
“Just give those strangers your sister’s mobile number,” suggested another.
Family members bickering over property often make headlines in China.
Last year, a court in northwestern Gansu province heard a lawsuit filed by an old man against his adult son.
The father said years ago, he paid all the money to buy a flat which was registered under his son’s name. Later the father asked the son to transfer the property ownership to him, but was rejected.
The court supported the father’s request.
