Wang, a 37 year-old Chinese lady, and her husband’s marriage was on the rocks. They fought often and Wang had become desperate to win her husband’s heart back.

Sometimes love will cause people to go to extremes, in an effort to win the heart of the person they want. Wang, a 37 year-old Chinese woman found that out the hard way.

On March 3rd, they had a really bad fight and the husband slammed the door and left their home in anger.

Knowing her marriage was on the rocks and they were fighting frequently, Wang decided to do something to win her estranged husband back.

Wang gathered more than 400 brand new phones, from their successful phone retail businesses inventory, and placed them on their bed. She then poured Kerosene on them and set them on fire, before leaving the house herself.

I’m the only guy in the world who has to wake up to have a nightmare (husband)

Ok, here’s another idea. Let’s toss this in the oven and see if it bakes.

@darkwing duck: hahaha Aw that’s mean.

Love CAN make you do crazy things, but that’s not saying it always does. I really don’t understand how she thought she could get her husband back by burning down the house.

i think it should be rather obvious why she thought that would bring them together. what is it that most couples fight about? money! so by destroying their business and home she thought she could bring them back together by removing the problem area. This of course is just a theory but it makes sence to me.
