A JILTED CHINESE man spent
$40,000 to book four entire IMAX
cinemas to prove his ex-girlfriend
was wrong to dump him for being
poor seven years ago.
Yep, seven years ago. This lad
doesn’t want to let it go.
In a series of posts on China’s
Twitter-like social network Sina
Weibo, the man said:
I was so poor when we were in our
fourth year at college in 2007 that I
could not afford just two film
tickets. You said when you left for
Beijing that I will always be that
way.
I have been working hard for the
past seven years because of that
sentence and today I spent half my
monthly income to book all the
seats in Beijing’s IMAX cinemas on
June 27.
“I just want to say maybe your
choice back then was wrong,” he
added.
As evidence he posted the contract
with a booking agency and three
receipts totalling 250,000 yuan
($40,000) – in case you were
wondering, his film of choice was
the new Transformers movie.
He called on Internet users to spread
the message “until she sees it” and
promised to reward reposters with
free tickets.
They quickly ran out, and his
message had been reposted more
than 110,000 times by Friday.
It seems the stunt got her attention
– his old flame got in touch and the
pair put the feud behind them.
However he indicated that there was
no hope of rekindling their
relationship.
“I promised her when we first met
that if she left one day, I would
make the whole world know I was
looking for her,” he said.
