Newlywed Woman Blinded By Husband After Refusing To Fuel His Gaming Addiction

ADVERTISEMENT

A Chinese woman was brutally beaten and blinded by her husband after refusing to top up his online gaming account.

Two months into their marriage, the husband, surnamed Xie, demanded 10,000 yuan ($1,400 USD) from his wife. When she declined, he started punching her in a rage and then hit her with a frying pan.

He then proceeded to strangle her with pajamas but was stopped when his cousin intervened.

Highlights
  • A Chinese woman was beaten and blinded by her husband after refusing to give him 10,000 yuan for online gaming.
  • The victim, Lao Chunxue, met her husband Xie through a relative in 2022 and had arguments about his gaming obsession before marriage.
  • Chunxue was in a coma for three months and suffered permanent blindness and severe injuries that left her unable to care for herself.

    Lao Chunxue is 28 years old and lived in Inner Mongolia in northern China. She met her husband, surname Xie, through a relative in 2022. 

    The two have had arguments about Xie’s gaming obsession in the past, but the man had always treated his soon-to-be-wife with care. This prompted Chunxue to go ahead with the marriage.

    The couple relocated to the Henan province shortly afterwards, which was when the husband started constantly demanding Chunxue for money.

    This particular attack had further been fueled by the man’s mother, who was allegedly on video call during the incident. She said, “If she does not give you money, beat her to death.”

    The victim, who was saved by Xie’s cousin, was admitted under intensive care of the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. She was in a coma for three months.

    Once she woke up, doctors discovered she had permanently lost her eyesight. 

    She was diagnosed with optic atrophy, resulting from intracranial bleeding. The attack also left her with severe injuries that made her unable to care for herself.

    Her parents traveled to visit and were heartbroken, saying, “Seeing our daughter like this felt like a knife cutting our hearts.” 

    When Chunxue attempted to reclaim her assets in order to fund her rehabilitation, she discovered her husband had transferred her car to his mother’s name

    Xie’s family has contributed 36,000 yuan ($5,000 USD) to her medical expenses due to police intervention.

    The victim’s mother says, “He comes from a wealthy family, worth millions, but they only gave us 36,000 yuan, a contribution made in the hopes of reducing his sentence.”

    On August 30, the People’s Court of Zhongyuan District in Zhengzhou in Henan province sentenced Xie to 11 years in prison for intentional homicide and ordered him to pay the victim 657,000 yuan ($93,000 USD) in compensation.

    Chunxue’s parents are currently appealing the decision, demanding a life sentence for Xie.

    His mother also needs to spend time in jail for egging him on. Telling him top beat her to death? What a sick, heartless woman. Both sound like sociopaths.

    Violence doesn't come out of nowhere. It wasn't psychotic break or a bad batch of d***s, there are always warning signs. It's not this woman's fault, but knowing what to look out for saves lives. Pay attention, quickly serious relationships, a partner that moves away from your support network, mood swings, strict adherence to gender roles, racist remarks, bullying "jokes", two or more of these and it's a really good predictor of domesic violence. Look out for yourself and your friends.
