Son thinks mother too ugly to meet girlfriend

mimo2005 · 09-28-2007, 08:03 AM

A man, surnamed Chen, recently sparked great controversy in his hometown when he mailed his mother 2,000 yuan ($266.67) for cosmetic purposes before bringing his girlfriend back home to the city of Dongguan, Guangdong Province.

Chen did not want his homely mother to lose face when she saw his girlfriend.

Chen fell in love with a beautiful girl when he was a university student. With the help of his girlfriend's rich family, Chen landed a job in a city outside Guangdong after he graduated last year.

It will be the first time Chen's girlfriend will meet his mother, a cleaner at a local housing estate in the city's Fenggang Township. His mother was confused when she received the money and a letter from her son last week, asking her to improve her looks. Unsure what to do, she sought advice from her neighbors and relatives. Many local residents thought Chen had forgotten his family and his past suffering, and they felt Chen had disrespected his mother.

I'd take the money for something else and then embarass him
